frames had gotten so hot and you couldn't open the front door because then all the smoke would come in from the hallway. so her, it's her, if it seems that must have unfolded here when the fire broke out. today this morning we are time. absolutely, just very horrific doesn't what do we know about the victims and, and the people who've been taken to hospital by so we know unfortunately, as we heard, jared, that there is a number of children who, who died in the fire apparently. and a lot of people who live in this building, this is the bronx. it's a working class neighborhood. a lot of people lived in this building were working class. a lot of them were immigrant. that is what we know. a lot of them were dependent on rental assistance, so the authorities have said it'll be very hard for them to find permanent living or permanent housing after, after their homes have been destroyed in the building in the fire today. and so

a lot of the people who weren't taking the hospital were taken to nearby school because of course they need, they need shelter, they need a roof over their head. it's raining, as you can see, it's cold winter it's, it's freezing, temperature here. so that is what the parties are focusing on right now. they're trying to provide whatever help is possible and whatever help these people need who have lost their home so tragically, in the fire today. jared, best in just briefly, do we know why the death toll was as high as it is? well, so apparently the fire and the smoke must have spread very quickly for the building . because apparently, because the thought was left open, a fire apparently was cause that's what we're hearing now by a space heater in these winter temperatures. and so the people who died apparently no one burned, that's what we heard. but the people who did die died from inhaling that toxic smoke that must have spread very quickly throughout the entire building. jared, okay, douglas, bessie and heartache. they're in the bronx at the scene of

what's happened exactly on that front? yeah, absolutely. there's a few things going on in dade service. come out and support a doctor because of course, one of their most famous nationals. you have an australian election coming up this year. so again, critics of the government claim that this is, you know, more of a political decision than it is one of sort of, you know, procedure because of course there has been a huge backlash in this trailing community. and thirdly, it's also brought attention to the fact that i'm talking to explain held in a hotel, which is also been detaining around 30, as i'm saying, is in refugees. we've all kind of been brought in for medical treatment from australia, offshore detention centers in madison. now, ruth, is this, you know, protest is in favor of joking and refugees that have been outside the dies. it certainly brought out a lot of international and domestic political issues. it's not just about tennis.
