the hello i'm terry martin. good to have you with us will begin with breaking news from south africa. at least 73 people are dead with dozens more injured after a fire broke out in a multi story building. in downtown johannesburg. emergency services say the blaze is now under control, but they fear the death toll comprises the recovery operation continues. is not yet clear what caused the fire, which broke out in the early morning. is believe the building was being used as a homeless shelter by homeless people are for more now are joined by dw use die at hawk, or who's in johannesburg, done. this fire has resulted in a huge loss of life. what more do we know about it too?

well, it is quite a huge loss of life and i, i certainly think that nobody would have expected it when it started this morning in the early hours of the morning. it seems that the numerous families living in the building, the city manager told me not so long ago that they were a 143 different families with in that both big, many of them with children as well. that means that there's also a number of children who have passed away. the goal is that the fire has not yet been fully tube, and they are new fire crews. with just arrived on the scene, they have gone to the upper levels of the building. now to start going through those flows, they haven't got the foot through incompletion as yet. and the, the new fi, a team that has arrived is on that flu. we'd be told that by this afternoon, they expect it to be a little bit more information, possibly about the cause of the fire. okay, and i'm told that we are looking at live pictures of the fire crews. uh that were

just uh, entering the building on their letters. uh, diane, how effective were the emergency services initially in bringing this fire under control and rescuing people as well from what the community members have told us? yeah, initially the residents in the buildings around the school, they 1st started to help. and then later on the fire crews started arriving. they got to a quite early the morning. the fios was fit to have started around 1 am. the emergency services crew arrives up soon. afterwards, we also know that this isn't a band and building, which means that it doesn't have a water supply. i'll be on the fire and emergency services would have had to come with the water on fi, a truck to try and extinguish the try a. this building also doesn't have electricity supplies, which also would have made the practice of going through the building and identify

the areas of search much more difficult uh for the, for the by a prove how common are fires in johannesburg. can you give us a, a sense of, of whether anything like this has structure i haven't spoke before to. ringback the most devastating fire that comes to mind is a fire that took place at the municipal office building a few years ago. and one of the main challenges with backs of fi it was that the city of drobek at the time didn't have sufficient emergency services. and, and with letters that were high enough to reach the people in those buildings. however, this is a 5 story building. the emergency service is trucks that are available are high enough. and it does seem that the emergency who do have enough people to deal with this incident. i think one of the big problems is that the building is in a band and building. and that in itself is a challenge. when it comes to abandoned buildings, you enjoy this,

but it's not always p. a with the entrance is sometimes the buildings are locked and changed in the evening. and sometimes it's the kids who the owner call. and like i mentioned, there's no water and there's no electricity, all of that makes a box and will compound it situation for the emergency services to actually do the face that they have to gain access and to rescue people. diane, thank you very much for bringing this up to date. that was the w is diane hawker in johannesburg. are staying in africa and moving on to got bong, coo leaders there have named republican guard chief general bruce, a clo town, only gay, and game a as head of a transitional government. they have a two's, the deposed president, tally bongo of embezzlement, and placed him under house arrest. world leaders have condemned the coup which brought a whole to bond goes almost 14 year rule. us says it's deeply concerned about the unrest in the oil,
