New Paris blaze kills at least 12
At least 12 people have been killed and several injured in the third deadly fire in Paris in less than two weeks.
The blaze ripped through a 15-storey building in L'Hay-les-Roses, south of the French capital, early on Sunday.

The apartment building was not used to house immigrants - as was the case in last month's fires in the city.

Detectives believe the fire was started deliberately and people were reportedly seen setting light to letterboxes. Four people have been arrested.

It was quickly put out by some 160 firefighters, but people were mainly killed by the fumes, according to officials.

At least 13 injured have been taken to hospitals in the area.

One woman gave birth at the scene right after being rescued, and was then taken to hospital with her baby.

The building dates back to the 1970s, but had been recently renovated.

Demands

The blaze came only a few hours after thousands of people marched through Paris in protest at the two previous fires - which killed many African immigrants.

The protesters demanded better housing.

The French authorities have been criticised for housing poor immigrants in inadequate accommodation

The march began at the site of the first fire in Paris' 13th district, in which 14 children and three adults died on 26 August.

Seven people died in a similar blaze in a dilapidated building four days later.

Sunday's fire was the fourth in less than five months in the Paris area.

In April, 21 died when a fire destroyed a budget hotel in the centre of the city.
