Firefighters in Southern Germany say 14 people have died in a blaze at a workshop for disabled people. At least six others were injured in the fire in the Black Forest town of Titisee-Neustadt. Stephen Evans reports from Berlin.
The fire happened in a workshop run by the Catholic charity Caritas for people with mental and physical disabilities. Smoke was spotted on the roof of the two-story building early in the afternoon. Some people were trapped and attempts were made by firefighters in breathing apparatus to rescue them. It seems the fire may have started in a store room.
The Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina has told parliament that the garment factory fire on Saturday in which more than 100 people were killed was not an accident but preplanned. She said CCTV footage of a different factory taken on Sunday night showed a woman deliberately starting a fire. Earlier, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of the capital Dhaka demanding justice.

Syrian rebels say they captured a hydroelectric dam on the Euphrates river in the north of the country. A BBC correspondent says that if confirmed, the seizure of the Tishrin dam would add to the growing encirclement of Aleppo, Syria's commercial capital. The city is already half under rebel control. Earlier, Syrian opposition activists said a government jet dropped a cluster bomb on the rebel held village near Damascus, killing ten children.
