A fire at a shopping mall in the Qatari capital Doha has killed at least 19 people. It's believed the fire started at a nursery. Caroline Hawley reports.

卡塔尔首都多哈一家商场发生火灾，至少19人丧生。据悉这场大火起于一家托儿所，卡罗琳·霍利报道。

Official say the fire broke out at the Gympanzee nursery on the first floor of the vast shopping mall. Emergency services had to break through the roof to reach the children who'd been trapped when a staircase collapsed. But the firefighters were too late to save seven young girls and six boys who died with four of their teachers. Questions have been asked about safety procedures at the popular Italian-theme shopping mall, which builds itself as the largest family entertainment destination in Doha.

官方称，这场大火起于这座大型商场一层的Gympanzee托儿所。由于一台电梯倒塌，应急服务只得打破屋顶援救困在里面的孩子。但救生员行动太晚，无法救出7名女孩和6名男孩，他们和4名教师都丧生了。人们开始质疑这家意大利主题商场的安全程序，这家商场是多哈最大的家庭娱乐中心。

Some news just in. Fire has broken out at a campaign office in Cairo of the presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq. Television pictures showed a sizable blaze, but there's no indication so far of the cause. Details are still coming in. Mr Shafiq, the last prime minister under Hosni Mubarak, is one of the two men confirmed to fight a runoff election next month.
