14:07Now PlayingSeveral dozen people are presumed to have died and more than 100 injured following a fire in a ski resort in southern Switzerland, officials have said.
Police said several nationalities were likely involved in the New Year's Day fire, which happened at 01:30 local time (00:30 GMT) in a bar called Le Constellation in the resort of Crans-Montana.
Ten helicopters, 40 ambulances and 150 emergency workers were sent to the scene.
Work is ongoing to identify the victims and return bodies to families as quickly as possible, the region's chief-prosecutor Beatrice Pilloud said.
It is being treated as a fire and there is "no question" of an attack, the region's chief prosecutor said.
