Good afternoon everybody

A major fire broke out in a skyscraper in the central Chinese city of Changsha, state media reported on Friday (Sep 16), adding that the number of casualties was "currently unknown".

"Thick smoke is spewing from the site, and several dozen floors are burning ferociously," state broadcaster CCTV reported.
"Firefighters have begun work to extinguish the flames and conduct rescues at the scene," it added.
Dozens of storeys of the more than 200-metre tall (656-foot) China Telecom (0728.HK) building "burned with great intensity", sending thick smoke into the sky, state broadcaster CCTV said.
A photograph released by CCTV showed orange flames searing through the building in a built-up area of the city, as black smoke billowed into the sky.
A video posted on social media by a local news outlet appeared to show the outside of the tower had been charred black.
