Russian shopping mall exits reportedly blocked before fire

Investigators looking into a fire that killed at least 64 people at a busy shopping mall in Siberia say a security guard had turned off the public address system and exits had been illegally blocked. The fire, one of the deadliest in Russia since the break-up of the Soviet Union, swept through the upper floors of the Winter Cherry shopping centre in the city of Kemerovo, where a cinema complex and children's play area were located, on Sunday afternoon.
