NEWSWATCH Woman, child die in bakery blaze

– A woman and a child were killed in a fire in the eastern city of Lyon believed to have been sparked by a gas blast in a bakery, authorities said.

The fire comes days after 10 people were killed in a blaze at a Paris apartment building and a month after a massive gas explosion in the centre of the capital that left four dead in a building that also housed a bakery.

The fire broke out on Saturday night after the blast on the ground floor. – AFP
