Glasgow School of Art: Fire crews battle to save building

Chief Fire Officer Alasdair Hay: "We took a roll call and we are as confident as we can be that nobody has been injured in this fire"

Firefighters are continuing to fight a major blaze at the A-listed Glasgow School of Art - one of Scotland's most iconic buildings.

Eyewitnesses said the fire appeared to have started when a projector exploded in the basement of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh building just before 12:30.

Fire Officer Alasdair Hay said the main blaze was out but there were still pockets of fire within the building.

Everyone in the building was said to have escaped safely.

The Mackintosh building, completed in 1909, is "unique" in that it is a working art school as well as a work of art.

From the facade to the fixtures and fittings every detail shows the craft of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Scotland's most-lauded designer.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said fire crews had managed to salvage some of the objects contained in the building and structural engineers were assessing the safety and stability of the building.

Students described their "heartbreak" as they watched the iconic building go up in flames

Fire crews were on the scene within four minutes of the alarm being raised.

Search and rescue teams entered the building wearing breathing apparatus and led a number of people to safety. There were no reports of any casualties.

Final year students were said to have been preparing for their end-of-year degree show in the building when the blaze broke out. The deadline for submissions to the degree was 17:00.

SFRS Chief Officer Alasdair Hay said there had been "significant spread" of flames within the building but would not comment on speculation it did not have a sprinkler system installed.

Eyewitness Yusuf Masood took this video during the evacuation of the building at about 12:30.

He added that it was still too early to say how extensively the art school had been damaged, or what the cause of the blaze had been.

But he said officers were "well aware of the iconic status of the building".

Police have cordoned off Renfrew Street, and smoke was also drifting across the M8. Large crowds of students and onlookers gathered near the scene, with several people in tears as they watched the events unfold.

Fire appliances from across Glasgow were joined by specialist crews from other areas of Scotland, with firefighters seen pouring water on the building from a high ladder as flames blew windows out.

The crews are expected to be on site until well into the night as efforts to put out the last of the flames continued.

Everyone's work on that side of the building is ruined. Even if it didn't catch fire it will be damaged extensively”

Hugh Thornhill Student

Hugh Thornhill, a second year student, said: "I was helping one of the fourth years set up their exhibit and suddenly the alarm went off.

"We didn't think it was anything but we had to go out and then we saw smoke coming out and realised that it was really bad. It got to the point where flames were coming out of the top floor.

"All that effort is gone, everyone's work on that side of the building is ruined. Even if it didn't catch fire it will be damaged extensively.

"The degree show next month is pretty much a bust now, it's sad."

Broadcaster Muriel Gray, a former student and current chairwoman of the school, arrived and burst into tears when she saw the building in flames.

Ms Gray told BBC Scotland she was "heartbroken" to see the "most amazing building in Glasgow" go up in flames.

Speaking later, she added: "It has been a devastating day for everybody involved in Glasgow School of Art. We want to make it clear we are so grateful to the fire service. It's a very black day."

Asked how the building could be restored, Ms Gray said: "We don't know what's been destroyed. It's a waiting game."

Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond said on Twitter: "Thoughts with staff & students at @GSofA - awful to see destruction of this iconic building and students work."

Austin Yuill, who works as a chef at the art school, told the BBC: "I've been moved two streets away from the Mackintosh building but before we left the place was completely ablaze all down the west side of the building.

"I'm told it started in the basement and it's worked its way all the way up through the five floors.

Archive: In April 2013 the BBC got a close-up look at the school's Rennie Mackintosh clocks, which took a year to restore to their former glory

"As far as I know it started from a spark which has gone on to foam, expanding foam."

Asked how busy the art school was, he said: "It would be very busy because we're working up to the end-of-year assessments, so all the students were installing their work today all over the Mackintosh building. There are a lot of very upset students here."

He added: "Quite apart from it being voted the best building of the last 175 years, it is a major tourist draw and has an incredible reputation as an art school. This is really terrible."

Mackintosh was a 28-year-old junior draughtsman when he drew up plans for the building

Charles Rennie Mackintosh is lauded as Scotland's most influential architect and designer, with the art school building which bears his name considered by many to be his greatest masterpiece.

Mackintosh was a 28-year-old junior draughtsman at a Glasgow architecture firm when he drew up the designs for the building, which features distinctive heavy sandstone walls and large windows.

The dramatic art nouveau design took about 12 years to be completed, opening in 1909, but it signalled the birth of a new style in 20th Century European architecture.

The president of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, Iain Connelly, said the value of the building "goes well beyond Glasgow or even Scotland".

He added: "It is a work of architectural heritage of world renown and its influence on 20th century architecture is immeasurable. Scotland has seen the loss of an international treasure which reflects the genius of one of our greatest ever architects."

In recent years, Glasgow School of Art has produced many of the UK's leading contemporary artists such as Douglas Gordon and David Shrigley and three recent Turner Prize winners: Simon Starling in 2005, Richard Wright in 2009 and Martin Boyce in 2011.

Other former students include actors Robbie Coltrane and Peter Capaldi and artist Peter Howson.

Thailand's coup leaders detain former PM Yingluck

The BBC's Jonah Fisher watched as the army arrived at an anti-coup protest

Thailand's ex-PM Yingluck Shinawatra and a number of family members and politicians have been detained, as leaders of Thursday's military coup tightened their grip on power.

Ms Yingluck and scores of politicians from the deposed government had earlier been ordered to report to the military.

She was kept for several hours and then driven to an undisclosed location.

Army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha also met key officials, telling them reform must come before any elections.

Gen Prayuth summoned governors, business leaders and civil servants to the Bangkok Army Club on Friday.

Analysis from the BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok

After seven months the tents, stages and all the paraphernalia of protest are coming down in Bangkok's old quarter. With their goal of a military coup achieved, the weary anti-government movement can declare victory and go home. Armed soldiers now patrol their rally sites, next to the monument that commemorates the birth of Thai democracy 82 years ago.

That democracy is now in ruins. When the army mounted a coup eight years ago it did so almost apologetically and promised a speedy return to democratic rule. This coup wears a grimmer face, and there have been no such promises. Instead, land border crossings are being scrutinised to prevent potential resistance leaders escaping. Those the military fears most have been ordered to give themselves up or face arrest. Dozens are being held incommunicado.

No one knows yet what General Prayuth's real intentions are. He has good reason to worry about resistance. The pro-government Red-Shirt movement is far better organised than eight years ago, and could still be financed by former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's deep pockets.

Six of Thailand's most senior military officers have now been appointed to run the country, with provincial commanders supervising local government.

The BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok says that, unlike in previous coups, there have been no promises of a quick return to civilian rule.

Thai troops were deployed at key intersections in Bangkok on the second night of curfew

There have been some small-scale but angry protests

Gen Prayuth told the meeting: "I want all civil servants to help organise the country. We must have economic, social and political reforms before elections. If the situation is peaceful, we are ready to return power to the people."

The general said the coup was necessary to "quickly bring the situation back to normal".

One local official leaving the meeting, Arkom Theerasak, told Associated Press: "There will be an election but it will take a while. The general didn't say when."

Ms Yingluck, who had been prime minister until being removed by the judiciary this month, had been ordered to report to the military along with more than 100 other politicians, including acting PM Niwatthamrong Boonsongphaisan.

Passions also ran high at a former pro-government protest site on the outskirts of the capital

It was unclear whether Gen Prayuth met either of them.

Some 155 politicians have been barred from leaving the country.

Our correspondent says it is unclear how many people have been detained but they have been separated and held incommunicado at different bases.

Reuters quoted a military officer as saying Ms Yingluck, her sister and brother-in-law had been held.

Thai military spokesman Col Werachon Sukhondhadhpatipak told the BBC those detained were all involved in Thailand's political "conflict" and he stressed the army was neutral and impartial in those that it had held.

Col Werachon told the BBC why the army had detained political leaders

Col Werachon said the detentions should be not be longer than a week and were intended to keep the detainees away from "tension".

Our correspondent says there were some small and angry protests in Bangkok against the coup earlier on Friday but, although a few people were detained, there has been no serious resistance.

On Thursday the military suspended the constitution and banned political gatherings, saying order was needed after months of turmoil.

The US led widespread international criticism of the coup, saying there was "no justification".

Key coup conditions

• Curfew nationwide from 22:00 to 05:00
• Gen Prayuth to head ruling National Peace and Order Maintaining Council
• Senate and courts to continue operating
• 2007 constitution suspended except for chapter on monarchy
• Political gatherings of more than five people banned, with penalties of up to a one-year jail term, 10,000 baht ($300; £180) fine, or both
• Social media platforms could be blocked if they carry material with provocative content
• Media warned not to carry criticism of army operations

Press fearful after Thai coup

Thailand's armed forces have staged at least 12 coups since the end of the absolute monarchy in 1932.

There has been a power struggle since Ms Yingluck's brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, was ousted by the military as PM in 2006.

Mr Thaksin and Ms Yingluck have strong support in rural areas but are opposed by many in the middle class and urban elite.

The latest unrest began last year, when anti-government protesters embarked on a campaign to oust Ms Yingluck. An election was held in February but was disrupted and later annulled by the judiciary.

Atletico Madrid's title-winning players celebrate by throwing coach Diego Simeone into the air

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone hails title win over Barca Beating Barcelona and Real Madrid to the Spanish title is one of the greatest days in Atletico Madrid's history, says head coach Diego Simeone. Atletico drew 1-1 at nearest rihttp://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/74931000/jpg/_74931286_0ff12d92-cf80-459a-9c26-b293c723f3c8.jpg vals Barca to earn the point they needed to become La Liga champions for the first time since 1996. La Decima Atletico Madrid have won their 10th Spanish La Liga title, the third highest tally after Real Madrid (32) and Barcelona (22) Their success ended Barca and Real's 10-year stranglehold on the title. "Today will be one of the most important days in the history of the club," said Simeone, 44. Atletico became the first club other than Real or Barca to win La Liga since Rafael Benitez's Valencia in the 2003-2004 season. Simeone's men led the table from the end of March and, although they faltered slightly near the end with a defeat at Levante and a home draw against Malaga, they knew a point would suffice in their final-day fixture at Barca's Nou Camp. Uruguay centre-back Diego Godin's thumping second-half header clinched their 10th La Liga title and Simeone said afterwards he never doubted that his side would fight back to earn a draw. "I never thought for a moment the team would not do it," he said. Final La Liga table "They always have a response. The bigger the challenge is, the more determined they are to achieve it. "To become champions against Barcelona is a great feeling." Barcelona would have won the title if they had beaten Atletico and led through Alexis Sanchez's thunderous first-half strike. But the visitors improved after the break, despite already losing top scorer Diego Costa and creative midfielder Arda Turan through injury, and deservedly levelled when Godin powerfully headed in from Gabi's corner. "We were calm at half-time as the team had started well although the injuries to Diego and Arda were a problem," added ex-Argentina midfielder Simeone, who was a player for Atletico when they last won La Liga. Atletico Madrid were given a standing ovation by the Barcelona fans after being crowned Spanish champions at the Nou Camp Atletico Madrid were given a standing ovation by the Barcelona fans after being crowned Spanish champions at the Nou Camp "From there though we continued to be competitive and fight for each ball which is what I asked for. We looked comfortable." Simeone also dedicated the success to former Spain coach Luis Aragones, who was a major figure at Atletico after representing them as a player and manager and died aged 75 in February. "I have been thinking of Luis and I am sure that he was out there helping us defend in the area in the second half," said Simeone. Now Simeone and his team turn their attention to Saturday's Champions League final in Lisbon, where they can record a remarkable double by beating neighbours Real Madrid.

Ukraine 'edging towards chaos', UN's Simonovic says

Ivan Simonovic: "What I am really afraid [of] is that [that] country is reaching the point of no return if there is no adequate or urgent action taken"

Ukraine is edging towards "the point of no return", a senior UN official says, amid rising tensions between security forces and pro-Russia separatists.

UN Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic told the BBC that the crisis had worrying echoes of the 1990s war in his native Croatia.
Reports from eastern Ukraine say clashes between government forces and separatist militants have continued.
The separatists have not taken part in EU-brokered talks to defuse the crisis.
On Saturday, they appointed a prime minister for what they call the People's Republic of Donetsk.
The man, Alexandr Borodai, said the self-proclaimed entity would apply to join Russia.
The separatists have taken control of government buildings across cities in south-eastern and southern Ukraine.

Ivan Simonovic UN Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights

Violence between the two sides has left dozens of people dead in recent weeks.

A new Ukrainian president is due to be elected on 25 May.
Mr Simonovic told the BBC: "What I'm really afraid is that country is approaching to a point of no return if there is no adequate and urgent action taken."
The UN says it has documented countless incidents of abduction, torture and murder in south and eastern Ukraine.

Pro-Russian separatists control swathes of eastern and southern Ukraine

Deadlock Although abuses have been committed on both sides, Mr Simonovic said, the majority were by the separatists.
He added that he hoped the planned presidential election could take place, but that it would be "extremely difficult".
"I firmly believe that there is a window of opportunity that should be used," he said, but added that it was closing.
The separatists have held referendums in the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, and claimed to have won overwhelming popular backing. Both the Ukrainian government in Kiev and Western countries regard the votes as illegitimate.

Pro-Kiev forces have launched an offensive to against the separatists

The BBC's Mark Lowen in Donetsk says both sides in the conflict are digging in.
The Ukrainian government refuses to talk to armed separatists and the self-proclaimed authorities say they will hold a dialogue until Kiev ends its "occupation" of the east.
The revolt in the east gained momentum after Russia annexed Ukraine's mainly ethnic Russian region of Crimea in March.
Moscow acted after the overthrow of Ukraine's elected pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych during unrest in the capital Kiev in February.

Sajid Javid: Immigrants must learn English

Sajid Javid said people were right to want more control over Britain's borders

Migrants to the UK must learn English and "respect our way of life", Sajid Javid - the UK's first Asian secretary of state - has said in an interview.

The Culture Secretary told the Sunday Telegraph that voters had legitimate fears over "excessive" immigration.
Mr Javid, elected Conservative MP for Bromsgrove in 2010, criticised migrants who had lived in Britain for many years but still could not speak the language.
He also said there was no place for Sharia law in the English legal system.
'Laws and culture' Mr Javid, the son of Pakistani immigrants, said: "People want Britain to have more control over its borders, and I think they are right.
"People also say, when immigrants do come to Britain, that they should come to work, and make a contribution and that they should also respect our way of life, and I agree with all of that. It means things like trying to learn English."
He added: "I know people myself, I have met people who have been in Britain for over 50 years and they still can't speak English.
"I think it's perfectly reasonable for British people to say 'look, if you're going to settle in Britain and make it your home you should learn the language of the country and you should respect its laws and its culture'."
Mr Javid spoke amid reports that Sharia courts have been established in cities such as London, Birmingham, Bradford and Manchester.
He said: "Where people want to have their own private arrangements between them, that is a matter for them. But there is no place for Sharia law in British law."
Mr Javid also expressed concern about allegations of a plot by Muslim radicals to "Islamise" state schools in Birmingham.
He went on to say that the "vast majority" of immigrants wanted to integrate with the rest of society in the UK.
'Not new' Mr Javid is the first Asian male in the cabinet, after Baroness Warsi became the first Muslim female in her role as co-chairman of the Conservative Party.
Labour MP Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said Mr Javid's comments did not represent anything new.
Mr Vaz told BBC Radio 5 live: "It was a Labour government that introduced an English language test for those who wanted to get indefinite leave to enter the country.
"This is not new; it's just interesting because it's been said by the first Asian cabinet minister. Politicians have been saying this of all parties.
"Of course we want people to learn English, of course we want people who come into this country to respect our values. We're not suggesting otherwise."
Mr Javid's interview came a day after the Daily Mail reported that immigrants who could not speak English had been able to buy documents saying they had passed a language test.

Bank chief Mark Carney warns over housing market

Bank of England chief Mark Carney says the housing market has the potential wreck the recovery

The governor of the Bank of England has given his strongest warning yet about the dangers to Britain's economy posed by the booming housing market.

Mark Carney says the market represents the "biggest risk" to financial stability and the long-term recovery.
He adds that there are deep structural problems which need to be addressed.
In an interview to be shown later on the Murnaghan show on Sky News, he says the housing market has the potential to threaten the long-term recovery.
He says the Bank of England is "closely watching" rising property prices and the subsequent increase in large-value mortgages, which he warned could lead to a "debt overhang" which could destabilise the economy.

Mr Carney will say: "When we look at domestic risk, the biggest risk to financial stability and therefore to the durability of the expansion [of the economy] those risks centre in the housing market."

Mr Carney says the fundamental problem was a shortage of homes - and the Bank of England had no solution to that.
Instead, he says it will ensure banks have enough capital to withstand the risks of lending, and check lending procedures to ensure mortgages were given only to those who could afford them.
He will say in the interview: "There are not sufficient houses built in the UK. To go back to Canada, there are half as many people in Canada as in the UK, twice as many houses are built every year in Canada as in the UK and we can't influence that.
"What we can influence is whether the banks are strong enough. Do they have enough capital against risks in the housing market, whether underwriting standards are tough enough so that people can get mortgages if they can afford them?
"And by reinforcing both of those we can reduce the risks that come from a housing market that has deep, deep structural problems."
'Broken market'

It's a balance that Mark Carney's got to walk and that's why he says it's such a big threat”

David Blanchflower Ex-Monetary Policy Committee member

BBC political correspondent Alex Forsyth said the governor's voice added to a chorus of concern.

Sir Jon Cunliffe, one of the Bank of England's deputy governors, previously said it would be "dangerous to ignore the momentum that has built up in the housing market".
David Blanchflower, a former member of the Bank's rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee, agreed the boom was "a threat to stability".
"The Bank is going to have to step in because, ultimately, if the house prices don't slow they're going to have to raise rates and that would be very harmful," he told BBC Radio 5 live's Sunday Breakfast.
"It will increase the value of the pound, it'll reduce dividends, it will raise unemployment and it'll kill the house price off and put people into negative equity so that's really a big concern.
"It's a balance that Mark Carney's got to walk and that's why he says it's such a big threat."
