A man in his 50's has died in a fire in a high`rise block

His apartment was on the seventh floor.

The ferocity of the flames captured by an onlooker.

For those inside the 13`storey block of flats, a terrifying orde`l.

I was scared. You know, I was petrified.

Very, very scared because nobody knows what, how or who.

I looked out my balcony and his flat was ablaze.

And luckily there was a young man running around,

there would have been even more fatalities.

Eight fire engines, more th`n 4 firefighters, but it still took

We've managed to contain the fire within the flat of origin.

Because of the nature of the fire being on upper floors,

it's always difficult to get equipment and firefighters tp there

so these are difficult fires to be able to deal with.

Sadly, paramedics couldn't save the man inside the flat.

although people are already paying tribute.

He knew my mum and dad and dvery time I saw him, he'd say hi to

People living here are coming to terms with what's happened

but it could be some time before they can go home.

This is the image that's bedn around the world today `

the moment the Raffle familx from Amesbury met the President

The meeting only happened bdcause the family acted on a rumour.

To football now, and Bristol City moved

into second place in League One after a 2`0 win against Scunthorpe.

We were sat in the garden and noticed helicopters overhead. Our

son was not wearing any clothing of the time. Thankfully we had his

nursery bike and managed to get some shorts on him. I grabbed my eldest

boy and put him on my shoulders Every time the armed guards looked

our way or check their watches, we started to veer towards the

president. And as they got poser and closer, all that took was a friendly

wave. We said, welcome to England, Mr President. I was quite pleased

with that. He said this is `mazing. He was overawed by the placd. He was

amazing and I shook hands whth him and... And he gave you a high five,

didn't he? Ring back yet, a high five. Of all the stories told at

school, that will be the ond that wins. It's one in a million. One in

a lifetime, really, of seeing someone who is probably the most

powerful person in the world. And he's a really cool guy, really

friendly. Yeah, really soft hands. Yeah, he works in an office. What an

incredible meeting. To football now,

and Bristol City moved into second place in League One

after a 2`0 win against Scunthorpe. Yeovil also moved up the table,

beating Bradford 3`1. In League Two it was 0`0 between

Morecombe and Cheltenham Town. And a disappointing day in

the Conference, with Bristol Rovers losing 2` 0 at Braintree, and Forest

Green being defeated 1`0 by Wrexham. A flawless kicking display

from George Ford led Bath to victory over Sale at the start

of the Premiership season. And last night Gloucester

opened their season with a loss The Cherry and Whites startdd

off well with a penalty But the final score Northampton 53,

Gloucester 6. A bit of a damp start to thd day,

but it has brightened up. Here's Bea Tucker with the rest

of the weekend forecast. Good evening. We finally saw some

sunny spells through the late part of the afternoon and I think we re

in for a fairly quiet picture Perhaps one or two showers darly on

in the evening and then a l`rgely dry night to come. There will be a

lot of cloud about tonight `nd as a result it will stay fairly lild

Most places should stay in double figures. I

think if we do get any breaks in the

clouds we might see a touch of mist forming, but on the whole, ` fairly

quiet picture. There will bd lows of around 13 Celsius. A fairly cloudy

start to the day tomorrow, `ny brightness will started to `ppear

further north. Northern parts, we will see the best of the sunny

spells. Further south will hold onto a little bit more in the wax of

cloud. A touch fresher temperature`wise, with highs of

anywhere between 18 Celsius and 19 settled weather as we go into next

week. Sunny spells and tempdratures where they should be for thhs time

of year. Have a lovely evenhng. And that's all from

the team for now. But for now, whatever you are doing,

have a lovely evening. Good evening. It was a mixed bag to

start the weekend. The satellite sequence shows cloud across northern

Scotland in the centre of an area of low pressure and associated weather

fronts drifting east across England and Wales with sunshine following

behind with showers. The showers should be gone by the small hours of

the morning. Clear skies follow behind, so temperatures will dip

into single figures and maybe a few patches of fog to go with that. In

the North of Scotland it is pretty wet in the overnight period and into

the morning. The North of Scotland will be a
