French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy pointed to overcrowding as a reason for the high death toll of that blaze and ordered an inventory of dangerous and overcrowded buildings.. German prosecutors are stepping up the hunt for a notorious former Nazi concentration camp doctor regarded as one of Second World War’s most sadistic criminals after unearthing bank documents that suggest he is still alive. Dr Aribert Heim, who was born in Austria, murdered hundreds of Jewish prisoners at the Mauthausen concentration camp by subjecting them to gratuitous and brutal medical experiments during the seven weeks that he spent there in 1941.
Heim ranks alongside the Auschwitz doctor, Josef Mengele, as one of the most reviled Nazi war criminals. The fire was believed to have started on the second floor of the building The cause was not immediately known.

Pierre Aidenbaum, the district mayor, said a dozen families from the Ivory Coast lived in the building, where the conditions were known by authorities to be “absolutely inadmissible and dangerous.” The city government planned to renovate the building and bought it six months ago, Aidenbaum said, adding that he started the process of searching for a place to relocate the families a month ago. Some 11 people, including five firefighters, had light injuries. About 130 firefighters battled the blaze, which burned in a central district of Paris. The latest fire comes just days after a deadly blaze killed 17 Africans in the French capital.
Three other people had serious injuries in the fire, which started late yesterday and ripped through a six-story building in central Paris where Ivorian immigrants were living, firefighters said. Six people, including a six-year-old child, were killed when a fire broke out in a rundown Paris apartment building where African immigrants were living.

By late afternoon there had been only 81 arrests, most for minor matters.Sir Ian said that Europe’s biggest street festival was going “very well”.”The community has been very much behind the Metropolitan Police after the events of 7 and 21 July, and I think this is a very good example of that.”I am really sending out the same message to the terrorists as I have been all along, which is that London will endure and prevail and it will continue to endure and prevail.”A spokesman for the organisers said that on Sunday and yesterday about one million people had attended the event.Yesterday, in blistering temperatures, a procession of floats, steel bands and dancers in beautiful multi-coloured costumes made their way through the streets. The Notting Hill Carnival has sent a message to terrorists that London will “endure and prevail”, Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner has said.
