Swiss Bar Hit by Deadly New Year's Fire Had No Safety Checks in Five Years A devastating fire at a Swiss bar on New Year's Eve has claimed 40 lives, with over 100 people injured. The Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana had not undergone safety inspections since 2019, despite annual checks being mandatory.

Lecce head coach Marco Giampaolo has confirmed that Patrick Dorgu will fly to England on Saturday to complete a move to Manchester United, with the Denmark international set to become Ruben Amorim's first signing as Red Devils head coach.
The 20-year-old has been a key player for Lecce this season, making 23 appearances in all competitions, including 21 outings in Serie A, but he was an unused substitute against Parma in Serie A on Friday night.
Lecce head coach confirms Dorgu is heading for Man United The defender appeared to wave goodbye to the Lecce supporters following their clash with Parma, and he is set to make the move to Man United in a deal worth €30m (£25.1m) plus €5m (£4.2m) in add-ons.
Dorgu will leave Lecce having made 57 appearances for the Italian outfit, scoring five times and registering two assists in the process, and he will battle for the starting role down the left.
The left-back will not be involved in Man United's Premier League clash with Palace on Sunday afternoon, but he could feature in their FA Cup fourth-round clash with Leicester City on February 7.
