On the other hand, the police have also been investigating the incident since Friday (16/6), in order to seek the cause of the fire, in case if the fire was done on purpose.

That investigation could be concluded on the prosecution for the party that is responsible for defects of the structure or design of the building, which caused a fire.

The investigation will be collaborated with other investigation agencies, he added.

"I expect the number of victims does not reach a terrible point," he said.

The time to seek another victims could be estimated time for months.

The members of labour members in Parliament have asked an investigation over the absence of fire extinguisher system, as well as the issue of reserved cladding which surrounds the building.

A similar case also was questioned by a member of Parliament, Tottenham, while adding the responsible party should be charged with murder.

"This is one of the wealthiest regions in the United Kingdom. The citizens was treated arbitrarily. We have to mention it as a case of murder," he said.

The current investigation is focused on the building's facade which surrounding the cladding, as part of a renovation project. Observers said that the Government should prohibit the material used in building renovation project.

Cladding or pillar used were made of metal panels with plastic core, made the fire spread rapidly.

Nigerian army Claims the Second Rescue of Chibok Girl

A second schoolgirl that was seized in the Nigerian town of Chibok has been found, the army says. But a spokesman for the Chibok girls' parents has cast doubt on the claims, saying that the girl's name is not on the families' list of those missing. An army spokesman said Serah Luka was among a group of 97 women and children rescued by troops in the north-east. Islamist militant group Boko Haram has abducted thousands of other girls in recent years, rights groups estimate. This comes two days after the rescue of the first Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki. The army has previously given misleading statements about the rescue of the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after Ms Nkeki was found, it used a wrong name. In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. Ms Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but...

(JOSH EDELSON via Getty Images on Monday)   Trump has now won three straight state contests and appears to be barreling toward the Republican presidential nomination, while Cruz has only won one state, Iowa. Cruz's campaign had hoped to eke out a win in Nevada based on the strength of his political organization and ground game, which helped lead him to a similar victory in the Iowa caucus earlier this month. The caucus format relies on turning out voters who are engaged enough to spend several hours participating in the political process. By contrast, Trump has lagged behind Cruz and Rubio in his organizing efforts, and political observers expre...
