Major fire at South African parliament in Cape Town
A large fire has severely damaged the Houses of Parliament in the South African city of Cape Town.
Video footage showed a plume of black smoke filling the sky, with huge flames coming out from the roof of the building.
President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the scene and called it a "terrible and devastating event".
A 51-year-old man was being held and questioned by the authorities, police said.
The blaze, which began shortly after 06:00 local time (04:00 GMT), came the day after Archbishop Desmond Tutu's state funeral at St George's Cathedral, near parliament.
Mr Ramaphosa said news of the fire was a "terrible setback to what we were basking in yesterday" and added that Archbishop Tutu would also have been devastated.
