Fires burn through Shanghai chemical plant
Fires at a large chemical plant in the Chinese city of Shanghai have killed at least one person.
They broke out around 04:00 on Saturday (20:00 GMT Friday) at one of the country's largest refining and petrochemical plants.
Flames could be seen engulfing parts of the sprawling complex and spewing thick columns of black smoke into the sky.

The cause of the fires, which affected an ethylene glycol facility, is still unclear.
