Three dead' in pub crash
At least three people have died after a police helicopter crashed into a busy pub in Glasgow, the BBC has been told.
A source close to the investigation said the final number of fatalities would almost certainly be higher.
The crash happened at The Clutha in Stockwell Street at 22:25 on Friday. People are still thought to be trapped.
There were three people on board the helicopter - two officers and a civilian pilot. Thirty-two people have been taken to local hospitals.
A senior fire officer said they had made contact with some people trapped inside the pub but the building was unsafe and they were taking a "methodical" approach to the rescue.
The emergency services could be seen on the pub's roof trying to rescue people from inside.
It has been reported that about 120 people were in the pub at the time of the crash. Many were rescued or escaped but others have been trapped by a collapse on the left-hand side of the building.
