Not so ritzy now

Just one month before it was due to re-open after a 200 million refurbishment the top Parisian hotel the Ritz has suffered a serious fire. Pompiers say the fire has ravaged the top floor and threatens the roof. There were no occupants and there are no injuries. The hotel is owned by Mohamed al-Fayed and amongst others has famously entertained Princess Diana and Dodi al-Fayed.
