TRANSCRIPT
Hello, I'm Daniel Lovanescu with the BBC news.
Japanese officials say more than twenty people have been killed in a suspected arson attack on an animation studio in Kyoto. Nearly forty people are said to have been injured. The fire broke out during the morning in the three-story building housing the Kyoto animation company. Our Tokyo correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes has been monitoring police statements.
They say they have a forty-one-year-old man in custody. Although he is in hospital, he is under police guard. He was injured in the fire. Now what the police are saying is he was seen going into the building with some sort of flammable liquid, maybe petrol and that he sprayed it around the base of the building or the bottom floor of the building shortly before the fire broke out. So they are saying he is a suspected as having set fire to this building.
