Earlier on Sunday evening, the rescue service stated that eight people were missing after the house collapse.

Twitter feud between Musk and the BBC
Twitter CEO Elon Musk and the BBC have found themselves at each other’s throats.
It’s all about Twitter labeling the British public service company as “government-funded media”.
The BBC writes in a statement to CNN that they are discussing with Twitter to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
“The BBC is, and always has been, independent. We are funded by the British public through the license fee,” they write.
Twitter has previously used the label “state-affiliated” media about news sources such as Russia Today and China’s Xinhua – both of which are tightly controlled by the state.
This week, the US public service company NPR was branded with the same label. It sent the company into a frenzy, whereupon Twitter changed the label to “government-funded”.
They have not answered how Twitter defines that term.

The survivors are men, women and children from Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Mali.
The dead were two men.
A total of around 40 migrants were on the boat when it sank during the night between Saturday and Sunday. They had been in the water for two hours before the rescue boat arrived.
Big step towards cancer vaccine thanks to the pandemic
Groundbreaking progress has been made in vaccine research for diseases such as cancer, tumors and autoimmune diseases thanks to knowledge gained during the pandemic.
This is stated by several pharmaceutical companies for The Guardian.
According to several pharmaceutical companies, several new vaccines could be in place within just ten years. This is reported by TT.
Some researchers have stated that upwards of 15 years of research was earned in just 12–18 months during the intense pandemic years.
The pharmaceutical company Pfizer says it has gained many important experiences and has been able to streamline its vaccine research after the pandemic.
In a statement it is written:
“The lessons learned from the covid-19 vaccine development have given us broader information about our overall approach to mRNA research and development, and how Pfizer conducts research and development more broadly. We gained a decade of scientific knowledge in just one year”.

A four-story building in the southern French city of Marseille collapsed early this morning after a suspected explosion.
A fire broke out after the landslide, which has complicated the search for people. As of Sunday afternoon, more than 100 firefighters were still battling the flames.
Eight people are missing and are feared to be trapped under the rubble, reports say The Guardian.
– Not all those who should have been in the house…have been looked after. Families are worried, says France’s housing minister to Franceinfo.
Five people in neighboring buildings were injured in the landslide. A further 33 were taken care of by paramedics.
