Seven killed in Indonesia building collapse

In Indonesia, at least seven children were killed today when the building they were in, collapsed.

The teenagers were practising for a dance and music show. The accident happened in Cirebon, about 220 kilometres east of Jakarta.

The wall of warehouse next door fell over and crushed the local art centre where the junior high school students were preparing for a show.

Police are investigating the cause of the collapse, but they said initial suspicion has fallen on the age of the art centre which had been operating since around the 1940s.
