Around 40 people have been killed and 115 injured in a Swiss bar fire on New Year's Eve.

Police say sixty people are receiving care at Sion hospital with more being treated elsewhere - a "significant number" are in a critical condition.

Swiss President Guy Parmelin says the fire is one of the worst tragedies that their country has experienced.

Some witnesses think "birthday candles" on top of a champagne bottle set fire to the ceiling - when asked by reporters the attorney general says she cannot confirm the cause.
