Three children are believed to be the victims of a house fire in Hounslow which has killed five people and left one other missing.

One man was also taken to hospital following the blaze in Channel Close late last night.

The ground floor and first floors of a mid-terraced house were destroyed by fire and part of the roof was also damaged by the blaze.

Met Police Chief Superintendent Sean Wilson says nothing is being ruled out at this moment in time.

Deputy Commissioner Jonathan Smith of the London Fire Brigade has this update.
