North Korea expresses 'profound consolations regret' to families of victims of a building collapse in Pyongyang.

An apartment building under construction in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang has collapsed, sparking fears hundreds of people may have been killed.

North Korean officials have offered a rare public apology for the collapse, which a South Korean official said was believed to have caused considerable casualties.

The word of the collapse in the secretive nation's capital was reported on Sunday morning (local time) by the North's official Korean Central News Agency, which gave no death toll but said that the accident was "serious" and upset North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un.

The report said it occurred in the capital's Phyongchon district on Tuesday "as the construction of an apartment house was not done properly and officials supervised and controlled it in an irresponsible manner."

In Seoul, a South Korean government official speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information said the 23-storey apartment building that collapsed was presumed to have housed 92 families.

That could mean the casualties could be in the hundreds because a typical North Korean family has four members. However, it was not clear whether all the residents were inside at the time of the collapse, or that four people lived in each apartment.

It is not unusual for people to start living in apartments before the construction is complete.

The official said he did not have any figure for the actual death toll.

According to the KCNA report, the rescue operation ended on Saturday and officials apologised to bereaved families and district residents.

Two weeks after a controversially complicated debate doomed the arrival of food trucks in London, city council avoided a similar quagmire Tuesday.

With summer weather nearly here, politicians voted 12-0 to allow acoustic music on bar patios across the city, though it looked for a few moments like the proposal may have been derailed, or at least delayed.

Clearly skittish from the public backlash to the recent food-truck rejection, one councillor urged her colleagues to OK the patio plan.

I dont want to become another story in The Free Press, Coun. Sandy White said.

Councils unanimous vote lifts the ban on non-amplified acoustic music on bar/restaurant patios for this summer. Its a pilot project that will be reviewed next year for any problems.

Coun. Joni Baechler already foresees one, involving residents whose homes abut the patios that may now have live music.

A patio, she said, tends to get a little bit louder as people imbibe a little bit more. Baechler sought to have patios adjacent to homes removed from the pilot project, meaning theyd still be banned from offering acoustic music.

That change, though, likely would have required sending the entire matter back for more public input, which would have slowed the plans rollout at least two more weeks. Several politicians opposed any such delay.

This is patio season now, Coun. Denise Brown said. Lets not be a stuffy city and lets enjoy our summer.

Coun. Paul Hubert noted its a pilot project, so any major issues including a conflict between neighbouring homes and bar patios can be addressed before next summer.

It isnt just the Grand Prix organisers who have to deal with the unique logistical demands of Monaco - the F1 teams also have more than a few challenges in preparing for competing on the Monte Carlo streets. In the second instalment of our two-part feature, Force Indias race team coordinator Franco Massaro describes the demands and complexities of going racing in the Principality

Q: What are the logistical challenges of Monaco for the teams? A: Monaco stands out first and foremost because of its location really - it is not that accessible for all the trucks that arrive in the build up to a Formula One event. It is a small place, which perhaps you realise best when you go there. So in order to get everything there and set up it has to be very well coordinated.

Q: And who is responsible for that? Do teams make arrangements between themselves? A: The organisers do their best to try and coordinate all the different areas they have, and to allocate vehicle parking space. But ultimately it comes down to everybody from all the different teams, TV crews, hospitality and everyone else adhering to a collective plan and not working on their own agenda. It goes to a plan of sorts, but it is difficult compared to most circuits where you drive in and there is plenty of parking space for everybody.

Q: How has it changed over the years? A: Ten years ago there was even less space, so it has improved - but it hasnt altered too much from year to year because it cant really expand that much. Historically the organisers set the guidelines, with the traffic regulations, whether certain streets are closed so we have some extra parking space - for example by the swimming pool. They coordinate all of that, working with the local police as well. Occasionally youll get someone who ignores the instructions, and it doesnt take much to suddenly scupper proceedings. It doesnt tend to happen when you are setting up: that is normally pretty well organised and stuck to. Packing up can be more complicated - you have to do it in stages, as you cant have everyone arrive at the same time. Last year, for example, security didnt get an instruction of when trucks were allowed down, so we were just waiting there for an hour. It can be frustrating, but at the same time there is simply no other venue that has the atmosphere of Monaco - at least once you are set up and working.

Q: And how does it compare to other venues, especially the more modern additions to the calendar? A: On a logistical side it is not one I look forward to particularly, because it is a lot more work for everybody, and a lot more challenging. We dont send as many vehicles there for example. We have to swap loads about to try and make it easier for ourselves - we normally take five trucks to an event, plus an additional one that DHL take for us, but for Monaco we send two back to the UK and have another one that we then load those two into, to try and make it easier and have fewer vehicles. Once you are set up and get to the end of Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday morning, it is then like any other event, but with a lot more atmosphere about it. You have the public very close, a lot of parties at night in the quay, so the atmosphere is very different.

Q: How do you cope with having to split locations, and having personnel both in the garage and the paddock? A: At a normal circuit you have the garages, and immediately behind them your support vehicles which function as an extension of the garage. In Monaco there just isnt the space. There are no trucks behind the garages there, so the garages are two storeys as opposed to one everywhere else. It is very tight working in there, but people have to work around it. We are allowed one truck down on the harbour. Teams take different approaches as to what truck is down there and what uses it has - ours is for bulkier spares. The other support vehicles we would normally have are scattered around Monaco in various parking locations, some up to 15 kilometres away, so they arent really accessible during the weekend - there is only one vehicle we can use for the race. On Saturday night GP2 move out so we can bring a few more trucks down, just so they are closer when we pack down on Sunday night. So even on Saturday, when people are out enjoying themselves, we have a crew that have to move trucks around - and you cant start until midnight. We try and take it in turns so it doesnt spoil everyones night every year.

Q: So how early do you send set-up crews out? A: We have an early set-up crew going out, two people, who leave on Thursday morning the week before the race. They will get there on Friday night with a small support vehicle and will start work on Saturday in advance of our main race set-up crew, who arrive on Sunday night in order to start Monday. We get a little bit done beforehand, because otherwise you lose space and time to other people. Over the years it has started earlier and earlier. Traditionally we would start set-up work on a Tuesday morning at any other venue, but at Monaco we start on Saturday.

Q: How many Monaco Grands Prix have you worked? A: This will be my 11th. I enjoy all of them, at least once the logistical side is complete. From Wednesday afternoon it tends to be enjoyable, and then the chequered flag drops on Sunday afternoon and the work starts all over again.

Q: Overall is it more a pleasure or a headache? A: Overall, even though there are headaches, of course it is a pleasure to be there because it is just so different to everywhere else; you dont get another Grand Prix like it. You have to take the good with the bad. Once the nightmare side of it is done, there is nothing else that compares to racing in Monaco.
