We start today with more on the deadliest fire in New York City in decades, the latest on tennis star Novak Djokovic's Australian visa saga and the sudden death of actor and comedian Bob Saget.
Here's what we're watching this Monday morning. 
New York City Fire Commissioner Dan Nigro said a malfunctioning electric space heater caused the Bronx apartment fire that killed 19 people, including nine children, and injured dozens of others Sunday morning.
The late-morning fire quickly expanded because a door in the two-level second-floor unit where the blaze started was either left open or did not automatically close after residents fled, he said.
The blaze grew to five alarms and sent at least 30 survivors to the hospital, many suffering from smoke inhalation.
Officials said many of the residents of the high-rise residential building were immigrants from the west African nation of Gambia.
The city's new mayor, Eric Adams, said Sunday that the fire was a "horrific, horrific, painful moment for the City of New York." He added that it was "one of the worst fires we have witnessed here in modern times in the city of New York." Monday's Top Stories
