night and to look inside the masonry the structure. to get a knowledge about both what the fire and water. did to the boche was to the columns to the vaults because it's not easy to judge only from outside what the structure of was affected the walls look as though they're ok with it fire and water the worst things for them of it's i think it's too early to be sure that nothing is going to collapse anymore so one has to be very cautious. that if. no more harm is done maybe two people maybe two helpers or two yeahs going to take tar anyway for the moment thank you let's leave it for the moment the french government is moving fast with

should take his time to make decision to come to decisions it's quite early now. to come up with first. strong ideas the spire has to be rebuilt or not to because we will say it's the spire became iconic during the last one half centuries too and it has been designed by the ole the duke that's like the godfather of french conservation of monuments so it's everything is important to such a building not only the medieval parts it's like. a the train through the centuries to every. century put its special edition to it now what about the roof now this is going to be a monumental task the roof trusses there is talk of an iron or steel roof or

wood which would you say is better i mean should we stick to what it was only yesterday i heard that someone came up with suggestions to rebuild the roof and in steel and steel construction as it had been as be done to many off a german and austrian churches after divorce because there was not enough enough money and not enough time and maybe not enough to during that period now we have actually we can take the french can take time to come to decisions and especially does forest the parish and status of the forest of not for dom of timber virk. of one thousand and three hundred medieval oaks from the normandy and it's. you meant in itself and as the so sad so horrible sad that this has
