you were. on. fire and. damaging the iconic structure. is not just part of french identity but of world heritage. and prominent european politicians. follow the u.s. as example when it comes to the middle east.

from our studio with me welcome to the program a massive fire has swept through not shut down cathedral in paris destroying the spire and most of the roof investigators suspect the place started restoration work president emanuel has pledged to restore the building. irwin. the a.

little caesar of france which is going to reduce or hurt or france certifiers that's part of what we always eat tonight that's very subtle dempsey's turn down is the heart of paris is grand your it's monumental it's horrible to see every sin we have learned growing up in smoke centuries of our heritage the whole structure is that. it's very sad it's one of the great monuments of the friends i leave not far away it was devastating that a monument like this is burning for the most you cannot break down the sunday people feel devastated it's a national disaster i can't express how sad it makes me because i think i'm. going to trust it and then most of what. i say this to you so. we will rebuild this great cathedral together we will appeal to the greatest talents to help restore not

true them because this is what the french people expect and this is what our history deserves it is our destiny. the cathedral is one of the most popular tourist attractions in europe pulling in thirteen million visitors every year of the fire has caused serious damage the spire on the roof collapsed the famous train bell tower as a north res wind both of which were built in the twelfth century was saved as was the fourth century crime. forms but the fate of hundreds of godel's tech writing is unknown challenge belsky was at the scene we know the firefighters have been working throughout the evening trying to dampen down those flames we even heard that they had decided not to use aerial water thousands because they wanted to ensure that that frame didn't collapse and it looks like those reports coming through now that they have been able to secure that so some incredible news that

stephanie given people here some. cheer in fact we've had people singing throughout the evening trying to keep their spirits up as they've been watching this fire unfold. the. when news of this fire not spread out the church bells at certain churches across the city rang their bells in solidarity to show that they will all thinking are not our lady as it is in english and when to stand that a number of works of art have been rescued from this fire they are not damaged that's incredibly good news in terms of the heritage to try and preserve that for not and we also understand that the crown of thorns this was probably one of the most iconic and important relics that was contained in not that has also been rescued that is

a relic that dates back to at least the fourth century although catholics believe that it was actually the crown of thrones that cheeses a war just before his crucifixion so an incredibly important relic to the catholic church here in france so that crown of thorns as well as many are works of art and of the relics have been saved by those firefighters who have been working tirelessly throughout the evening at this cathedral it's. not just a building it's the heart of paris it was built all those years ago to represent paris being the economic the political and the cultural heartbeat of france and it remains just that twelve million people visit it every year it's the most visited sites in paris possibly one of the most visited sites across the world but what we do know is that restoration work that was underway to try and stop it crumbling and fortunately he hasn't done anything to stop face majestic crown jewel of france

this french checked at alcatel a super big sample going up in ashes tonight but that good news coming through him very much welcomed by the people here that eight looks like the construction itself has been saved as well as a number of works of art and import relics all have been rescued from the grips of that fire and spoke to thomas jenkins the fire chief here explain the difficulties in tackling such a massive blaze. our fire safety is number one because we have to make sure that we can back out the blades tomorrow as well and that's tough to balance when you're dealing with emotionally charged incidents when you're out in the circumstances were civilian lives are being anaemic case like this where you're dealing with property that is or you know happy that has value what you would consider normal property so just. unbelievably were called for there is fire i'm sure

that's a sentiment that is shared worldwide that we want to see this fire be extinguished we want to see the property. as much as it can be and we want to see all those firefighters go on. well the sharing in france is shock the russian orthodox church called the fire a tragedy for the whole christian world need is a new miss countries have also expressed their condolences to the finest nation as apology professor charles wheelan and a historian michael has and then gave us their views on the damage and the fire fighting operation. said it certainly has that potential for value pulled together to help rebuild and i think the rebuilding will also help you know the people of france and give them something. to rally around i think you've got to me. to stay with the original architecture but certainly as you build it back you can

be built so this doesn't happen again. with materials that are less flammable and things like that you know but i think you have to stick with the original framework and then how it looked even if you've never been there you you you you feel the loss and you know maybe it's off your bucket list now i'm completely completely shocked because this is not just one church but it is after a dozen the vatican and the second most important symbol of christian europe so it is like on a christian europe being in. the beauty of it's extremely difficult because. it has a mass to be as lucky. and graphic stonemasons that sharon and i had a methodology which is very different to be an understatement and then to reconstruct it was my mother means stair on the other hand it's

a symbol of paris and i think. we need we have the mission to rebuild it as good as possible. well you can see live pictures of the site now behind me the site of the tragedy in the truck of not cathedral has been largely saved officials are saying that the fire had threatened to the eight hundred year old the damage to the building however is extensive two thirds of the roofing has been ravaged firefighters say the blaze was potentially related to renovations and started in the attic of the building you can see those live pictures there people on the roof there more than four hundred firefighters battled the flames engulfing the building until the structure was declared saved at around ten fifty pm local time what we have been told is two policemen and one firefighter sustained minor injuries and not to downplays that's according to the paris fire brigade and it was one of the most popular tourist attractions in europe pulling in thirteen million

visitors every year the fire has caused some damage but they've managed to save a few of the really historical items. now a prominent european politicians have expressed their discontent with america's policy in a letter to british newspaper the guardian they say the e.u. must recognize jerusalem as a capital both of israel and an independent palestinian state peter all of reports . donald trump's decision to go his own way when it comes to finding a solution to the israeli palestinian situation coupled with no real response to this decision from any major leaders but that's prompted a group of former european leaders to pen an open letter in condemnation of the u.s. policy and of europe's reactions well those putting their signature to this letter

include the former foreign secretary of the united kingdom david miliband the nato secretary general mr salado the former foreign minister of germany. and before italian foreign minister franco for italy we are very concerned. europe is completely silent while america strong is and now wants to put forward a unilateral peace plan ease is the reason why i think we need a week up call for europe to be again trying to be in the game not really fully sideline i mean as you look for a polish your approach e.u. leaders have had very little to say about donald trump's very visible and very

vocal support for israel in fact it's been pretty much the same as when the golan heights were recognized by the united states when the u.s. moved its embassy to jerusalem with the latest idea from the president that israeli citizens should be immune from prosecution in the international criminal court since the creation of the i.c.c. the united states has consistently declined to join the court because of its broad unaccountable prosecutorial powers any attempt to target american israeli or ally personnel for prosecution will be met with a swift and big. response. this idea that the united states and their friends are somehow above international law something called out my former european leaders in their open letter unfortunately the current us administration has departed from longstanding u.s. policy and distance itself from established international legal norms it has so far agonized only one side screams to jerusalem and demonstrated to disturb an

indifference to israel and settlement expansion one of the lynchpins of the e.u. is a project is multiple nations coming together to find a peaceful resolution now the situation when it comes to israel in palestine is already difficult and it becomes even tougher when you see the unilateral approach being taken by the united states those who've been involved in and seen close diplomacy at its highest levels say the european union needs to be more vocal and also needs to bring more countries into the process it is not only america it is europe and there are other players russia is why don't the players that can be helped to find a balance so if you still america remains keep player if you want to succeed but europe has been always and will be in the future

and another key player it is usually to try to get a lasting peace we doubt rely also on european legal efforts but this is our point we see europe silent we see europe not engage in talks and these is the time to deal with the european union and trump are already butting heads over trade and defense spending there isn't any particularly you leader that stands out as the one who would. stand up and challenge the united states's unilaterally approach towards the israeli palestinian situation these are all over. in a bid to tackle the issue of border security donald trump suggested that all illegal immigrants should be shipped to what he calls sanctuary cities when he tells a law story after this break. on

one of the shows seem wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape our disdain. and indeed try to be close to trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only closely. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and

talk. we. welcome back to the program the world health organization reports the cases of measles worldwide three times higher than in twenty nineteen than last year the united nations children's fund unicef says one third of deaths from measles occur in india pointing to the spread of misinformation after one of the most popular messages in india whatsapp regarding vaccinations we have seen a fair number leverage of emerging the use of social media and the use of smart media to spread rumors regarding. and that are going to see how they do.

preemptive steps one can really go live with governor romney media holding that individual really zero zero zero to destroy. the right information. messaging in the public space some schools in india have reportedly prevented a health officials from vaccinating students while in new delhi parents are opposing vaccinations due to rumors spread mainly through whatsapp and facebook some of the false message claims vaccines are linked to autism and other disorders . every year more than one hundred thousand people die from measles across the globe and a third of the cases happen in. states and other highly contagious. tens of thousands of birth defects in the country every year social media lawyer. he explains how misinformation is being spread. in india it is estimated the there are about three hundred million what's up uses so the influence of the media

is absolutely incredible each piece becoming one of the most common sources of communication in the country now the reason why facebook acquired what up was in order to gather more immoral data about people like for example the situation where a person is being saint and the vaccination propaganda dulcie person is very likely later on in the day to see more material about on the vaccinations appearing on facebook is about the interaction between the different. cause which is of facebook itself what's up in instagram so the results system here. facebook is good the power. to stop at least to an extent because one platform. in years not alone in falling victim to think about vaccinations this year the u.s.

registered one of the biggest outbreaks of. something that's being put down to misinformation posts on various social media platforms facebook for its part to reduce the ranking of groups our page is spreading. privacy activists and technology expert bill neely told us regulating platforms like once stop is going to prove a tall order. i think it's very difficult to have some casual regulation that covers all sorts of card types of content that might be harmful that actually caters for the different nuances between different cultures and all the different sort of messaging platforms and communications media obviously you have some communications techniques some platforms that one to many and facebook or twitter would come to mind you have others that are more one to one the sort of individual communication that we see is far more private there are ethical dilemmas in terms

of the extent to which we're going to truly don't know the extent to which we're going to monitor it and on top of that many of the platforms the focus of one to one communication all the very platforms that are in incorporating some form of group should at this time and encryption is going to make it absolutely impossible and therefore i think there are technical and legal issues here that are going to be very difficult to breach. the subject of illegal immigration sold on firing off on twitter once again piling pressure on his democratic rivals and get at their failure to back his border security plans on friday the president suggested all illegal immigrants should be shipped to so-called sanctuary cities if the democrats don't back down. we could fix that and so fast if the democrats would agree but if they don't agree we might as well do what they always say they want they want more people in there saying sure cities well we'll give them more people we can give a lot we can give them an unlimited supply and let's see if they're so happy they

say we have open arms or always say they have open arms let's see if they have open arms samples so sarcastically agreed with pop star and left wing socialist to share who had stated l.a. couldn't take more illegals as it has to care for its own citizens including homeless ones her stance came as a surprise to many as she had previously been a vocal defender of illegal immigrants own dream as she even claims she was ready to take some home to protect them and share isn't the only democrat who objects to trump's proposal i say he's trying to put americans against each other make us less safe he's injecting fear into our country notion that is unworthy of the presidency of the united states and disrespectful of the challenges that we face as a country as a people to address who we are a nation of immigrants the idea of using these human beings as a kind of pestilence to spread around the country like a form of plague that you want to impose on your enemies is really grotesque

we spoke to a legal and media analyst lionel abrams the democratic party has lost touch with reality. what trump has been saying and others rational people is we have immigration yes we have in our harbor the statue of liberty bring those you're tired in your emma lazarus but we've got to have some kind of an order here the left as we call them hollywood's it doesn't matter your i hate monger so he says you know what i'm going to do i'm going to give you a neighborhood that all the south whoa whoa wait a minute hold it hold it the democratic party they love to talk about things like free education free health care free stuff you want it you got it right or how we're going to pay for it during these people who are going to take i don't know they love the bumper sticker they hate the fine print they hate the war how do we

do this they love to talk about everything from collusion to a drug to corruption here getting what they believe asking for unlimited said or on. conditional this masses of humanity. of dreamers be careful what you ask for. now a new head of the sudanese military council has been named just a day after its previous chief stepped down it comes amid a major political upheaval in the country which has seen the military can topple a longtime leader omar al bashir abdel fattah who is now effectively in charge as a veteran soldier he's a former chief of the country's ground forces according to reports here of us all sending troops to yemen as part of the saudi led coalition saudi arabia meanwhile has declared its support for the transitional military council headed by the new chief. the kingdom declares its support for the steps announced by the council in

preserving minds and prosperity and stands by the sudanese people and hopes that this will achieve security and stability for brotherly saddam according to local and yemeni needed. sudan has at least three thousand ground troops and several fighter jets fighting in yemen as part of the saudi led alliance dozens of sudanese soldiers have been killed on coastal battlegrounds we spoke with hour by only as a key read editor of the pan african newswire he thinks sudan plays a central role in the yemeni will. well clearly. the intervention of all the soldiers from. this has been a key component of this war which in fact is coordinated by the pentagon against the people of yemen this is purely designed to prevent the answer a lot of the so-called the movement from gaining total consolidation of the

political framework in yemen thousands of people have died hundreds of thousands have been displaced we have the largest humanitarian crisis known today in the world of the largest outbreak of cholera is a direct result of this war they have bombed the housing complexes spittles. up ports and other massive infrastructure in yemen but it's an outrageous situation that has to end as soon as possible. that's the news this hour i'll be back in around thirty minutes time with more updates but in the meantime it's time for the kinds of report next ten. years. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields

where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about football not three or else i just think i was going to do. by the way ways of the flying here. my body told me that i belong with the boys but my thoughts my mind with that i'm along with the girls. under the surgery still be a very popular. football person's doctor. i was born a male had a sex change when i was thirty years old. i've now been living as

a woman for twenty eight years and i fully regret this. my problem should have gone away from it by now but they hadn't so these surgeries are nothing more than plastic surgery i've had several female to male friends and you look at it he's just gone oh god you paid for that it's horrible nobody can change genders is impossible. is still luzhin it's a mental illness. woman for she was taken out from a. good politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something i want to be honest. what's it like to be close with what before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my house. or city.

i do think the numbers mean something they've mattered us a little bit one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime empty this. eighty five percent of global wealth few months of the old rich. six percent world market thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second. and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know for them it's one and only boom box.

this is the kaiser report continuing our coverage of the global environmental crisis that is money printing it's essentially the toxic waste that comes out of the end of a central bank system that can. exist for that money and that's what we're all dying from. basic well in fact in particular within that system where we've been looking at a forty year experiment or radical experiments of money printing untied to anything it's not tied to anything like gold like we were until nine hundred seventy one and i think that system of a global total one hundred percent system is kind of falling apart and you see that

big coin is making moves towards being one of these perhaps unit of accounts the global reserve currency with gold krypto those are spiking after fed minutes signal quote financial instability for years because it has spiked above five thousand four hundred and the rest of the crypto space is soaring seemingly catalyzed by fed minutes which showed a lack of immediacy in cutting rates and anxiety over leverage and financial instability quote a few participants observed that the appropriate path for policy in so far as it implied lower interest rates for a longer period of times could lead to greater financial stability risks and that's the spike that happened immediately upon the fed minutes being released. right well you know.
