goodwillie. you were. one. of the. provinces in shock after firing. in paris badly damaging the iconic structure. which is burning. we are losing tonight and that's really sad world leaders express their condolences saying not turn down is not just part of french identity but a world heritage. and prominent european politicians to the you not to follow the u.s. as example when it comes to the middle east.

it's midday here in moscow and you're watching all t. international live from last year with me. welcome to the program. a massive fire has swept through cathedral in paris destroying the spire and most of the roof investigators suspect the blaze started during restoration work president emanuel has pledged to restore the building. was.

you know says there are two fronts which is burning reduces or hurt or france is way out of paris and that's a part of our culture we are losing tonight says city of just not true down is the heart of paris it is grander it is monumental it is horrible to see everything they had alarm going off and smoke centuries of our heritage. love. i said it's very sad it's one of the great monuments of france not far away so it's devastating that a monument like this is burning for the last one i think on a sunday i feel devastated it's a national disaster i cannot express how sad it makes me.

sad and in motion. i say this to someone else that we will rebuild this great cathedral together we will appeal to the greatest talents to help restore not treat them because this is what the french people expect and this is what our history deserves it is our destiny that in. the cathedral is one of the most popular tourist. tractions in europe pulling in thirteen million visitors every year but the fire has caused serious damage the spire and the roof have collapsed the famous twin towers and north rose window both of which were built in the twelfth century was safe to as was the fourth century crown of thorns but the fate of hundreds of god. is unknown. without the sea. 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 boughs is 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. in fact we've had people singing throughout the evening trying to keep their spirits up as they've been more ching this fire unfolding in. the. when news of this fire. spread out the church across the city rang their bells in solidarity to show that they will all thinking or not our lady as it is in india should number of works of art have been rescued from this fire 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 she says a war just before his crucifixion 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 site in paris possibly one of the most visited sites across the world but what we do know is that restoration work that was under way to try and stop it crumbling and for which he hasn't done anything to stop this majestic crown jewel of france this french got sick architecture and architecture superbe example going up in

ashes tonight but that good news coming through him very much welcomed by the people here that it looks like the construction itself has been saved as well as a number of works of art and important relics all have been rescued from the grips of that fire. we spoke to thomas jenkins the fire chief who explained 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 lights tomorrow as well and that's tough to balance when you're dealing with emotionally charged incidents when you have the circumstances were civilian lives are being threatened and in a case like this where you're dealing with property that is are you know happy that has value of what you would consider normal property so just stood believably you store call for harris fire department 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. the well to sharing in france's shellac need to surround the clip and also express their condolences to the french nation saying not to damn is not just part of french identity but a world heritage and it's a policy professor charles wheelan an historian michael has them and gave us their views on the damage and the fire fighting operation. it certainly has that potential for you pull 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 me you know what 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 and completely completely shocked because this is not just one church but it is after a peters and the vatican and the second most important symbol of christian europe so it is like on a christian europe being in probably beard is it's extremely difficult because. it has a mass to be as lucky. acetates and graphic stonemasons that sharon and i had a methodology of it it's very difficult to be an understatement and have reconstructed was my mother means stare on the other hand it's a symbol of paris and i think. i meet we have and that the mission

to rebuild it as good as possible. so the pictures there in the not to them was up in flames and these are live pictures now from the site of the tragedy that you can see behind me the fire has now been fully extinguished the structure of the not to dam cathedral has been largely say and officials are saying that the fire had threatened to gut the eight hundred year old landmark but there is damage to the building and it is extensive so 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 they're obviously still investigating that there were more than four hundred firefighters battled the flames engulfing the building until the structure was declared saved at around ten fifty p. and you can see those pictures there. are behind me the live picture is that we also know that two policemen and one firefighter sustained minor injuries in the not sure blaze and that's according to the paris fire brigades.

now prominent european politicians have expressed their discontent with america's israel 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 the 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 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. we

are very concerned. europe is completely silent while america strong is and now wants to put forward a unilateral peace plan these is the reason why i think we need a week up call for euro to be again trying to be in the game not could be bullied to lee side live i mean as you look for him paul is your approach e.u. leaders have had very little to say about donald trump's a very visible and very vocal supporter 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 the swift and vigorous response. this idea that the united states. and their friends are somehow above international law something that's called out my former european leaders in their open letter unfortunately the current us administration has departed from longstanding u.s. policy and this insists now from established international legal norms it has so far agonized only one side screams to jerusalem and demonstrated to disturb an indifference to israel a 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 a 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 on a day after other players rush a's one hundred players that can be helped to find a balance. 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 olds on european legal efforts but this is our point we see europe silent we see europe not engaged

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 unilateral approach to. it's the israeli palestinian situation peter all over. the world health organization reports that cases of measles worldwide are three times higher than last year the united nations children's fund unicef says one third of deaths from measles occur in india nothing that mrs infant misinformation regarding vaccinations is spread via one of the most popular messages in india what's. your fellow below average of emerging do you believe your. use of mass media to spread rumors regarding.

that are. going to. be really globally with goldman we're only. going to be really really zero. zero zero zero to destroy the. information. in the public space dozens of schools in the indian city of mumbai have reportedly prevented doctors from vaccinating students in new delhi two parents are opposing vaccinations due to vaccines lead to mental health diseases like autism this false information is being spread mainly through social media apps like whatsapp and facebook. every year more than one hundred thousand people die from measles across the globe and a third of the cases happen in india unicef states that another highly contagious disease rubella causes tens of thousands of birth defects in the country every year social media lawyer yeah cohen explains how misinformation is being spread. in

india it is estimated that there are about three hundred million users 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 wats 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 does personally is very likely later on in the day to see more material about on the vaccinations appearing on facebook about the interaction between the different did facebook on the beaches of facebook each of what an instagram so the results system here. facebook is good the power. to stop at least to an extent because one platform

feeds the other india is not alone in forming victim to fake news about vaccinations this year the us registered one of the biggest ranks of. decades something as being put down information posted on various social media platforms facebook for its plants is already. a ranking of pages spreading. privacy activists and technology experts told us regulating platforms like whatsapp 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. 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 and encrypted at this time and encryption is going to make it absolutely impossible and therefore i think there are technical and ethical issues here that are going to be very difficult to breach in a bid to tackle the issue of border security donald trump suggested that illegal immigrants should be shipped what he calls. more details after this break.

soon a state actor will begin mining big point for strategic reserve purposes and the ash wars will be played out on a state level and that's will take us to a new all time highs as we get closer to the predicts we made on this show back in two thousand and eleven when the price was a dollar that will see one hundred thousand dollars per but. join me every thursday on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

welcome back to the program the subject of illegal immigration a firing off on twitter once again piling pressure on his democratic rivals i get at the 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 in 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 get more 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 charm also saul casting agreed with pop star and left wing social activist who

had stated l.a. couldn't take more illegals as it has to care for its own citizens including homeless ones a stone's came as a surprise to many as she previously been a vocal defender of illegal immigrants and dreamers she even claims she was ready to take some home to protect them but 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 is 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. respect to legal and honest final he please the democratic party has lost touch

with reality. what trump has been saying and others rational people as we have immigration yes we have in the harbor the statue of liberty bring those you're retired 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 of us out 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 bring these people in who are going to take i don't know they love the bumper sticker they hate the fine print they hate the well how do we do this they love to talk about everything from collusion to grab to corruption they're getting what they've been asking for unlimited unfettered on.
