9:01 am
you're watching our to international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned four pm welcome to the program. france is today coming to terms with a devastating fire that ravaged one of the world's most famous buildings and in paris investigators believe the blaze may have been the result of ongoing restoration work on the cathedrals roof and spire both of which collapsed president emanuel mccrone has pledged to building the rice will rise from the ashes. no cathedral stands in the literal heart of paris some eight hundred and fifty years of history contained in her bosom much of it intact is now off to a ferocious fire broke out on monday the crowds gathered last night to witness this
9:02 am
catastrophe and they've once again come out today to try and see what has happened to their beloved and iconic jewel president micro-loan described this as being national tragedy echoing the views of people fall and white so horrible to watch the massive fire not crude down cathedral in paris perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out must act quickly i'm following the not saddam for minute by minute noted on the perry belongs to all humanity what a spectacle what horror i share the emotions of the french nation which is ours as well my thoughts so we the people of france tonight and with the emergency services who are fighting the terrible blizzard north of them coffee drew in terms of the damage well it's still too early to tell exactly how much damage has been done but we do know that the iconic spot and the roof both collapsed last night as those
9:03 am
flames ravaged the inside of not cathedral we also know that what's been saved will no move to the new for museum where it will remain until it can come back to not at all but let's take a look at how that fire which literally ripped through the hearts of people here in paris last night unfold it.
9:04 am
you know since there are two fronts which is burning really says his or her friend says a lot of paris so that's a part of our culture we are losing two nights says syria just not true down is the heart of paris it is granger it is monumental it is horrible to see everything they had alarm going off to smoke centuries of our heritage. was. a live live. live. i said. it's very sad it's one of the great monuments of france we've got far away so it's devastating
9:05 am
that a monument like this is burning. and in motion. i say this to you solomon else i think 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. we spoke to thomas jenkins a fire chief who explained the difficulties in tackling such a massive fire. our fire safety is number one because we have to make sure that we can battle the blaze tomorrow as well and that's tough to balance when you're dealing with emotionally charged incidents when you have circumstances were civilian lives are being threatened and in a case like this where you're dealing with property that is you know happy that has
9:06 am
value of what you would consider normal property so just has to unbelievably historic call for the parish 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 per serving as much as it can be and we want to see all those firefighters go on to say for the world to sharing in france a shock anthropology professor charles e. owen and historian michael has been give us their views on the tragedy. it certainly has the potential for 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
9:07 am
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. a beard it is extremely difficult because. it has a mass to be as lucky. and graphic stonemasons that sharon and i had a methodology which is very difficult to be an understatement and have reconstructed was mother to mother means stare on the other hand it's a symbol of paris and i think. we need we have the mission
9:08 am
to rebuild of this group as possible. prominent european politicians have expressed their discontent with america's israel policy and a letter to a british newspaper the guardian and they say the must recognize to respond as a capital both of israel and an independent palestinian state that all 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
9:09 am
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 can delete lee side live i mean as european foreign policy approach e.u. leaders have heard 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
9:10 am
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 our i personnel for prosecution will be met with the swift and vigorous response. to this idea that the united states. and their friends are somehow above international law something that's called out of mind the 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 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
9:11 am
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 adat or other players rush a's one of the players that can be helped to find a balance. if you still america remains a key 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 political efforts but this is our point we see europe silent we see europe not
9:12 am
engage in talks at 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 particular e.u. leader that stands out as the one who would stand up and challenge the united states is a unilateral approach to. it's the israeli palestinian situation these are all over . the world health organization reports that cases of measles worldwide have tripled since last year the united nations children's fund unicef says one third of the dust from the disease occur in india adding that misinformation on vaccinations is spread through one of the country's most popular messenger services whatsapp. you have seen your friend over and over to the emerging is the use of social media. use of smart media to spread rumors regarding. that are going to. see we're going to have to step in
9:13 am
working really closely with government we're all going to media during that individual media. to do stories with the right information. with the right messaging in the public space. dozens of schools in the city of mumbai have reportedly stopped doctors from vaccinating students in new delhi two parents are opposing vaccinations due to rumors that vaccines lead to mental health conditions like autism this false information is being spread mainly through social media. every year more than one hundred thousand people die from measles across the globe you know stuff more and another highly contagious disease rubella causes tens of thousands of birth defects in india every year social media lawyer cohen explains how misinformation is being spread. in india it is estimated it did
9:14 am
there are about three hundred million what's up uses so the influence of the media is absolutely incredible he's becoming one of the most common sources of communication in the country now the reason why facebook acquired what's up was in order to gather more in moral data about people like for example a situation where a person is being saint and the vaccination propaganda the 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 apps it's facebook on if you choose facebook itself what's an instagram so the result system here. facebook is good the power. to stop at least to an extent because one platform feeds the other now india is not alone in falling victim to fake news about
9:15 am
vaccinations this year the united states registered one of the biggest outbreaks of measles in almost two decades something that's being put down to misinformation posted on various social media platforms facebook for its part has already found to reduce the ranking of groups and pages spreading and in messages. privacy activists and technology expert bill new tell us that regulating online platforms on p.c. . 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 and 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
9:16 am
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 these very platforms that are in incorporating some form an encryption 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 more of the latest news coming your way in just a moment. what
9:17 am
do you do before you came here where did you work before you came here when you lived. death row in many us states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people because of what they did they have given up the right to live among us some are even proven innocent after years on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

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 earlier we spoke with legal and media analyst lionel who feels the democratic party has lost touch with reality. rumpus 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 all that the democratic party they love to talk about things like
