because the walls were kept and so the devastation is salvageable and the devastation is salvageable there is more spring sunshine and more spring warmth on the way as we head towards the easter weekend. the weekend just gone was quite chilly, temperatures 10—12. an easterly wind and the aircoming temperatures 10—12. an easterly wind and the air coming all the way from the baltic. look what happens over the baltic. look what happens over the next few days. a lot of that blue, cold air gets pushed away and it really heats up across essential parts of europe and that is where we are going to get our weather coming from. we will be developing this south—easterly breeze and it will be warming up everywhere. mid 20s perhaps by saturday. 0n warming up everywhere. mid 20s perhaps by saturday. on monday, in the sunshine, it felt pleasant enough. likewise in liverpool, merseyside. we also had this cloud coming in very slowly from the west which has been bringing with it patchy rain and drizzle. earlier on it was windy as well in northern ireland and here in cornwall, unseasonable weather. the

the devastation speaks for itself.ndeed a cultural and historical loss and personally, i am a christian and a catholic and seeing the notre dame cathedral being engulfed by fire i am devastated and shocked. i've been to the cathedral a few times, i've attended mass service there, i've made there and i've even attended thursday and good friday services at the notre dame cathedral. i'm really very sad to see this happening. i'm really sad and heartbroken. lovely works of art have been destroyed in this lovely piece of architecture in central paris. it really saddens me to see what has happened to the notre dame cathedral. it's crucial to remind everybody that this is holy week. it's one of the most significant times in the christian calendar but some of those really important relics, the true cross, a part of the cross that is believed to have been the one on which christ was crucified and also the crown of thorns he wore the crucifixion. there are no words to explain the significance of this to christians, many works of

it is an absolutely staggering scene behind you, the devastation.d upon the yellow vest protest. they were due to regroup this weekend following on from what emmanuel macron would have said tonight. he did not speak. do you know if those protest will now, out of respect, not go ahead? i think it is far too early to think about that. i don't even think the people involved would have begun to think about that or how this connects into their protest or how it connects into the life of france. this is standing alone is a moment of national disaster. a cold moment at the heart of france that will give the french the challenge of the huge task of recovery. it is something that almost stands apart from the world of day—to—day politics, however intense that has been. and emmanuel macron was due to make political speech tonight on national television. he came down here to speak to the nation instead. and i think many french people will think he captured very well the role that this building has always played in the heart of france. how important it was to sa

this is a devastating blow from a religious perspective. this is the heart of the catholic church in the city of paris but also very culturally significant. it is, as you said, perhaps the finest example of french gothic architecture in the world. those towers and the flying buttresses at the back behind the spire are absolutely iconic. of course, it's been memorial e memorialized most noterably with victor hugo's the hunch back of notre dame. this is a loss on so many different levels, not just to paris, but to the entire world. >> the holiest week of the year. holy thursday, good friday, easter sunday, of course, just days away. joining anne and i by phone, michael fisher, american law student studying abroad in paris. tell us where you are and where you've been over the last hour. >> yeah. i am nene pantheon, kind of a different vantage point of the city. i'm actually at eye level with the fire. it started with the spire and it's just traveled. everyone here was hoping that may in some way it would be maintained or stop bfd it spread but

liz, you first. >> it's devastating. it is devastating. but i keep coming to mark the memory, the pictures we have of the day the saint cathedral burnt to the ground and today it is one of the pride and joys of rome. and you're looking at a church that's the beating heart of the city of paris. despite the fact it's going to be destroyed, it'll come back, i'm sure, and be as beautiful and new in a proper way to this era. >> george weigel, in our final seconds, your thoughts. >> i'm wondering, chris, if this might lead to a recovery in some sense of the christian roots in french and european civilization. everyone has been talking all day about what a symbol this is of an identity for people. and yet the roots of that are christian, this is a church, a place of worship. so if people feel the deep wound they're manifestly feeling, let's see if one of the outcomes of this might not be a recovery of faith. >> my thanks to all of my guests in this holy week. the symbol of catholicism and so much more in paris on fire. brian williams picks up our

could be pretty devastating.hat something like 300 million tons worth of plastic is produced around the world every year. we are getting better, but are still pretty bad at it. when people have finished with it and they go to be destroyed, these particles fly all the way, whether it is china and the paddy fields, on top of mountains, it is all part of the climate change, part of the pollution game. however much people wa nt to pollution game. however much people want to say does nothing to do with me, it isn't going to affect my grandchildren, 0no, brother and sister, it will affect you now and you will have to do something about it. let us talk about your grandchildren. you have quite a few. you were very hands—on, you have two gorgeous daughters who have had children. this article, costs for swimming to delay pregnancy until their 40s. this is news from the 0ffice their 40s. this is news from the office for national statistics. would you make of the story? —— costs for women. i don't think it is just about cost

but behind it lies a scene of devastation.lock at the treasures that may have been lost and recovered too. >> notre dame is 850 years of french history. we don't know the full extent of the destruction yet. we know that at least some of that history has gone up in smoke. we fear for instance the great organ may not have been saved. the largest in france. one of the most famous in the world. it contained pipes from the middle ages when it was built. it's hard to imagine how that survived. anything of wood might be gone. including parts of the tapestry of sculpturing inside. like these here from the 14th century. the rose windows. we don't know what state they're in. if the glass survived the blaze. one of the most recognizable features of the notre dame. immense round stained glass windows over the main portal. these date back to the 13th century. if you have visited you have seen them. the cathedral is an architectural treasure. no doubt. it contained treasures. several artifacts sacred in christianity. this is believed to be

that community is devastated. the entire island is in mourning. the bombings appeared to have been coordinated attacks. police have at least two dozen arrests at this point, at least three police officers were killed in one of those raids. at this point, no group has come forward to claim responsibility. as for the investigation itself in sri lanka, there may have been signs that an attack was in the works. a police source says that an intelligence memo circulated earlier this month. it said the leader of a muslim extremist group might be planning a suicide operation. the united states is also warning its citizens to take increased caution if traveling to the island. the state department saying terror groups continue plotting possible attacks. let's bring in cnn correspondent nakil kumar. 24 hours ago you and i were talking about these first reports of explosions. tell us more about what's happening right now on the ground. >> reporter: well, george, there was a curfew overnight all across this island of 21 million people in the aftermath of those

certainly life safety is always a priority and here it's such a devastating fire because you're talking about a cultural icon eight hundred fifty years old so that must be extremely devastating from the personal side but firefighting in. firefighting in historic buildings like this are extremely challenging because they're not typically built to modern fire code large wide open spaces are prone to collapse and because the cathedral was under construction and renovation in certain areas it made firefighting even more difficult with scaffolding in access for the firefighters on so risk of injury in a typical fire like this is much higher so due diligence in terms of safety is really important for that comes the firefighting effort you mentioned that you know part of the problem is just how old the structure is does that become a bit of a tussle that people in your department will have with the people in charge of the building sometimes because they're going to say look you can't bring us up to this level of code the because you're going to go damaging history but you've got your job today

the damage is devastating but the main building has been savedm the damage is devastating but the mainnot just a main building has been saved. it is notjust a building but our common legacy and strengthen history and it belongs to everyone. the president was quick to the scene to assess damage — tonight emmanuel macron will address the nation. we will bring you what he says.

m is devastating.ssing. take us back to 1992 and the fire at windsor castle. what did you and your team do? we had a very simple project, in many ways, in comparison to the architectural team. the state dining room sideboard, the biggest furniture piece in the palace, was boarded in when they started the restoration work so when the fire took hold, the sideboard was destroyed, which meant that it had to be replicated from scratch, apart from a set of gilt lamps which survived the fire. am i right it was 19 feet long? 0h, lamps which survived the fire. am i right it was 19 feet long? oh, yes. it was a huge piece, which is why they boxed in. in essence, it was actually built in parts, which is how we had to build it to get back into the room, but at the time it was considered simpler to protect in situ. how did you go about recreating it? i presume you had access to photographs, for example? the biggest problem with any of these restoration projects, of which we have done quite a number, is the informati

that is absolutely devastating.there people inside? put at any risk? it is too early to say as yet but we are and have not been told of any casualties at this point. the bbc‘s fergal keane is on the banks of the seine and a short while ago gave us this update. fire crews from across paris have come here to say whatever they possibly can and destructing thing standing among the crowds on the banks of the seine is just the silence quiet of people stunned by the destruction of notjust a great french cultural artefact but of one that belongs to the world. we can talk now to our religious editor martin bashir. this is an iconic catholic cathedral, this is easter week, but this building is loved by people right around the world. it is. it is a world heritage site. the interesting thing about the cultural status of notre—dame is that it's only major rival on the skyline is the eiffel tower, and that's been there for barely 100 years. this building has been there for 1200 yea rs. building has been there for 1200 years. but

talking several hours about the devastating act.e have news like this, it involves a tragedy involving people, and yet this building has evoked powerful responses from people on social media, from international leaders, very, very quickly, and that's quite a unique event, isn't it? it is. it's galvanising people across the world. it's in french culture, in french people's hurts, notjust parisians. people from around the world come to see us, notjust catholic, christians. it is in print literature. —— french literature for some it's in paintings. it is beautiful to see the unified response. i remember as a french journalists working, my first assignment, to go out in the field and it was actually to cover, reports, edit a special programme on the late show of notre—dame cathedral. for me, notre—dame cathedral. for me, notre—dame cathedral has a very special place. it survived two world wars, many centuries. it was not destroyed by the nazis. it was march to be destroyed during world war ii and think goodness a general decided, a germ

it is devastating to see that today.almost anything else beside it. yeah, ithink over almost anything else beside it. yeah, i think the city was very different really into the 1850s, 18605. different really into the 1850s, 1860s. we know notre—dame as this monument would sit alone, but really for most of its existence, it was surrounded on all sides and it towered over these streets, tiny buildings, really until the 19th century, when you have the remaking of paris under napoleon iii. this was a really poor area for much of the city's history. the first set of in paris. it was where they first settled. there are some really important archaeological material under notre—dame. it was a really important site and as you say, a central feature in the city. a rallying point for the city but also it showed the power of the mediaeval church as well. has it always been loved ? church as well. has it always been loved? a building that sold tends to come in out of favour. famously, we know that in 1831, victor hugo, great 19th cent

if the border was shut down it would be devastating for border communities. like laredo and el paso. but it would affect all of us. mexico is a major source of not only manufactured goods. prices would spike for cars, fresh produce -- we get a lot of it from mexico, particularly avocados, tomatoes cucumbers. , more importantly, for american production and supply chains and nowhere more important than the u.s. auto industry. 25 years of nafta has given us an integrated north american manufacturing platform. there are parts that cost more -- there are auto parts that across the border seven or eight times. if we seal the border, you would see manufacturing plants in the united states shutting down within a week. think of the ramifications that would have for the economy. we sell a lot to mexico. they are the number two market, so u.s. manufactured goods would be affected. auto parts, car, agriculture, soybeans, corn, meat and poultry. our farmers are dealing with a lot. the president's other tariff wars and retaliations, floods, this would be devastating to far
