the conditions that may be attached because i think there is some surprise from other members emmanuel macron has taken perhaps a hard line in the room and they were expecting. it is a suggestion, one potential compromise. somewhere in the middle seems like a pretty good place to start. it doesn't necessarily mean thatis start. it doesn't necessarily mean that is where we will end up. my heart was jumping for joy that is where we will end up. my heart was jumping forjoy you know you are telling me there will go backin you are telling me there will go back in the room to talk about her condition. i have been to enough of the semester know it is never white smoke until i hear somebody say it publicly. and until all the countries in the room agree it has to be unanimous, it is not a done deal but it does seem an obvious potential place to end up although there are those who say it is still not enough time, it would make more sense because even if you have the president of the commission and place you have to have to get the other commissioners approved in the european parliament, and all of that

president emmanuel macron thanked the fire services. it was a well-thought-out and well prepared operation. >> what preparations have been made foror easter r weekend?d? >> it will be off bounds for some time. a good friday service and other moved tohave been another church in the center of paris. we are getting more details on what is going to be a long restoration operation. there is going to be a giant umbrella over what remains of the roof to protect the interior. macron wants to take , the source of a lot of skepticism of people here in france. it may taking longer than the .resident wants several thousand climate protesters are gathering west of central paris. the movement inspired by this week's demonstrations in central london by the extinction has causedctivists disruption to parts of the public transport system. let's cross to our reporter who is out one of these protests. tell us where you are now. >> i am in front of the .eadquarters these protesters are here because they do not like the collaboration they have seen between

leo varadkar talking to emmanuel macron and saying we can't allow this nodal scenario to happen on the april because, if there were no deal, if the uk were to leave without any kind of deal, between northern ireland and the republic of ireland that could have huge and serious implications ——no deal. ireland that could have huge and serious implications --no deal. huge implications. i opened a business in ireland last year. as a direct result of exit. a hard brexit is a big issue for the irish economy as well —— brexit. from what one can see from today's reporting, leo varadkar is trying to get emmanuel macron into a position where there isa macron into a position where there is a deal to be done. certainly overnight from donald tusk, the european council president, and a very positive reaction to the prime minister's statement. i think there isa minister's statement. i think there is a conversation, a real conversation to take place between london and brussels, london and berlin, london and paris over the next few days. let us move on. we will talk about this again next time you are wi

--s is turning into a major because we know a lot of the cash emmanuel macron -- emmanuel macron will have to go a new announcement and be a bit more ambitious, otherwise this may be considered by the french too little, too late. david: it is 10 days later. is also somewhat harder? is the bar raised in the reaction by the yellow vests and others in the fact that so much money was raised so fast to rebuild that wonderful cathedral and not going to address the issue of the yellow vests? caroline: absolutely. the yellow vests have criticized this money raised for notre dame. nearly one billion euros at the moment, saying some of the money could be used to respond to the social prices in france. caroline, our colleague in paris. many thanks. let's go to washington and the white whale that is finally going to get spear -- the reform of the volcker rule. is it finally coming? ben: certainly wall street banks hope it is coming. of all the wall street reforms, this is the one big banks hated the most. jamie dimon said if you're trying to decide if you will do -- you or not, lawyers need a law

french president emmanuel macron vows that the magnificent structure will be rebuilt.e have correspondent hadas gould here with us from paris. what are authorities saying about their assessment of the building. >> reporter: authorities are still taking a look at the building. i don't know if you can see this behind me. there's a crane right now hovering over the cathedral as investigators are try to assess how stable the struck you're is. obviously it's stable enough that we've seen several authorities such as the french interior minister and president of paris have already gone in. you can see water covering the ground. you can see through up to the sky. the roof is open, and there seems to be a bunch of debris out at the altar. it's really incredible though that despite all of those damages, despite the spire being gone and most of the roof being gone, the organ, though damaged, is still intact. they managed to get a lot of artwork back, heroism and a human chain to get the artwork out. it will eventually be moved to the louvre museum where it can be refurbished befo

>> the problem with emmanuel macron is that he is very good at such speeches. hehe is good at making promises. that's whwhy he wasas elected. that is why 62% of the french people voted for him. now, his popularity rate is at 30%. it will do not trust him anymore. he knowledged single parents, people with disabilities, people living in rural areas, also pensioners, he said he would use of the car pensions. would that be enough? he is the death to those demands. -- deaf to those demands. he is looking forward to 2022. he is trying to mend how things have been done so far. brent: how about his relationship with angela merkel? he admitted things have not been as good as they should be. >> edenic knowledge that. use the terminology -- he did acknowledge that. he used the term "d iscrepancies," that was on brexit and climate change. he said that the conversations with a german canceler were for improvement. brent: here are some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. france friends of specialists have entered notre dame cathedral for the firs

it relates to the fact that emmanuel macron among others doesn't want the uk acting like a spoiler. —heck correspond. —— reality check correspond. you might think one possible compromise here if he is saying let's go short and most of the ladies are saying let's go long, split it into come if you had an extension until october, that is a little bit more time for britain to get his ducks in a row but it happens before the eu is to think the lack a new president of the european commission and put them in place for the 1st of november fought them ina place for the 1st of november fought them in a new president of this building and the european council to replace donald tusk that have to happen on the 1st of december. if macron's big idea is to lead a european renaissance we need a rebirth of the european union with new people in charge? you could see a compromise emerging if they take a few hours this evening, perhaps sometime in the autumn saying it is a bit more time that he wanted, but it is before that crucial changing of the guard takes place. there was some thought there will be th

that was the message that emmanuel macron, the president of france, delivered last night. ly going to be delivering again in an hour. stephanie, it was interesting, last night the president macron was about to deliver a speech about national unity. he was calling on the yellow vest movement, which has been upending paris for months and months with violent protests, calling on them to stop. he didn't do that speech because of the fire in the cathedral behind me. but now, this cathedral, this fire has done more to unify this country than any speech ever could. and that's what we're seeing with the donations that are flooding in. nearly half a billion dollars has already been raised to reconstruct this cathedral. we can expect more signs of the unity of this country coming together around this iconic monument and church in the coming weeks and years. >> father barton, as new yorkers, i can attest that extraordinary feeling of community and unity we have had here after terrible situations. when you look at the damage inside and outside the cathedral, what goes through your mind

there are leaders like emmanuel macron of france who say that is a bad idea.chief brexit negotiator and his warning is that on the one hand, a longer extension takes pressure off mps to finally come to some kind of brexit conclusion and also, as soon as the uk has new members of the european parliament, the prime minister can keep asking for more brexit extensions, as long as they are in office and that is five years. all eyes on the eu but the prime minister still has all of her problems back home. she does come a long line of awkward customers, not least emanuel macron, the most keen of eu leaders to suggest in his view that britain is not going to profit at leaving the european union. even on the question of delay, more than 100 mp5 on the question of delay, more than 100 mps voted to say they didn't wa nt 100 mps voted to say they didn't want to countenance any more pauses to brexit. there is unhappiness about that. there is also deep unease in the labour party and the tory party over the idea of the two main political groups being able to come together ar

between the one year angela merkel finds tolerable and the three to four or five months that emmanuel macroneally finds suitable. so let's say late fall or maybe right after christmas, something like that, is within the realm of the possible and l likely. macron really emphasized different things because he is worried about the european union -- not only by the possible emergence of the bad boys of brexit when they come to brussels, look -- but by being forced to deal with brexit and the whole negativity and chaos it brings. europe has other things on its agenda. that is what macron was trying to say. brent: barbara wesel on the story for us tonight on the eve of that emergency eu summit. thank you. you're watching "dw news." still to come, a move to bring a painting from the year 1810 to virtual life in 2019. it is happening right here in berlin with technology that has opened a window into another world. we will find out how. hurricane maria wreaked serious damage when it struck puerto rico 18 months ago. now a group of young inventors is using drones and the internet to speed up emergency

a very moving speech by emmanuel macron about the rebuild. and if the old lady, it has seen a lot.s gone through many, many damages. in the 18th century it was restored. but all of that, the spire was entirely all of that, the spire was entirely a 19th century spire, the ober was taken down in the reign of louis 16, but it does not lessen this sense of the spiritual, social, communal death that happened. our correspondent helped us take on the scale of the history pointed out that when napoleon was consecrated as emperor it was already 500 years old. how significant the parts of the building that have been destroyed and those that have not? there are three beautiful glass rose windows. one immediately above the main door on the west facade. that window has no mediaeval glass in it whatsoever so that can be restored pretty much as it was. the two windows north and south are the ones that have a mix of mediaeval and 19th—century glass, particularly the north which has lots of mediaeval glass. they are a mixture of mediaeval and modern. they were designed in visigothic. , in the middl

what is interesting is the president's reaction to this, emmanuel macron, who went there to give hisfore the cameras. he was actually due to give a televised speech anyway last evening, in terms of the national debate about the protest that have been going on for weeks and months. he was going to give his response about how they have been discussing it around the country. could this bring the country together?” it around the country. could this bring the country together? i don't think do any harm. when you talk about the french people in france, france is probably the most conservative country in the whole of europe. it doesn't like change. monsieur macron, who has the right ideas of how he wants to change the french economy and bring an upgrade to them, you have to be very careful with the french. don't push them. they take their time to embrace change, think is the best way to say. i think this will be incredibly important to make sure it is focused on its restoration as soon as possible. as soon as possible by taking time. slowly and extremely well. of course a devastating fire.

so, a very moving speech by emmanuel macron, which insisted "nous la rebatirons" — we will rebuild.he old lady, i mean, it's seen a lot. it's gone through many, many personae, really. it was classicised in the interior in the 18th century. it was then massively restored and very well done by viollet—le—duc, the architect, and his colleague lassus, in the 19th century. but all of that, even though one knows that the spire was entirely a 19th—century spire — the old one was taken down in the last years of the reign of louis xvi — doesn't really lessen this sense of a death, of a kind of a spiritual, social and communal death that has really happened and we certainly didn't expect it. our correspondent, kevin, who you were referring to, to help us sort of take on the scale of the history that building encompasses, pointed out that when napoleon was consecrated as emperor there, it was already 500 years old. can you help us understand how significant the parts of the building are that have been destroyed, how significant the parts are that have survived? i think the huge question mark i

the french president emmanuel macron says it will be even "more beautiful" than before.t works inside the building have been lost for good. from paris, our correspondent lucy williamson reports. words were hard to find last night to describe this loss, to absorb this scene. what burned with notre—dame, high above the paris skyline, was 800 years of history. for some, the physical anchor of paris, the cultural soul of france. it took 23 minutes to confirm the fire alert and send emergency crews to the scene. the fire was spreading quickly, oak rafters that had held the roof for centuries turning to ash in the evening sky. the central spire holding out against its own destruction until the very last moment, its bell hanging clear and still in the flames. oh, la la, la la! to tackle the blaze, fire crews scaled the cathedral‘s main towers. this was the first glimpse of what they faced, footage of the building filmed from above, the flames mapping a cross against the night sky. inside, burning embers were still falling when the first crews made their way in. the pews where p
