, and full light on the back facade. if nou push the whole building back 20 feet, you lose those characteristics. the light wells get all mashed together and don't match, and the rear yard goes down to 16 feet. and we'd have to get a variance from the zoning district. partial preservation alternative two, which ceeches thikeeps this massing, s better. >> all three, the full preservation, maybe expanding it to include some units -- partial preservation alternatives one and two are in line. i'm not in love with this facade to say this is something that should be kept, but i do think it is possible. i think the current, new, proposed design needs to speak a little more to the buildings adjacent to it. >> i had a comments. i wonder if in partial alternative one you have to lose some units, but i think it is important to address the light and air unit. so i think you tight have to sculpt out the one -- there are two one-beds, and maybe it becomes a two-bed, and it loses a corner or some things, but i think it would be better

, that iconic facade. that's how high those flames were only about 20 minutes ago. some progress is being made. this is a very violent fire that raged suddenly and took over a very large part of notre dame cathedral. it will take some time to put it out entirely. >> so you were on the front side of the cathedral of notre dame. you are seeing through the facade that view. we are seeing the exact opposite view in the pictures that we're showing on the air, melissa. we're looking from the back of the cathedral and seeing some efforts of firefighters. we're still seeing even as there is some white smoke and even as some of the flames have been beat back, we're still seeing flames that have to be at least 30 or 40 fetal -- tall. there's scaffolding under some of the flames we're seeing. as you're looking around, as the crowds around you have been pushed back and people are watching and they -- you've described them. they've had their hands to their mouth. tell us what you've seen. >> reporter: well, we've seen

i'm so glad you can see the facade. this morning the first photographs from inside. >> the sunrises in paris. we assess the damage to the building. and we try to figure out what relics from inside. priceless relics were saved. we'll continue to give you updates throughout the course of the day. there will be political reaction too and possibly updates from paris prosecutors. on what might have caused this devastating fire in paris. these folks, they don't have time to go to the post office they have businesses to grow customers to care for lives to get home to they use stamps.com print discounted postage for any letter any package any time right from your computer all the amazing services of the post office only cheaper get our special tv offer a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again! getting dressed can be rough on sensitive skin. downy free & gentle has no perfumes, no dyes and softens clothes for sensitive skin. the only one trusted by the national pso

i would ditch the one that puts the building on top of the facade. if we want to have the second one, there it is. i think the material they provided is more detailed than we usually get, so i really appreciate the amount of study that went into these. they seem like they're realistic alternatives. so i appreciate that. but i would be fine with not having preservation alternative two -- partial preservation alternative two. >> the alternative two -- >> i would only have the full, the partial one, and then not do the two, which is basically just the facade. i don't think it has any preservation attributes, and it would not be, i think, a very successful example of what we want to promote for preservation of the city. the partial one, at least because of the setback, you can say, it is not great, but... >> i would be interested to know how the retention policy -- the historic material retention policy would be applied to this project. let's continue on. commissioner johns. >> i potentially agree with what commissioner wol wolfrin. i thought there was a

and yet, they kept that facade and that interior true to the original design.lized in the 16th century. it was vandalized and the contents, and many of the exteriors were removed because they were considered idol ris. it was at one time a storage warehouse for food. to see the survival of that and the numerous restorations and now to see this, it's heart breaking. >> we are actually -- we are actually seeing small parts of the roof caving in a little in some of the pictures we're seeing from moments ago. this is horrific. we heard melissa bell saying people are standing there on the street in horror. it is after 7:00 p.m., but this is the height of rush hour there in paris. and as you were describing, father, just the contents of the church. the organ. we heard from our hadas gold, just the beauty of everything inside and the significance, the historical significance of everything inside of this church. how concerned are you about the safety of people who may have been inside? >> well, again, i have not heard anything about how it even started or who who was in

and thankfully the facade was save. and lot of what you're studying, the medieval part has been able to withstand this fire, hasn't it? >> that's right. and we heard today that also some of the treasures of the treasury were also saved. i've heard reports that some of them were saved. that was one of the great fears as well. not just for the fabric of the building itself but for some of the artworks it contained, which is also part of the reason why people come to visit the church. it's really remarkable how iconic it is and how it is such a destination for visitor tuesday paris and visitors to france. even though paris does not want for fabulous monuments, but this is one that's really architectural in paris. >> this is still a very devastating week for the french and the holy week as well. thank you so much nicholas paul for joining us. we do appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> and we turn to u.s. politics now. and the attorney general is set to release a redacted version of the mueller report thursday, and that appears

which obviously isn't -- it's really a facade. i don't know if it's kept. >> i don't know if it is the space on the first floor. what it was originally was a loud noisy room full of equipment. it's empty shell. usually it sits about 6.5 feet of water in the basement, so you have a ruin you can rebuild a building out of. the community feels passionate about this and we want to discuss the real tradeoffs. that building is big, expensive and complicated. but we're given the opportunity to think creatively. we've responded to that and we'll continue to work with the community to discuss the tradeoffs with all stakeholders that represent what will make for a better project. >> commissioner hillis: okay. just maybe a question for the mayor's office or economic development. on those -- obviously housing is a big component of this. >> yeah, thank you. so i just thought maybe i'd take a second and give you a little color on the negotiations that we've been undergoing. i pointed this out to the commission before, but it gets more important

of notre dame, so famous for this famous facade. we could still see the orange of the fire burning brightly inside. that appears now to have died down somewhat. what we are seeing through those windows now are the flashlights of the firefighters who have clearly managed to make their way inside. and the question will be now that they're inside the structure, whether they manage to get that fire fully under control. we've been told a short while ago that this hour would be absolutely crucial. and so they're in there trying to get the end of the fire under control in the heart of notre dame itself. also, to try and get an idea of how much damage has been done. but still, we're told, that the structural threat remains, because if those bells were to fall through, then there could be still some structural damage done to those towers. and there is still that threat that they might collapse. so still a very fluid situation, still a very dangerous situation. the crowds are still being kept back, well away by a police cordon that's been put

well they pretty much renewed violence and i believe that it was also kind of a facade a calm facade that the government thought that we have control and radical groups. beat islamists or. radical hindus or buddhists but the problems sister the problems do exist the divisions are there and say lanka and they have not gone away. and until the government the authorities just try to resolve these these issues the political divisions the economic conflict between the north and the south and various ethnic groups. there will be problems and we have it that it is not a peaceful country toadies have tried to portray in the past few years due to some has boosted in three lanka but probably it will go down after these attacks really tragic for sri lanka yeah i imagine that. in bonn thank you so much. thanks for having me on the show. now to some of the other stories making news around the world tripoli's only working airport has reopened after being hit by air strikes airport had been shut down amid two makes of fighting for the libyan capital forces loyal to strongman khalifa haftar have bee

the stone facades.the next week or two when tests are carried out to see whether or not that historic facade, whether stonework has been damaged, whether or not it's going to be too fragile to even think about rebuilding. total catastrophe has been avoided. just looking at all of these people around here, it's after midnight, tens of thousands still gathered here. just looking at this empty skyline. seamus, let's take advantage of the fact that you were there from the very beginning. we believe the works of art, the religious icons, countless artefacts that are within the cathedral. did you see any of that? interviewed by television station. some artefacts have been taken out. or by people who worked in the cathedral. have been taken out. or by people who worked in the cathedralm have been taken out. or by people who worked in the cathedral. it was closing early tonight. that may have been very, very lucky indeed. the tourists were on their way out. i know there was an official i heard talking in french

the two belltower's and facade have been saved. question now is about rebuilding this iconic site. rebuild notre dame because that is what the french people want. that is what our history deserves, because that is our destiny. it is truly one of those global icons. i don't know about you, but i have certainly been there and it is quite crushing to see those pictures. good day. nejra: good today. i certainly have been there. i took my mom to attend mass at the cathedral. a special icon for many people around the world. it is one of the most instagramed global sites, as well. a lot of people globally looking on yesterday with those fires ravaging more than 500 firefighters called to the site. something we will keep an eye on, especially with emmanuel macron's speech delayed today. now let's check in markets around the world. joining us in mumbai our reporter and in london, dani burger. indian shares at all-time highs. you are also looking at bond markets and earning season is underway. >> all of that. betweenntrasting themes what equ

these units especially will have quite a bit of glazing on the west faÇade, so we are also exploringifferent sustainable techniques with glass, whether we do photo chromatic, or we do shades or something, to kind of help with solar heat gain and with glare, but i think it will offer a really exciting opportunity to design the glass to be able to allow for views and also keep the solar heat gain down. all of these buildings are elevator -- have elevators as well. a similar layout where you have living, kitchen, dining on one floor, a master suite level, and then a floor of bedrooms and bathrooms. this is exemplary of what the view would be from your terrace looking out, and again, you have sweeping views of the city skyline and frontal views of the golden gate bridge. the three and four townhome parcels, we are anticipating starting construction on those in november of this year, so we will start all the grading work then, and stan january and february start the building construction. those buildings are anywhere from 11 months to 14 months of construction, so a bit shorter of a time

architect frank costello won the tender his design is based on the baroque original just the eastern facade is modern. but what are the new palace be used for that's an issue that sparked a lot of debate the idea that one in the end is to create a forum for world cultures housing berlin's extensive non european collections in tandem with the european art on the neighboring museum island. on board forum is named after the famous researcher and universal scholar at xander from whom booked . construction began in june two thousand and twelve the government is providing five hundred ninety million euros funding an extra one hundred million euros have been collected in donations to reconstruct the baroque for side. aside from the building itself the current focus is on the objects displayed inside restitution of colonial era artifacts is a matter of heated debate and one the new make him you see i'm contacting along. a gruesome murder carved in stone and discovered by chance in guatemala in the nineteenth century. incredible boats from oceania fit for the high seas but without a single nail. and

about notre dame is that rear where it seems to have begun is arguably as beautiful as the front facade, and there are so many obviously interior priceless works of art. i can remember we'll be right back there in the late '90s, early 2000s, where they had just redone the stained glass rose windows. so what we are seeing is horrifying. this is one of the most beautiful and important places in all of europe, and priceless works of art inside as well. >> one of my favorite places is near the back of the church where that fire is burning. there's a little park area and benches and just an area when you've been on your veet visiting paris, to rest and take in the flying buttresses there, which it's known for, and the very tranquil scene around notre dame. it's sad for all of us to watch it burn. we have that video of the spire collapsing. there was an audible grown from the crowd as that split in two and the top half falling into the flames. even the live pictures seem to know the fire, if only intensifying, even though firefighters outside this picture are pouring water on it. but there mu

peter rubin one of the deeds was trying to read the needle and throw the facade to say somehow this isthreatening rhetoric or make people feel unsafe which is ridiculous. we should not be playing into this absurd conceit. there are millions of students abroad in asia right now who are studying night and day for the privilege of attending an american college this alleged à of hatred. there are students of color, why do they want to come here? because they understand that american college today offers boundless opportunities, you can read every book that is ever been written. this is something that would have driven the renaissance humanist mad with envy and desire. yet these students are being taught to think of themselves as victims. it is educational malpractice. >> that was heather mac donald, author of "the diversity delusion: how race and gender corrupt the university and undermine our culture" on book tv. you can watch the rest of this program by visiting our website and searching heather mac donald book at the top of the page. you are watching booktv, here's our prime time lineup

just to imagine if that facade was to come down, too.t would be such a devastating loss for that city, the country and indeed the entire world. it's hard to overstate just how important a symbol that is for so many people, shep. >> shepard: jonathan, you wonder how in the world they'll be able to -- or what in the world they can salvage from this location. from the reports that we're getting all around, it appears that the wooden structure is gone. >> yeah. if you know the interior of it and as trace reported accurately, just how much wood is involved in that interior. you have to imagine the pretty much all of that is burned. you're just left with what is a partial shell of some of the stones there, shep. it's going to be absolutely devastating. you can put a financial figure on it obviously at some point. but it's not possible to put a price obviously on what it means to so many people. there's also a lot of questions asked, shep, about the response here. notre dame sitting on the little island in the middle. it is difficult to approac

indeed, it continues to threaten the very front part of that iconic facade. so famous worldwide as people continue to look on in horror at what is likely to prove to be the substantial damage that has been done tonight to notre dame. this historic monument, the most visited in europe. >> boy, it is just a haunting picture to see the beauty and everything that that cathedral represents back lit by fire. as literally parts are being burned to the ground right before our eyes. just to balance out what we are losing with what we have had, the beautiful benefit of for all these centuries, let's show you some of the iconic pictures from inside the cathedral. what we had. what may have been lost and what we'll need to work very hard and collectively in replacing. you're going to see the frescos, the architecture, what they're calling the knave. its organ. that organ is one of the most games organs in the world. the sound, the resonance, the beauty, the depictions of something greater above us all. that was the reason for the height, not just to show significance of
