you know this this statement of unesco's that they are standing by france this is obviously if there's any hope to be had at this time it's that unesco and the french government are already thinking ahead they're already thinking how are they going to rebuild. when this is over and like i said if there is any source of hope here it is that this building has seen a lot of damage before the huguenots ransacked it centuries ago it was desecrated in the french revolution and there has always been this will to rebuild. so as christians particularly catholics have just celebrated palm sunday they're coming up on easter the celebration of redemption of rebirth perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope right now obviously we're looking at absolute devastation you know. that was david ludwig from used culture desk speaking with me earlier. or here in germany volkswagens diesel gate scandal it is a criminal investigation that has reached the very top of the karmic today german prosecutors charge former c.e.o. of intercourse with fraud he is one of five people suspected of approving software which

and attention is turning to renovation and reconstruction. joining us from unesco's paris headquatersess the damage to the cathedral? i don't think we have any sound. we will carry on with that conversation if we can bring it to you. but we did hear president macron saying this evening that the process will start and he described paris as a nation of builders and we know that the money is there. i think we can return to that interview. sorry, we had a technical issue. do you know how damaged the building is, do you —— can you tell? how damaged the building is, do you -- can you tell? they are doing the assessment, the government of france, as you know, two thirds of the cathedral was on fire. they are doing everything that they can to assess what are the damages but first is most important that the pa rt first is most important that the part that has not collapsed is all right to continue to do these assessments. and tomorrow, they will continue to do this. you will get safety assessments carried out and then what sort of work will go on inside the cathedral, in the first few days? th

both bodies created by unesco.these huge networks are very, very specialised experts. but, mind you, we may not be able to go into the site immediately because it is very dangerous after the fire and in the case of rio we had to wait for two weeks. from what you have been able to glean so far, can you tell us what has been lost and the key things that are being looked at and thought about what has been saved? from what you see from the outside, about two thirds of the roof was lost and that means damage inside because of the fire, which went into the site, but a number of objects have been rescued by the teams. and also, i hope that this situation is not as serious as we imagined inside, but this we need to assess with the experts coming and being at the disposal of the french authorities. what about the stained glass? yes, that is one of the issues because when you have a fire, the heat, the glass can break, and this is one of the things we need to immediately check to see what can be rescued of the existing glass

i am with the unesco head of municipals.er this week we were taking a look at the muni treasury ratio. what is driving the outperformance? guest: thanks for having me. i think the most thing is demand from the retail side. investors were a little bit confused last year. we didn't know what the fed was doing. we didn't know about midterm elections. now all of those questions are kind of answered, and money is coming strongly into the muni market from the individual investor. ,hey are supporting the market buying individual bonds, and i think investors are realizing that taxes might still be a little higher than they thought, and they are going into the tax-exempt portion of the market very hard. i think investors will continue to put money into this asset class for quite some this year. taylor: when you talk about support, we just came off of a great first quarter, one of the best since 2014. and then you mentioned taxes. usually it is a weak time for the market. did you think that tax deduction will help boost the market goi

this is why the united states has pulled out of the un human rights council and unesco because of the hostility all these organizations towards the state of israel. this hostility is unacceptable to the united states and it is interesting this is the second time we withdrew from unesco, the obama administration rejoined it and i think it was a principal thing to do. what we are talking about is in stark contrast to president obama who might be the ultimate foreign-policy established president who ran a foreign- policy of apology tours leading from behind in the middle east. strategic patients on north korea and ultimatums that were repeatedly set for parties in the middle east and russia that were just made and ignored. you see when the u.s. does this we lose credibility, we are emboldening and encouraging rogue states to engage in more belligerent and destabilizing behavior. the approach by president donald trump leaves our enemies worried, leaves them guessing it has led to some significant advances in promoting international security. if we have a credible and decisive u.s. preside
