Finally, some good news. The towers of #NotreDame have been saved.
Source: actu17.fr
Two thirds of the roof has been destroyed.
Le monde suggests the crown of thorns and the shirt of St. Louis might have been saved but little is known about the vault, the windows and the artworks within the building.

The only thing which is surprising about Labour’s embrace of a more muscular environmentalism is that it’s taken so long to come about. Compared to the activities of @AOC, Green New Deal etc they’ve been relatively muted.
For example, I’d be surprised if you can name the party’s environment spokesperson. Which given how central environmentalism has become to new left politics across the world, seems rather odd.
Still, with locals and European elections looming and a frustrated base chafing at the party’s Brexit policy, this isn’t bad politics.

Extraordinary poll. It took UKIP twenty years to top the European elections. The Brexit Party might do it in less than twenty weeks.
The Tories could plunge lower still. Looks likely to me they will experience their worst national election result in history.
And despite it all I still cannot get my head around the number of remainers I speak to who actually think there will still be a referendum if the Brexit party comes first.

I’ve just got back to London off holiday. To this.

TO THIS.
I could have been and returned at any point between mid-January and now and it would have always been this.
Now watching one of the more toxic question times I’ve seen in a while (and that’s saying something). Not sure I should have come back...

1) OK let's look into what happened today.
2) A lot of people are sharing information and I have some thoughts of my own.
3) Just right off the bat, it seems like whoever did this is being fairly obvious about it.

#NotreDame is "just" a building, of course -- but it's one that represents the work and lives of thousands of people. It survived the French Revolution and two World Wars. It has inspired generations of artists. Being inside it is awe-inspiring in the truest sense.
It took 100 years to build #NotreDame -- and it has been under continuous improvement/renovation ever since. The history of the organ alone is incredible. Some of the finest instrument designers humanity has ever produced have had a hand in building it over centuries.
#NotreDame's rose windows date back eight centuries -- some still containing the original stained glass. The south window -- the one you see in pictures from the plaza between the two towers -- has been repeatedly damaged and restored over the years.

🔥💔#NotreDame cathedral in the heart of #Paris on the Île de la Cité appears fully engulfed in flames. Fire broke out 7am, police say, perhaps from renovation work. Height of French Catholicism & gothic architecture, around for 856 yrs. Home of fabled Hunchback. Ahead of Easter.
Historic #NotreDame spire has collapsed and the cathedral’s back roof is engulfed in flames. Earlier report said fire began at 7am, tho likely 7pm. It’s 8:30pm in Paris. Reporters say it appears out of control, violent and moving quickly toward the iconic gothic facade. Tragic.💔
🔥Paris deputy mayor says #NotreDame suffered “colossal damages” in fire that began in spire. First responders now trying to salvage art and other priceless pieces in storage. Cathedral spox said entire wooden interior is burning & likely to be destroyed💔apnews.com/a0fbb1d19f7a44…

Notre-Dame Cathedral on fire
"Went for a walk and see this... this is so sad"
"A landmark such as the #NotreDame is a prime target for continued Religious warfare in today’s unstable world. This was an attack on Christianity, not just #Paris!!!"
