To do theres no money at all weve always trained for all kinds of catastrophes but when we saw the roof on fire for real it was Something Else suppose you could be a priest it was reading the gospel. There were twelve because it put the first part of the inside of a cathedral that if we dont have a president stress whats really important is a total michael as i said to the people of france an approach that will never be too much money. Also coming up tonight the ballot counting looks good for indonesias president a successful Reelection Campaign but even on election day there was no hiding the countrys politics of division. What i say to all my supporters remain calm and you not be provoked to take violent action. On guard the ballot box because the ballot box is the key to our victory that. Led to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all the round the world welcome we begin the day with the firefighters from notre dame at this very moment two days ago firefighters in paris were in the middle of what they say was the most difficult fight of their lives battling a nine hour blaze which eventually gutted the roof of the church and brought down its Nineteenth Century spire once a day those men and women gave their first accounts to the public telling of the horror that they had trained for and then came face to face with on monday evening there were uncomfortable questions today more they too slow in responding why did it take two fire alarms before anyone noticed the flames well those firefighters today denied being slow they said they responded quickly and were prepared adding that their training allowed them to save many artifacts and they insisted that they were the only thing standing between the flames and a total loss of notre dame. It dont double up i guess whom the wind was finding the fire so the Brigade Commander had to take Decisive Action if we sent a team to tackle the fire by the towers and comodo that it was spreading by the northern tower near the bells there supporting beams are made of wood if the fire had reached it the tower would have been lost to mr bill simple mind if wed lost the battle for the towers then we would have lost to the cathedral of yuma mole bay everything would have collapsed in a domino effect like that is such a close call on monday evening in paris im joined tonight by wolf gong they had no he is chief restoration architect for the vienna can see drill known as st stephens he joins me tonight from the austrian capital mr that its good to have you on this show you have heard the accounts from those firefighters in paris today just like the rest what is your reaction to what they said today well of course ive heard yes and i can imagine that this was the heaviest stroke they havent had to do it because its such a complicated building and of course to have a spire that reaches up almost two hundred meters buff the earth. Will live normally equipment is not made for this and of course there is another component the. Mythological meaning of such a building the symbolic meaning that makes it even more difficult i think to to handle all these cases do you agree that the cathedral had a very close call on monday evening with with total destruction. Yes when i saw first the pictures i was really afraid that the big fire in the center of the cathedral built fall down and really it did and at this moment i thought it would really destroy all the vaults in the fire would get into the cathedral and now we know that it did destroy a little part of the vaults but the fire did not really go into the interior of the house and when were you were you surprised that the damage was not more extensive. I was not surprised because in my opinion the damage was enough is really a lot of destruction if the whole roof this burned and its biggest spire of the cathedral is totally destroyed but fortunately the main structure of the gothic Stone Building seems to be in not such a bed situation but of course its possible that theyve discover more damages from the fire that has not destroyed the stone but we can distance and has some problems that may be found later on id like for you to take a listen to what the firefighters said today about the burning roof of the cathedral take a listen as you get us off to school said it to him it was a catastrophe and weve always trained for all kinds of catastrophes but when we saw the roof on fire for real it was Something Else. We tried to intervene very quickly without even though we knew that such a huge fire would almost certainly destroy the roof and then us when we did the boston. They paint their a horror scenario and i want to ask you after seeing what happened at notre dame monday are you asking yourself more often could this happen to us in vienna. Of course we suddenly. Fault all of the possible problems that would have and and actually we have already planned a project of improving the fire Warning System in our roof but actually dave cathedral has lost its wooden structure already in the last days of World War Two where one thousand and two hundred tons of large would totally and also roof construction fell into the trench and we also had to fight inside so now we have a Steel Construction on the roof so this big fire probably would not happen to us but we all listen. To improve our. Systems to prevent holes will small of fires of course and i want to ask you about this this goal of rebuilding the french president mr macro and he wants to do that within five years theres also been International Competition for a design to replace the spire which collapsed what do you think about that the you know the International Competition and also this five year deadline well i think that its a very ambitious to try to get this in five years in the other hand im glad that such a mighty person assist the french president. Presents this goal and i hope david can do it if they if the. Force isnt strong dedication we feel now we lost on i think this would be possible also some resource works maybe the last four decades but in five years i think it could be possible to have the cathedral in. Good shape so visitors and mrs could be held inside as it was before do you think that paris could learn something from vienna when it comes to replacing the roof because now that the wooden roof. Is gone they have to think about a twenty First Century replacement would you advise them to do what was done in vienna and to think about maybe have steel in steel beams or Something Like that as a good replacement well i think its not full season to advise them and in france they have good specialists and good technicians and david make i am sure good decisions for this i could just tell them if they would like to hear how it was stunning vienna because the i think did a good job indys difficult times we placing the route in construction with an iron construction which only has half the weight of the old construction and the other half wait they invested in a horizontal concrete layer which protects the vaults. To the roof construction so we have the same total weight on the walls because the weight of the roof is also important for vaults to be stabilized i think that was a good job but maybe today seventy years later they have even better ideas i would be happy to be asked but i think the we. Where they may ask their best. I mean this is a if you are youre the chair of the European Federation of cathedral architects do you anticipate that maybe they mean you know be calling you or knocking on your door asking for some professional and friendly advice. I think this is possible and of course we will do this also some other members of our European Union of course declared that they would be happy to help also with maybe manpower freestore us or stonemasons as we have to i mean practice. But still i want to say that in france they have a lot of capacity for that but it is also to have international contacts. That is a very good point. Chief restoration architect for the cathedral mr we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight and sharing your insights if you do do some work from there please let us know well talk with you again thank you thank you good evening. My mom here farda my privacy but. I feel very grave because that is that we have a right a dual appoint. President to another term for Election Results to give the. Fifty five percent of the vote of his rival the former general. It is. Anything but sweet for indonesias reputation as a Pluralistic Society tolerant muslim majority. More on the cost of indonesias identity politics. Todays elections were in many ways a celebration of indonesia as a young democracy and the voters i spoke to here at this polling station one of more than eight hundred thousand across the country told me that they were proud to be taking part in deciding the next five years now this election was largely a referendum on the performance of current president. In particular his economic policies he campaigned on his work improving infrastructure and hoped that the economic figures that the reduction in the rate of poverty and the Strong Economy would help give him another five years but in the background another debate was taking place this over the role of religion based identity politics many were concerns that a win for his competitor. Would be a move in a direction away from a pluralist democracy that welcomes all forms of religion but voters here today have had their say and have decided to give joko widodo another five. Years to carry out his policies that was clear richardson reporting there im joined now by my colleague videotape ligo and zipper the shes the head of w. s Indonesian Service good evening to you video the official results we understand wont be announced until next month in may but it looks like well win reelection and can we say tonight with a fair amount of certainty that he will keep his joe well like in the reports show it is the numbers are on fifty five forty five or fifty three forty four at least thats what i saw so its like eight to nine percent more for its flora jerkily and thats higher than the election in two thousand and fourteen then he got to run four to five percent but this result is also actually not really surprising since all of the surveys conducted before the election already predicted him as the winner even some of the survey said that hes just out more than ten percent trouble but we must remember its still not the official numbers the Indonesian Election Commission k p u v announced it in may and then we would know for sure but it is unlikely that the number of the change you know because this is the first time a president ial election in tunisia and before the years the outcome of the preliminary vote guns will always similar to the official results so i would say its not going to change again to me and what about the to the device of the things i did the politics that we saw during the campaign both candidates really tried to reach out to conservative islamic voters in their campaigns how much of an issue was is low in this election. Theres no way out of saying it but islam is really quite a big issue at this election you know like indonesia is the most muslim people in the country and also like ninety seven percent of indonesian people are muslim so both parties is for sure tries to get the votes and most of this time for the conservatives muslims i would say basically problems to be uncle of through himself to that will take them to the group to get the votes that will be due to hasnt got a boys playing the religion card and i must say its actually he managed to get the young conservative muslim behind him like five years ago where you got the votes and took with choice of running mate modified if this way to keep up with problems strategy. Three true is modified i mean its not actually what peaceful of us wanted it was basically a surprise because i mean it was a man who had center his friend you know recipe to have pretty much a prison for blasphemy in two thousand and seventeen actually wrote an actually fit it didnt sit degrees of reform his brand and its contradictory his stance on advocating religious freedom what about. Moving forward now he has obviously made promises to you know conservative muslims is he going to have to deliver a move or his policy is going to have to reflect this i dont know what hes planning but the critics say its like if i may say a the critic says a lot of bad Economic Policy like you said before. And but mostly people also think about the human rights issue as. You know to has an extremely. Good luck to you from a system isnt full of errors five years ago you know like you signing off on executions by firing squad and he violets you have to govern confront a country mess killings so lets just hope that he actually is going to do it regarding having the conservative muslim backing him that he really is still going to tackle the human rights issues that needs to be done immediately after his last legacy if his last term yes we definitely will see in this upcoming term videotape the go woodchipper of the head of the w. s Indonesian Service thank you. It is spring here in the Northern Hemisphere that means trees and flowers are in bloom like the Cherry Blossoms in japan in mexico jacaranda tree are in bloom right now a beautiful sight to see and its all thanks to a japanese gardener who wanted to emulate his home countrys springtime cherry blossom. This plenty of violet petals lying on the streets of mexico city right now but the cleaners here dont seem bothered by the extra workload spring has a bribed and everyones and a good mood whatever can do. Everyone thinks the jacaranda trees are sort of beautiful when the wind blows the flowers from the trees people love to take far as hers. Pockets of violence have been blooming across the city since mid march. Jacaranda trees are not native to mexico of only been here since the nineteenth thirties a japanese gotten a name to tell to go to matsumoto brought the tree from brazil after trying and failing to cultivate the japanese cherry tree since then the violet has only added to the countrys colorful landscape. But on the slope of this color is something fundamental to our culture. And this south american tree is now deeply rooted in that culture. Among less than. The residents of the mexican capital stuff becomes something more than just a Beautiful Tree up but a little. For us they are an important symbol in these times i mean heavy debate about migration they show Us Immigration can be enriching to both peoples lives and cultures and i mean. The explosion of violent color only lasts a few weeks then straight clean a diegos daily workload will go back to normal. For it to south korea now where your age is just a number and still South Koreans traditionally determine a persons age by starting from the day that a child is born and then adding a year to that a newborn for example automatically is one year old then turns to the following year for example but now its a method that is increasingly causing well you might imagine confusion you know someone celebrating one hundred days and said that but him in south korea shes already two years old she was born meant she was born on new years eve a few hours later she was enough. When i let my friends know that our daughter was born on december thirty first. Some of my playful friends joked about my baby becoming two years old only hours after her birth. That being in that situation i didnt know whether to laugh or cry. While South Koreans are accustomed to this unusual method of age calculation many critics say the tradition is out of date you know make a one to home and started a campaign to abolish it. There are a number of ways of counting a page in our country. People find it so confusing. No there are at least four different ways of counting a. Wouldnt do south korea is the only country in the world that doesnt like this. You dont. Have the insults mother says this system puts her daughter that its a disadvantage. She cannot flip side of the mike other babies have a born earlier in the same year and when she stops going to a Daycare Center there will be a fast difference between all child and doubters in terms of physical and intellectual gross then yet hides out which actually concerns that little human soul this blissfully unaware of at least from the.
