frances: yep. i agree. [womanan speaking russian] [drum beating rhythmically; people singing] [helicopter approaching]g] [singing continues] frances: when they asked us to go down to the chopper and greet them, i didn't know who i was really greeting. and now that i've spent a few days with them, i think in a year's time, i get my passport, you know, visa, and whatever is required. we are gonna visit a couple of villagers there... weather permitting. the struggle through life, most of it is not all happy. i've gone through a great many things. but knowing ththat you had times where yourur heart w j just fufull... that helps you t to remember tht there's gonna be a better time ahead of you. . all up front today it will speak with the award winning bangladeshi photo journalist and activist tropical island on his recent imprisonment and the political climate under prime minister sheikh hasina. but first it's the biggest crisis of our time climate change but how do we tackle it or is it too late . climate chang

this is they don't it is life from birth in the church bells across france ring out in tribute to the north for down just minutes from that cathedral bells across the country will chime together expressing the solidarity of emotion of a nation still coming to terms with monday's devastating fire. i'm still going welcome to the program my words from across france will ring out in tributes to not shut down the country's beloved gothic cathedral was gutted by a massive fire on monday night president macro convened a special cabinet meeting today to discuss an ambitious reconstruction plan he says he wants the church restored to its former glory within five years well we're going to bring that to you live here on that date just ahead that's let's introduce you to our guests luke andre is a freelance journalist for the opinio and radio france and that been. responded lisa lewis has been reporting from paris during the last few days and joins us again from the french a couple outside not to welcome a both let's start with you lisa tell us a bit about what we'll go to see and hear over the n

as the emperor of france. eight hundred thirty one saw the publication of the famous novel the hunchback of notre dame by victor hugo it was a huge success and brought the cathedral new attention. now in twenty nineteen the unthinkable has happened the flames consuming not to done cathedral taking with them centuries of history. lots of history let's talk about the future of the sun's going to come up it's going to be the day after this tragedy what is paris going to do with that you know barbara was talking about the mayor is going to have to deal with the political blowback for what the response. by the fire department for example well there will be a lot to answer for indeed these forty five min is do they between the moment the fire broke and the for us intervention of firefighters is something that one cannot fathom in a capital city like paris where are we supposed to have firefighters who are trained for duck out of situations and we know that after the terrorist attacks that took place in paris they we

that is point zero of france. the marker against which everything else is calibrated. i imagine that appeal will be an easy one to launch. and have every prospect of success. the scale of the task should not be underestimated. the fabric of notre dame, like the fabric of many mediaeval cathedrals, has been deteriorating over a very, very long time. presumably it will be found to be one of the reasons why the building itself caught fire and has been so badly damaged. the potential for disaster has always been there in the steady deterioration over time. so an immense task lies ahead of france to restore this building because, of course, a proper restoration will need to restore the character of notre dame as it always has been and in the modern world, you know, finding people with the necessary skills in stone and woodwork to reproduce the glories of mediaeval europe will not be easy. it is an absolutely staggering scene behind you, the devastation. of course, you touched upon the yellow vest protest. they were due to regroup this weekend following on from what emmanuel

so he's very angry but how does a turkey's position affect its ties with france or france this position affect ties with its counterpart well this has been a long point of tension between these two countries when the french parliament a few years ago passed motion recognizing the armenian genocide turkey slapped sanctions on several french companies doing business in turkey we've seen none of that today it's just been mainly hard rhetoric and i think it's a recognition here in turkey that micron is using this to consolidate his base inside france while turkey here the president to with looking to bolster his support among turkish nationalists in the country at the moment is more about political handbags rather than any serious doubt that has happened in the past and another reason why turkey doesn't want to pick a trade fight with france is because the turkish economy is in such dire straits at the moment more political tension could threaten further economic turmoil in turkey or any signs that turkey will ever recognize the armenian genocide. i think that that is a long way off turkey

point zero of where all measurements in france are marked from. such an important building historically and religiously for french culture and we look at it now as those water cannons continue to pump water. in the last 30 minutes we had expected macron to speak about politics and address the yellow vest movement but instead he came here to thank the firefighters for the intense work they have done. translation: what has happened tonight in paris, in notre dame, is a terrible event. i want to first think the firefighters. 500 of whom have battled the flames for several hours and will keep doing so for several more and maybe for several days. they fought the blaze with extreme courage, professionalism and determination. and i want to convey thanks of an entire nation. thanks to their work, including support by the city of paris, and officials from notre dame, the worst has been avoided. even if the battle is not entirely won. yes, it is quite crucial to say that according to french firefighters, the stone structure is ok. it has been saved. the wor

of history it represents france. i feel like. it's just crying now it looks just to me. i feel the cathedral has been snatched away from. the. cultural heritage its front that's been hit today france is there any of us to do with. our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with what paris and the whole world lost today a massive fire gutted notre dame cathedral to see the catholic church this medieval monument to french gothic architecture has been a fundamental part of the parisian soul for almost a millennia or tonight it took only an hour for the flames to turn notre dame's wooden frame and its towering spire recognized the world over into a smoldering relic. a heart rending sight as the spire found striking at a symbol of french culture in the heart of paris. the massive blaze spread on words collapsing the roof and setting the wooden frame of the entire cathedral aflame. the alarm went off shortly before seven in the evening local time no saddam is burning spreading a brown black cloud across the sky her reasons and

what does notre dom symbolize to you and to the people of france and france is centralistic states is the main church of the main religion in france so it's it's a mystery call building it's the place as your correspondent said earlier in the program it's a place. where from celebrates and grief when the national religious service for the tour attacked back in fifteen. the royals he has these ties to go to his church every big event has been can be celebrated and famous personalities in france. obvious national service there when they die so. it's like a huge. also. a place that i've been. some writers of what we can think of victoria who for example one of the famous so it's it's a place to expect to be in the center of paris and. already. that's not all the building burned down yesterday so how do you see paris recovering from this because as you've illustrated there i mean this is often one of the places within paris where people do come when something traumatic were to happen in the city what i what i heard this morning some some expert said it will take forty to fifty years to re

frances perkins' work. how many of you know a 12-year-old who has quit going to school so that she can work full-time in a factory? frances perkins' work. her ban on child labor enacted in the fair labor standards act made it possible to keep kids in school longer instead of in mills and factories. let me start by telling you a little bit. it is awfully noisy here, but let me tell you a little bit. i want to read a little bit of the prologue from a book so that you know a little bit more about the breath of frances perkins' accomplishments. on a chilly february night in 1933, a middle-aged woman waited expectedly to meet with her employer at his residence on east 65th street in new york city. she clutched a scrap of paper with hastily-written notes. finally, ushered into his study, the woman brushed aside her nervousness and spoke confidently. they bantered casually for a while, as was their style, and then she turned serious. her dark, luminous eyes holding his gaze. he wanted her to take an assignment, bu

maybe even in france as a whole. jane: extraordary how quickly -- how much you take these landmarks for granted until something like this happens. knowing the area as you dowhy was it so difficult for firefighters to get to it? president trump suggested using planes with water cannons. why couldn't that happen yet go -- why couldn't thn? hap philip: that might have seemed like a logical thing to say at the time, but this is a whole different story here.th civil defense authority in france felt like it had to come out with a tweet written in english, the only one they wrote this whole evening in english, in which they described why that was simply not realistic, why no planes could flight above notre -- fly above notre dame cathedral and simply dumped tons of water on top of the spire. hese would have been tons of water and they woue destroyed this wooden structure in the end. it was simply too risk the french authorities. the president was wrong here. it seemed to be another one of his instinctive tweets. that is one

from a studio with me welcome to the program is the twenty third day of anti-government rallies in france as the so-called yellow gather again nationwide is the first time since the. blaze with protesters anger directed at the amounts of money donate. for repasts place in paris have used tear gas and water color and two hundred twenty seven people have been detained. oh. i i. i i. i. well we're now five months into the yellow vests protests and it feels like the tensions are just not abating again fires in the streets of paris as the protesters not only burnt rubbish bins but also were setting fire to move cause to move motorcycles and also again building barriers to try and protect them from the police and the place of being trying to disperse the crowds throughout the day using tear gas initially but they did bring water cannons later on water cannons not just spitting out water but also a blue liquid that liquid being used as a die which i will temporarily affect clothing and skin to allow the police to be able to ascertain who the violent protesters all who are in the way of the will

france doesn't have a ban on sending weapons to saudi arabia they've been going from france then on to saudi a similar things been happening with the cobra radar artillery targeting systems they've been sent to the united arab emirates along with software updates for the for that system as well eventually then reaching the the war in yemen and reaching saudi arabian military hands now opposition figures here in germany as you would imagine outraged at this seems like the government can't wait when it comes to producing weapons for the human who were alliance in light of the latest attacks and yemeni schoolchildren this is simply a shameless killing of jamal khashoggi inside the saudi consulate in istanbul prompted berlin to well council weapons sales to saudi arabia in fact the deal making sure that there would be no more deal was extended at the end of last month by the german government. and it's our flag and we demand that the participating company since this time the export ban to saudi arabia. the united everett and a very serious this period when dealing with their contract pr

god bless the people of france! i want to pick up on donald trump because a little earlier he suggested that perhaps flying water tankers could be used adding that people must act quickly but the french interior minister and civil service and crisis management service and crisis management service was quickly to tweet in english, not in french, that they we re english, not in french, that they were doing everything that they could to keep it under control except for water bombing aircraft because it could have collapsed the entire cathedral. pretty quick to review donald trump there. trump's predecessor barack 0bama said: notre dame is one of the world's great treasures. it's in our nature to mourn when we see history lost — but it's also in our nature to rebuild for tomorrow, as strong as we can. a statement from the vatican said: we express oui’ closeness to the french catholics and the population of paris, and assure you of our prayers for the firefighters. and officials at westminster abbey — here in the u

libya to what extent though would france be involved right now well actually this incident shows that. the french role could be actually more. into this crisis has a much larger role than what's generally believed about the russian's role in the current crisis and actually the french explanation to this i think they made things worse to say the. gods that they're providing protection for the other and we know the french ambassador is not really he's normally it isn't it's into these is intonated right reasons so what are we exactly the they are doing in libya why. in tunisia the so there should be in tunisia another in libya so we know that france hasn't really hidden that it supports highly for have tar but what do we know as for us far is the extent of the support what are they providing him with is it military equipment is it advice or what do we know about the extent of the thanks yeah well that's the question again as you said that france is known to support. but the question is that you know the extent of the support are we talking about on the diplomatic support because that's

god bless the people of france! his predecessor barack obama said: notre dame is one of the world's great treasures. it's in our nature to mourn when we see history lost — but it's also in our nature to rebuild for tomorrow, as strong as we can. a statement from the vatican said: we express our closeness to the french catholics and the population of paris, and assure you of our prayers for the firefighters. and officials at westminster abbey here in the uk tweeted: devastated for our friends at notre dame and for the people of france. you are in our thoughts and prayers tonight. president emmanuel macron was supposed to be addressing the nation on the constant protests by the yellow vest movement. instead he cancelled that and went to see the devastation for himself. translation: what has happened tonight in paris, in notre dame, is a terrible event. i want to first think the firefighters. 500 of whom have battled the flames for several hours and will keep doing so for several more and maybe for several days. they

business with vaccine mind france the french government is saying that an extension is by no means a done deal they're very aware that it could create further uncertainties for businesses around the continent so right now there's still that deadline of next friday where the european where the u.k. would leave the u. without a deal unless they get this extension next week so that really will be crucial thank you. time for short break here al-jazeera when we come back. within six months we will see one of the great humanitarian crisis in the world u.s. politicians invoke never before used powers to call for an end to american support for the saudi american who are in yemen and zooming into their everyday lives south koreans become the first in the world with five speed on their mobile phones more on the stay with us. however we've got a good mobile phone i weather across japan at the moment but some places of cloud are rolling for the save japan easing across on shoe q.c. latest weather systems now pushing up into hokkaido wind and rain coming through here but it will sweep through spo

of your nation, of france. and you seem to ignore the fact that amongst the gilets jaunes in recent weeks we have seen examples of outright violence, we've seen racism, we've seen homophobia, taunting of gay people, of black people, of muslims. you had your own life blighted by such horrible abuse and discrimination and now you to be forgiving it from the gilets jaunes. no, no, i'm very sensible to these things. because as a gay man, for me, it's very important. but also the things — for me it's two separate things. if there are some racist people among the lgbt movement, for example, i am part of the lgbt movement. i am demonstrating for lgbt people very often, but if there are racist people among the lgbt movement you won't say we have to fight against the lgbt movement, you will say we have to fight against racism, you know. if there are some racist people among the feminist movement, what we have to say is we have to fight against racism, not we have to fight against feminism, you know. and so why does it

france has long been criticized for supplying weapons to saudi arabia human rights charity said time and time again told the government that those weapons are being used to bomb schools hospitals and other civilian targets exacerbating the crisis in yemen a war that's left thousands dead and pushed millions to the brink of starvation the u.n. has even called what's happening in yemen the world's worst humanitarian crisis. you get. the best. you can. leave. to o.e. . but france has always hit back saying the weapons that it sells to saudi arabia only used offensively to defer attacks by the p.c.'s i'm not aware the french weapons of the news directly. except that now appears to be contradicted by a classified note by the french military intelligence service uncovered following an investigation by a media outlet called disclose it true feels french weapons sold to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates are being used in the war in yemen but when pressed again in light of this new evidence the government's once again offered denials to our knowledge the french weapons available to th

iam not only in france but round the world. i am joined not only in france but round the world. iamjoined by not only in france but round the world. i am joined by our paris correspondent. what can you tell us now of whether the flames are coming under control. i am standing where i have been standing for the last hour and a half looking aghast at the scenes in front of me. the fire is clea rlies past its scenes in front of me. the fire is clearlies past its worse, an hour or so clearlies past its worse, an hour or so ago there were massive flames, a furnace burning on the roof of the building. consuming the whole of the raf culminating in the collapse of the fire now, since then the roof has been completely erased and what was from my view an elevation of roof, above the parapet of the stone wall has gone and the top is parret of the stone wall and as the zie turns to a dark violet, there is an orange glow mixing with the blue, dark blue above the wall of the cathedral, as occasional licks of flame still come up and smoke, but a lighter smoke billows round. there are teams who

italy france the u.a.e. in egypt so they congratulate him on his last military offensive he illegally occupied the oil installations in the south and and then immediately gave them going to gave symbolic allegiance to the national oil corporation in tripoli is that as ok to do so in that respect i think he enjoys so much military support and again it's this kind of smoke and mirrors that most of the international community have engaged in they give this overt kind of public support to the u.n. by the government but only yesterday the minister of interior in tripoli for had said that in eastern libya had received an arms shipment from the u.a.e. and i think they're very very happy with what is currently going on because there is only just arrived yesterday into cairo to go meet with president sisi after an aborted trip to russia to go in with president putin so he's engaging these international actors that have no skin in the game so avoiding deflect attention from the very very actors the real actors that ha

it is clearly a way to bring people together within france. franance, like many cocountries acacross thehe globe, are goingo experience a set of really difficult decisions, , to really point out a pararadox o of the meaning of a cultural symbol like this -- which will demand attention right away. i hope there can be ways to navigate this situation, to have people of memeans donate as they this as to really take a moment where we can evaluate whwhat it means for all of us to come t together r as a communitn the ways in which cultural symbols produce for cultural unitity, really can function in that w way. i think the rebuilding campapain will determine the sleep report. amy: anne lester, thank you for being with us, associate professor of medieval history at johns hopkins university. the relics they saved i understand will now be on display at the louvre as they rebuild the notre dame cathedral. whenen we come back, omar barghouti joins us, the trump administration did not allow him into the united states, but we break the sound barrier with hi
