Notre Dame cathedral on fire, spire reportedly collapsesA major fire has broken out at Paris's famous medieval Notre Dame cathedral, leading firefighters to evacuate the area around one of the city's most visited landmarks. How is this not rolling coverage? Why are we getting repeats of stories rather than this? What was it Israel said? God always has a plan. I’d like to hear this one reasoned away. Such a shame! I’ll be in Paris next week, and now I won’t get to see this beautiful building. PhilippeVilleneuve ok no stress.... You do not have to cry, the world belongs to God and not just a place. 🙏🏽🙌🏽🌎

EU agrees in principle to Brexit delay to stop no-deal on Friday | Sky News AustraliaTheresa May has visited Berlin and Paris as MPs in Westminster and Donald Tusk back her bid for a Brexit delay.\n\nThe EU has agreed to the extension of her deal, but has repeated that the Withdrawal Agreement is not up for negotiation again.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Theresa May should be removed as British Prime Minister. Democracy vote of the people doesn't matter anymore in the UK. It was a mistake for the Conservatives to put a Remainer in the role of dealing with Brexit in the first place which is why UKIP is now rising in the polls.
