From the newsroom of the Washington Post.

I'm Kevin. This is Kriya, I'll tell you the Washington Post. How are you?

Hi there. It's Simon.

Hey, it's Dave Ferrentino from Post. Have you got a second post?

This is Post Reports. I'm Martine Powers.

It's Tuesday, April 16th.

Today, what's next for Noche Vodom?

Conspiracy theories move to mainstream YouTube and an enduring pop hit turned 20.

All of these great ethiebrals took centuries to build and in many ways they were never finished.

This is Philip Kennecott. He's the post senior art and architecture critic.

I've been in Notre Dame many times and at the time I got the news, I was in this little town of Siena in Italy

and you could hear people talking about Notre Dame in Paris. It was on the lips of everyone here.

Perhaps because there is another great cathedral here and people live in the shadow of it and they understand

the way in which these buildings become a part of the monumental and the built in the symbolic landscape.

There are many other great French cathedrals but Notre Dame has in many ways been kind of the symbolic heart of French religious life.

The religious sets a very center of Paris. It's on an island in the middle of the Sien and the river.

And that was kind of the beginnings of Paris historically. And when you think of Paris, sort of the glamorous Paris of the 19th century,

it really sort of begins and surrounds Notre Dame.

On Tuesday, firefighters assess the damage caused by the massive fire at Notre Dame, a fire that they think was caused by construction work.

Many of the cathedrals, most famous pieces of art were saved. Some of them had been put in storage prior to renovations

and then others were saved by first responders. They formed a human chain to carry relics out of the cathedral.

And they managed to rescue the crown of thorns believed to have been worn by Jesus on the cross.
