Notre Dame will be rebuilt after major fire - French President

The French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron has addressed the nation for the first time since the fire broke out at the Notre Dame cathedral yesterday, saying it will be rebuilt and it will be even better than before. French business leaders have pledged more than a billion NZ dollars for the reconstruction of the cathedral. The fire, which was fully extinguished 15 hours after it began, ravaged the 850-year-old building's roof and caused its spire to collapse. Our correspondent in Paris is Peter Allen.
