“Hi it’s Jeanne, what does it say?”
This Monday, December 2, we are six days away from the reopening to the public of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral, ravaged by flames in 2019. Five years later, after long work with the expertise of 2,000 workers, architects, gilders, the building has been perfectly restored. Some people who have worked for several months, even years, gathered in a choir to say goodbye to Notre-Dame on December 11.
In Syria, after 11 years of war, the Syrian regime lost the city of Aleppo, the country's second city, during an offensive by a coalition between rebels and Islamists. Since the start of the civil war, more than 500,000 people have died.
The group Shaka Ponk disappears. The six members of the group decided by mutual agreement to stop their musical activity for ecological reasons. Their last concert took place this Saturday, after a 60-date tour which brought together more than 1.5 million spectators.
