A very good afternoon to you all out there from us here at Meditravelist in Istanbul Turkey, time to catch up on news around the world reporting events as they happen or just happened, today we will go across to Paris where French firefighters have won an hours long battle to save the main structure of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, after a colossal fire caused the spire of the historic edifice to crash to the ground and wiped out centuries of heritage.
