Video transcript:
| 00:00 | This week hasn’t started out all that well. | |
| 00:03 | My eyes have just seen, as you have, what happened in Paris, to Notre-Dame. | |
| 00:10 | A pearl, a work of art, one of our symbols, on fire. | |
| 00:18 | And obviously it hurts. | |
| 00:22 | Words are never enough in such moments. | |
| 00:29 | Of course we will need to figure out why. | |
| 00:32 | Besides sympathizing with the Parisian people for what happened, we need to figure out | |
| 00:36 | how a well-known monument, praised by the entire of world, all of a sudden… whoosh. | |
| 00:50 | In few minutes it was devoured by flames… | |
| 00:53 | …because of the absence of safety or emergency systems. | |
| ***** | ||
| 00:00 | If tomorrow or in two or three days, another craft approaches | |
| 00:04 | Italian waters, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini won’t authorize its disembarkation. | |
| 00:12 | Besides, we are working on a directive that prevents ships | |
| 00:17 | from entering not only the ports, but also Italy’s territorial waters. | |
| 00:22 | As you need a ticket to go to the theater, a ticket to go to | |
| 00:25 | the stadium, you cannot get into a country unless you have the right to do so. |
There appears to be little security at Notre Dame.

This guy is marvelous. A strong representive for his own country. He puts Italians first. I like his style !
Have you noticed his surname? I wonder what Salvini means in Italian.
