Notre-Dame fire: Work starts to remove melted scaffolding

The delicate work of removing melted scaffolding from Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris has got under way.

Teams hanging from ropes 40 to 50 metres (130-164ft) in the air will be using electric saws to carve away the encrusted material piece by piece.
The building is still not entirely out of danger and only when this operation is finished in three or four months' time can they start thinking about the real response to the disaster: reconstruction and maybe redesign.
