Notre Dame row:

Tensions are high in the reconstruction project for France's Notre Dame cathedral after an Army general appointed by President Emmanuel Macron has told an architect fighting for the original spire design to "shut his mouth."

It's not a fight you expect to see very often, but the reconstruction of the fire-gutted Notre Dame cathedral has led to a showdown between the chief architect and General Jean-Louis Georgelin, appointed by French President Emmanuel Macron to pilot the restoration project.

Chief architect Philippe Villeneuve has been faced with an ambitious five-year deadline to restore the famed cathedral's interior, roof, and the iconic spire completely destroyed in the April blaze.
