PARIS — A “computer glitch” may have been behind the fast-spreading fire that ravaged Notre Dame, the cathedral’s rector said Friday, as architects and construction workers tried to figure out how to stabilize the damaged structure and protect it from the elements. Over $1 billion has already poured in from people from all walks of life around the world to restore Notre Dame. The Notre Dame fire delayed Macron’s long-awaited plans to quell anti-government protests that have marred his presidency. That advance puts him back at the support level of September, before the yellow vest crisis, BVA said. Despite the destruction of Notre Dame dominating the news in France, a new round of yellow vest protests is planned on Saturday across the country, including in Paris.
