We’re covering the aftermath of the Notre-Dame cathedral fire, the election of the first woman to lead the European Commission and technical problems with Europe’s answer to GPS. By William Lamb A fire engulfed the upper reaches of the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris on April 15. Benoit Tessier/Reuters Saving Notre-Dame It has been three months since a fire consumed the wooden attic and toppled the 300-foot spire atop the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris. Since then, The New York Times has conducted scores of interviews and reviewed hundreds of documents to [reconstruct the missteps and how the cathedral was saved](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfETDXP4QEAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2ludGVyYWN0aXZlLzIwMTkvMDcvMTYvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL25vdHJlLWRhbWUuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJFX3BfMjAxOTA3MTcmc2VjdGlvbj10b3BOZXdzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwOTU1JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUyNzQmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUydGlvbj10b3BOZXdzVwNueXRCCgAh16suXdRy-4NSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). What became clear is just how close the cathedral came to collapsing. What happened: A guard who responded to the fire went to the wrong building and found nothing. By the time the guard and a fire security company employee realized the mistake, the fire had been burning for more than 30 minutes. Fighting the fire: Disadvantaged by their late start, firefighters rushed up the 300 steps to the attic only to be forced to retreat. Finally, a small group was sent directly into the flames in a desperate effort to save the cathedral. The fallout: A bitter round of finger-pointing continues over who was responsible for allowing the fire to rage unchecked for so long. The questions are at the heart of an investigation by the French authorities that will continue for months. Ursula von der Leyen at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, on Tuesday.

Ms. von der Leyen, 60, the German defense minister, will begin her five-year term as European Commission president in November. She struck a triumphant and conciliatory tone in her acceptance speech: “The trust you place in me is confidence you place in Europe, confidence in a united and strong Europe, from east to west, from south to north.” The job: Ms. von der Leyen will advance the bloc’s interests in trade talks, and she will oversee Brexit — one of the messiest and most painful events for the E.U. since it was conceived in the aftermath of World War II. Big picture: She will take on the role as the E.U. is increasingly caught in global trade and ideological struggles involving Russia, China, the U.S. and Iran. It also faces internal divisions stoked by rising nationalism. Election: Ms. von der Leyen emerged as a candidate only after the two top contenders faced implacable opposition. A member of the center-right Christian Democratic Union, she won support from the left by promising a minimum wage and a path to a carbon-neutral Europe. Four Galileo satellites were aboard the Ariane 5 rocket launched at the European Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana, last year. Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Europe’s answer to GPS goes out Galileo, the E.U.’s satellite navigation program, [has been mostly down since Thursday](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfETDXP0T8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNy8xNi93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvZ2FsaWxlby1vdXRhZ2UuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJFX3BfMjAxOTA3MTcmc2VjdGlvbj10b3BOZXdzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwOTU1JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUyNzQmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUydGlvbj10b3BOZXdzVwNueXRCCgAh16suXdRy-4NSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) — the latest mishap to befall the program since it began running in a pilot phase in late 2016. The E.U. had billed Galileo as more robust, precise and reliable than GPS — and a way to end the bloc’s reliance on a system controlled by the U.S. military. But technical problems have raised questions over whether new satellite launches should be paused until experts find the cause of the failures. The response: The E.U. has said that a technical incident related to the system’s ground infrastructure led to an interruption in its navigation and timing services. There was no word on when most services would be running again. Impact: Users are unlikely to have noticed the outage because phones and other devices are programmed to use Galileo in conjunction with other services, such as GPS, Russia’s Glonass and China’s Beidou. If you have 10 minutes, this is worth it In Canada, a disaster and empty promises Paul Chiasson/The Canadian Press, via Associated Press Six years ago, a runaway cargo train carrying more than a million gallons of fuel hurtled into the center of downtown Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, derailed and exploded, killing 47 people. The disaster, pictured above, outraged Canadians and shined a light on the growing number of freight trains that rumble through the country’s urban centers while carrying dangerous goods. The government vowed to fix the problem.
