Restored Notre-Dame Cathedral reopens, five years after fire
PARIS (Reuters) -The Archbishop of Paris, Laurent Ulrich, struck the doors of Notre-Dame three times with his crozier, and a psalm was sung inside in response, at a ceremony on Saturday to mark the reopening of the newly restored cathedral. Minutes earlier, the cathedral's bells rang out and French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed guests including U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, five-and-a-half years after a huge fire brought the 860-year-old building close to collapse. Getting Trump to attend, and organising a meeting between him and Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy at the Elysee Palace ahead of the Notre-Dame ceremony, was a coup for Macron as he faces a political crisis at home, after parliament ousted his prime minister.

Syrian rebels battle for Homs and advance on Damascus, Assad's rule at stake
AMMAN/BEIRUT (Reuters) -Syrian rebels battled government forces for control of the key city of Homs on Saturday and advanced towards the capital Damascus as front lines collapsed across the country, throwing President Bashar al-Assad's 24-year rule into the balance. Since the rebels' sweep into Aleppo a week ago, government defences have crumbled at dizzying speed as insurgents seized a string of major cities and rose up in places where the rebellion had long seemed over. The twin threats to strategically vital Homs and the capital Damascus now pose an existential danger to the Assad dynasty's five-decade reign over Syria and the continued influence there of its main regional backer Iran.
