Notre Dame blaze likely caused by electrical fault

A team investigating the fire at Notre Dame in Paris think an electrical short-circuit was the most likely cause.

The cathedral was gutted by the blaze which broke out on Monday evening.

Hundreds of millions of euros has already been pledged for the restoration.

Firefighters say the 12th Century building came within "15 to 30" minutes of complete destruction.
