The historic vicarage in Kempele, northern Finland, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday evening, local media reported.

Another theme in the news on Tuesday has been the safety of churches, following the fire of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France.

The reason for the vicarage fire has not been reported. The vicarage was empty as repairs were to start. The building from 1899 is a two-storey heavy logs construction typical of the area.

In Finland, several fires of religious buildings have been lit on purpose. In 2006, an arsonist burnt the Porvoo cathedral in southern Finland, and in 2016 the wooden church from the 18th century in Ylivieska, western Finland, was also lit on purpose.

President Trump on Tuesday vetoed a bill calling for the U.S. to withdraw support from the Saudi-led war in Yemen, the White House said.

In a letter to the Senate, Trump called the measure “a dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future.”

The Senate passed the bill, which tried to use the 1973 War Powers Resolution to end American involvement in the Yemeni civil war, in March.

The House followed suit on April 4, and sent the measure to Trump’s desk. His veto Tuesday is the second of his presidency.
