Mario Testino: Church fire 'a tragic loss for Peru'
A fire has ruined the inside of the famous church of San Sebastian in the city of Cuzco, Peru. Authorities have said that the fire was probably caused by an electrical short circuit. Peruvian fashion photographer and President of the World Monuments Fund Peru, Mario Testino, recorded a message for Newshour, calling the fire “a tragic loss for Peru.” Owen Bennett-Jones also spoke to Peruvian journalist Javier Farje about the significance of the church.
