in jordan women who receive death threats from their families maybe put in prison for ostensibly for their own protection but that's caused an uproar so now the government set up shelters where at least some women can live. it's been years since mona last saw her husband but the abuse she suffered at his hand is still fresh in her mind. when the beating got really bad i would run away to the neighbors on my husband suspected i was having an affair with my neighbor so he beat me again and strangled me with authorities feared men as husband might kill her in the name of family honor so they put her in prison. the forty two year old mother of eight was incarcerated for seven months under georgians crime prevention law which has long been used to indefinitely jail women consider to be at risk of so-called honor killings supposedly for their own

protection. with. a jailed me with women facing the death sentence women convicted of drug crimes were the ones on death row are hard to deal with. lawyers were able to get more out of prison after her husband left the country but the circumstances of her release are extremely rare. a woman is usually told that someone must come and bail her out in guarantee has safety usually a brother or a father her son or her husband and that's difficult because these are often the same people who were threatening her they had to do all. it is estimated that hundreds of women have been jailed under the pretext of protection with some spending over a decade in prison but after years of campaigning things are finally starting to change. the shelter the subject around the clock protection and surveillance its location is kept secret. and is one of the first to be transferred from jail to the

shelter after spending almost six years in prison. for safety reasons we cannot give details about the twenty six year old story only that her life is under threat from multiple members of her family. and. when i arrived here for two days i could not believe that i could just go out on the balcony and see people the world and life had been almost sixty years and i had not seen the sign i had not seen people. shelter director does that insists this is not just a place for the women to eat and sleep here they also receive psychological counseling legal aid and vocational training with the aim of reintegrating them into society children up to the age of sixteen remain with their mothers three of the women transferred from prison have left the shelter after they were deemed to no longer be in danger if a woman wants to leave beforehand she's informed of the risks and cannot be held
10:22 am
against her will. my goal is to one day be able to leave and find a suitable place to live i do not want to be threatened anymore who had heard the opening of the shelter has been hailed as a major step forward but activists say the law which allowed for these women to be held in the first place must be repealed to guarantee this never happens again. smuggling is a thing of the past in ireland for now but whether breaks it comes with or without a deal the frontiere between the republic of ireland and e.u. member and northern ireland part of the united kingdom could put smugglers back in business. through money go to three hundred fifty. mike has plenty of tales of smuggling he lives in northern ireland right next to the border the former truck driver says lots of shady stuff went on in the area in
10:23 am
the past much of it involving customs control of the train the british province and the e.u. member state to the cells i see me going to shit well said laurie so we're going to this big ship. made a very through that through that door let's share that chip. in the size of our trade even thought that if it's impossible i getting rid of controls didn't get rid of smuggling completely fireworks which are banned in the republic of ireland are still taken across regularly they're legal in the north and sales of them are brisk in the border region. and foreign diesel subsidized by the e.u. also often crosses the border illegally as does heating oil from northern ireland that's not been slapped with a value added tax because there are no controls. conor patterson remembers a very different time into the one nine hundred ninety s. thousands of trucks were checked by customs officials in the sheds they disappeared

with the advent of the e.u. single market here but bricks that could bring it all back along with the return of more professional organized smugglers have faith in the irish republic and lying with big prices across the years at waller a lot on cheap basis being on board that that for answer could be significant enough corage widespread smuggling the issue for also is that smuggling. captured exploited by crying. newry and northern ireland has benefited from its position at the border it's developed into a major shopping for the region a rise in crime would certainly hurt businesses here but could post breck's its smuggling be kept in check. there are people here in their homes with with anticipation without which is the to them and given the price of resistance i. see

it as an opportunity to make a lot of money however there cannot be any real storming of border infrastructure because our present and all the challenge and threats which it is are trying to target is of our very own cost mike is also against bringing back the checkpoints and watchtowers like many others here it reminds him too much of a more violent era we. can see down to some looks just like any trendy spot in iran's capital tehran mice but in one sense it's like no other it employs people with down syndrome or autism for many of them it's the first job they've ever had. in that i must have done this completely in his element serving couple chinos to the guests in this cafe to waiting tables assist first ever job and the forty year

old is loving every second of it. i like the cafe it's big and it's nice. that's why i'm so grateful to the. every night when i go to bed i thank. he and the others who work here have little chance of finding work elsewhere iran's job market discouragingly in such a bad state that over a third of college educated young iranians are unemployed for people with special needs it's become nearly impossible to find work. for most of those people there's nothing to do once they finish school they just stay at home but we're convinced it's good for them to show people that they have other abilities not just good for them it's also good for their families they're

often sad because they can't do anything but here they can show just what they're capable of. more than forty people living with down syndrome autism work here regularity everybody pitches in doing what they can brewing coffee waiting tables or entertaining the guests with music. they all get paid for their work except for the cafe owner he she runs a deficit every month there are very few government programs to support social projects like this one in the islamic republic. giving up is not an option because every day she sees just how much this work means to iran and the others. i used to just be with my father. you know
