a teenage demonstrator plus. the skids because we don't 2 deal with a. good cook with these tunnels on the run the hunt continues in south africa for some crocodiles that have the good from the breeding farm. and we welcome to the program it's day 2 of pope francis historic visit to iraq he's aiming to rally the country's minority christian community whose numbers have dropped drastically after years of war and persecution the pontiff began the day in the holy city of new jobs where he had a private meeting with one of iraq's most powerful shiite leaders grand ayatollah ali al sistani. a meeting that was months in the making every detail carefully planned after

a photo op the 2 men spoke privately for 40 minutes the ayatollah reportedly telling the pope he also believes christians should be able to live in peace in iraq and enjoy the same rights as other iraqis it's a powerful statement from sistan he who rarely makes his opinions known when he does shiites in iraq and around the world take note. later the pope arrived in the ancient city of moore known as the birthplace of abraham the biblical patriarch revered by christians muslims and jews a fitting place for an interfaith meeting where francis underscored his message for . peace does not demand winners or losers but rather brothers and sisters who for all the misunderstandings and hurts of the past are journeying from conflict to unity. in praying for peace in the middle east the

pope singled out syria ravaged by a decade of civil war and he condemned religious extremists who used terrorism to achieve their aims. on sunday pope francis will see firsthand the destruction left behind by the terrorist islamic state when he visits the group's former stronghold in the northern iraqi city of mosul. now i'm joined by journalist owen holdaway who is an arab bail following the papal visit iowan the pope met with one of the most powerful figures and shiite islam grand ayatollah ali al sistani why was his meeting so important. i think it's extremely important because as you say he's one of those powerful shiite leaders in the not just in iraq iran that whole middle east so i think the meeting of them if you can a joint message of unity and was extremely important you know and also signals a lot of that ship follows that you know to actually go along with that with there

are christian brethren of iraq sort of very strong message also additionally the the ayatollah is very private man makes political statements or actually involve himself in so the fact that he came out and said and said this joint statement with you i think it's really really powerful so that several times since his arrival already in pope francis has denounced extremism and violence in the name of religion but realistically what can we achieve on this trip as far as interfaith dialogue goes i think one of communitarian level you know social level one of these it is very powerful because it's essentially the christian community of the 1st guess and since the start up arm you can be the voice of the islamic state so i think the message that comes across particular not just to the me to the ayatollah but also the other of it's an eastern likeness of the of of iraq that we needed and also the political it sends a message of unity and though it's only one iraq and this note that there is one of

them all plates everyone is human and they all need to get along together so i think i think it is a very strong message in terms of intent there whether or not it will have effect politically is different matter you know the group says there are still groups that aren't associated militias for instance that recently attacked the u.s. airbase here or isis that we can in some areas so you know it may not have a message but it might not reach that those sort of areas but i think the general level our community level it's definitely very positive messages which the points of what ought to go to iraq he actually symbolic of is that there is day 2 of 4 what's the 5 schedule for the rest of his trip. he's heading out to the. morning and then he's actually setting records going to mosul which is a very slight very very serious that was desolate or they don't get in those that's one of our course which is a christian formerly a christian town that was taken

a choice for 2050 surely they took her to mosul armed as the church was very famous church that was which was destroyed during the war so this is that and then it culminated in combat holding a. massive and stayed with me right oh i hauled away in the air deal thank you very much for that update there and fresh clashes and the alarm between police and demonstrators protesting against the country's military coup the military has been widening its crackdown on the opposition since things in power and early february over 50 peaceful protesters have been killed in the unrest among them a teenage girl whose death has become a solemn symbol of the opposition. close to the ground for safety her shirt says everything will be ok but it wasn't for mandalay university student kelson she was shot in the head and killed as police opened fire on protesters last wednesday

know they paint the situation in our country in the very best light as if to say we have no problems at all the world empties out and the painful realities of daily life are washed up this is one of these realities is the galloping inflation that's been eating away at the gill masses purchasing power over 2 years now. that is against the dollar our turkish lira is just melting away i used to be able to do all my shopping at the market with a 100 lire now i can't even get a queue of me for 100 lire. but nasa is not about to let the crises afflicting turkey spoil her last for long one evening a week she goes out to her friends. then much like she does under the open sky she can push her worries are signed for a few hours. in turkey an evening out with friends includes
