people of iraq this morning. basically for him the message since the start of his trip is so reconciliation and talking people are all punk rock sucker and not from violence is that sets the same level that uses message to the flute and also live with live side by side with you with your go out with the other face this country so it's essentially if you're acting like. this is obviously a huge deal for christians in iraq wonder what essentially does it mean to them i think it's extremely important particularly coming to the north which was very much decimated by the attacks by the by the rise of the islamic state and then take global it's out of mosul and kara pasha which is a very strong government pristine area that's what must've x. there's a lot of a lot of christian benteke came here so i think his message is well what it's for all the christians to return home to areas such as character of areas in about

where they where they've left or they don't feel but i don't feel that happens any security it's really important message for this segment. of the iraqi society. indeed an important message that the pope is there to spread but what about the pandemic and we mentioned it before we can't really go on said there are thousands of people at this event what are iraqis saying about the message that the pope is sending by holding a mass 410000 people. i mean i think there were warnings before but this is content to be a suit brought about and by the pictures you're seeing it it's very hard to see that this might actually work ross and i'm going to just try to get it to the. source employment rights cases on fort almost 40000 people died in florida and talk about you the structure of that truck and sickly it's the best make for years it was so it is very very risky you're going to stop to see what happens over the

she worked inside high rises like this one as a receptionist she always watched and envied the facade cleaners through the windows. uses mountaineering techniques and equipment ropes belt sands carabiners more art keeps a close eye on preparations the ropes have to be in perfect shape after all the workers' lives depend on them. that 1st nobody believed nasa would ever join the team herself. still now they said it was no use training me i wouldn't be able to do the job even my friends told me that. but at the age of 35 she knew not to pay them any mind today she sees herself as a pioneer in a job that no other woman in turkey dance.

this time the elevator takes them up to the 35th from from here it's just a few steps up to the roof. of the team leader more our staff is proud to have a woman as part of his otherwise male team. landed in the up to the good usual business in oslo has proven that women can do this too. it doesn't matter if you're a man or woman. over matters is whether you're able to do this risky work or not to get it that he she was before she reptiles down the facade non-slip has to concentrate fully on the task at hand and a mistake could prove fatal if i have respect for every job no matter how high up it is it once i'm roped up i feel safe you just look at that. nasa has little time to enjoy the view of greater istanbul with its population of over 17000000 and 161 shiny new skyscrapers over the past 20 years

they for radically transform the skyline. the team complete with cleaning equipment and buckets of water balance along the latch. they proceed slowly secured by a steel cable. the red rope is not masses abseiling point. they lay mats under the safety ropes so they won't be cut through by the aluminum roofs shop at use later on finally they can get down to work. by now or will have already overcome her fear she chanced us to make sure that she doesn't drop her spawn.

highly unusual for a woman in turkey a notch widely accepted as parents for instance don't like it i don't mean they don't want me to get divorced they're convinced that divorce will leave you isolated and they don't want to see me end up as a lonely woman and what the neighbors say it would be all gossip and rumors. now answer as family come from eldest on an eastern anatolia when she was age 7 her parents moved to istanbul in search of jobs like many others from turkey for 30. she's the 2nd to last of 9 brothers and sisters but the only one who separated from her spouse she has to explain herself continuously. good thing you know the woman is supposed to stay home in the kitchen take care of the children and serve her husband and parents in law that's normal and there are no thanks for it no

appreciation only mic but on the incriminations along the lines of what's this you've cooked up today. even so. country and takes pride in its many social achievements turkish women are gaining ever more freedoms and losing more of the restrictions imposed by their traditional gender roles hopes her daughter will have an easier life than she's had and that she won't suffer any disadvantages from her parents being separated. several times a week and her daughter workout has to stay in good shape at the same time she supports and encourages her 11 year olds athletic development. dad ensues is a passionate and her mother a patient sparring partner. she wants to explore the world just like i do though we both love our freedom and don't

want to have it limited. try to make our own decisions without any undue outside influence. but no answers all too aware that she can only afford the sessions with her daughter at the sports center thanks to her relatively high paying job not that many people in turkey can. hutton physical education shouldn't be reserved for the well off so it should be open to all young people but unfortunately it is a luxury because of the expense i can tell you all about that that's what it my daughter has this opportunity every child her age should have it. also gets annoyed when the media follow the official line and paint a rosy picture this while ignoring the pandemic the economic and currency crises.

all 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 hushed 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. did as i said the dollar are 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 with her friends. then much like she does under the open sky she can put juarez aside for a few hours. in turkey an evening out with friends includes

a glass of the national drink as noiseless younger sister saved him from such little time to sit here and drink is something everyone ought to be able to do men and women nobody should be saying a woman who drinks rock is about a woman or even that she's a brave woman what we're doing here is the most normal thing in the world none of the women here appreciate having to justify their lifestyles. also has the support of oldest friend john donne confessed. to. always had extreme ideas. first she gained her independence it's like now she's climbing up skyscrapers. and that she's always done whatever she wanted like all of us here and it's we're strong we're trying to achieve our dreams and we support one another because of this the kids that come and go. for the job she wanted she broke

a glass ceiling or 2 when she started climbing class facades. a woman who wouldn't be kept down. all the count's up here is training concentration and teamwork. when i look down from here i feel as if the world belongs to me as if i were standing on top of everything the most people never have a chance to experience that. every work day she takes up the fight again the fight to prove that a profession doesn't have to be the exception to the rule for women in turkey.
