the. news a live from berlin world leaders condemned the bloodshed in miramar military forces there killed scores of people including children as a crackdown on dissent in the deadly stage since they seized power last month also coming up. more people are driven from their homes in mozambique as islamised militants seize a town that's home to a key energy project and still stop engineers struggle to refloat the huge container ship containing the suez blocking the suez canal they're hoping to free

the vessel and the next few days. i'm michael ok welcome one day after security forces killed dozens and miramar protesters are back on the streets demanding a return to democracy from the military junta leaders are facing global condemnation for the crackdown which happened on mir and mars armed forces holiday it was the deadliest day since pro-democracy protests began in early february more than 400 people have been killed since the army seize power from civilian leader. journalist dave bomb is following the story from kuala lumpur and joins me now dave on top of all the deaths yesterday there are reports in local media of being shot

in the head today while trying to help wounded people one impact does this have on the protest movement if at all. it just makes them even more determined to push back against this military coup this nurse who was reportedly killed today while tending to people well it's not the 1st time that security forces have targeted medical workers since the coup on february 1st and to the people who are against this military government which is the overwhelming majority population this just exemplifies why they have to act against it if they believe that they don't stand up to this military government now will be dealing with the same issues for at least another generation because the who wants the public to live in absolute fear they are trying to terrorize them so you can see the street demonstrations continue now some demonstrators they radicalize some of them and they're fighting back using you know makeshift weapons cocktails makeshift rifles but then what's really been the most effective part of the movement so far which is of course also

going to continue is the work stoppage so many government employees are wreaths using to work for this military government it's crippled some of the ministries the banking center banking sector is barely functioning and that's all going to continue now the defense chiefs from 12 countries signed a statement condemning saturday's bloodshed is that enough in other words will it change anything. it's not going to change anything on the ground what have to operate because this military junta has absolutely no moral compass keep in mind this is the same army that just a few years ago killed more than 10000 more hinge of muslims in a span of just a few months according to united nations investigators and if that were to decide they're going to take a similar tactic can be just as violent against the general population in the am are if they feel they need to go that far will they will do it because this is the way this who to operate they think along the same lines of we just passed

a me on my have it's the same play both just a new generation of leaders we're hearing that talks are underway that could lead to the resistance forming its own army what would that mean for this current conflict would we be talking about a full fledged civil war it certainly could potentially lead to that if they pull together this you know suppose that national resistance army it's hypothetical right now but what they'd be talking about is taking these different ethnic groups that are in the at the minority states who've been fighting battles i mean there are many got weapons they've been fighting battles against me and my army for decades to try and give their respective at the been already staged loratadine more say over their own internal affairs so you would hypothetically bring some of these different groups together as well there are already in the jungles been formed these camps where students and office workers from the city civilians are going to get crash forces and guerrilla warfare are not really clear on the numbers but

those numbers could certainly grow so you have been medically take those people go through that training along with some of these armed ethnic groups and you have this sort of national resistance army what's not clear if it does happen is where we're most of these battles take place would it be in the more rule areas or would you see it in the major cities it's really hard to guess the tactics in this all really does come to fruition david good of all journalists in kuala lumpur really appreciate your insights. police have detained more than 100 activists as well as a number of leading journalists following renewed anti-government protests among 5 reporters of rested on saturday where is our own correspondent nick connelly who's been covering the protests against the authoritarian leader alexander lukashenko it was the 2nd time this week police have taken him into custody the crackdown comes as the opposition try strip bring more people out onto the streets hoping to kickstart mass demonstrations like those seen after look at shan't go claim victory

in a disputed presidential election in august. the director general peter lundberg has condemned connelly's detention in a statement he said it is scandalous that such methods are now being used to hinder the work of accredited journalists and baylor we will not let it intimidate us in our efforts to deliver independent information to the people of baylor nick was released yesterday after 5 hours in detention we asked him whether more demonstrations were expected. i think protests will go on they're going to be decentralized and it's all going to be about for the opposition trying to keep people so spread out across that you know it's going to be difficult for the police to make massive arrests we were at the scene things like people reaching fireworks in their balconies. kind of. decentralize meetings online people hang up flags things that are easier to do but should be good demonstrations some

are summer that we saw where you know hundreds of people streets that's going to be very difficult but time time again people here tell me that even even in these restrictive rules are stacked against the opposition that the government isn't respecting their own rules that even their rules to the press in terms of freedom of assembly they're not basically it's all just open to their. decision in the moment and there is really no i think most people will be convinced that this needs to go on because they are seeing the government isn't sticking to its own rules. it connelly in their turning to africa now and as long as insurgent group has seized the northern mozambique town of palma after days of fighting in a region where hundreds of thousands of people have already been forced to flee fighting local media say several people were killed during the conflict though exact numbers haven't been verified as communication networks are down in the area

a nearby natural gas project from french oil and gas company totality has been forced to suspend operations the project has been stalled by repeated attacks in the region which has been plagued by violence since 2718. our correspondent adrian krege was in mozambique before the latest fighting began and is following these events from cape town adrian it's good to see you what more do we know what about the attack at this point. michael we understand the fighting's are still ongoing in pan but at the same time every creation happening apparently vessels with 2000 people is on the way to the regional capital at the moment half of them staff off to a child but we also understand that many people are still trapped in south african media outlets reported of dozens of people that apparently died at least one south african among them they tried to get out of their hotel in the convoy and where

apparently ambushed but it is very difficult to verify this information at the moment as you rightly said networks have been down since wednesday the government only confirmed yesterday is an attack but they don't give any further informations and they also don't allow journalists to get in this area. give us a big picture perspective what exactly is happening in mozambique right now so the locals there call the group al-shabaab although they have nothing to do with al-shabaab in somalia the insurgency in was a big started very similar to the one that we see in northeastern nigeria was boko haram you have the poorest part of the country the government is hardly investing anything and a lot of people are not happy they tried to voice their complaints government is not listening some of them ready then the government reacts with force tries to crack down on those red radicalized and that way radicalize this even more people so that way things spiral out of control and to a situation that we have at the moment that is really terrifying when we were there

last month we really hit the most brutal stories from displaced people their children kidnapped villagers decapitated in front of entire villages just to prove a point and these are not like you know rare random stories this has been happening there for months all the time it is really crazy area in that sense 6 how the 600000 people displaced it is not even clear what the group actually once but it looks much more than this is more about power and access to resources than it is about religion which likely to be the impact of both the attack and decision to withdraw. well the impact on the economy will be. the 6th poorest nation in the world and the government hopes to pocket about $96000000000.00 in the next 25 years with projects that have not even commenced they're still in an early stage but the way things look like now this is very unlikely to happen and this is disaster for the economy of mozambique. reporting

a lot of mistakes but we can't say what they are now the only factors we can be sure of now are the wind and the sand story. those are not the only factors like i said but the rest will become clearer in the investigation. but while experts investigate further the ship still has to be freed 20000 tons of sand have been removed from the area around the bow and 9000 tons of ballast water had been pumped out in order to lighten the vessel the operation has so far been unsuccessful but 2 more tugs are on their way if they can't move it the next step will be to unload cargo. is the issue of lightning the load is of course planned 3 or the 3rd scenario which we hope not to reach. but if we need to we will have ships with cranes empty container ships with cranes that can remove the containers one by one off the ship and put them in the other vessel until we empty the whole

cuba island where the united nations world food program is planning a food distribution program. but our boates journey ends at the halfway point the tide is going out so we have to continue on foot the area is dangerous on the clothes by mail and there still are regular attacks by islamist insurgents. we've been on the road for 3 hours through the sea and the mangroves then we meet the 1st locals and finally we reach the remote island which was attacked by terrorists last year. they looted the village and murdered 2 people and we reached the food distribution venue the local hadifa ministration tells us the terrorists also kidnapped 30 children. a 16 year old daughter one of our boys one of the missing children she disappeared without a trace. these people are just evil they come from far away take away our

children and don't even tell us why they are what they want i am sad i'm angry i just don't understand. me she was there when when i was kidnapped he almost ended up in the same situation themself. they said we are taking you were. yes to our camp we will train you and to teach you to she wouldn't make you a soldier but 5 boys 2 girls and myself managed to escape on the way there. after they said they wanted to make the boys into soldiers what did they say to the girls and they said we will make them our wives so far there has been no international outcry because the news deal hasn't got out of the island without electricity or a telephone network almost one year on many residents live in fear of another

attack not a single soldier has been stationed here to protect them up to now. it's been a year since military trucks entered the new than italian city of battle to take away the coffins of thousands of people who had died from corona. the shock still runs deep among the survivors but there is also hope. don mario coming out the shares countless memories with many of the people laid to rest here. he was a member of the parish i was leading in better. almost everyone buried in this section of the cemetery died from cove it this is the 1st time don mario has visited since the pen demick struck the region you know myth or not and you know. it's like going back months like reliving the moments of people who are no longer here. you. these harrowing images were seen

around the world military trucks loaded with caskets starting in march the bodies of the seized her transported to other cities across italy the criminal were overwhelmed by the numbers as part of a mo became the epicenter of the pen demick in europe. the picturesque town became a killing field the question of whether this tragedy could have been averted remains unanswered many blame the local and regional governments for closing things down too late the mayor of baghdad denied a request for an interview. this was the frontline in the battle against cove it. seems from march last year when doctors and nurses were caught off guard everybody we spoke to here had just one comparison in mind war. remember one night 8 o'clock maybe being i was looking for body bags because i

finished the back so i had to put to the. volatility of people who are dying moments like that are now a thing of the past says dr said joe and. the pen demick is far from over but for him and his team there is hope with vaccinations on the rise and important lessons learned. dr i kept a diary his form of therapy as he says his accounts of being in the eye of the storm were printed in a local newspaper and moved many readers including the pope who invited him to the vatican. these pictures of the trucks leaving town loaded with bodies soon became iconic images of the tragedy that ship italy and the whole of europe to its. before their departure don't come to me not to use to give his final blessing to the deceased here at his church which was serving as a makeshift morgue at the time the community suffered as coming out the stood by its side during the church bells to notify loved ones under lockdown at home

whenever trucks left the compound loaded with the dead though they took a need that upon they may have been in with the with the weather that i told my priests that at the end of the pandemic we should be able to look ourselves in the mirror look. and we should be shepherds and not run away when our flock is in trouble and suffering has got an emotional plea going to be called in and wanted to grieve from the from the course the 100. 1 year later he feels fear has given way to a sense of solidarity but overcoming the collective trauma will take time not just here at the church but in the region as a whole. more and more people from south and central america are seeking refuge in the u.s. hopeful for president biden's new immigration policies what's on the dangerous road to the u.s. the 1st stop is detention camps i'm going to search in future. they

just crossed the border between mexico and the united states and they have been caught by the authorities a group of 57 immigrants most of them from central america once on u.s. soil they are looking for the border patrol not only because they are tired thirsty untangle but also because they want to start the asylum process as soon as possible . a short distance from the natural order comes the unfinished fence that makes up one 3rd of the over 3100 kilometers tell the border the construction has stopped and there the biden administration. i'm tossing weise our friends grappa near the border for grandmother came from mexico his father as well in a time of no barriers between mexico and the united states. we want to make sure that they treat them well we have kids we have rank kids and some still babies so this is why it hurts to see them crossing them. you saw it they

were 7 or 8 years old this is why we're here you know as another possible that. i missed. the bus arrives to carry the young. parents and their kids so the closest detention center in the middle of india i know the most honest best known at least 150000 asylum seekers with children have been caught in the past weeks and are being held under custody a big challenge for the current administration you'll see and get at the i feel that biden wants to move forward and solve the problem because there are so many that have to be processed and at the same time make sure that they finally arrive in a safe place so little. because safety is one of the main reasons such forced them to escape from places where criminal activity is part of their every day. cameras are not allowed inside the detention center even basic information about

the number of immigrants and how long they're being detained is not released but pictures taken by a democratic congressman show that the conditions inside are terrible especially for kids the republican party is using this as a political tool against the biden administration and his party they're also portraying immigrants as a national security threat. once released its volunteers like rachel who guide them something out asylum seekers are being held in custody over the legal limit of 72 hours all this after an epic journey well in all the said it was an odyssey suffering from hunger thirst i hope the sacrifice was worth it and so going to be 000 delta quickly becomes a smile since their new life is already started. in brussels the european union wants to strengthen the rights of people with disabilities european parliament member country and see the news from experience

the discrimination in a stupor for use of. someone like you can't do that. caterine lung and stephen was told as a teenager with dreams of being a t.v. reporter nobody would like to see a person with or without disability in front of the camera don't even think about his life flying to the moon instead and was told to be grateful for the offer of an office job in an institution for people with disabilities hidden away from the public. i don't believe that the guy who went super angry and sad for you or never find a job somewhere else she managed to find one fed up with the lack of options available to people with disabilities lenin's even became a politician and now a member of the european parliament i decided ok what can i do and where's the

place in society for me and there was no place so i created my own space it was like if nobody cares what you're doing you're totally free to do what you want what she wants is equal rights and opportunities sometimes even she can't predict practical obstacles at 1st she couldn't even vote she couldn't push the buttons on the electronic box her mailbox was too hard i said please be aware it would be nice to put my i'm a lot in the highest box off. she says she was told the system simply had to go alphabetically langan's you can was one of the driving forces behind the european parliament's 2020 resolution laying out its priorities for the e.u. commission's new disability strategy and access to opportunity of inclusion and participation of basic human rights among lawmakers demand initiatives to improve

the rights of people with disabilities in all policy areas to guarantee access to health care employment transport and housing and to make sure the pandemic doesn't make things worse. worse long and is confident things are slowly moving in the right direction there's an openness. and. so i'm always positive otherwise i couldn't do that job you have to be positive. even though it's a tiny step it's a step and although it's not the role she dreamed of as a child katrina long and see been is in front of the camera and making news. the be. glad. to meet.

a come from nigeria to save the world the superhero something comic republicans. for screens i come in here is that look like the bushies trying to do good not the white people but the bush years but because he gave me because i'm highly supervillains everywhere had better watch out the 77 percent. in justice and. threaten social harmony into fights aside. our sense of justice is inherent. and it's strong. when equal opportunities disappear and disenfranchisement moves. society. to. 45 minutes on g.w. . what secrets lie behind. discover new

adventures in 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites the b.m.w. world heritage $360.00 get the maps now. so if i wait so far this is what i would look like. my name would be if. we clearly have something special for bread for you on the show but i'm not going to give away too much yet i eddie my good genia and your welcome to the 77 percent. usual today show it's packed with amazing stories from all over the african continent and we have a special guest joining us in the studio needs after

a chat. from nigeria to find out of comic republic that got 5 out of africa will be talking about that comic on creative industries in africa. have a taste of the list just showed me its weight in ivory coast. and last but not least the one. now just like you i grew up watching batman superman and all those other superheroes now that was cool but the only problem was they did not look like me so i couldn't really identify with them if you know what i mean but there's a new group of superheroes in town. and his team of young comic artists have created the only universe of african superheroes watch out gotham city league a city is taking over. the gotham city of west africa. around

14000000 people live here. heroes to be found to live far away in america and the are quite. wants to change this by making comics in africa he's fulfilling a child who i think it was about 5 years ago my mom would buy me comic books and our troops every single one i completely ruined the comics yeah that's basically how i don't i've put a piece of paper on to the make the help of my pencil the no 1st day with the friends of the bus coming by do we go to a school and just basically troops. are. crime and all of a nigerian superheroes approach to life here and the public's to get that kind of alternative african model you know best in many ways under the watchful eye of the day he has since moved to london with a hope to supply us from lagos achieve an international bridge to.

one of my major committed 4 big moves to push the african continent and the continent you know to the world. and to do that you need every structure much infrastructure that we can find back home in nigeria you know london is. just right but what do people think of comic books back home. in the slums make those at least just want to kiss thing only own super powers just like the cocktails when she wants a gun says i was thug and i know you do damn police they need to get down in my. chain i'll speak you. if you were in lagos i'll tell them to do so many because nigeria know we are soft. during. the war i

would do more than they were doing so that we know. you. even businesswoman isabella can identify with a superhero and. i know the white people could be superheroes about africa as we do you know we we have you know we can't be. all powerful that she really. didn't matter and believes public is successful because it closest i got. i strongly believe that people who approach women feel forced to put the focus. in the wild of mainstream comics public sees itself as an alternative we need to take control of the night and so the future it's become a pulpit to be a movie screen to be on t.v. should we need to be on mobile phones to be in people's homes i mean people's families you know we see our picture from makes you see out there is as

a bridge between i prefer the world in general we can all be here i don't have to have super powers to do good that's what outcome except. i. know about some cool stuff here is the man behind the africa. jim martin welcome to the sense of you know ok so you believe that nigeria and indeed africa should have its own supply why is that so important it's necessary for any people and tribe or any race to have roots and icons that look like them people they can look up transpired. so. if someone says ok why can't we just stick to batman and superman is that a big deal you know there's always that thing about identification you know when when it's familiar when you when you can see yourself in that thing then it becomes

easy for you to believe in that they now enter speier to it so it's necessary that people of color you know you see people of color or diversity no matter where you are being represented and for it to give you something to look up to tell us about comic or public what exactly goes on that comic republic is a group of individuals that have come together basically to tell the africans to react to push the african narrative in the right light so that the world can see how awesome the continent is not just the negative stuff but the positive stuff as a there's a good summary of all that is that i'm so i'm sure somebody a very busy day that show yeah yeah yeah it is i mean we spend the whole day you know people think we're just drawing but no we actually have the story of a whole generation of people to convert we have loads to toe we're always creating and it's so much work but it's fun that's into it as the most important having fun while working now you didn't really go to

a school to learn all of this right enough and now for young people watching us now what are we saying then is it ok to just have the talent and do with it or would we encourage them to go to school to add more value there's something i always say that show me somebody would go and build eventually trump anybody would just talent so i mean when i started we didn't have a lot of fifty's to look for but there's the internet these days there's something else in the school of you to write so i would advise anybody you know about to get talent and then when you can make it a skill and that way you will always be on top. of you do you think that's the subset just so you have moved to london writes. why would you leave nigeria to go to london what really made you make that move the dream of chemical problem was to put africa. stories on the map and to take africa to the world and unfortunately there isn't enough infrastructure in nigeria or government support force to be able to do that and i've taken here as far as i can in nigeria and then

i've moved to london you know to be able to get the infrastructure better to be able to take me for big show where it appears to be which is a global brand and as a go so far. i mean there's a fair structure. it's doing well yeah we do talk in our problems that there are many other challenges facing the creative industry for instance in kenya inquiry from cameroon makes more money renting out is a good grandstand to the movies he makes why is that. making movies where we don't make any money other people will help in this we have no support we have no funding i don't see fees crazy if you think you are stupid specially when you are dot educated when you are docked physically or mentally able to do something else and then when the passion is what drives you when the enthusiasm is what drives you it becomes very difficult for some folk for

a filmmaker income alone to want to do something else because you feel like you make it this way you are. so so we had a clearly talk about some of the challenges talking about funding and of course like you rightly said infrastructure now how do you imagine companies like yours survive or go around these challenges ok so at 1st things 1st i think if you provide what investors need you need to as a creative use distill bankability process for africa we need to prove they can be a product started a creative come out you know it be from the creative space and go into you know the commercial space and provide value for investors right we need to build the business and when it's a business who fund investors and things will move. one foster you know what one challenge that i have is it seems that across africa when when you tell someone hey i draw i'm a creative artist it seems people have this sort of negative perception about it

how do we change these mindsets oh that's a very interesting question i think you know to change the mindset we need to start from within we need to do it ourselves to look more professional we need to issue so that we have the professional discipline right that we need to do our homework we need people to see that it's not just if ok chambord it's actually a business so my recommendation is for creatives to actually stats are trying to change your perception and the rest of the war before them and what goes into changing this perception is a disappearing off snap limit thing differently or how does is what i mean there's a saying that says if your room act like a room and. so if you're in business act like business people you know everything 1st impressions the way you act the way you relate to the language the business there's a language to running a company the language of project management things like that so i think we should say that i am pick up you know i'm tick professional courses do things that have to

do with business lend the trade learn the language and then we'll be able to change the perception so is it isn't that easy to start in the creative arts industry in your case a comic and as easily attach a business to it or does one come before the other there's just so the young folks coming in and stand all this of course i mean what business you are you selling something or you're trading something so out is that with the creative pot have a product right to make sure you actually have the creativity and the product and then when you have a productive you have touched the business that they are getting some some tips that now what is it says we know a lot of the challenges are you talk about funding infrastructure what major support should governments do because i know you know many say. don't wait on the government due to individual like you rightly said that the creative artists should invest more in themselves and look at. business part of it and move on but we're

really does a government have to pay and all this of the government has a huge role to play for example they should make it easy for people who have proven themselves worthy in the sense that easy access to funds so if a creative comes and they have a product right and they have a good business plan as long as it look he has the possibility of being profitable you don't need for it to be profitable it just needs to have the possibility and if that creative or business can prove that then the government should make it easy for them to get funds even if it's a loan for them to pay back for them to be able to do this right and of course basic infrastructure if there's lights you know we don't have to spend so much when you're on power so i mean if they could do just those don't think there will be thousands of funds for people who prove themselves credit worthy and also providing power the industry would change greatly so if they need government should come on board and support to the creative arts industry i'm a superhero's i'll do my part ok now i'm going to give you the chance to talk to the 77 percent of africa's youth watching right now because i'm sure most of you

that are going to vote in this you my own sister is a great artist i told you earlier what's the message for for those that really want to make a career or a life in this business i would tell some 7 percent that it's in their hands they should take full control of the destiny is i mean we do that all the people don't appreciate who we are what we do we need to prove ourselves and like everything else once you've proven yourself the world is your your playfield is just go for it go for it. what's a buy you a name would you give you maybe a superhero what name did you have you might. think about me. which i don't know if i'm supposed to be happy about it or not but deal with this galaxy man. i mean i don't know but anyway thanks a lot jay thanks for having me lend a lot for me and i'm sure you guys have also lends a lot now if you want to see even more african superheroes the recently launched

a new production of african roots social media week in the us check it out. africa is futile still it's. good to see. people's. by priest and good spirits. but also tells all. in. rishon. i'm free condom use. i'm sure you're curious to know mall and fun fact that's actually

by hand as soon as the pieces are small enough a day out together with cocoa butter and tell them must become slick which. this requires a great deal of care the mixture must be stirred long enough otherwise the chocolate tastes peter. what frustrates me about chocolate is its complexity against a tory architecture a complexity of the r.m.s. stuff must be added to obtain a product with a beautiful alchemy making beloki. that x.l. emmanuelle produces chocolate in ivory coast is very unusual. his country is the world's largest of cocoa beans but after the harvest the bins are mostly shipped to europe and america where they are father processed and made into chocolate but this

didn't stop the phone bank opening his own chocolate factory. in 2015 at 1st his family didn't understand his decision to size up the good thing for me because they all thought it was crazy that i really shouldn't do it so there was a lot of sadness and disappointment they really weren't happy quitting the bank to become a trickle but today i have done everything that i can to make them proud and i don't regret it. for the are just a sprout you know to get by. in total the production process takes between $2.00 and $3.00 days in order to set himself apart from the competition x.l. emanuel now focuses on chocolate. employs around 10 people and works with a cooperative of local cocoa farmers but his vision is bigger than just creating jobs in his own country and industry is based in the world but it's neglected it's

if we don't look after it will disappear by $250.00 many experts agreed that this is because of deforestation as well as the price paid to. the big retailers need to stop paying one euro. and truffles it is dishonorable they need to pay a little more. in the west must understand that they should buy good quality chocolate. x.l. emmanuelle giving up it's not optional to surprise his customers. with new creations and let them have a taste in its latest experiment chocolate with trite insects. i'm not to show outright chocolates where dried insects but i bet it's tasty and sustainable and we as consumers have the power to hold the big corporations so i

count so good away absalom and all but for me the best chocolate in the weald will always be shall collate meeting. now let's travel to the other side of the continents to talk about something totally different. music stellata xabi is a one as 1st female saxophonist making it big in the middle of the many that music industry wasn't easy at all but still refused to give. me the name for herself take it away stella. my name is 2 last time i am among those pressed females likes of horns. 2 2 but so much. to my life it's given me so much coffee beans and become part of me and become a part of. it all began with the story the 30 year old musician says that she did

not find the saxophone but the instrument found her. first 320100 songs main one a friend tons of mean trove of beautiful saxophone so i asked what it was that of another friend of mine see before saxophone and that's when i got the desire to really learn piece instrument but special instruments had to come by and have to be imported from outside the country when still a couldn't find any in rwanda she asked the uncle in the west to send him one month later she received a trumpet she wrote again and finally quite a saxophone but learning to play was another story there was a lot of techniques involved in bringing the right sound but i guess it's a question that i had within me and encouraged me so that. sometimes even a simple thing like finding is paper becomes a major obstacle. this is one of my biggest challenges

in the music shop as big as this one you can't even find or read every day is one of the most accessories presents a phony steven gets was if something gets broken car the main. it's very challenging to find spare parts of this town. besides this challenge taylor too shabby also feels pretty says when she started to play her faced. this was a male dominated industry that i just flew into unknowingly no one cared with for it so it was tough. in the beginning still a felt people did not trust his skills because she's a woman performances were cancelled or not paid correctly. have a role model to look up to someone to guide me into new york and so these are the steps this is what you're going to face no i just kind of dove into it but even
