A german woman. Had been missing since monday. And. Completed the 1st. A major. Project. With. Welcome to the program. Open for most. For the 1st time in more than. Thousands of gathered outside the Historic Building to take in the prayer as it follows a controversial. President. Back into a mosque. On himself is in attendance along with several 100 invitees originally a cathedral the building has to the heart of istanbul for 1500 years. For more now im joined by d. W. Correspondent julio han whos quite near the hargus of fear in istanbul judea what is going on at the monument. Well the 1st friday prayer is underway inside the ioseph ear but also outside as you can see behind me there are thousands of people who are joining these prayers right behind me actually you can see many of my colleagues from turkish media who are our also praying now are joining the prayers according to the information we have about 500 people were allowed inside the i. O. C. There was a limitation due to coronavirus the measures but outside we actually souls thousands all people today many of them wrote their prayer rugs some of them even came from other parts of turkey just to be here today and to attend this event its a highly symbolic event for president eddo on himself who is inside ideas of fear right now he earlier recitals apart from the koran so he is joining this prayer weve seen him wearing a mosque and sitting socially distant to members all 3 is that cabinet today is probably the day that the prison aired on his telling his supporters islamic conservative voters the nationalists here in the country that he fulfilled a promise he made to them he had repeatedly promised to turn this iconic building that used to be a child and for the past 86 years was a museum to turn this Building Back into a mosque. Making the promise. To turn it back. I guess you have to understand the symbolism of the iosif here it is for many people here in turkey the old hymn it symbol of the muslim autumn the ground was of christian. In constantinople that is how istanbul was cold back than and many people say they have been longing for this to happen for the past decade basically since the i. S. O. Fear was turned into a museum 86 years ago by takis state found most of. Now everyone knows about the symbolism but it seems that is also help him helping him politically he clearly seems to sing so right now his popularity ratings are not looking very good the turkish economy has suffered a lot during the coronavirus endemic so for add on the i assume he has some kind of a joke or card he has posed now to really behind him his. Conservative islamic base. But the hard. Side what is going to change inside this historic. Well we havent been allowed inside yet but we understand it well from what weve seen from todays images they have rolled out a took was carpets that is one change for sure in the past 2 weeks but one of the biggest debates is about the christian i can and liz aid because islam forbids the depiction of the people and animals the images of mary jesus and christian sayings actually have to be covered during prayer times although the government insists they will be opened outside prayer time so visitors can go and see them the solution they found is at putting a huge cottons to cover of these icons and christian symbols but still there are huge concerns that actually changing this secular space into a religious one is doing harm is you know putting this historic structure of the World Heritage site at risk.

China has ordered the United States to close one of its consulates in a tit for tat move the Foreign Ministry has given us officials a 72 oz dont leave the consulate in the south western city of chengdu.

Relations between the 2 countries are at an all time low since they have established diplomatic relations in the end of the 1970s this move is probably not going to help them but it is also nothing that comes as a surprise china has not chosen to do something that would further escalate the situation and expect to move but then why specifically the consulate in trying to do what is. The consulate in chengdu is somewhat it is not one of the 2 most important consulates but it is still an important consulate it covers the southwest of china that includes many big geographical region also a densely populated region people from there american citizens but also chinese citizens who apply for visas will now have to travel much further there is also a political pawn because this consulate was responsible also for covering the bet for the u. S. And it has some kind of it has gained some kind of fame a few years ago when the police had the head of the Police Department of chongqing who was then.
