Carney visits Istanbul's Kariye Mosque

Mark Carney looks up at Byzantine frescoes as his delegation walks through the vaulted interior of Istanbul's Kariye Mosque. A guide explains a practical detail of the building's religious life: the artwork is covered during prayers and visible to visitors at other times.

The visit came on the final morning of the Canadian prime minister's three-day trip to Turkey. The Canadian Press's report, "Carney visits Istanbul's Kariye Mosque," drew about 21,000 views in its first seven hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts.

Known also as Chora Church, the building preserves Christian imagery within a mosque. The camera follows the delegation through a corridor and into the frescoed funerary chapel before the guide points out mosaics, including an image of Jesus holding a passage from the Gospel of Matthew.

The clip stays with the tour rather than a political address: Carney listens while the guide draws his attention to the artwork and explains how visitors and worshippers use the historic space.
