Rosalina Dallago, 52, poses for a photograph at her shoeshine shop, Sciuscia Chic, in Rome, Italy, February 24, 2017. Former model Dallago owns three shoeshine shops. One of her shops is a tiny space on a narrow alleyway and is frequented mostly by lawmakers from the House of Parliament just around the corner. Her most loyal customers are legislators who stop by early in the morning on their way in. "Sciuscia" is the fractured phonetic pronunciation that poor street urchins in Naples would shout out to U.S. soldiers after World War Two to ask them if they wanted their shoes shined. "My customers see me as a professional before they see me as a woman," said Dallago. "Mothers should instil a sense of gender equality in their sons."

The Obama administration announced wide-ranging new rules on Friday to ease trade, travel and investment restrictions with Cuba, the latest effort to chip away at the long-standing U.S. economic embargo amid a diplomatic thaw between the two former Cold War foes. The announcement came just as Pope Francis, who played an instrumental role in the diplomatic opening late last year, prepares to visit Cuba this weekend before heading to the United States next week. The Vatican has long condemned the embargo against Cuba. REUTERS/Andres Martinez Casares TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY

A boy working as a shoe shiner is seen in La Paz, January 8, 2014. Bolivia's national legislature is currently debating a new law which would make it illegal for children to start working before the age of 14, though an exception would be incorporated, allowing 12 and 13-year-olds to work with special permission. On Wednesday, representatives from Bolivia's Union of Child and Adolescent Workers (UNATsBO) entered this debate, opposing any legally imposed age limits. According to a 2008 study on child labour, conducted by the Bolivian National Institute of Statistics, 28 percent of the country's population between 5 and 17 years old is involved in "labour activities".

The sum wiped off the MSCI All-Country World Index - about one seventh of its value - is almost equivalent to the size of combined economies of Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Greece.
