chinese president xi jinping has arrived in north korea for his 1st state visit there talks with host can jump on are likely to center on nuclear program after summit is this year between can and president from ended without any agreement. this is due to be news up next the d.w. doc film on living with autism a look at the life of 35 year old marcus who is living happily with that i'm brian thomas for the entire team thanks for being here. it's all happening with. surely news from africa the world your link to exceptional stories and discussions continue on with the country they have to cling programming from for an exam week for the news of easy town i would say digital comes from africa joy know something. w.

. camp was. that it runs for a long time doesn't it. did you install it yourself yes i installed it myself. and it's really nice. if you fancy these ideas and i don't want to be part of our german society and if i

don't like what the healthy people do and they're like sheep. now they do the same things they see everyone else do. i don't want to do that i'd rather do what i like and what i enjoy. without anyone saying aren't you too old for that. i'm almost 35 and people often say to me you're an adult do you have to do this and i say yes of course. the duck. and such a boring lamp know what i'm going to turn into something else. that. night i need these noises to be safe in my apartment. and during the day to have fun. if i hear anyone trying to break in then i'll come

and then call me. in with it and. now let's go to the kitchen. it's almost a maze. it's almost finished yet. just one person with autism is someone who lives in his own world. and gaming who has a special skill in

a specific area of my world is the world of sound. now comes the superglue. this is what it sounds like when it's done. unfortunately my parents aren't proud of me so for example when my father comes here he always says one day at marcus this place and you could put me in the asylum. i can't imagine what it's like he doesn't understand why i need this and why it gives me pleasure. i think is a shame. for owning my father wants me to adapt to these stupid social norms for me that's a good reason not to be in on this when these guns as well whatever.

they can put them back on. the road. oh it's a lovely. man so let's take it to the bathroom that's where ducks belong. and. quit house here to. go where will this one go. oh oh hush. they're. wonderful yeah funding who says a bathroom is a restroom attendant when you come here to go to the toilet you're not going to a restroom. oh it's wonderful. oh i.

am not so bad then. we can go. this morning to use a high living to support one in my own apartment. my caseworker comes once a week my mother comes now and again and brings me my laundry. and. lives in the 1st floor she has down syndrome. visit my parents a lot. the moment my mother wants to make sure i get a proper cooked meal at least once a week because it's not like at home where i just microwave everything. in soon i find taking the tram very unpleasant. people can be unpleasant and every so often someone gives me a shot of and pushes me aside. to someone that's an

example that's an example of why i hate other people. don't know why i hate people who don't have a mental disability more than anything just things. that will stay and see just shove me aside and had a really annoying reaction. and i have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach again just a moment ago i was in a good mood. so. there's no way it's tasty go ahead you know. on right i'll give you something else . it's gone she was sleeping the entire time and now she's raising such a fuss cause. you know how often just marcus visits you twice

a week at least when she does we sure will. you know actually not why is that week is enough the problem is my husband marcus is here i take care of him and then my husband feels like i'm neglecting him and he gets annoyed he says he's superfluities when marcus is here that's exactly what he says. when marcus takes a shower here because his hair is greasy and my husband wants to take a bath and then the arguments really take off the mark marcus and my husband it's really tense always has been. like where is marcus anyway. and then you know to say diagnosed me with autism when i was 3 or 4 years old that's when they noticed that something was wrong. and i always played by myself and didn't really have any friends. then i started getting therapy at the

counseling center my mother took me there and then i met people where i realized oh i like them. that's when i realized it's much nicer to do things with other people instead of being alone all the time. marcus there you are. come with me into the living room and let's look at some photos to me and i'll take my coffee with me. but i think this picture must be from 1902. goes by so quickly. ok look at how funny i look. well you know just woken up there and i took a photo. and look at this one. drawing on this one something was bothering you again. this here is from daycare you had such

a cute little voice. i mean i have that lovely girl's voice which was nice for singing. and i wanted to keep that voice and was annoyed when my voice broke. there everyone's voice changes. and there i was playing with my wheelbarrow full moon you're almost 35 and you still have it you still play with that. sometimes but not as much as before. that well of course you were a child now you're an adult and you have other interests. at the counseling center i made some new friends that i didn't have before. now it's nicer to do things with other people and. before i didn't need anyone else. things were simpler back then and i didn't have as many problems so. yeah well

that's how life is if you have friends then you have to deal with disagreements if you're on your own you don't have any disagreements you know is not enough that's not what life is about. just don't just all school would all start all just was of course i wanted to help you connect with other people. and to have friends. on 4 inch off cons but sure you have more problems as a result that's clear but there are nice aspects to aren't there yes i know that. oh look papa showed me what a vacuum cleaner looks like from the inside. this income you took one look at it and you still know how to do it i love my my husband always said we'll manage this on our own you didn't want us to have any help so that i had to get a divorce. but

there was no other way. if i had no biological fathers they really struggle with it. i think and one of the stall there you go. look here's a green frog we'll put the frog in here too. right now this is a zoo. and this is quite old already. and i think i built this in 1903 when i was so used to play with my fingerboard here. one finger board here and then a 2nd one here. and that's how i used to play. once

in 1906 or 97 i got the stable. these here is our musical dice and yeah that's what i call them he's you know they look like guys. i got them out of radios and they make a lovely jingling sound they make music i mean you can play with them too. we stand you can build towers with them and then you can take a shot at them from your finger board and they fly everywhere. they're lovely. and women as you can see here i love people with down syndrome. they're so sweet and so nice i want to ramona is one of my many downey's.

ramona doesn't have any parents anymore which is also why she's like a member of my family. my mother also helps her quite a bit ramona is quite a bit different than the other ones here. especially your best friend. i don't really know. well i maybe had a bit more fun with some of them but ramona is the one who stuck around and. actually get good. ramona also has her own apartment neither one of us goes to the workshop anymore it wasn't right for us. now i don't have so much money and neither does ramona but it's enough to buy a bit of food. you know have some

scotch tape. and go away with your kisses i'm here i'll take your mouth shut when you talk too much. tape your mouth shut. yeah look we're dressed as devils talking too much. tape your mouth. yeah look we're dressed as devils. this tell you in love with marcus yes they are and marcus is in love with you yes we're a couple yeah we've been together for 11 years if he. so says if this is what he looks like as a girl. recognition he likes this stuff 6 he looks sexy. yeah.

we're not a couple who have started a 1000 times and now all say it for the 1000 and 1st time we're not a couple. you're my sister. i'm your sister. i think it's much nicer that we're not a couple and we're more like brother and sister. but you should still love me and but i do love you. when you're that way you know we'll never split up because you're practically my sister. and so if i were to hook up with a sweet boy a sweet guy with down syndrome who's maybe 40 years old. and if we were to become a couple. then you'd still be part of things. and that's.

very good yeah yeah yeah i'm a moron once a month i go to the radio group you. i call the radio group the cuddle group because this group does a lot of cuddling. and that's really fantastic. yeah . we have a rapper from duisburg here today on our radio show. i'm really proud that we have a show on the radio. and the rapper when you start the interview introduce him with his 1st and last name. should we use his rapper name the one he goes by on line. intend that you can give my full name because i only do rap maybe we'll talk about that too. but to you it. is boss of the

radio group and we get along super well. radio for you if i do you. mean yeah hello hello dear listeners this is radio for you and i'm sitting here in our media forum with a rapper you might have heard. he's from deuce borg. yes yes dick hello yeah how you. hello thanks for inviting me you know. how long have you been rapping have been from some of the fire started when i was 15 and now i'm 30 my 1st and foremost i'm a music for myself music always help me no matter how sad i was feeling. and that's how it is for me too some days i feel sad because people were mean to me or whatever. and on other days i feel good. and yeah i

wonder if you might have met marcus before how many schools did you go to. 15 so yeah 15. i went to 40. 2 straight years and it's not bad. thing for right 15 schools because i wasn't always as nice as i am now i used to pull girls' hair when they had braids. yeah. thank you for the interview thank you for coming. it was cool me time you know. so. the friend that. you have to hold the phone the other way well it'll turn out better.

it's my birthday and i'm 35 years old even if i feel more like 10 or 11. and. i'm looking forward to the party. lots of people are coming and i'm looking forward to it. i like it when they're long. but i look almost like a little princess. are you a little princess i don't know. you know maybe a cheeky little princess. if i were a real woman things would be much much better for me. myself and i thank you but i have no idea what i have to do because no one wants to tell me. my mother always tells me i'm a boy not

a girl. as i mean this when the form whenever i want to paint my fingernails and i waited till she goes on holiday for a week or 2. because normally i visit my parents a lot and. then my mother tells me to take it off and right then and there. and if i don't take it off she does it with the nail polish remover. and he said yes and then this stupid beard which i have to get rid of every day. sometimes i put on a woman's dress when my mother doesn't know that i sometimes go out that way she thinks i stay here in the apartment. maku says this is the most important thing even if you. yes and the only day that

it's really super here in the apartment. and unfortunately the only day where i can invite lots of people it once. i started tidying up about a week ago now i'll do the last bit in these 3 guys are helping me and i'm looking forward to it. and can you do that andrea blow it up whichever. oh. thank you. oh you can't come let's go it's too far. well that's too bad.

wrong and right you want me to buy you one. i thought he was doing this because it's fun but oh well. you're doing a great job with that and do the rest like that are never going over so time consuming. if. you. like going to the flea market my parents aren't so happy about it they always say i buy more than i sell that's true sometimes. and where should we go

we're selling. and we don't know where to go. in the middle 5 center union should i show you know to be faster. oh i could just buy a few things right now. when the lovely things they have. i wish i could just go exploring. oh look such a lovely train. and you know there's your name. you can set up your table want to have you have we have a blanket fine. i

mean this is like i'm sitting by the water and i'm about to go fishing. that's what a flea market is like for me you sit down and relax and wait for the fish. that is the time. and the blow up little box of the batteries charged. by mistake that's the expensive ones cost 8 euros oh yeah oh yeah. the rubber ducks. one and 2 little ones. good. yeah cause we have stuffed animals. but. this is great how much do you

want children. how about 3 year olds. i'm 3 nourished none of them down who gets the money and you decide here. it is you on that side there this is that you sister yeah. yeah that's just how much is this. track and spam to your all right to your interest. there. that is just. the sense i saw straying from fisher price. i want to go look at it.

so the bear can sin here. but. yeah i had my eye on this train for a while. it's not in the shops anymore oh yeah this that's why we come to the flea market because you can find them here in the house thanks jack today it's 10 euros you know watch. why don't we wait and see what happens when the days are over you can still decide then either it's gone or it's still here what do you think. now. is that number but yeah that's the. best and i had the polar bear. spy on the polar bears to euro's. you know it's super ok though the polar bear. ice 2 more euro's.

back to the train. i did notice should i put the locomotive aside so it doesn't get so much colder. could you how much is it you know it's not in the shops anymore so it's 10 euros. these what about 7 c. even if yes that's all right. so that's all they have found so how was the one from a hole in the 3 that i got my 4 on yeah and the 2 for the polar bear. among a lot of this is our. so let me put it away that's lovely.

such. as the. sun shall come up as of ok let's see what the others have. been and if. i'm going to long think both of them. i mean that this is our 2nd airplane and our 4th caterpillar oh. the new star and a helicopter. and. hang it all packed up. and kept going yes i thought i saw my mother over there i thought oh no my mother. but i guess it wasn't her. a woman with long blond hair i thought oh no she said in my young 9 they went to the campsite yeah right so today is

sunday but they could have left by 1 pm and be here already signed on to. let me. my father always says this is all rubbish anyhow and my mother says it's much too much oh well. right here because i'm so good with electrical stuff tarik from our radio show had an idea that. this is a repair café you bring your broken appliances here. the tarik said this might be right up my alley let's see. i have this was just an ordinary speaker from a surround sound system. here a little one like this. and i turned it into a big one. as.

we. both think. he she was so taken with the things i built that she said come on let's go to the people who are doing repairs and give it a try. oh. the lid won't stay down. to come do we have any contact spray in the box have them. well you know some of the i've seen this problem a lot. the dummy as i said i'm going. to let me go. to one. side. as a man you can leave it like this so that it opens like this. maybe

we should glue an arrow on it. and you. say i'm so is there another radio here. on. the fate of the problem is the dial keeps moving off the station. what should you think you might come back next month yes yes i'm looking forward to it again yes it's had 3 miles of. my. house while i'm looking forward to it. meanwhile i've been back 2 more times. you know we have our own camping spot here on the rhine river. you knew and in fact that this is where i learned how to swim and how to ride a bike and from time to days my father's birthday. and my mother and father were

divorced but then they got back together and married again my. now we're a real family again. i'm camping from here on the campsite and i need a place to get away from it all where i have my toys and my music and music. but my father doesn't understand that. there is a virtual reality that i'm being that who really wants to be told that their child is disabled through this river of course i wish that marcus were more grown up. but that's not going to happen on the friends. and i don't know if he'll ever be able to manage entirely on his own. words. he gets a certain amount of money but the manager's himself with the ranch to make sure

that everything's taken care of so. he doesn't really think about things like the phone bills. from telephone that son. does it just takes it for granted as long as the fan works even on to for the stuff so it's a full 3 year. or more notes and they're not having enough money to get to the end of the month isn't something that would occur to him. when something is broken when the sink is leaking or when i need to have a shade put up on the window that i need my father oxygen if you have a need him as a person. that's the only way i know him. so for the other things i have my friends.

and i spend weeks thinking about what i could give my father for his birthday and then i built something nice. so happy birthday. look here when the water containers fall you can put the 2 clamps inside the pipe. and when the water's for them. you know exactly i thought you might like it that's pretty special. you put some thought into the water won't spill over if i fill it up. so i mean not just does have a special talent. with she you have 3 she aged. sometimes yes sometimes no your mind gets pushed probably means when you go into marcus's apartment the noise just hits you. get to you.

all handmade that's what he's able to do now he wouldn't have managed it without my wife. being in finding the emotional side he probably made so i handle the technical side and she's better at the human emotional signed. your money your husband says he lets you handle most of it is the new end up having to deal with everything on your own. that's true. he leaves the house 8 in the morning and comes home at 7 in the evening. knowing all marcus every day to find out what he's been doing. some time. otherwise i can't go to sleep. when there's ramona 2 lives there as well.

what's it like knowing you'll never be able to stop taking care of mark. truly. past week it was very hard. to feel very well feeling that i could barely talk i just started to cry i'm never like that usually but now yesterday today i'm fine again the one who has to be strong and absolutely. over and over and by doing that you're even if he sometimes thinks that i don't like him and that's not really true i just don't like some of the things he does but that doesn't mean i don't like him. let's maybe he didn't show it too often. so it's not everyone is good at that his. son so now i'm going to play oh i'm looking forward to it. and i hope there aren't any children you know it's

nice of course i want to play on my own. pleasure moved by that maybe our problem is that we have both just the way we are both of us and we've been over this. all many executions she can't really imagine what others are feeling. sometimes people say that about me to. find that tragic that he is maybe but not as good as my wife we should still remember the fall. so now i'm near the river.

when it's a movie no fun then the people keep telling me to grow up then they say i should just throw my choice in the trash and good in the me. and them with humor but i say i want to stay the way i am. i don't want to grow on i want to keep playing like a child. that's met makes me happy. my. enter the conflict zone confronting the powerful lives in national criminal courts as a new enemy in washington the jump administration has refused to give has no legitimacy

and says it once it's a done my guest this week here in the hague is cheering sujit who is the president of the i.c.c. how can he defended the organization against such cost position conflicts of. 30 minutes. surrounded by coal mine. this is the village of a creamy in northern greece. people were getting ready to move away until it turned out there's no cool here. that was 8 years ago. up until most of us ouster no one seems to care for the comes to. mind even if. you know.
