60 minutes on d w, i just got to use this with also great, a blue. oh, what you are seeing a stamp and tricks performed by the german champion in wheelchair. skating more on that. sorry. coming up on the show. and with that one, welcome to a special edition of your max. today we focus on diversity,

and this is what else we have for you. beauty is h last and the senior monarchs are 50 plus us less go rather boy, less artist, carlow from scotland. it's tough, but 1st we've got a story about a british race car driver, charlie martin. she has had to overcome lots of challenges, not only on the race track, but also in her private life. she came out as transgender a few years ago and then decided to tradition, which was tough, especially as she felt she had to choose between a career and motor sports, of being her true self. in the end though, it all turned out and let's take a look at her incredible johnny. oh, on the racetrack charlie martin fights for every additional 2nd. the 40 year old

british driver is also fighting for greater acceptance for transsexual people and the l. g. b, t q plus movement as a whole, as the 1st trans woman to compete. and the 24 hours of lamar race getting to the mom and achieving my go. sure when a d dot is a joy that because it's that it's the biggest thing i can think doing. but equally, i want to do something that can inspire close to change to one, some one he's l g b, she key plucks, making history. the greatest race in the world. it's good happened she only then she drove her 1st race in 2004 at age 23 and a poo joe for love of motor. sports has only accelerated the feeling of speed and pushing a south and exhilaration were very important things to me. and it's funny, i know it makes the read it like

even as a child, she never felt truly comfortable in her own skin. i've white in the morning and see myself in the mirror and i just realized, yeah, i don't even have any connection with the person staring back at me anymore yet because i just, i didn't feel happy about how my body looks. i was very uncomfortable about my gender because i, i need fundamentally there was something wrong. but once in the driver's seat she was in her element most were said, the right spot. it was like a half placed me bit. that was at a point in my life when i grew up feeling very limited, because knowing that transgender from a young age, making me feel very limited in terms of my life, it was like, you have to choose between being the person you want to be doing things,

career wise and so on and so on, that you want to half in your life. you can't have both those things. for the sake of her racing career, charlie martin suppressed her true self, but eventually she reached her limit. ah, what's the point in living? if you're not living with you, and that was january 20 twelf that i, i decided i can't this year i'm going to transition. she headed back out on to the track for the 1st time again, 9 months after her gender transition. scary thing. can imagine a lot of people did nay. what was happening so you know me or did notice maybe like why is there transpose here? fortunately, 7 or 8 of my clay spans i raced with came over. so me know, can you think hog i, hey, how you doing?

you may say it was enough for me to think i'm going to come back next spring and she picked up her racing career where she left off, but everything else about her life changed completely. she moved from lester to brighton to get active in the l g. b t q was movement. in the meantime, she's become something of a spokesperson for it. i want to help other people find the happiness that i found in facilitating more inclusive environments where everybody can be their true authentic self. now, she prepares for her races harder and more persistently than ever before. after her gender transition, her motor sports career really took off. i started my confidence and self belief that i'd never known in my whole life. and i think that had

a huge impact noticed on racing, but on so many levels on just how you think can function in a and then you know, live as a person. now charlie martin has faith that anything is possible, even that she can become the 1st trans woman to take on the hitherto very male domain of the 24 hours of them all. and when maybe even as soon as 2023 from motor sports to stance in a wheelchair is another gap. see an inspiring, sorry, living in a big city with all its streets, curbs and stairs can be challenging. especially for those who sit in weird chairs, not every place is accessible, but they really bullard doesn't see it that way. he uses his wheelchair, like a skate bought and has even one championships in the still emerging sport. a real role model. one little spins grinds along the curve and ollie's

eye for food stamps. 35 year old david loses, must not escape water tricks on his wheelchair. move is a challenge. sometimes painful, but always exciting. lot lot of who, when you do something, you've tried a 1000 times before and you finally make it, it's such a mego relief, ego relief. for me. one example is the hand plant and it's the market. always some trick. i've been trying for years give up until i get it down half way and then finally pull it off perfectly. and that's what i did that one day of fun. luckily there's a video of it. and it was indescribable, because at 1st i didn't even realize it. i just rolled away and thought to myself a big result. what was that? but what was that? and i talked to my helmet in the air, it was such a mega joy. it's hard to put it in, we're an established lab. lucy scape, when he's with a lifestyle and to schools. and he encourages others to give it a try, offering workshops and to is to out the towns such as he and billy at the local hot

spots. the skateboard is struck this stuff where i can open robinson. i'd really like to work towards making skateboarding and be a max riding and everything along those lines more inclusive. and so that they open up a bit more to others. because i don't think we need a wheelchair skating culture of its own, but rather more of an inclusive community thing is absolutely biskin nicest thing for the spectacular stunt riding the sketches you special reinforced and spring mountain wheelchairs. they can take even these kinds of punishment. pick up if you start with just one step of course than 2 than 3 and then 4 up and now i can only over 4 steps pretty easily. if i the are a little to the right. it's a somewhat different story us david le boucher has been confined to who chasing page 21 when he fell down a stairwell leaving him paraplegic by that i had been doing this for about 14 years now is that my accident was 14 years ago and while i was still in rehab,

i started having fun trying things out in the wheel chair in various situations will up and down as absent stairs, up and skating was the logical continuation consequence. and he has devoted himself to skating ever since he trying todd mastering stumps. he won the world championship in 2014 the gym and championship twice and place 3rd several times. in other words, championships, you're with candles. i've been has gone a full shot. not all that hell bent on becoming a champion or winning a competition or then. but when i am competing, i get into a frame of mind where i want to do my level best and give it a really good ron, buddy, all the and then i want the jury to appreciate it. accordingly, julie dusty was facing help with that of the wheelchair. much close society organizes competitions to wound cleanseth up wheelchair skate is came from online virginia to the building opens this contest after 2. he hi anxious, coolest. by the pandemic who age groups to pot and on the jury was none other than

thank the cookies. as a won't champion and twice jim and champion. he sits some things an example for the youngsters, and will show me in athletic one. if i'm not finding recently more than anything, i think it's important for kids in wheelchairs to be able to have a role model who's also in a wheelchair to pick. not only can they copy the tricks they can copy many other things as well, like how i do everyday things and how i deal with certain difficulties that their parents often just fail does the lot mostly buy a ton of nice. did. like conventional skateboarding uci screeching is classified as an extreme sport. hardly any one leads to whom he without bruises, but to guard against most serious injuries, especially round his neck. everybody was homeless and protective. keith with the right equipment, even the youngest, can bring their excitement, dedication, and no device to be. but i've heard then it's really gratifying to see that they've given some thought to what they want to show off in the time they got through the stages there's and they can present themselves. so i'd say the next generation for

this board is a short list. what is the vision? it's a meeting experience for joining the burden. woochie a skate is as the sun slowly goes down over alexander class. it's a feeling of being a part of something and seeing inclusion in practice. a great to an exciting day. they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but when you look at the ad campaigns magazines, runways, it often seems that only young women are considered beautiful. luckily that is changing. senior model, also called 50 pluses and silver foxes, are more and more in demand. the industry has simply discovered that diversity south ah, this fashion shoot is taking place on the spanish island of my orca. but what you might not notice at 1st glance is how every model here is at least 50 years old.

these senior models are also called best agers or silver foxes. hello. yeah, my name is hi camaro. i've been living here in the yoke for 2 years. i'm 69 years old and i'm a modeled h been and i'm not asking. i live in majorca, i'm 80 years old and also work as a model or day into i'm 10 castrati from chimney. i'm 53 years old and i went to some auto auto. sylvia dick who had deviate from germany, did the casting. she has the agency, the best age models, international, headquartered, and switzerland and majorca. she established her agency about 20 years ago and recognized the 50 plus hers potential early on. what's best each more effort to have the key to success is a 50 plus model is not being afraid of your age. i tell them where in the wrinkle business, if it doesn't like any good to someone to call me up and tell me i'm 60 but look 30, i always say them and then i might as well get

a 30 year old. i want models to embrace their i don't yet look healthy and elegant, and as naturalist possible, not to the hoover common, even on the covers of fashion, magazines, seniority often doesn't seem to matter any more. there is great demand for charismatic actresses like 76 year old helen mirren from the u. k. 78 year old lauren hutton, from the u. s. and 87 year old british actress judy then these elegant seniors would have been considered old ladies back in the day. this year some strutted down the catwalk at marcel ostertag fashion show. and a few are also customers of the fashion designer. as if given him an awfully branford him, a lot of labels still madly pursue this youth craze, and only send out young super skinny models on the catwalk can. but i think they're behind time. i haven't done it. i am to present my fashion on people of all ages. there after all people of all ages lie, it would it this way you get a much better feel for how these pieces look on real women who actually stop by our

store and buy these clothes. allison, those then young models do put on great shows, but they don't shop at our store through shop men to her. back to my yoga, 69 year old hike, m alpha is a former german t v presenter. at photo shoots, the senior model often wears a gray wig to look older. but she doesn't think the youth craze is going anywhere anytime soon. god, to do his ged, social media like instagram, and really reinforced the youth. christ hudson gives us a law. and i'm, it's still, there's an alternative trend for she to accept diversity and little affection here . and, and i think we're should focus on that anthea not needing to get it fixed. and mrs . oh, the not to haka is the oldest model on the set to day. she once worked as an architect, she wouldn't have dreamt of becoming a model at age. 80 her secret to looking good. her i think she's in good shape

by taking a cold shower every morning in summer and winter. it really does me good museum and it certainly seems to do my body good. what. so that's one thing and i also eat healthy and it never smoked, nor nico i, tanya casso, hottie has been working as a model for over 30 years. now. her attitude towards the job has shifted over time. i think when i started modeling at a chain, i was ambitious. i'd say that if i didn't get a job back then i was disappointed and took it a bit personally and woman. but now if i go to accosting and don't end up landing the job built in that so okay, need learn to keep a clung head and not get looked out awesome on you think. and i just wasn't the right time to pick that. so even if the appeal of youth may never disappear, our image of beauty is changing to include more and more women who embrace their grey hair and wrinkles. our perception of

beauty is changing is becoming more diverse and diversity is the focus of our show today. even entertainment like burlesque shows have become totally acceptable. well ask, which is more than just erotic dancing is quite a long history. it was always performed by women, but there are exceptions. tom hallo, for example, is a boy less for former ah. relies heavily into the world to me and i'm very, very grateful for that. i've trained most of my life literally most of my life to be a performer. so it feels like home and it feels comforting, and it feels like we're meant to be turned away from the scottish city of glasgow. had dreamt of performing on stage since he was

a child. and now he travels the world as a burlesque artist and has won several prizes. my dream originally was to be a musical theater performer and i trains and dance and musical theater. and then all of a sudden i got an addition for a burlesque club in glasgow and then i went in addition, which is really cool. and ever since 10 i just been performing and burlesque and cabaret, take my clothes off or 2nd, some shortens all the fun stuff. and yeah, i'm very lucky that i get to do. i love the most plesk and false erotic stage performances in 1st period is the form of variety theater in the 19th century strip tease elements within added later in the early 20th century. we have 2 sides and the berlin squirrels, the burlesque site which comedy sat our party humour. and in the strict he's part which is the taking off the clothes part,

and teasing audience. boiling this is furnished performed by men and it emerged in the 1990. this performance style is clearly defined to playfully test the boundaries with track. my inspiration comes from musical theater and old hollywood. so some of my favorite movie stars are muslim and roll. and more than a d trish to the garland lies menilli. camp power for women. am aware that just being a guy doing a female art form, such as burlesque, says a lot for itself. so i don't need to see too much but i'm also aware that i'm a guest at the table of a female or form. so i need to be respectful of all the women that came before me

increase this art form. tom harlow likes to take at least 2 hours of time to complete his transformation. and this is the most fun part for him. besides actually performing i believe that when you go and see a show of any kind, you should feel something, no matter what those that could be. that could be love that could be admiration by could be disgust. i could be fear good performance should make you feel something when you, when you've left and yes, mit you question to certain extent and but it can just be for pure enjoyment. hollow performance, but the writing room in glasgow twice week. he showed combines boy lisk elements singer and, and i

don't think you could be this heightens version of yourself the whole time. it won't be very annoying to mosul or people. i'm in the way of normal life, but it does help you get through tough times. i'm gives you a bit of a scale prism for me anyway, i'm fine to say enjoy in my life. and that's exactly what tom harlow conveys to his audience. bear in mind the up if he's with ever tried cutting vegetables with your eyes closed on please it with a big knife. so where's my carrot? ah, okay. oh, i think this was maybe not my best idea, but i wanted to get a feel for what it would be like to cook line. just like antonio chat to la. we'll even run a gl near restaurant in a small town in central italy, guests from all over the country and beyond. come to dine there and many don't even

know that he's blind. how does he do it? ah, antonio chalk, the law can smell every single ingredient, although he cannot see, he can create the most demanding dishes. ah, good for me, it's not a problem that i can't see where, because you can also see what their hand is equally money. every morning the italian chef bakes his soured oak red with sausage or cheese filling on board dominga shula. i never actually think about the fact that i can't see that i will completely blind robin on benzo. my. i feel like a normal person, a bumpy center. i'm sure you're maybe it's because i so much enjoy preparing these great dishes, higher, crisp, and they put it by the kid. he's cuisine traditional italian with a dash of fantasy in the village of bel videos that and say near the adrian

coast, you will find his restaurant. lots have added mandojano, keep on the menu such dishes as minute for yet with pecorino. yaki with truffles or asparagus quiche with bacon. he hears if the onions for the spaghetti carbon nata give to hot and smells when the pasta water boils. you won't go. i feel with the work that the bacon is getting harder now. sticking a bit to the pan and slowly getting crispin, although i can smell and here in water it, when it doesn't mean i'm better than other cooks committee just more concentrated on because i'm not distracted. i thought and rely completely on smell touches and hearing the thought, a thought as a young man, antonio george de la was already working as a cook in his birth place near naples, along with his wife. he opened his own restaurant in bed. the dead. it was 10 say in 2001 on new year's eve, 2005. he was hit by

a firework in front of his restaurant and lost his eye sight. ah, he refused to retrain. returning to his kitchen to test out if he could still manage there as a blind man. tribute, old least look if i noticed immediately that i could still handle the night and me a night as my frantic window he drove up in the beginning. i often cut myself a but not any more gay and realizing that my hands could still handle the knife pretty well. gave me courage, i go properly, i learned quickly to belay and chop again. your main den of and that's when i said to myself, if i can cut blind, then i can do other things to regarding, he wrote a book about his story. it boiled in by the law, which means the darkness in the pan. when chopping his keen sense of smell and touch, helps him to assess the quality and freshness of the ingredients and make the best choices was like a fish in the

kitchen. almost everything remains as he last saw it before the accident. in the beginning, a cook would assist him, but in the meantime, antonio chuck the law does almost everything on his own. again, his wife manolo mariani helps with some tasks. her husband, sudden blindness, was a great shock to her. in wonder for a world class. today i didn't know where to start again, how to go on. everything had changed drastically. all just thought was among the mean though, when with time you find a way you have to keep going got the, the me that a full stuff with their children were born after the accident. antonio has never seen his son. he doesn't only run a restaurant, he enters competitions, does cooking shows on tv and teaches budding shafts. ah,

the 60 seats in his restaurant are almost always booked out a restaurant whose reputation reaches far beyond the small italian town. good. sort of buddhist, very good and none of us would have guessed that the ship was blind. occasionally antonio chopped. the law greets his guests personally. but mostly he doesn't have time to spare from the cooking. before his accident, his ambition was to earn a michelin star, and despite his blindness, he still hoped to achieve this one day. that was all for today. but on our website, you'll find information about our latest view, a draw, plus info on the w's uncensored collection. on the label, there are tips on how to excess blocked media around the world. thanks for watching and take care
