a. lot better than either and that people. because i'm not a handicapped person. or people get it wrong when they look at all the law and they thank god it's tremendous how you can do things with his feet well i suppose if you look at your feet it's tremendous but these are my feet these are my hands too and i have been doing it forever these are not tremendous feet is the only thing that i've got so when i pick up a cup and i have a drink you know. wow what a thrill that's what it is and i do think. thanks. i thought that i was going to have to be a nine. i didn't think that i was going to go on i didn't know what was going to happen and that that's not how it happened i had a great high school run i mean you know i had a lot of fun friends i had too much fun and if you're like me and my friends

you drive around and look for holes and you go skinny and that's what we did for entertaining. i have a problem with girlz i could always get very nice girls girls intelligent girls but i couldn't get the stupid. and i wanted the stupid. one night stand but that i never achieved she was wearing glasses maybe notice. i found my now why you when she was sixteen and. maybe you call it a lack of opportunity but i'm still with her. she was long and not still pretty. for most getting behind the wheel of a car was the road to independence and freedom. louise mason was determined to

drive no matter how difficult it was for her just physically to get behind the wheel and do up her seat. in the. drive these trucks are now shot tonight disable. somebody else but the test. was exactly the same as everyone else there's no difference they came so not be driving and we were transferred to most of my life. and. my parents they were the most practical people i think i've ever met in my entire life so when it came to learning how to drive. that was just practical that way you

can get around on your own you know independent people to take care of you don't have to worry about. taking a bus or use your cam and it was really just about trying to figure it out. anyway i just love driving when i got a lot of different things to do. most people don't consider the power of my mind. and i my mind is very powerful tool and it get into it interjects all kinds of things into my system so that my feet are literally. my hands so when it comes to driving. i get really seriously and i have high explain why can't i can drive with one foot on the wheel what is peoples excuse they've got both hands and their feet and yet they drive like. this doesn't make any sense to me. in germany. knew from an early age he had to choose a future occupation that would not require the use of his deformed arms. to meet on the phone. i realised quite.

or a painter or a. i can't sing so i became a director because i'm you know i can't do anything else but to pursue his dream nikko went to prestigious film schools and apprenticed under the legendary german director rayner vernon fast binder before making a number of successful feature films but there was one prize job he wanted badly directing a big movie until late in mind and the head of german t.v. said no you can't have the job but you can make a documentary on. the to might and i said you know i you know i think that was income and i shouted at him i use the f. word very loudly and very often because i said i apply for the job you know you pay well and not the documentary filmmaker who gets your pate you know and that's all

typical you know you give the disabled guy the side job you know and then i went home and my wife said what's the matter and i told her they want me to do a film about the little mite and what do i know about the little might go. and she looked at me and said they go it's time to look the devil in these. and i don't know what your lives are like sometimes life can really be rough on people i understand that i get it i've been in real life alvin la is a motivational speaker who's influenced audiences in north america and australia with his message of hope is specially to more than two million youngsters who heard his top speaking is the best thing i could have ever cited here you're helping kids and they need to have somebody come in and tell them that it's going to be ok but i get such tremendous joy out of doing it there is nothing in my life that makes you happier than speaking to kids nothing and the next time you're ready to give up or

quit or packenham well if it helps even a little bit. remember the goofy looking guy that played the drums with his feet but remember the words i live by every day. there's no such word as can't. thanks. allen travels over one hundred thousand miles a year on his own but after thirty years on the road his body is starting to wear it takes its toll career and that stuff around i mean you know my body may not last as long as normal bodies do because of what i'm putting it through i mean as much as i make this look easy i'm still put my body through a lot of stuff just the pain in my back from carrying my luggage scar tissue in my shoulder from carrying a briefcase for thirty five years and you know there's not really a shoulder here so what i'm carrying it with i should be doing this i should have like a sherpa or something. how does a guy without arms function on the road all by himself i can carry my own luggage

with straps i check into all tells all on my own i i rent cars my keys are you go oh thank you boss and my clothes think you are now why do i rent cars and it's just how i prefer to function i don't do cabs because strangely they don't stop when you go. i still travel around all the airports checking into hotels eat bad food drive in everywhere in the middle of nowhere getting involved in blizzards and swearing at my wife for putting me out yet in another life and death situation and not think about give it up so i mean i can get on a rant but at the end of the day she also says this line this is a wonderful line. i mean if you're tired of traveling i'm sure there's a cubicle with your name written out in a windowless office somewhere in the middle of nowhere for a job that you to five minutes. and then it goes. in germany. had to overcome his lifetime aversion to other things in my shoes when he decided to make a documentary in which he and eleven other victims would pose nude for

a calendar first i went to a disability school and from that moment on i wanted to have nothing to do with so little marcus anymore and then because i made this film nobody's perfect i was kind of forced to me. to make this film. i didn't want to look at myself. funny come on nobody's perfect changed as. it changed how i look at myself. it changed the movement of so that i might it's complete because the first lawyer is not someone else not doctors were fighting for us really big time we were fighting i think for me. also as a lender miters but also for the public some say. the energy change.

eco fund law is all a lot of you know nobody's perfect thanks. in two thousand and eight nico received the german equivalent of an oscar for his documentary on climate in. this defining for media and for media to host this i know that i sometimes. we are dealing. with the environs if you go to didn't meet and talk to. keep. us up. thank the us to get the money. in college eileen cronin fell in love with andy a graduate student in economics i was in love very definitely for sight. although i already had

a boyfriend you know i immediately was drugged are you nervous graciousness and intelligence. her wit we moved in together. and we got pregnant very quickly. very quickly. i was wracked with worry all my life about having a child because i didn't know for sure that my mother had taken the limit i was kind of panicked it started just settle in oh my god i'm going to have a baby i don't even know if i can have a baby i don't know if the baby's going to have legs or not have legs or something else but also literally i did not know how i was going to carry a baby in my back and so they did the ultrasound the alters sound technician zoomed in right away found foot

one foot blew it up took a picture and wrote footlights and then other foot hands fingers and. i was crying and all the interne starting babin we knew that she would be ok. in year and i only know our best friends it's not hard to understand why i'm here took up to be a ballet dancer because that's something every mother wanted to be and she was very . humorous to. join me every first day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of

the world the politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you there. when lawmakers manufacture consent to step up to the public well. when they're running close to some project over themselves. when the final merry go round lifts and be the one percent. that's not going nor middle of the room six. million real new.

i don't think the democrats are much closer to negotiate with the republicans or president trump so i think people are going to have to acknowledge that the united states over the next couple years is going to be consumed even more so by our internal our turtle bickering in affairs and. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is a rich one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happy each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich the point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business

showed you can afford to miss the one and only. when his first wife sandy became pregnant alvin law was terrified. about what the future held when i saw him come out of there with two arms and. two halves of the five little fingers on. i didn't care what brand he was at all or if it was a she or he and it didn't matter. it was just the most tremendous feeling my son. rolling back i worried a lot about how i was going to play ball with them i was going to maybe try teaching know what to call them teach them to play frisbee impeachment to throw or you know i mean all those things that you want to have a care if yours do. we don't have to have arms to be a father. you don't need arms to love. you don't you know arms to be there you

don't need arms to listen you don't need arms to be a father at all unfortunately too many fathers that have arms don't realize that. they were forget that that's true you just have to be there for him. and. that surprised me. the tears i don't i'm not sad i'm just. he's big he was a little that. you know i miss that little boy sometimes but that's not how life works right now is a normal regular person he's got the same regular personalities nothing really wrong about it and you just have to step in knowing you can't just judging by the way he looks what he brings and what he gives is much more so than anything i could bring you know he he gives great fatherly advice he's a great role model is a great person. and that's all you can ask.

louise mason had been a single mother for ten years when she received a christmas card from an old boyfriend i've heard. luis haven't been very well in atlanta a christmas card and come down and had a loan i think the spark reignited is the best way to describe it. kissed me goodbye and butterflies were. i was floating on on a cloud and he told his wife he was leaving. she house impact all. and then he moved danny raving together sent. to live out of other an understanding with the two of them it's really weird you know the way you cannot at something and you go i wouldn't know what i'm talking or what you don't about right now straight away what's the point in that you know that

a lot of the head or a mannerism you pick up you know a little more if you just pick up on it or that it's as though the fix then you know it really is really fascinating we communicate what you're there without even talking. and i think we all think we're made for it to that we are. and i remember thinking twenty eight years old divorced got a kid losing my hair gaining a gut no arm what a package and then i got to thinking you know i've got to change this that's how alan introduce him to our to the future wife. sitting in the audience one day that conference was the first time i heard him speak in it actually believe tonight sounds corny but it was a life changing event for me i was in the process of. considering making a final decision about a rather unhappy marriage. i thought yeah right life is too short i have to

make decisions for myself. i mean anybody that sees her for the first time missed that smile and just absolutely and i melted. friends to tell me that i smiled more the day of my wedding than they've ever seen me smile in my entire life and it was permanently glued there for days that was the beginning of the joy that ended in the ring going on in the still there today. you can't even describe it it's like all these years of frustration just melted away in five minutes. you still. write. he had lighted his letter she's passed her best before date so she's got no choice you've got to stick with me about there's no option you know me. i don't stop traffic. you know you don't really care us there really has.

a lot of. lows just like anybody else. getting better and. it's getting better. where there's a lot of credit that i get for doing this but i didn't just do this you know i had my parents first i had my teacher second and then i had her and those three elements of my life they've really been what has supplied the fuel for what drives . in australia. with the british company that bought and still is co-defendants in a multi-million dollar class action suit centered on the next row case melbourne woman lynette rowe is suing the drugs manufacturer grin and the company wanted the case in germany where it's never successfully been sued but the victorian so. court today dismissed that application this was an application by the company that might

lead him on the worst drug in the history of medicine to have an armless legless woman who has no money and doesn't speak german if she wishes to have it done in court have to move to germany for the next five years so we had. a grin tells a defendant's grins how have this never given never admit a thing never considered fought to the bitter end of the still was a much more compassionate sensible way to approach which was once convinced of the strength of the climb i settled with when i couldn't tell didn't post sent we had to get up and fight aids day every day and cope with the incredible damage they grow into adults don't really know now that the settlement amount was a multi-billion dollar some it was a sum sufficient to provide lynn with first class care for the rest of off really dramatically transform the rose law grown into refused to pay

a cent of the multi-million dollar settlement a two months later held a press conference so it could apologize to its victims for the first time in fifty years the other way no it's because you only surety this your first chance to get a longish two victory in front managed to mention. so it doesn't obviously have to sell out their apologized for some. reach out to us all. they are they never apologized for the suffering their coast. and they pay for that you know for their wrong it was no a clutch it already comes from the heart. their apology came from their lawyers it because he needs all the longest possible this isn't just him and i should also then yes i was taught f.m. they couldn't have gone into song and chalk we had to get up and fight stage day and day every day in court where the incredible damage they've grown to or don't do

. to me many of them won't go. good intel is still a privately owned company the votes family owns it to die just as it did in one hundred sixty it does not have show shareholders demanding returns the vet's family's tosin a fortune has been variously estimated at between two and three billion euros it would not drive that family into. penury or bankruptcy or poverty to loosen the purse strings and behave in a more generous fashion to suppose i'd not only want the money i want the revanche . i want the rivera show they they kill two thousand children yeah they made another five thousand children slice miserable they make the life of ten thousand parents also. they are responsible they should pay for.

themselves no longer makes them in the mind and continue to deny most of the little mite is outside germany any compensation no survivors feel they have received an acceptable apology. going into our refuse to be interviewed for this film. the original thalidomide drug is easy and cheap to manufacture and continues to be made and distributed by several drug companies and governments to treat lafferty unfortunately it is mostly used in countries that often do not enforce rigorous controls and regulation as a result a little mind injured babies are still. tragically there seems to be no limits to the thalidomide disaster. yeah.

with the systems to set myself. my bill for sunday and this is their.

roles going to say the board of business with the most assuredly. this isn't with. a lot of slow slow slow slow slow motion i am. ok see that the guys doing that deal but you also look at them what are you funniest diplo it's most it's a small show such as the moon somos the. moon when you. move.

dollars. dollars. dollars. dollars dollars what are the. we got carried away here we care the music with us. we are here with a drag here. by you looking to get rid of those who are not go away who will not die quietly. the heart of what we do is the truth. i don't think the democrats are much mode in the go shape with the republicans or president so i think people are going to have to acknowledge that the united states

over the next couple years is going to be consumed even more so by or internal our total bickering in affairs and. pranking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive trucks people who rush to a small town in north dakota was among the employment rate of zero percent like the gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore just

slowed down so much they lost jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and that's a tough reality to deal. with . the week's biggest stories from may's ministerial meltdown the british prime minister. plan and her own government and if we can resit they said come. and second referendum calls. for last m.p.'s to consider the national interest and give it their backing the withdrawal agreement represents a huge and damaging saia the deal that is already dead in the water. needn't be classified documents revealed that the cia x. parent.
