8:40 am
about getting paid enough 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 five minutes. and then it goes. in germany. had to overcome his lifetime aversion to other delimiters when he decided to make a documentary in which he and eleven other victims would pose nude for a calendar first i went to 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 want to look at myself.
8:41 am
money come on nobody's perfect change as if. 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 so was really big time we were fight i think for me. also as a lender miters but also for the public some say. the energy change. legal fund law is all a logical thing there nobody's perfect thanks. in two thousand and eight nico received the german equivalent of an oscar for his documentary summit in. the east of china for media and for media heist i know that i sometimes. we are dealing. with the environs if you go to didn't
8:42 am
meet and talk to. keep. us up. thank you 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 or you know her very own 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 limb and i i
8:43 am
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 that and then other foot hands fingers and. i was crying and all the intern started babin we knew that she would be ok.
8:44 am
and i only are best friends it's not hard to understand why i. took up to be a ballet dancer because that's something that her mother wanted to be and she was very. humorous to us. when the lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wells. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the crime and merry go round lifts only the one percent. of the time we can all middle of the room signals. i mean really
8:45 am
really. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in this population to fall for if you look ahead any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most culpable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said therefore which. sat on a statement that i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving a crime. i didn't think the numbers mean something they matter to us as over one trillion dollars in
8:46 am
debt more than ten points over time stamping each. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the old for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent from august last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per cent . first and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars are you industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remembering the one that showed you know ford 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 care if it was
8:47 am
a she or he 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 and i was going to maybe try teaching you know what it's all about teach him 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 mean 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.
8:48 am
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 just after knowing you can't just judging by the. you know what he brings when he goes much more so than anything on and bring you know he gives great fatherly advice and is a great role model is a great person. and that's all i can ask. louise mason had been a single mother for ten years when she received a christmas card from an old boyfriend of her louise hadn't been very well and trying to a christmas card and calm down a federal loan i think the spark reignited it is the best way to describe it he kissed me goodbye and butterflies were. i was floating
8:49 am
on on a cloud and he told his wife he was leaving. she helped impact our. and then he moved down and reading together sent. the little note it up for an understanding with each other and it's really weird that we cannot it's one thing and you guys wouldn't know what i'm talking about you don't about but are now straight away what you've pointed out 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 each other it's as though the six think you know it really really fascinating i where we communicate to each other without even talking. and i think we all think we were made for it to that we are now. dharma think i'm twenty eight years old divorced god a kid losing my hair gaining a gut no arms what
8:50 am
a package and then i got to thinking you know i've got to change this that's how alan introduce himself to his future wife darlene who was sitting in the audience one day that conference was the first time i heard him speak in it actually believe it or not 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 on the finger and it's still there today. you can't even describe it it's like all these years of anxious and
8:51 am
frustration just melted away in five minutes. you still right. he had lighted his leather 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 out of beijing it's getting better. where there's a lot of credit but 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 a bit get really but what has supplied the fuel for what drives.

8:54 am
apologized for the suffering they're coaxed. and it pay for that you know for their wrong it was no a kludge it. comes from the heart. their apology came from their lawyers it is the n.h. was a longish. size and just them and us adults is even. f.m. they couldn't have gone into some of the chalk we had to get up and fight aids day and day every day in court where the incredible damage they've grown to or don't do . to me and them have them all. good intel is still a privately owned company the votes family owns it today just as it did in one hundred sixty it does not have show shareholders demanding returns the vets family's tosin a fortune has been variously estimated at between two and three billion euros it
