Extraordinary personal stories from around the world. Today, a brother and sister give an eloquent and honest description of what it is like to grow up below the poverty line in the UK. Also, the paralysed American baseball star who was told he would never walk again describes what it was like to take his first steps thanks to a pioneering new treatment. And, old fashioned fishing in Belgium - on horseback.
