>> welcome back. belgian politicians remain unable to resolve their differences that have left the

country without a government. with no decisive winner in the last election and the flemish as the strongest political force, a new government is farther away than ever. they're seeking advantages for their own respective regions. the flemish though closer to the dutch and they identify more with the french. the differences are also reflected in the media landscape. get one magazine with a couple of additions. >> movies and television, music and art. this is how the belgian magazine sells itself. this caters to a couple of belgian lifestyles, one name on a couple of different covers. flemish on the left.

this is a normal state of affairs. these are the editors of the same magazine but work in different departments. >> they have the same name but this is produced by different editorial departments to fit a different leaderships. >> even from the front cover, it is clear that they have different ideas about fangs. they use more color in their addition of the magazine. >> it is better to have an original idea then, the eighth team. >> down the corridor, there is a different philosophy. the editor and chief has an eye for detail. his addition is characterized by clear and elegant designs. >> over year, the magazine is

designed around a featured person, and his appeals to the readers. in terms of design, we must print in black and white. we use as little color as possible so as to not distract the reader. >> the focus is on style and music, as they dedicate their magazine to films and books. the two teams of writers are only a short walk away, but the readership is worlds apart. >> we take more from american culture. on the other hand, they take more from france. we even have a couple of national television broadcasters each in their own languages and independent of

still there, in contrast to the government, which we do not even have. >> the king called on lawmakers to put their differences behind them and to form a government. he also had a message for the people. >> the people must not only remind their representatives to make brave and necessary decisions, they must also endeavored to create harmony in society >> they are doing just this. their web site aims to bridge the cultural and linguistic divide between the flemish and the walloons. >> we wanted something that was not critical, something

constructive for society that was not political. we wanted to show people that they can and want to live together. >> the say their web site is not about preserving the unity of the country, they just want people to know each other a little bit better. >> i think my friends and i are the perfect group that we can enrich each other's lives in simple ways and become friends. even if we are different in many respects, we have a lot in common. there are not many things that cannot be settled over beer. besides the marquee, a love of beer is something that they both have in common. >> there is plenty of beer in the popular holiday destination on the northern coast, where

the belgian set aside their differences as they enjoy the surf and the sea breeze. >> at the coast, this is a multi-lingual. this is a holiday destination in flanders, to the north of belgium. the locals speak flemish among themselves, but they will switch for visitors. >> these are good languages. >> so i hear. although the political risk is deepening, the locals feel at one with each other here, for this summer, at least. >> the only thing i am interested in is what the weather is going to be like. right now this is typically belgian but this does not stop people from going to the beach.

century. he says the guests are not bothered about the divide. >> the daily things that they are leaving behind, they take this up again when they go home. >> for some, there is no issue. many young people do not see what the fuss is about. >> this is simple, being from belgium. there are flemish people here. that is important that they understand this. >> may be what the politicians need is a holiday. >> that is everything for "in depth." thank you for joining us.
