that is why most of the people in amsterdam go by bike.if your interested in funny and nice invidious, go to youtube. but you will see a lot of videos in which the bicycle and the car cooperate. these are some pictures and examples of how the public authorities can invest in cycling. this is a parking space for a cyclist. tend thousand bicycles can be stored there. -- 10,000 bicycles can be stored there. you can build a shelter for about 30,000 bicycles. now, what can employees do? many employees are working on the bicycle programs. this picture is a picture of a bicycle shelter at the company where my wife works. it is quite luxurious. that it is a lawyer's firm, 500 lawyers work there, and most of them, by bicycle. -- and most of them come by bicycle. many companies give their employees their bicycle with their name on that. it is a form of advertisement. many companies, the company where i work for, the chamber of commerce, they have bicycle and scooter sharing for the people to come by public transport. they can take a bicycle or a sco

. >> with the chairman of the society of amsterdam, they are also supporting this approach. they realize if they just press on the car accessibility only, in the end there will be no excess ability at all. they support strongly that only the people who need to come by car, they should be able to come, and the rest should make other choices. >> i think we are more or less at the stage where we are facing the same discussion. our experience is that a platform of business is much more open to try to find solutions which are not car- related, except for here and there. also, for the population, it is hard. they have in mind, if you are better off to have a car, and have the car in front of your door. it is still a long way to go for us. the mobility plans that local authorities are now obliged to develop, and the hearings that are organized because of that, are almost always concerning parking places. we have now a program where we are having one less car parking space. in the streets, you see, there is one car less because now bicycles can ride their bikes, but the comments are

>> two weeks ago, a new york, it was 400 years ago that new amsterdam was found at -- was founded. they convinced the general director of the new york port authority to put into action a bike accessibility plan, a bike plan for the more than 200,000 employees of the new york port authority. so they convinced these men that it would be a benefit to invest in bike accessibility. the thing is, i don't know, maybe you could put out an opportunity to meet them. we are mainly preaching for people who like our message, but i hardly meet people -- the opposition. i don't know, maybe there are some people who are against too much like accessibility in the room here, but up until now, we have not met them. >> back in my town, i meet them very often. one of the most, one of the best arguments concerns air quality and the problem of noise. also, the numbers of young families not wanting to have their kids growing up in town and moving out. they're really looking at what arguments can you put forward to say we cannot continue the way that things are going. >> think in copenhagen, the status of

so the bike is the grease in the amsterdam economy. you have to build less highways, you have to build less parking garage. you put the bike -- use very little space. where you have to build parking garage, they're very expensive. there are recent surveys that companies pay up to 30,000 euros, that's $50,000 per year per person to have them traffic by car to work, where as a bike costs only 250 euros so there are large benefits at

. >> you think that this force emanating from europe particularly amsterdam seems to have codified it more than anyone else is irresistible. i think it's a condition of modern life and in that sense is streak liamly powerful force. there are and there can be counte counterveiling issues in the society. i think it's complex. how are you impressed by this point of viview, steven? >> well, i think you have to take religion seriously in the united states and i think that's the huge difference in united states and the netherlands. you've got the one most religious and secular countries in europe in the e netherlands. if you look at some basic and rntion kes do you believe the bible is the word of god or do you believe in heaven or do you believe in hell, do you believe in miracles? i think that matters when it comes to all these issues. >> the expansion of secular rights not only in the netherlands else why in europe that you speak of, and you see that expansion t ting place in the united states. again going back to this core issue, what's cash dash is there any additional evidence of that

, and he and i got on a plane-- and i had never been on a plane-- and went to amsterdam, and the record execs took us out and bought us drugs, and it was like-- it was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. i was thrilled that i was in the record business, and i was, you know, important, getting flown around, and i think that's when i was the most successful, 'cause that was an amazing transformation, just being able to travel and be part of a culture and actually be part of it growing within an industry. in some ways, your breakthrough came when you began to work with your brother and a friend, and run dmc came about. run dmc was-- i mean, run was waiting for an opportunity forever, and he and his buddy d.m.c. made these songs, and they were so honest. rap was going on a little bit of a tangent. there was some success in the rock clubs. that's where the only crossover existed. no mainstream. and so they were starting to assimilate to the rock stars, or they wanted to get out of the ghetto so bad that they were willing to trade some of their souls, you know, and their attitude

i mean, like amsterdam is plat as a pancake we would say. brussels does have some, well, ups and downs. an important issue politically is that we have -- we are, in fact, giving big gross national product to the country, 20%, although we're only 10% of the population, but yet most workforce is coming from abroad, from flounders, from outs. so they are coming in at 9:00 in the morning and the workers are again leaving to the north or the south of the country in the evening and we have ourselves a population with also considerable amount of people who live in poverty. there is about 20% of unemployment. we do have for 20 years now our own regional parliament and government and i'm very proud of that because i really think that we have been able as politicians to put brussels solution on the brussels scale thanks to that legislative power we have. you see we have been quite ambitious. we voted already in 1997 a resolution in the parliament saying 10% of all mechanical transport should all be by bike. we also held a summit on road safety and, th

society, and--which i found refreshing, because here, here's a country where-- for instance, in amsterdam, you walk around the red light district, which is all tourists mostly, you know--i mean, there's men there looking for women, but it's also 50% to 60% tourists as well. and you look in the porn stores, in the windows, you see the hardest stuff you could imagine in the windows. i'm talking about bestiality, everything. and i mean, you don't have to go inside to see the hardest stuff they have. and obviously, they feel comfortable their children are not turning into killers and rapists and perverts, you know. so i--i find that very refreshing, that a society like that can exist, that is not afraid of sexuality. and so, you know, when i-- when i worked there, i was there five months at the request of the groninger museum, which was doing a huge retrospective of my work. and the museum actually sponsored the sex pictures. they--they gave me a large amount of money to do the work. in return, i gave them some prints for their collection. but it was very refreshing to be able to deal with pe

shares are currently down to the tune of more than 12% in amsterdam. andrew. >> beer used to be considered recession-proof, didn't it? that's the end of the trading day, just about done here in asia. as you can see, quite markedly different story here in asia than there is in europe at the moment. a lot of that has got to do with the fact that the enthusiasm for u.s. federal reserve chief ben bernanke riding to the rescue of the u.s. economy with perhaps a qe-3 as it's being called, more moves to push money into the u.s. financial system. there seems to be less certain it's going to happen now. we've seen a bit of a selloff. put this numbers against one of the biggest rallies we've seen in months, yesterday, for the asian markets, profit taking going on there as well. nikkei down 1%, hang seng down by 2%, shanghai and australia had a downgrade of sovereign debt for japan by moody's. they're worried about the weak economic outlook and japan's ability to pay down its massive debt. also had some big profit numbers out. none bigger than bhp billiton, the w
