this is one of the typical, in old belgium towns you would find it now, it's the flow of cycling. it's what you do if you have a one-way road and you make it accessible for cyclists. we knew at the federal level, at belgium level that this regulation was coming up and in parallel in the brussels parliament, we voted a law if you will implement this new belgium law of accepting cycling on those one-way streets, if you do that within two years' time, we will finance half of the cost to do so. and that was a regional law who was, in fact, encouraging putting the federal law into practice and that's how come that you will see in almost every one way street like you see there on the left that cyclists are admitted. on the right hand, you have example of lines and i have seen that already here as well. as a cyclist, i like the advanced stoplights and i make much use of it. i was already one of those cyclists who was contraflow cycling. it's a good thing and i can tell my kids that it's allowed to contraflow cycle. a policy of permits is another instrument we have just to, well, to mainl

time ever outside belgium, the beer they brew at the abbey. in our cover story, demand has answered their prayers, and those of beer lovers around the world. the devout showed up until they ran out - fans of a belgian beer highly-rated by connoissuers but hard to get beyond the cloistered confines of st. sixtus abbey. "i don't think they sell it outside belgium at all." "my fiance is a huge beer- lover." the monks who brew westvleteren 12 make just enough to sustain the abbey. it's tightly controlled - sold one day a month, in limited amounts, two hours from brussels at the end of a long road in flemish pig country. "what they do is sell any remaining to the outside world, to the secular world, to help fund whatever they need at the abbey." the abbey is in need of roof repairs and other renovations. "it's a great cause. everybody needs a roof over their head." so the monks chose to quench the thirst of the faithful by selling their trappist ale at $84.99 a six pack. "oh, hey, i hope they get a really nice roof... maybe even a bigger place." "i

oh i don't have any belgium jokes i just have a message go my go. i'm sorry comedian dan wilbur thank you so much for joining us. meanwhile the u.s. jobs report came out today with higher than expected gains in the private sector here's what we found out two hundred thirty six thousand jobs were added in february bringing the unemployment down to seven point seven percent that's the lowest number since december of two thousand and eight so there is some positive news in terms of economic growth but we want to concentrate on those people who are still looking for work of the people who are employed most have been unemployed for twenty seven weeks or longer and here's a possible indicator as to why more and more employers are running credit checks on potential employees that they are planning on hiring in many cases the fact that a person is in debt is actually preventing them from getting a job in order to pay off that debt sounds like a catch twenty two writes well i was joined earlier by a job seeker daniel berman and despite the fact that he has t

that was especially true when we visited prisons in belgium.ngs, we learned that when an inmate escapes from a belgian prison, authorities will try to catch him, but not charge him with an additional crime. >> the law that says the effect of escaping is not a crime. but they can do another crime. for example, if they escape with their prison clothes, keeping the prison clothes is a crime. unless they send the clothes back. and in the past we have someone who escaped, jumping out of the window. after two, three days, we get the clothes back washed and cleaned. so he didn't make any crime. >> and even though belgium has one of the world's lowest crime rates, we met our share of murderers there as well. but shawn schaeffer's interview was one of the more unusual ones we conducted. we met him in the segregation unit of prison haselt, a maximum security facility. >> on 30 december, i killed my wife. >> okay. why and how? >> i killed her with a big knife. >> why? >> because i had no gun with me. >> okay. but why did you kill her? >> oh, why? i was ve

so obviously here's the here's a little pissed off at belgium but i think it was all in light spirit of course but one thing i do want to bring up on a saucy is during president obama's state of the union address you know he talked about bringing jobs back home and taxing the jobs that don't want to come back home do you think that we should be trying to encourage these all american brands to in fact be all american absolutely megan i mean it's you know we are having fun with the story certainly but it does have a much more serious underlying issue that simply there are no manufacturing jobs in the united states and that is certainly something that needs to be addressed and hopefully will be addressed because of the very high unemployment because of the cost of labor being so much cheaper abroad so many people are left without jobs and that's certainly something that that is really the bigger problem behind this issue of all of these iconic products no longer being made here are to a correspondent on a stasia chair going to thank you for your investigative report. well u.s. jobs repo
