now you can add to that the state-of-the-art da vinci robot. >> you're going to change the liviinines of many, many people. i'm proud to be part of this. very proud. ? with roboticing surgery,ing recovery is remarkable. you can get in and out of the hospital in less than a day. the institute will include treatment of prostate, gien clojic and other typing. it will treat prostate cancer as well as other difficult surgeries in a safer,ing more effective manner with minimal blood loss. >> less trauma. the less trauma facilitating an amazing recovery. >> a huge snep thtep in this co. >> reporter: regulationinging -- >> you thought our doctors were just pretty? they're really smart, and they really care. that is fantastic that you are bringing that technology. dr. siegel, great explanation of tourism for medical purposes. this is a huge game changer down there, isn't it? >> they found that 40% of all medical tourism are people looking for expert technology that they can't get other places. so we expect people from all over the caribbean, south america, canada and the united states to come

so the idea that art and science -- around the same rough period that we had people like da vinci aroundshe -- daand even vinci writes about scientific conventions. we should not be separating this as much as we tend to. we tend to go to art school or science: not both. that is the closest to a surprise for me. the other surprise is that tim pulled it off. he was doing something impossible. he was trying to do something that had not been done for 350 years and he did it. as you know from having seen the movie halfway through, he realized that his invention does not do the whole job. it has to -- he has to reinvent it halfway through. just being around someone with that much passion for life, it is exhilarating. tavis: i want to hear this from you. from seeing your work over the years. for you, what is the power, what is the authority in the silent part of your performance? the silence is what? >> and missy. silence is intimacy. when you have words between yourself and another person, that person does not have to look at you and absorb every little detail of what is going on with you. whe

much as in painting, had been inspired by an artist who was an old man when raphael died-- leonardo da vincithough he was equally mythologized, leonardo's long career was very different from raphael's starry successes. leonardo's story is a catalogue of unprecedented achievement and yet also of incomplete and abandoned projects, no better symbolized than by the sorry state of his mural in milan depicting the last supper of christ. the art historian kathleen weil-garris brandt sees leonardo's frustrated ambition as part of a larger story. most of us have some sort of mental image of leonardo's last supper, and yet, as is true with some other famous artistic projects of the renaissance, as we approach more closely, we discover that the actual work survives only in part. it's often difficult to reconstruct the artist's intention, to know what the work was to look like, to grasp the setting for which it was created. what remains to us of leonardo's masterpiece is slowly being revealed to us by the painstaking work of conservators here. and yet the painting has suffered so much damage over the ce

. >> they've also banned the passion of christ and the da vinci code for similar reasons. more muslim intolerance, right, bob? >> when does it end? these are secular states which means you ought to be able to put something on in the movie theater that isn't sharia law. it was handed down in a bad book, but leaving that aside, i got my fatwa yet? fatwa this? >> very good. greg, i'm trying to figure out what is not an affront to islam. they should put out a book of everything that offends them. i think they already have one. called the insiencyclopedia britannica. religion shouldn't have such low self-esteem. you should be confident that your faith can welcome skepticism or other faiths. it seems kind of insecure. >> that was mine point. they don't trust their people. >> i was looking at their notes and i stole them. >> you did say it better than i did. >> you agree? >> yes. >> how about you? >> i agree with greg. a smiley face is an affront to islam. a painting of bob beckel is an affront to islam. i think we should start selling fatwa this t-shirts. >> absolutely. >> islam

they really do get a little broad scope, they go see leonardo da vinci and george washington.nice family story because families can look like anything. my dog can adopt a boy. >> i love the theme of adoption between the two of them, that a dog can adopt a little boy, but a little boy can adopt a dog. it was just a really sweet movie -- >> anything goes today. >> the last one is called "the birder's guide to everything". >> a little more mature. >> for tweens, i guess. >> tell me about that. >> the coming of age story available on demand today. it is kind of wants to be "stand by me," a teen grieving the loss of his mother, who takes his friends on a journey to find a rare bird. and so it is really about dealing with emotions. a lot of cursing in it, though. >> there is? >> there is a character who is, like, 16, and has raging hormones. for me, that character made it -- i didn't -- >> it didn't bother me. i thought was a tender coming of age story and hit on the loss and this child's father is remarrying and the emotions that go through that, are they addressing them. >> a very

the history of sky diving dates back to 1485 when leonardo da vinci sketched the first blueprints forachute. these days, hundreds of thousands of people jump from high places and planes every year, deploying parachutes to bring them safely back to earth. according to the united states parachute association, the likelihood of a fatal crash is roughly 1 in 140,000. and the sky diver you're about to see escapes that fate by the skin of his teeth. an experienced sky diver is sailing down to earth at 45 miles per hour. like he's done more than 300 times before. but this time, something goes horribly wrong. >> are you okay? >> i've been in other situations where i've got out of them. but this one here was just that the winds just happened to catch me at the wrong time, and i had to make some really fast decisions. and obviously it didn't pan out the way i wanted it to. i was hoping to miss it, but i didn't miss the trailer. >> april 30, 2011. high above colorado's fremont county airport sky diving instructor tommy ferguson is preparing for his third and final jump of the day. >> i had alrea

my three books, the first book a road, "rescuing da vinci," which is a photographic doing, lists themes of all these people but it's not really a narrative story, and the two books that followed, "the monuments men" in trento, tell the story of the origination of the id and in the case of "saving italy" discussing a lot of historical background of aggression of art and preservation office going back to germany in world war i. up into the end of the war in 1945. the answer is not yet. but i'm not unaware of it and it's on my list of things to do. >> i would say that my colleague, sylvia, can you raise your hand? will have a blog either tomorrow or friday on giuliana bombard, a monuments woman. i'm looking for to reading that. >> fourteen monuments women, and we found one of them in 2009. my labor day was spent at the hospital in boston in giving a lady that we found who was remarkable woman, bronze star recipient, and just a tremendous, tremendous woman to we at great expense with her. hers is a star that you all will have a chance to know about in the time ahead. >> a member of the a

leonardo da vinci airport in rome where he should be landing momentarily.ember correspondent ben wedeman who's in our rome bureau which looks the vatican. as we watch and wait for air force one, how excited is rome's welcoming there? >> reporter: the flight about 15 minutes late, brooke so, we haven't seen it touch down yes, but rome is bracing for the visit of president obama. we are expecting some massive traffic jams tomorrow. in fact, some italian newspapers warning people about chaos. he's in one part of town, and to get there he needs to drive really thu one of the most busy parts of rome to get to the vatican. and after the vatican where he will meet with pope francis in the morning he will be having a working lunch with george napolitano, the italian president. then he meets with the italian prime minister, then in the afternoon he goes to the coliseum. so it's going to be somewhat difficult for the residents of rome as the presidential motorcade makes it around the capital. so we shall see. >> so you have the traffic chaos to deal with, and then yo
