four main routes went through france to spain.hey joined at puente-la-reina in spain, where a single road passed through burgos and leon and culminated at santiago de compostela. in the center of france, the major starting point was the church of mary magdalene at vezelay. this great romanesque abbey church at vezelay in the heart of burgundy is built far too large for the needs of its local population. paul crossley is a distinguished architectural historian whose special interest is romanesque and gothic architecture. it served primarily two functions. it housed a large and prosperous community of benedictine monks, and secondly and most importantly, it was one of the foremost places of pilgrimage in france, for here was contained the relics of saint mary magdalene. thousands of pilgrims came through the western portals of this church, and they found themselves in a sacred way... a long avenue of arches and aisles which led them to the distant and luminous choir where the body of saint mary magdalene was contained. to the dout m

austria maybe but not very sure france. but i am i my feeling is that if the peripheral countries abandon the euro i don't think the although four or five or six countries will feel very happy remaining alone where you've written about things exit from the area think do you think that is a realistic option is a political problems the that and it's also is. a credit debt problem you see. spain has as we said before about. nine nine hundred billion in foreign debt about half of that is held by germany and france maybe banks and funds and investors so you could see france and germany they don't want spain to default because of course leaving the euro is seen only most of defaulting i mean because if you leave the euro the fording that. you have to you can repeat so if spain leave the euro spain has to default and that we hurt german and french banks and they don't want that so the the situation is very easy to understand it's like if i am a bank or you or me money you cannot pay well i want you to do whatever you you can to pa

who had to leave their country and fled to france. that a sleepy town on the banks, one side stands out like a sore thumb. this camp, which has housed vietnamese people for more than half a century. patrick fernand grew up here. each year, he helps prepare the new year celebrations in the pagoda. >> this is for our ancestors who come back to earth on new year's day. in the old days, the pagoda was always full. at the end of the ceremonies, our mothers would prepare something to eat here. >> most of the camp's inhabitants are elderly. this woman arrived here more than 50 years ago herusband fought for france in the first indochina war in the early 1950's when the french tried to drive the communists out of vietnam. because her husband had sided with the french, she and her five children had to flee. here, she had six more children. >> all 11 of them slept in this room. we have five beds, four this way and one that way. >> her daughter says they slept two othree to a bed, boys here, girls here. she never complained. she bore her hard li

she said, ten francs if you want this. i had franc notes, the government made our money over there, american money. war time money. so i gave her the -- gave her ten francs. i came back. he said, did you pay her for that? i said, yeah. i said, ten franc notes. okay, stay here. i stayed there, sat there and he went over there and he said, i'd like to have the crawlers and a cup of coffee. two plond sisters from el paso, texas, they were in this truck. and she said, general, you don't have to pay for yours. he said why? my boys pay for it? she said, yeah. ten francs, two doughnuts, a crawler and a cup of coffee. he hesitated. where do you keep this money. he said, in the back of the orange crate. you remember orange crate, they had the departments. she had all this paper money. it was in this compartment, you know? he said -- she opened the back door. pulled out the box. all of this money was in this box, you know? he carried it. he had a cigarette lighter, a tiny one. and he picked up one of the notes and lit it. and he thr

would be in the soudan tier southern economies in europe or even in some of the northern economies france and and also germany is actually experiencing some decline in trends ok people what do you think about that i mean i mean we see a sturdy. with a vengeance in europe and we can go to southern europe all the way up to germany the french are be experiencing it as well how can what is this the right formula and dimitri says it's not the right for me and to bring us back to prosperity because a lot more and more people are just being a misery. yeah well i think look the bottom line is it's really interesting people won't agree to us territory or comply with us if things are getting better you kind of need to be in bad times to get people to understand how serious a debt problem is and that it needs to be addressed i mean nobody was interested in addressing the debt problem during the boom it's only during the bust the people start to understand why but it is true that i stared he doesn't alone create price prosperity what does create prosperity are small entrepreneurs and this is really i

france bids adieu to mademoiselle. the term mademoiselle is no longer an official term for french women and is being removed from all official documents. the change comes after lobbying by women's groups who called the term sexist. mademoiselle is used for unmarried women and it implies youthful immaturity. the women's groups objected to the term mademoiselle because the title requires women to divulge their private lives. now, official documents will only provide options for madame or monsieur, neither reveals marital status. >> so genevieve wood, is it sexist to have or distinguish between married and nonmarried? >> i think people ought to be able to allow to choose to describe themselves how they like to be described. >> in country you have a lot of options. mis, mrs., misses. this is unbelievably a silly debate they are having to a certain extent but they are french. let them have it. >> in this country, at least a generation ago, remember there was a mag named mrs.? they found the only people using ms. was single

so i gave her the -- gave her ten francs. he said, did you pay her for that? yeah, ten franc notes. stay here. i stayed there, sat there and he went over there and he said, i'd like to have the crawler and a cup of coffee. the two sisters from el paso, texas, they were in this truck. and she said, general, you don't have to pay for yours. he said why? my boys pay for it? yeah. ten francs, two doughnuts, a crawler and a cup of coffee. so why don't you keep this money? he said, in the back of the orange crate. you remember orange crate, they had the departments. she had all this paper money. opened the back door, pulled out the box. all this money was this this box, you know? he carried it. he had a cigarette lighter, a tiny one. and he picked up one of the notes and lit it. and he threw it down with all the money. he burned it all up and so burned it. he came to the jeep. and he dug a hole, he buried all of the ashes. we stayed there -- until all of the ashes burned. when you go back and you tell your commander that you ran into george s. patton and that was taken care of. i didn't k

okay how does frances scott key get involved?nteresting, not only do we see a picture of his mother-in-law, he was born in 1779 which seems to be a year of publication. in england. it says poems of the late frances scott key. he certainly was a poet, he was gentleman poet. if you go through this biography written just after his death, you'll read lots of poems about friends and family, domestic poet poetry, but something got him going in 1805. in 1805 he went to a dinner. the tripolitan wars. a big dinner was being thrown for sfooechb-either someone asked frances scott key or he came up with the idea that everyone's singing, adams and liberty. i'll write one for deindicator, and that's what he did. i draw your attention to the third verse. ♪ and pale beams the crescent it's splendor obscured by the star spangled flag of our nation ♪ ♪ 1805, nine years before ft. mchenry. ♪ the ter binned heads bowed to its terrible glare and now mixed with the olive the laurel shall wave and form a bright wreath for the prows of the brave ♪ >> so

if you go to france i think that france's team always takes italy lightly but maybe with less focus as opposed to when they play against other teams but this is something normal it can happen to anybody even for me i'm a bit less focused when i play with my club sometimes it can happen but anyway it isn't our problem but i don't think that france's team will see this game as a way to make up for their defeat last year. while wales take on an island in dublin on sunday four months after knocking them out of the world cup but wales captain sam warburton says that won't be a factor once the match is on the way. i really think about what the code final. and place what for many you know we all scientists alike button twice last year the need to regions or if you talk in their minds. and months that sort of plays know what it's going to be like videos and day they might use is moving to the room. where the cats are masters has been reduced to fifty four holes off to strong winds let's i mean three hours of play on friday organizers hope to complete round two by the end of saturday and stage

germany take on france before a home crowd. the last chance for players to shine before germany coach names his squad. >> he only had one chance to practice with his team ahead of the game against france. but he does not have to motivate them. they all know what is at stake. a chance to play the european championship this summer. >> everyone has to try to play his best. it will not be a typical friendly match. each player will be fighting for his spot. >> one player can be certain that his spots -- she has returned to the stadium for the first time in two years since leaving the city for madrid. >> our goal has to do to look at ourselves, sees the the vigil, and then we can win against any team. >> it will not be easy. after the disastrous 2010 world cup performance in september, france is a good strong team. and the new coach has gone undefeated for 16 games. the team has star players. the goalkeeper is the new captain. some critics say he is too inexperienced to lead the team at the european championships. >> we are a young t

the powers that be it's created the euro zone was germany germany and france in the names of francois mitterrand and also john chancellor kohl knew the project was incomplete and they expected that those who would follow them will complete the project but what do instead is the development of tremendous imbalances between the into the eurozone countries it is not possible to expect the german who will always have a surplus unless of the counter is such as greece and portugal have deficits ok and therefore this is how we created the let me growth padron let me jump. in here i mean people i mean we just heard that other countries would follow the it would follow the political union thing but people didn't vote for that i find that inherently undemocratic and that giving people a choice ok i mean what happens on the net when the next guy really comes in in greece are they going to vote against the the this austerity package they are bred of course they are and not only in greece we already hear echoes of this in france this is where francois hollande the leading member of the opposition

if they are go ahead of course they are and not only in greece we already hear echoes of this and france this is where francois hollande the leading member of the opposition who looks likely to win the next presidential race and france is already saying why do we have to have this us there any and i think this is the key and you can see the leaders signing up for it because the exchange is clear in germany you give me the cash to survive given my debt probably and i'll give you my sovereignty but will the public actually comply will they agree to accept the pain of the suster and will they agree to submit the most important sovereign aspect which is your first school your budget to technocrats in brussels that are not answerable to your population through a ballot box so i think that although there are many europeans who would like to see a united states of europe there are many who would not and this question is what did we all signed up for the issue today is that the debt burden is so severe that people. will sell their sovereignty for cash right now but will they actually deliver wha

france's mistral profiled earlier in this show is a case in point.now participating in the massive bold alligator amphibious exercise off the east coast, the ship combines the best elements of construction in automation, packing capabilities into a affordable package. mistral can carry up to 650 troops, up to 90 vehicles and up to 35 helicopters. better, still, mistral needs a crew of just 170 and costs about $600 million. it's hard to compare it to any u.s. vessel. mistral carries about the same number of troops an an lpd amphibious class ship 1/3 of the cost but with a flight that's comparable to a wasp ship. every vessel is the result of tradeoffs. time will tell whether france made the right choices in opting a ship so different from traditional designs. what is clear is that mistral has spent the vast majority of the past four years at sea performing real-world missions, most recently off of libya, more efficiency and at less cost than older war ship designs. overall, it's an attractive package. while she's here, u.s. officials should check her
