here is a picture taken in the south of netherlands. here, the layout is so much that you are really regarded as cyclists that they have made space for you. the cars know that cyclists have priority. this is a common roundabout situation in the netherlands, also in the village where i live. so this shows that you go for the cyclists. go for cyclists and realize when someone is saying we were cramped in space like in san francisco, we say, well, you have never been to any dutch town because your roads are so wide. and then they think, yeah, but all these lanes are needed for car traffic. i'll tell you, if you use this i'll tell you, if you use this traffic model, you should

here is a picture taken in the south of netherlands. here, the layout is so much that you are really regarded as cyclists that they have made space for you. the cars know that cyclists have priority. this is a common roundabout situation in the netherlands, also in the village where i live. so this shows that you go for the cyclists. go for cyclists and realize when someone is saying we were cramped in space like in san francisco, we say, well, you have never been to any dutch town because your roads are so wide. and then they think, yeah, but all these lanes are needed for car traffic. i'll tell you, if you use this traffic model, you should realize that the capacity of your system is not determined by the amount of lanes and the stretches of roads but by the capacity of intersections and you realize that the capacity of these intersections are a lot lower than any capacity of lanes that are on the stretches of roads. so it's only a parking place for cars on to the next traffic light or intersection. so it's only convincing the people

in the netherlands, people who come to work by bike are more regarded them by car. the people who use the car have to find excuses why they still use the car. they just come and say, i just want to go by car. and the fact is, more and more people -- for instance, in amsterdam, by having this past and so on, 9000 people per day choose not to have their car because there was no more accessibility by car but choose the alternatives. 15% of them stay with the alternatives. they had a car. when they experienced it, it was not so bad commuting by bike or public transport, then there were convinced also. -- then it they were convinced also. if you tell people who drive by cars, and i think american politicians are so afraid they might lose voters, but if you keep telling them the detriment of the effects of using their car every day -- what? but they will not mind losing voters. my friends and the businessmen and area, they don't mind. for the around children, -- for their own children, but is it faster, more convenient, and cheaper? those are the reasons why you will choo

beard, going to the netherlands. >> that's for you.you in amsterdam. >> everyone knows, that a king needs a beard to rule with bare cheeks, no that is >> filling up your gas tank, kind of mundane. i have two videos that are refueling in a very impressed way. we're out in the caribbean on a u.s. coast guard ship when a jayhawk helicopter needs to get some gas. instead of landing, turning the engines off and taking all that time, they do what's called a hot refuel. they drop the line down from the side of the helicopter. the guys down on deck tie the fuel line to the wench. they pull it back up to the helicopter and one of the crewman on board the jayhawk reaches out and starts fueling this helicopter in midair. >> you get a little too close, those blades cut right into the ship. this becomes a weird crash and shipwreck. >> go too far away while connected like that, the hose could burst and gas shoots everywhere. >> your mind goes to all the different horrible things that could go wrong but it doesn't and it works. >> the reason they do

in the netherlands, cycling is inherently more safe than in the u.s.a. because all car drivers are also cyclists. 60% of the people in the netherlands cycle at least three times a week. 80% at least once a week. so all the car drivers are also cyclists and they know as they turn right that there is an 80% chance that they will cut off a cyclist if they don't look. so there is also safety by numbers. one last thing and that is about liability. when i hear about cycling in the u.s., people say, oh, but cycling is so dangerous. and then we say, no, cycling is not dangerous. cyclists hardly ever cause accidents. cars cause accidents. cars cause facilities and in the netherlands we have the philosophy that car drivers should realize that they're in a machine that can kill. and also from that on responsibility in taking liability. if a car drives over a child on a bike, no matter what happens, he is 100% liable for whatever happens. and even in the other cases, when a car goes in the collision with an adult on a bike, still there is at least 50% liability for

also, in the netherlands, we're not so good with racing cyclists.all the champions from last year are from italy, spain, or your country, never from the netherlands. but cycling is more than racing, it is a way of transport. especially for the first 7 kilometers, in combination with public transport. the last lines are important. for instance, in at the city of amsterdam, 85% of the trips are faster by bike then by car -- then by car. i do everything by bicycle. i am a slow cyclist, and i am still faster through the city. 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 program

to this is an afghani designer r that studied in the netherlands. he grew up in war torn afghanistan in a place with land mines. with his brother and friends they would make wind powered toys that would roll and end up in the mine fields. a few years later after his mother smuggled him out of afghanistan he landed in the netherlands and studied design. he designed this object which is wind powered meant to be rolled on to mine fields and make them explode. it's quite fantastic because it's about his own experience but a dramatic and serious object that is meant to be made -- in the end it will cost nothing. right now to take a mine off a mine field costs $10,000. >> stephen: this gets blown across, blows up and it must be awesome. >> it is awesome. >> stephen: what is this last one here, jim. that is just a table. >> that say table for school children in earthquake prone imrairs to so-when you ceiling falls upon you you don't get crushed. >> stephen: what makes it so great. >> it's designed from a student at a school in jerusalem. you see how it's m

we said decker who rammed philips in the netherlands.was paid given how much who run volvo in sweden people from siemens and the big german chemical companies the french spaniards then the british. small number of people who ran. the biggest companies in europe and were ready to talk about big policy issues with those people who were in charge of the european government. and then when they meet. a visionary president of the commission by the law all they find shuttle is thinking in entirely the same terms so why don't they get together and pool their ideas that's a breakthrough really. that's probably a good a good way to put me as a description not being isn't always. understood as a bit of a dirty word but it's just networking just contact between human beings. who make up the world is very small actually as a people we have to reach out actually at the end of the day it's becoming smaller and smaller if you know the right person actually you know it's going to be about a hundred person keep us and the rest. moving around in brussels t

>> for us in the netherlands, marriage is the only legal bond that commits third parties as well. i want to show everybody this is the person i want to share my life with. >> do you expect that some people, for religious reasons and other reasons, will always be implacably opposed to what you have done and been able to do? >> sometimes i find it difficult because i'm not different than anyone else. it is just a human right to choose to take care of someone you love and to take care of your family. >> that right to take care of them and to be a family is different from saying, "we can only do that or only feel able to commit that properly within, some might say, the confines of marriage. >> it is not that you only can do that. you can take care of one another outside of a marriage, but it just gives you a legal bond, and that is a commitment for life. it makes it possible for parents to adopt children. for us, that was very important because that gives her and the children legal rights to one another. >> because you were as it were the birth mother of your children. what challenges

in france, the netherlands, belgium, spain, sweden, and denmark, gay couples have the same adoption rights as heterosexual ones. >> earlier, we spoke with our correspondent and asked how significant the court ruling is for germany's same-sex couples. >> it is a small but important step in what they would say is the right direction, but i think it would say there is still a lot of work to be done on issues like same-sex marriage and adoption issues, as we've just seen. certainly, in germany, the greens were leading the way trying to get legislation through parliament on these issues, but it has been blocked by angela merkel's conservatives, by and large. a lot of people in conservative ranks want to defend what they view as a more traditional view of the family. these are divisive issues. there's a lot of passion around this. it is very emotional. the greens are saying they're going to make all these issues an element of their election manifesto, so that should be interesting. there is a lot of passion in germany. i have to say also that is not quite as much as it was recently in france whe
