European leaders met Thursday in Budapest, Hungary, for a summit of the European Political Community. Host Carol Hills covers some of the discussion, including US President-elect Donald Trump's likely impact on support for Ukraine and NATO, agreement by leaders that Europe must do more for its own defense, and friction between EPC members. Also, Germany is holding events to mark the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, an event that heralded the end of the Cold War and led to the unification of Europe. Nothing manifested the division of Germany - and the European continent - as powerfully as the 13-foot concrete barrier. Reporter Alexa Dvorson witnessed the wall crumble as it was blasted open, and looks back on the event with people whose lives were shaped by it on both sides and those confronted with its aftermath today.
