Clip: 9/15/2015 | 8m 12s

Europe was ‘ill-prepared’ for refugee deluge, says German ambassador to the U.S.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for an emergency summit to deal with the refugee crisis, a day after Europeans ministers failed to reach a deal on resettlement quotas. German Ambassador to the U.S. Peter Wittig joins Gwen Ifill to discuss how his country and the continent are grappling with the crisis.
