Correspondent Lesley Stahl travels to the remote, Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan, a tiny country that has fiercely protected its unique culture, declaring that within its borders, Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross National Product. But today, the country is facing a crisis — 9% of its population has left Bhutan for higher-paying jobs abroad, so the government has launched a high-stakes plan to help the economy and lure young Bhutanese back by developing an entirely new city from scratch — what the King is calling a "mindfulness" city. This is a double-length segment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Secret Service Agent #9 | 60 Minutes: A Second Look
Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace once said that, in all his years as a journalist, very few interviews stayed with him like his time with Clint Hill, a former U.S. Secret Service agent on duty the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. During that interview, Hill stunned Wallace -- and the nation -- by admitting he felt responsible for the president's death. Hill would later say it was the first time he had ever spoken publicly about that day, and that his emotional reaction surprised even him. Now at 92 years old, Hill tells 60 Minutes: A Second Look why he spoke so candidly for an audience of millions, and how that interview with Mike Wallace may have changed the course of his life.Listen to new episodes of "60 Minutes: A Second Look" every Tuesday, wherever you get your podcasts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Days before America elects its 60th president of the United States, all eyes are on Georgia after it was a center of the scheme to overthrow the 2020 election.

To better understand the profound impact of the fast changing and complex legal landscape, correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi visited Texas, the first state to change its abortion laws.

The firm now has a market cap of roughly half a trillion dollars, which is larger than the entire country’s GDP.
