Thousands of mostly Moroccan children unprotected in Ceuta

Just over a week since about 72,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, roughly 2,000 minors remain. Under European law, they cannot be deported unless family can be found to take them back. That can take months. In the meantime, the Spanish government is trying to protect the minors from common criminals and human traffickers. It's calling on the rest of Spain to take over stewardship of the children, but it's meeting a lot of resistance. The World's Gerry Hadden reports from Barcelona.
