After long journey to Germany, a new challenge for refugees

Clip: 9/19/2015 | 4m 11s

NewsHour's Saskia DeMelker reports on on Syrian family now settling in Germany.

The United Nations this weekend said 80 percent of the migrants coming to Europe are from war-torn Syria, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan. Recent refugees arriving in new countries face a challenge that will take much longer than the journey from their home countries: applying for asylum and integrating into a new home. NewsHour's Saskia de Melker reports on one Syrian family.
