Housing crisis fuels Madrid protest

What happened

Tens of thousands of people gathered in the Spanish capital on Saturday to call for greater protection for tenants. The protest was sparked by the eviction of an elderly woman who was forced out of her lifelong home after her rent nearly quadrupled. Her case has resonated with many Spaniards who say rising rents, partly driven by tourism, are making cities increasingly unaffordable. Morgan Ayre reports.
