The U.N. Security Council unanimously extended the sole humanitarian crossing into Syria -- one day before it was set to close -- after a deal between the U.S. and Russia. The White House said Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin discussed it on a phone call. But some humanitarian groups say the deal doesn't go far enough for the millions of Syrians in desperate need. Nick Schifrin reports.
