The United Nations world heritage body, UNESCO, wants Greece to stop installing concrete paths around the iconic Parthenon atop the Acropolis in Athens.

Special correspondent Malcolm Brabant reports from Athens about how the debate is playing out. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
