The UK is sending back Ghana's 'crown jewels'.
The long-term loan deal will see the artefacts returned 150 years after they were looted from the court of the Ashanti Empire.
UK Correspondent, Vincent McAviney, told Roman Travers that it consists of 32 pieces from the British and Victoria & Albert Museums.
He says Ghana's chief negotiator is hopeful for a 'new sense of cultural co-operation' after generations of anger.
