On this week’s news episode we start with two stories about slavery. The first comes from the discovery of a 2000 year old child’s show found in an Austrian mine. The second is from Ghana and the discovery of Britain’s first slave fort in Africa. Finally, we learn about conclusive evidence of Vikings arriving in the Americas well before Columbus.
