US Civil War-era time capsule opened in Virginia

Aconservation team in the US state of Virginia has opened a box containing Confederate war memorabilia believed to be more than 130 years old.

It contained newspapers, books and ammunition dated to the US Civil War.

Workers discovered the container in the state capital of Richmond while finishing the removal of a statue of the Confederate general Robert E Lee.

The memorial was removed after protests against it following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis last year.
