YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A demand for the return of "unlawfully removed cultural objects" has been included in the EU's negotiating mandate for trade talks with the UK - prompting claims Britain will be held to ransom over the Elgin Marbles.

The British Museum has long refused to return the 2,500-year-old artefacts to Greece, which the country says were stolen by Lord Elgin in the early 19th century when it was under Ottoman Turkish rule.
