Mexico protests the auction of archaeological artifacts (S2E5)

Our feature story this week discusses the upcoming sale of artifacts with possible Mexican origins and how Mexico is trying to stop the auction from going ahead. We will also discuss transparent wood, new remote-medical services from Karachi in Pakistan and Dr. Okonjo-Iweala whose path to becoming the new head of the World Trade Organization is now essentially clear. 

One of our stories this week references homicide.  There will be a warning just before the story starts at the 5:38 mark. While we do not go into specific details, if you would like to skip it, skip to 8:33 or use the chapter markers in your podcast player.
