Soil where Gandhi died being auctioned

Items that belonged to Mahatma Gandhi will be auctioned in Shropshire, including grass and soil from the spot where he was assassinated in 1948.

Other lots contain a pair of glasses he bought in Gloucester and letters outlining his philosophy on life.

Richard Westwood-Brookes, an auctioneer from Mullocks Auctioneers, explains to the BBC's Claire Marshall how important the items are.
