Will a new NHS facility which allows people to take heroin and other drugs under medical supervision be harmful or helpful?

We ask the BBC’s Chris Clements, who’s making a documentary about why Scotland has the worst drug death rate in Europe. And we hear from Barry, who started taking heroin when he was 14.

And Martin and Natalie discuss Alex Salmond’s widow urging the former First Minister’s critics to let him 'rest in peace'.
