Around 40 people died in a fire that ripped through a bar in the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana in the early hours of New Year's day. The fire broke out at a bar called Le Constellation. Growing unrest in Iran is reported to have claimed more lives on a fifth day of protests over the soaring cost of living. A series of new research results indicates that psychedelic drugs could be hugely beneficial in treating a range of mental disorders. These include depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, PTSD, trauma as well as alcohol and gambling addiction. Presenters: James Copnall and Anne Soy.
