Patients on Britain's psychiatric wards are easy targets for drug dealing, with tragic results. Drug abuse by the mentally ill - so-called "double trouble" - can aggravate symptoms and cause severe psychosis, leading to assaults and even some deaths. Margaret Lee, whose son Paul died within hours of admission to a hospital's psychiatric ward, blames the hospital for not watching him closely enough, even though the 1992 inquest into Paul's death cleared the hospital of blame. Managers point out that they are not running prisons; restricting patients' access to illegal drugs may conflict with respecting patients' rights.
Fiona Bruce investigates how these drugs can get onto the wards, and what measures can be taken to stop them.

This Late Show special looks at the art treasures, including Impressionist paintings, that were taken from
Germany by Stalin's "Trophy Brigades" at the end of the Second World War. Some were returned by Khrushchev in 1955 but the rest remained hidden in Soviet monasteries, depositories and museum cellars. Atreaty signed in 1991 by Mikhail Gorbachev agreed that the hoard would be returned, but despite endorsement by Boris Yeltsin attempts are now being made to legalise Russian ownership of these treasures. Tonight's programme discusses changing attitudes in Russia, and includes contributions from the directors of the Hermitage and Pushkin Museums in Russia and the Dresden Art Museum in Germany;
Russia's Deputy Minister of Culture; journalists and lawyers who have studied the case; and Sebastian von
Johnson, heirto some of the paintings in the collection.
