Drug deaths are at their highest-ever in England and Wales.

The latest figures from 2022 show over 3,000 people died - about the same number as people who die from stomach cancer - though a lot of these are preventable.

Sky's Marnie Gill goes inside a drug consumption room in Paris and meets those on the frontline here in the UK.
