Donal presents reports into the growing number of teenagers using cocaine and a Brit awaiting trial in a Greek prison for a crime he says he didn't commit.
The falling price of cocaine in Britain has opened a burgeoning new market among teenage users. We speak to some young teenagers who first tried the drug at the age of 15, who now regularly score on a weekly basis. We hear how dealers have specifically targeted young users with supermarket style deals - buy one, get one half price for example - and the lack of concern teenagers have towards the drug, which they regard as a relatively harmless 'party drug'.
We look into the case of 21 year old Brit, Andrew Symeou, who for the last eight months has been awaiting trial in a Greek prison for a crime he says he didn't commit. His family, with the support of Fair Trials International, say the case against Andrew is based on a flawed police investigation. They say it was built on mistaken identity, conflicting evidence and violent intimidation of witnesses.
