Today's video story: Nick Clegg says the "war on drugs is not working", but Peter Hitchens says "there has been no war". The columnist said cannabis has been "effectively a decriminalised drug in the country for many years", and the number of prosecutions has been “dropping like a stone”. But the former deputy prime minister said: “Drugs are bad for you, they cause harm. I am a dad, I don't want my kids hooked on drugs", but he told Mr Hitchens that he could not "just wish it away and somehow think you can prohibit drugs out of existence".

Labour MP John Mann has verbally attacked Ken Livingstone as tensions rise over anti-Semitic claims. The former mayor was heading for the BBC Westminster studio when he was confronted by his critic. Mr Livingstone, who faces calls for his own resignation for defending Nah Shah, said: "He went completely over the top." And he told Daily Politics presenter Andrew Neil that previously Mr Mann was "screaming I was a bigot down the phone".
