This week: heroin treatment, President Trump, Russia sports ban, age of criminal responsibility, Christmas cards barred, Miss World row, space junk and gold nuggets.

The People's News takes a look at Glasgow’s revolutionary approach to treating drug addiction – will supplying medical-grade heroin help tackle Scotland’s drug problem? We discuss news from over the pond as the House moves to impeach President Trump, and we consider if the ban on Russia competing in the Olympics and World Cup goes far enough.

There’s heated discussion over the news Scotland has raised the age of criminal responsibility to 12 – how old is old enough to know right from wrong? A school has put Christmas cards off limits due to their environmental impact. Should our celebrations be greener? And a beauty queen takes on Miss World after being disqualified for being a mother.

The extraterrestrial environment is in the headlines with the reveal of all the man-made junk we’ve left up there – but the European Space Agency has a plan to clean it up... at a cost of €120m for one piece of junk! Lastly, a giant gold nugget is found in a Scottish river – should we all rush out and get panning?
