'Larium made me angry and irrational'

Members of Parliament are due to begin hearing evidence about the safety of a drug, Lariam, which is widely prescribed to servicemen and women to protect them from malaria.
The House of Commons Defence Committe is looking at it after hundreds of ex-service personnel and travellers complained the drug caused mental health problems. Reporter Dan Johnson hears from people who say they suffer "dreadful" side effects including rage, insomnia and nightmares.
