Lisa Hagen talks to Lynn about the landmark decision which has found the giant drug company Johnson & Johnson liable for its part in fuelling an opioid epidemic in the US state of Oklahoma.

The case was brought by Oklahoma's Attorney General, who alleged the company fuelled the epidemic by flooding the market with painkillers and should help pay for treatment and prevention programmes.
