headline from al jazeera dot com and what's trending as well no surprise to say the news of jamal khashoggi right at the top that we have extensive coverage on the web site to go to their full euro background information of a couple stories about pakistan today as well and the extremely dangerous michael set to hit florida on the throat of chunking a close eye on that one as they have all the harkins in this us season have a look for yourself that's what's trending this way than say at al-jazeera dot com . there is a world day for almost everything nowadays but world mental health like this feels particularly worthy of attention by the twenty thirty depression is expected to be the world's leading cause of ill health and according to the world health

organization one in four people will experience some form of mental ill health and yet the condition current receives less than one percent of global this is the final in our series of reports on world mental health and how. the countries of northern europe sweden norway denmark and finland regularly feature among the world's happiest and why do so many people report being unhappy. alone one in five young women point to rising stress levels affecting their mental health. i think that we have a lot of pressure being perfect. and achieving things and not listening and slowing down. it's expected that by twenty thirty depression will be the world's leading cause of ill health at the fountain house group of international clubhouses they're focusing on something conventional treatments sometimes overlook

the person behind the illness hospitals doctors medications all important but they don't have the resources or perhaps the goals to build relationships and once you get to know somebody you can see beyond a diagnosis. i'm a healthy person i'm chasing i'm not my diagnosis. people always. ask me to do stuff and i think why they ask me i mean i don't i don't know but i do know and i can help. phantom asked the save me save me i don't think i'll be around is it fun to be in here for. you it began in new york in the one nine hundred forty s. patients and social workers got together to create a shared community that would ensure those who go to out of the often brutal mental detention facilities of the time it would never have to go back so these are their

what three hundred thirty trapped houses that currently are around the world really the united states europe very dominant but a lot of work required in latin america africa asia yes there's still work to do that needs to be a clubhouse in every country. central thing about the clubs model we talk about the need to be needed you need a place where you are wanted when you where you are. accepted for who you are. i was headed home for many years and isolated myself it was suggested to me to come here and i thought what do i have to loose. voluntary to come here and that's very important that you come here because you want to come here not because someone else saying you have to be here. human model it's not a swedish model or american model and it's why does it work everywhere because

people are the same everywhere we need to be seen we need to be loved to be part of something i don't know how old you zero stalker. the talking points and i know it is i think mainly because people struggle with mental health so differently so you have different types of reactions to this and it is the top hash tag in several countries including the u.s. u.k. and south africa hash tag world health day but what this hash tag does not have is the word awareness many are making it clear that today is much more than just knowing about mental health but also about doing something world mental health day in my opinion is even about the tagline about spreading awareness about mental health issues ask anyone are you aware that there is mental illness in the world the be like yeah ok my job's time world mental health day isn't about what happens on here it's not what happens on social media although just get that out of the way

put your hashtag do your post on instagram and then do your post on facebook and have some fun with that but do you want to make a real difference and i know you do everyone does happens offline ask your coworker who may seem flustered stressed if they need help and ask them if everything's ok ask them how they're feeling ten times out of ten they'll probably say i'm good ask them again know how you're really feeling it how you're really doing you want to talk. now there's a side conversation going around with this mental health conversation as well and it's to ask people twice people like scott who we just heard from are be encouraged to not just take i'm fine as an answer normally people feel like they're drowning and struggling and i'll just say that anyway but to be persistent now we're seeing lots of posts also about american actor robin williams he committed suicide in two thousand and fourteen and he was once quoted as saying that the hardest thing in

life is end up with people that make you feel all alone no mental illness is not something that you can just snap and be cured from according to the world health organization one in four people will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives and around four hundred and fifty million people that's much more than the population of the united states are currently suffering from such conditions placing mental health disorders among the leading causes of ill health and disability worldwide mental health is not just about suicide and depression either it includes a long list of different disorders like anxiety eating disorders bipolar disorders and trauma related issues like post-traumatic stress disorder now countries deal with mental health in very different ways in most cultures it's still very much taboo to talk about if you struggle with mental illness according to the world health organization indonesia has locked up twelve thousand eight hundred people

because of their mental health conditions and togo it's one of the worst countries to live in if you're mentally ill many are blamed for having evil spirits and face physical abuse we have an article about that if you search for togo on our website at al jazeera dot com now japan is taking a different approach approach for its high suicide rates by installing blue l.e.d. lights and guardrails at train stations since doing that the number of people jumping in front of trains has gone down but why the blue lights they can actually help calm you down and can. lax passengers because of japan's success in this the u.k. has started installing blue lights as well now if you struggle with any type of mental health and want to share your experience you can let us know what different methods have been helpful or not helpful for you are a genius good thing maybe you've got a question for our next guest at least in london who's the c.e.o. of united for global mental health a she's been attending

a global summit on mental health in downing street today the prime minister's residence in london so thanks for stepping out to making the time for us do you feel you've had a successful day today you've made some inroads. thank you yes it's been a great day i think the commission on global mental health which was released today and the first ministerial summit on global men's health with governments and campaigners from all over the world has has been a great step forward in raising the amount of awareness on this issue and also starting to have the beginnings of some conversations around new commitments to increase the services for those that really need it right so there is awareness as an issue and then there's treating it now i know there's a whole issue about funding and we can talk about that in a moment of actually got some pictures i'm running from your video page at the moment about a friendship bench in zimbabwe isn't it can you tell us a little bit about that. yeah yeah absolutely so when it comes to mental health we all have mental health and it really doesn't

discriminate every anywhere and there are amazing and solutions being found all over the world including in countries like zimbabwe so the french offense was founded by a psychiatrist but there are twelve psychiatry in the country of fourteen million people and he just couldn't reach the demand of people to talk to we really where really passionate about a world where everyone has someone that they can turn to and what dixon has come up with is this idea of a friendship bench so what he does is he trains grandmother is to provide basic problem solving therapy of a four to six sessions to anyone who needs to talk on a friendship bench underneath the african sun and the results have been really significant and it's a it's a fantastic example of solutions can be found anywhere in the world even from zimbabwe it's been imported into new york exploded into new york and it really is a solution that we're really passion about finding more of the use and having them be scaled up around the world so that that everyone has someone they can talk to it doesn't have to be a psychiatrist. if that's not what's needed certainly we need

a lot more support across the board but these kinds of solutions that are helping to scale support are really important what a brilliant idea it is let's just quickly talk about funding though unfortunately have to talk about it because there just doesn't seem to be enough out there what what's going to be done to change that. yeah i really feel that where at a time in history now where mental health is starting to get the attention it requires at the scale that it's needed it as the prime minister just said it really is one of the most defining issues of our time especially for young people but the funding just hasn't been any way and the area where it needs to be if you look at global financing when it comes to international finance employees of a that's less than one percent of health budgets where the burden is much much higher it's literally flat lining across the bottom of the graph funders really need to step in we need civil society organizations around the world to use their voices to to colon funders and cheri this is something that's really needed this is

something that we we really saw or. if you decades ago on the hiv movement that there wasn't traction and till that kind of movement came about and that's what we really need that kind of movement in this time for this this issue alicia london great to talk to you on a very important topic as well thank you for your time. now bangladesh's main opposition party leader has been sentenced to life in prison for his role in a two thousand and four grenade attack against the current prime minister today for whom was tried in absentia here after he went into self-imposed exile back in two thousand and eight he is the son of the former opposition leader hamid is here he's already in jail prime minister sheikh hasina who was opposition leader at the time narrowly escaped the attack but suffered hearing loss rahman's lawyer says the timing of the verdict is aimed at preventing him from participating in the december elections should also know that nineteen other people were sentenced to death in this case now prime minister sheikh hasina and khaleda zia they have been bitter

rivals for years in fact they are known as the battling begum zz both are related to former national leaders and have dominated bangladeshi politics for more than two decades imprisonment means she probably won't be able to contest the elections in december the b.n.p. bangladesh nationalist party accuses shaker senior of arresting rivals just strengthen her bid for reelection security has now been beefed up in the capital in anticipation for more protests by b.n.p. leaders and activists this update is from time in the. very dramatic end to a very sensational political violence case in bangladesh's history took fourteen years and almost about one thousand four hundred fifty four days of deliberation to come to the conclusion nineteen people were given. life in prison and eleven were given. there's eighteen people are still absconding now one of the convict is a very high profile person. elder son of the former prime minister. he happens to

a sense of how powerful this storm is nothing has hit the shoreline of florida this powerful since eight hundred fifty one but what really worries the authorities here is the potential for a storm surge we're talking about four metre high storm surges across some of the most low lying most vulnerable communities in this state three hundred seventy five thousand people are under mandatory evacuation orders some locals have decided to stay hunkered down and ride this storm out because it's simply too late to leave but you also will not get any help if you do decide to stay at this storm is fairly quickly moving that means that when it gets in the forecast is saying it won't dissipate it could potentially still be a hurricane when it goes to the state north of us into southern georgia that's just how big it just and how powerful this storm is so people have for the most part he did these warnings and they're just waiting to see what hurricane michael will bring this is a monster of a storm the governor of the state saying he's praying that nobody stayed behind and

then especially did he stay behind with the children the death toll from indonesia's earth quake and tsunami is now past two thousand as authorities prepare to end the search for bodies rescue workers continue to distribute aid and prayers will be held on thursday to mark the end of the search for the dead in the city of palu where most of the bodies have been found more than sixty five thousand homes and buildings destroyed and as many as seventy thousand people displaced and authorities in china revise the law to legalize the so-called reeducation camps for weaker muslims in the remote western region of they say the camps will tackle what they call extremism through ideological transformation up to a million weak and muslims are reported to have been detained and subjected to enforced political education. or albino which. anyway which is redefining and defining define
