that, from 19m, the drugs had was that, from 1971, the drugs act, which is the basis for all of oui’ act, which is the basis for all of our legislation, it's responsible for deciding a medical decision, and this is a kind of home office deciding a medical decision, and finally sajid javid, the home secretary, and there's a bit of politics here, because this is a break with his predecessor, theresa may, who was home secretary once, he's woken up to common sense that there is a medicinal purpose for cannabis oil and it can help every delete —— help alleviate people with certain conditions. it's a common—sense verdict. it's not a free for all, and sajid javid is careful to say, look, this isn't going to be for recreational use. it's specifically for this medicinal area. yes, as i say, quite a few hurdles to overcome all this, and it's an example of what they called pa rent it's an example of what they called parent power. it was a mother, like the one pictured on the front page, pushing this. we've seen this
10:46 pm
wonderful picture, and she's been fighting to get this drug reclassified from schedule one, to schedule two, which means it can be used for medicinal purposes. the chief medical officer and public health england have been working to try and find out that it's medicinal, and they have concluded there was evidence showing it has some benefit. now they have to try and establish in the future what defines, you know, medicinal cannabis, what's in it, where will you get it, who will produce it, where will it be bought from and who will it come from? let's crack on. the weather. it's always a time when people run out of headline ideas but, you know, ithink people run out of headline ideas but, you know, i think the metro did jolly well. we all know, if we've had a train cancelled this morning, or if the road has buckled and
10:47 pm
melted, if you've been burnt or trapped on the m6 today or the m20 or the a30 in somerset, which was closed, there was a good report out from mps, who have gone into recess, the environmental audit committee yesterday, talking about how we don't as brits take hot weather warnings seriously. they were saying that we take cold weather warnings seriously, but we can't think, it's a barbecue alert. when hot weather warnings come... just a bit of fun. get the beers in. when the temperature starts to hit 25 and 30, there is a lot of heat related illnesses and deaths can result in and there is the cry of, well, the government should do more to get us into it, but it's a difficult one. british habits as much as anything. we'll have to adjust. we've had the ten warmest years on record since 1998. global warming is happening. climate change is a reality, and it
10:48 pm
leads to more unsettled weather, and as this report says, this was interesting, it wasn'tjust as this report says, this was interesting, it wasn't just about transport, it's across the board would our buildings are not fit for purpose, hospitals had to change, and we're going to have to rethink design, rethink infrastructure. it's a big challenge. yes. i don't think it's quite on the front page, but we we re it's quite on the front page, but we were hearing today about the situation at the eurotunnel sergeant graham, eight or nine hours people being stuck. you're going to need a holiday after that! —— the situation at the eurotunnel sounding graham ford it's common sense, really, but who'd want to be stuck in eurotunnel? also a suggestion that some people were saying, well, perhaps we'll get like the continentals and not do much between 11am and 3pm. are you proposing a siesta? but the country has problems
10:49 pm
with productivity as it is! we are the country —— the country with the longest working hours in europe is actually the greeks. and french productivity is better than ours. i've never worked out why that is. jason, take us through the financial times, please. this facebook story, a bit complicated but important. talking about a huge decline in its share price. it seems to be, for a company that is dominating everything, getting into a lot of trouble. yes and no. although it's been a massive run day for the share price, after it was still higher thanit price, after it was still higher than it was last year. it was still a massive, massive global enterprise. what's the problem? well, it's twofold. one is that it's kind of seen a decrease, or a
10:50 pm
forecast in degrees in advertising revenues, which is the primary reason it spooked investors. it's partly because it's reached saturation point there are only a certain number of people in the world and most of them are already on facebook. and then they have a bigger problem, which is where the focus is, which is that this is a technological company which happens to bea technological company which happens to be a publisher, but is never taken that site seriously, never had any editorial control, and as we will come onto with other papers, it's come under a lot of criticism for either misuse of data or failing to kind of police, editorialised properly the content. what hope it's a perfect storm, if you like. all happening at once. at one time. the mighty falling here. looking at the financial times front page, the biggest share price warning. fangs start diverged. i'm not asking you
10:51 pm
to tell us what that is, because i haven't looked through, but there is a lot to this. absolutely, and it's kind of reaping what you sow, ultimately. as i say, is the biggest one day fall in us history, and this warning has been issued. but still a huge amount, billions of people are facebook users. it's a huge market. o nto facebook users. it's a huge market. onto the times, they've got a particular line on it, haven't they? just read that out to us. the anti—semitic gateposts on facebook. this is the ongoing anti—semitic argument about the labour party, perhaps, but it's claiming that these posts have claimed that the holocaust is a lie and that jews are, quote, unquote, barbaric and sanitary. these comments have named
10:52 pm
on facebook, despite being flagged to the social media company, and this is thanks to a times investigation, so there are these foul cartoons depicting jewish people, describing them as cockroaches and different things. all of us are aware of the stories when people post on facebook after suffering breast cancer or breast—feeding and they've had pictures taken down. and yet these vile comments and images still remain for the facebook is on a pr offensive at the moment, saying they are recruiting more people to moderate the content, but they are clearly not recruiting and all the people doing it on doing a good enoughjob, but people doing it on doing a good enough job, but they need to do something about it but they haven't woken up to that. are the biggest publisher in the world. they are the main source of news for a lot of people. most people under 30 get their news from facebook before a print publication. i hate to say that. and yet they've refused to
10:53 pm
ta ke that. and yet they've refused to take responsibility that other media organisations do, exerting editorial control, and this... but it's not just facebook. i see an twitter frequently people saying, hey, why haven't you taken down this abusive post? it is an all social media. that's the issue. right, 0k. let's move on. the telegraph, a curious story, teenagers told to getjobs for the summer. shy teenager is! my granddaughter has a job in a pub, so she's doing all right. what's this about? who is saying this? one of the few times in my life i'm going to agree with work and pensions secretary esther mcvey. i spent most of my time criticising her! i think the daily telegraph has good sports coverage. look, not enough young
10:54 pm
people are getting summerjobs. too few stu d e nts people are getting summerjobs. too few students are working their way through university. she says something interesting, almost contradictory of the message coming from the conservative government previously, that they are focusing too much on studying and doing their homework and getting grades rather than getting real life experience. as somebody who got their first summer as somebody who got their first summerjob as somebody who got their first summer job at 13, as somebody who got their first summerjob at 13, and it taught me a lot,... doing what? i don't like ha rd lot,... doing what? i don't like hard work, for example! i was washing up in a canteen. and then i did various other interesting... i entirely agree. i'd encourage people to get holiday jobs entirely agree. i'd encourage people to get holidayjobs if they can. entirely agree. i'd encourage people to get holidayjobs if they canm says here that girls are more likely to combine studying at school with having a job than boys, far more likely to do that, and i entirely agree. i also had jobs, likely to do that, and i entirely agree. ialso hadjobs, i had likely to do that, and i entirely agree. i also had jobs, i had a paper round, a sunday paper round, which was the heaviest one. it weighed more than the dailies! an
10:55 pm
early start in journalism, always a good sign. exactly, but they say there is research that has failed, suggesting that schools and universities are discouraging students from taking on work and i know, if you go to certain universities like oxbridge, i don't think you are permitted to work in term time. she is arguing it's more likely to get you a job ultimately. there is one downside. she goes on to say that it was thanks to doing work in spirit that it encouraged her to join work in spirit that it encouraged her tojoin the bbc work in spirit that it encouraged her to join the bbc for the son who knows? —— doing work experience that encouraged her tojoin knows? —— doing work experience that encouraged her to join the knows? —— doing work experience that encouraged her tojoin the bbc, so who knows? the daily telegraph, digital age strikes out the signature. do you still sign for things? i do. i was signature. do you still sign for things? i do. iwas asked signature. do you still sign for things? i do. i was asked to do it the other day, and so what is yours signature like? mine is pretty poor. when you have to sign it on lectures
