it's setting up a panel to consider decriminalisation in the wake of more countries legalising the drug. the guardian focuses on world mental health day and the report from the lancet, which says every country around the world is facing and failing to tackle this issue, from epidemics of anxiety and depression to conditions caused by violence and trauma. and the telegraph talks about the british government asking uk schools to monitor children's happiness and mental health in an effort to tackle growing levels of anxiety among young people. you can see the theme today, can't chew? — you? with me is geraint anderson, who is an ex—city of london stockbroker and author of city boy. he is also known as a columnist. you been busy reading all of this since i last saw you. yes. nikki haley has said that she is going, which is a real surprise. she was

she was a real style within that us politics and i do not know if you could describe her as a trump fan, but he is certainly a fan of hers. yeah, she is really loyal. there is no explanation for this departure, the timing is a bit odd, just before the timing is a bit odd, just before the midterms. the conspiracy theories that she is going to run against the president in 2020, is just a bit odd that with the timing and the fact that it is such supplies and is so abrupt, and she has had a run ins with try. there was a time when she said something about shunt‘s sanctions on russia and he said she is confused and she said something along the lines of i don't get confused, so she is seen asa don't get confused, so she is seen as a rising star. she has done this move, people are unsure about what we are perhaps she has just done a betterjob. there is always a simple solution. there is always a simple solution. there is always a simple solution but as you say, the

speculation is right on capitol hill. they don't last very long you see. she was very quick to say actually in the press conference, i'm not going run against president trump in 2020. in fact, i'm not going run against president trump in 2020. infact, i i'm not going run against president trump in 2020. in fact, i am going to support his campaign but the thought is, the thinking is that she may well run after him. yes. after his two terms, interesting that she makes this announcement this side of the mid—term elections in november. yeah, and even if she were to run in 2024, while it that dictate that she removes herself from trump's orbit at this point? so that is why that does not, i do not think that makes sense. watch this space. there are a lot of problems, you have got the new enquiry, we have got that. there are other reasons why she might feel it is best out of there right now. watch this space, as i said, we will keep an eye on nikki haley. that is for sure. —— mueller enquiry. keep an eye on nikki haley. that is

forsure. —— mueller enquiry. $33 trillion of derivatives at risk from brexit, what does that mean? all these words we get on the bank of england, the imf, all of us are trying to make sense of this. derivatives are what are described as weapons of financial destruction. they are used as a full disclosure by the potential institutions, and clearly while the bank of england feels we have done our best to prepare for a brexit and the convocations that may arise. when you say we, you mean the uk banks. the uk banks, yes, and the political institutions have done the necessary legislation. they feel that the european union has not done this and this is another one of the law of unintended consequences from brexit, we will now have legal issues related to these derivatives, these hedging instruments, and i think it principally relates to the fact that

we have large clearing banks in the city who will no longer be able to perform that function as we will leave the eu. in april, 29. april 29. but presumably the european bank, they are on it? you'd like to say so. the numbers are so preposterously large that you currently get head around $20 trillion of derivatives, you would like to think they have their head around it but they have not got much time, that is the problem. we have been discussing with the guest from the imf, your thoughts on where we are at with regards to the global economy, finance, everything. are you worried, are you having sleepless nights? i would not say having sleepless nights because i'm not as exposed as they used to be when i worked in the city and in finance, but a concern generally,

yes. i levels of debt, potential trade war, these issues. the uncertainty surrounding brexit, that we do not know. the issues our country, i suppose for the world it is not quite such a big issue. i do worry that they will be some big geopolitical event and something like israel will attack iran or something like that, and this could cause problems. especially since we have the higher oil price already. yes, what goes up must come down and we have been going up quite well since the credential crisis. the share markets have. yes, and so there could be trouble ahead. 0k, in your view. in your prediction. is quite bland... i'm sure many people are thinking fingers crossed, i hope wrong. the royal college of psychiatrists looking into the opposition to legalisation of cannabis, despite concerns about the risk to mental health. this is because many countries around the

world and in the us, it is quite high profile. some countries like colorado, it is legalised, it is the huge business, a huge industry now and the states. it is a massive moneyspinner. give us your take on this and the issue in the uk. well, imeani this and the issue in the uk. well, i mean i am fairly libertarian in my views. i think that to have cannabis out when alcohol, which is far more dangerous and far more, you do not go for a fight at the pub after you have smoked a joint, you do after a few drinks. and domestic violence or... yeah, and those things are more, so in theory i think it is the correct way to go. we actually fallen behind countries like canada and lots of state in america, portugal. and it is something that we should, essentially we should go down this road. —— lots of states. manly concern is that these very strong strains of weedon marijuana that you get now, those things, i have seen in association with those and people having mental health

issues, and there are three kids at my school who as a direct result of smoking are one had major mental health issues. and that is my main issues. there are very strong arguments for and against, i remember we discussed this before. we had viewers getting in touch saying there are some parts of london wakely is known as little amsterdam. basically legal anyway, people walk around smoking joints. it is smoked legally, does not seem to be any kind of policing that, that kind of thing, in the uk anyway. but for many who want to use cannabis oil and other things about for a medicinal purposes, it is very important issue. —— and other things like that for medicinal purposes. a study that has been done by the la ncet study that has been done by the lancetjournal, study that has been done by the lancet journal, the front study that has been done by the lancetjournal, the front page of the guardian looking at the fact that in the uk they are going to look at monitoring people in schools. the guardian article was extremely gloomy and the report is damning in terms of lack of

investment, lack of money being put into this issue, this problem and trying to tackle it around the world. absolutely, it has been so brushed under the carpet, notjust in the uk. there is a stigma associated with it. i think we've had more sociocultural change in the past 50 years than in previous 500, andi past 50 years than in previous 500, and i think people are to cope. i think men in this country particularly are struggling. it is the biggest cause of death for men under the age of 55 in this country, it isa under the age of 55 in this country, it is a massive epidemic of anxiety, stress, depression, it is stress, social media causing these issues. i have two children, i am worried about the world that they are coming into, the mental ocean. yes. and they have put this into the global agenda. —— the mental pressures. if we could help schoolkids at that age, perhaps it would set them on a

path for life. absolutely, and schools are places where the problems begin, you have bullying, social media, bellini and anorexia being quite common, and self harm. all these things, it makes sense that should be monitored and that they should be, problem should be nipped in the bud. and i think anything that does that, when you consider that there is almost i million people committing suicide every year, then i think anything that can avoid those kinds of stresses is to be encouraged massively. all right. thank you. 80 for your input this morning. thank you to so many great comments. —— thanks for your input. whatever you up thanks for your input. whatever you up to this morning, enjoy good mental health. and i hope to see very soon. bye—bye. hello. we'll start the forecast with some sunshine and end it with something quite different, but for wednesday, the sunshine we saw on tuesday across england and wales extends

across northern ireland and scotland. finally, we say goodbye to this rain bearing front. however, it's all change again by the time we get to friday. potentially, some disruptive, wet and windy weather pushing across the uk, but we'll talk about that in more detail in just a moment's time. first to wednesday, which is going to be a fine, dry day, plenty of sunshine across the uk. there will be a little bit more cloud across northern and western scotland first thing, it will soon thin and break. fairly noticeable south or south—east breeze. you can see how that warmth extends across england and wales into northern ireland and scotland. temperatures widely in the high teens, low 20 celsius, perhaps even 23 or 24 for east anglia and south—east england. but the skies will turn hazy across south—west and southern england later in the day. outbreaks of rain pushing their way northwards through the evening and overnight into south—west england, wales, northern ireland, the midlands. northwest england probably staying

mainly dry across scotland and the east of england. look at these temperatures, this is what you expect by day at this time of the year. a very mild night as we go into thursday. but thursday's going to be a transition day, we have not one but two fronts working their way across england. patches of early—morning rain in south—west england. behind it, some sunshine for a time. more rain arriving into south—west england, wales, northern ireland, western scotland. it will eventually push its way up into the midlands and north—west england. ahead of this, we've still got some warmth across east anglia, south—east england. 21 or 22 celsius here. starting to see something cooler further west. then some very turbulent weather potentially on friday. a deep area of low pressure, tightly packed isoba rs, so gales and heavy rain. we've got multiple heavy warnings in place at the moment. that will be pushing its way across the uk, bringing heavy rain into western scotland,

northern ireland, wales and south—west england. still very windy for north ireland through the afternoon. that rain may not get across to the far south—east of england until later in the day. these are the average, sustained winds, but the gusts could well get up to 50 or 60 miles an hour, maybe even higher. so potentially some disruptive winds, keep an eye on the warnings. there are lots of them and they're all on our website. bye— bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: trying to tackle mental health — as the government announces a new ministerfor suicide prevention, critics say people are still being failed by a lack of provision. i'm looking at how businesses are trying to relieve the mental pressure on workers, as some of the uk's biggest banks and law firms agree to change their culture to combat stress at work. the us prepares for hurricane michael —
