the medicines used currently don't help everyone with the condition, so cambridge university hope theh. here's our science correspondent, richard westcott. there's a growing realisation that mental health problems aren'tjust in our brain. that they can affect many different parts of our body, including our blood. so, effectively, you have taken the blood from people with schizophrenia and people without schizophrenia, and you can see the differences in their blood? yeah, absolutely. so it actually turns out the cells from patients with schizophrenia utilise calcium in a slightly different way. the calcium is used to communicate within the cell, and the cells from patients with schizophrenia are communicating in a different way. the cambridge team is now using that difference to try out new medicines. if a drug fixes the problem in the blood, it could also help make the patient feel better. until now, people with schizophrenia have used trial and error to find a drug that works for them. the whole process can take years, if it works at all. but by testing different drug treatments on s

top jobs in the uk are still dominated by people who went to private schools and oxford or cambridge university the educational background of 5000 people in top professions. it found that the 7% who attended private schools and the 1% who graduated from oxford and cambridge still dominated. steven cooper from the social mobility commission told my colleague joanna gosling there was an inbalance in society. 7% of the uk population go to fee—paying education, yet they have nearly 40% of top jobs across a number of professions, and that is increasingly so if you are a male versus a female. there is an imbalance, they are not representative of a broader society and we are missing out on a pool of talent that can have those roles but have not been through fee—paying education. what i saw was pop stars making it into the list in the proportion of pop stars, 20%, which ranks higher than the proportion of university vice chancellors that were privately educated. what is going on? i think some of those are to do with the social confidence you get through fee—paying schools, social confidence, articulacy

janine machine from look east is joining us from cambridge to tell us about two cambridge universityes. many people suffer for yea rs of houses. many people suffer for years after the incident so what have been people telling about their experiences? they have said it affects the confidence and mental health. some people have been frightened to go out, they have suffered bullying and chilling online. some people have had counselling and had window and door alarms fitted to make them safer. andy told me how she was attacked at work. a guy keynote of a block of flats and called me a paedophile. he threatened to start me, smashed my carup. he threatened to start me, smashed my car up. he held her dog chain up to my face. really unbelievable. —— a guy came out of a block of flats. what have the police been saying — because often victims will turn to officers as their first port of call for help? they said it was treat everyone with respect and will handle all cases respectfully. they will handle all cases, however small. often people have received use of abuse before they get to the end

top jobs in the uk are still dominated by people who went to private schools and oxford or cambridge university with me now is steven cooper, a commissioner from the social mobility commission. you are part of it because i know you feel very passionate about it because of your own background which we will come under. festival, the overview of what has come out in the study. we are increasingly divided between those who went, the people that went to private school are still dominating. why‘s that? there is an imbalance, 7% of the uk population go to a fee—paying education, yet they occu py fee—paying education, yet they occupy nearly 40% of top jobs across number of professions, increasingly so number of professions, increasingly so if you are male versus a female. they are necessarily representative ofa they are necessarily representative of a broader society. 0ne of a broader society. one of the things that caught my eye is pop making it into the list in the proportion of pop stars that are privately educated. 20%, which ranks higher than the university high chancellors. what is the story behi

affairs think tank chatham house, and by gary gerstle, a professor of american history at cambridge universityking about the value of today's events. what do you think it means in diplomatic terms given we have a prime minister who is on her way out and a power vacuum here at the moment. we do but remember it asa at the moment. we do but remember it as a state visit. it is about the united states and the united kingdom. it's not really meant to be about donald trump and theresa may which is a good thing seeing as theresa may won't be there very long and donald trump has a 21% approval rating in the uk. this visit, especially today which is so much about the ceremony, it's really meant to frame the us and the uk as important partners over a long period of time and that is not an easy thing to do because in the entire context of his presidency it has been very troubled between the united states and its european partners not least the uk. what do states visits do in terms of making sure the special relationship is still special or otherjust sure the special relationship is still special or other

in the faculty of english at the university of cambridge. welcome back to democracy now! can you start off by responding to presidentnt trump saying the protests were very minor, in fact fake news, far outnumbered by the supporters who apparently he said were gathered -- a pallet, thousands and thousands of them to greet him? that is an outright lie. we are not very surprised it iss coming for president trumpmp, bt as you said, in the lead up to werebit, 75,000 protesters out in london alone on the middle of the day on a working day tuesday. it was a rainy day. despite that, the bbc and all of the other outlets here have accepted that there were several thousands protesters. and very committed very few trump supporters. -- very, very few trump supporters. trump has said is exactly the opposite of the case. remember, there were protests in other cities on a much smaller hade, but london alone 75,000 protesters. so that is simply an untruth. juan: president trump has said britain should refuse to pay the nearly $50 billion brexit bill and just

are still unduly dominated by people who have gone through private schools and oxford and cambridge universitiesed in the topjobs. 0k, the topjobs. ok, so obviously they are saying that needs to change. yes, they are, but why, if the top job has gone to the top person? you could argue that's how it should be. let's talk to the founder of the sutton trust. what's wrong with this position? well, there is something right and something wrong. the facts are that the elite, oxford and cambridge and some people from independent schools, are going to the top. the problem is, if the base of people that get into those places that is the problem. let's take oxford and cambridge first. as you said, less than 1% of people go to oxford and cambridge, so they are highly selective, they are two of the greatest universities in the world, when people go there, generally something good happens to them and when they come out they actually qualify for those top jobs. let's talk about who gets in. they have done a good job for the last few years against what most people think. the numbers of kids from state schools,

she's the lecturer in the defense department of politics and international studies at the university of cambridgeshe's joining us from london thanks so much for speaking to us on al-jazeera so as you know the united states has in the past tried to mediate in this gulf crisis and it's also made it clear that the dispute affects its policies in the region one of which is confronting iran and how do you think this blockade has actually affected the u.s. and saudi its policies on iran. well it has not particularly affected iran. saudi relationships in the sense that the qatar is were able to bounce back from the blockade and one of their key directional moves was to be able to fly qatar airways over iran air space and to increase the amount of trade that was being done between iran and cutter so in effect the blockade has have the opposite effect than it had originally intended and could any talks be going on right now behind the scenes in terms of any mediation to find an end to the gulf disputes. it's likely that they will lead anywhere if there are the body language and the hostility that existed

are not for everyone and cambridge are not for everyone and people go to other universitiesme from com pletely was for someone who had come from completely outside the system, i learned what the rules of the game are. ok. let's talk about how we change this, if you think it needs to be changed, nick, what do you say? i never asked anyone where they we re say? i never asked anyone where they were educated and i don't care, frankly. if people come in, do a good job and work hard, they get on well, and i can't really understand the obsession with education. it does exist in some areas. it is not for me. i recently revamped the business to make sure people in a management situation had come through the operation, prove themselves, prove they could get on with people at the lower end of the organisation, could understand the lower end of the organisation as same as the management. i don't ask people where they are educated and i don't care. but do you care that the media, politics, you know, some of the top bosses in the ftse 250 list etc, so many come from private school, when s

i have done things for oxford university and cambridge, and other organisations, so i think yes, iamyes, i am being adopted slowly by the establishment. thank you very much forjoining us. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. all i'm going to say is don't shoot the messenger. you probably won't like this. we are getting to the time of year where school sports days, summer fetes, it time of year where school sports days, summerfetes, it is going to be quite wet and windy. windy with some showers around. a better story tomorrow but the reason why it is wet and windy is because of this area of low pressure. it is on the flank that we have the strongest winds, in excess of 50 and 60 mph along the west coast at the moment. that is not great for almost the middle ofjune. the rainy sitting across the midlands and up into wales and western and scotland. to the north—west of scotland, a few scattered showers into northern ireland, and even if the rain continues to push its way north and east, to the south it is a case of sunny spells and scattered showers. some of the showers w

farman for minus a lecture in the departments of politics and international studies at the university of cambridge she joins us now from london if i could just start by asking you what the impacts of this book aid has been i mean has it benefits seeds anyone at all. in effect it has not and your pointing out about the human rights issues is an important one and likewise the relationships among the states in the region have not benefited from there being such a breakdown although certainly the relationship between iran and cutter and between turkey and qatar have improved markedly since this particular and bargo began well it's interesting you mention iran because saudi arabia very recently had some hastily convenes summits in recent days the g.c.c. beats in your particular where the qatari prime minister was in attendance but even these meetings i mean have they changed anything because saudi arabia clearly feels . the need to do something about this perceived threat from iran but this blockade seems to be hampering efforts to move the trial on this. well it is interesting that the prime minister

hormone farming on is a lecturer in the department of politics and international studies at the university of cambridgeshe says by diversifying trade links qatar has largely been able to withstand the challenges of the blockade certainly a mediately reestablished stronger relations with turkey which had been one of the requirements for. in terms of how saudi approached saudi qatar is need to adapt to this saudi requirement so it's qataris reestablish really strong relationships there it's had a very good run in terms of relationships with iran and it has diversified its trade which was very important for all of the the gulf states which are not self-sufficient on the international scale it has certainly been able to continue independently but as an observer it seems to me that it has definitely reduced some of the activities that it had become so well known for conducting prior to this so many of its encouragement to various different players to come in and meet each other within this out of the country platform and some of the real challenge that al-jazeera presented in the arab world have all been re

obstacles to the trade deal is meredith crowley, she's an international trade economist at the university of cambridgeg, was a former uk trade negotiator. open to both. david, if we could get first to react to what nigel faraj is saying, that the us i'd have got 13 chapters, they are well on their way with the trade deal, donald trump says all the time it's good to go, but we are somewhere behind the curve? whether us standard has a tempeh for trade agreements, they have been many of them in the past, theyjust finished doing one in mexico and canada, although it's not been ratified yet. so no surprise that they've got lots of material ready, equally the uk has not done a trade agreement before, not for many years, so equally no surprise that we are not ready. and certainly i would be thinking we would want to take our time, we wouldn't want to do all this very quickly, we want to make sure our interests are protected. you gearup to sure our interests are protected. you gear up to do a trade deal off the bat, as one of your first trade deals, talk about setting ambitions high, with the biggest economy
