A study suggests anyone who uses cannabis is more likely to have a psychotic illness.
Anti-terror police in Australia have dropped charges against a doctor arrested after the car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow.
Heathrow Airport -- hoping to stop a demonstration by environmental activists -- is seeking an injunction that could cover millions of people.

CANNABIS
Researchers say people who have used cannabis are, on average, forty per cent more likely to develop a psychotic illness than those who've never used the drug. The authors of a report, in the Lancet medical journal, say there's now sufficient evidence to warn young people that cannabis could increase their risk of developing conditions such as schizophrenia. Here's our health correspondent, Jane Dreaper:
DREAPER: This review of existing data found what the researchers said was a consistent association between cannabis use and psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions. They report an increased risk of up to two-hundred per cent for people who use cannabis most frequently. The authors say the risk to any individual of getting schizophrenia remains low overall -- but because cannabis use is so common, they estimate it could be a factor in fourteen percent of psychotic problems among young adults in the UK. An accompanying comment article in the Lancet says this equates to around eight-hundred cases of schizophrenia a year. A leading psychiatrist described the findings as competent and conservative -- but this is a contentious area, with one professor remarking that the paper wasn't consistent with the fact that the incidence of schizophrenia hadn't changed in the past thirty years.
 
CANNABIS ACT
Glyn Lewis -- the professor of psychiatric epidemiology at Bristol University -- carried out the review. He told TODAY although his research doesn't PROVE that cannabis can cause psychotic conditions -- it does suggest a strong link:
LEWIS ACT: We can't really be certain whether cannabis causes psychotic still but we think that the weight of evidence is now sufficient that at least we should be warning people that it may be that cannabis does these serious illnesses.
 
AUSTRALIA
The authorities in Australia have dropped terrorism charges against an Indian doctor who was arrested in connection with last month's bomb attacks in London and Glasgow. Dr Mohamed Haneef, who's twenty-seven, had been accused of recklessly supporting terrorism. From Sydney, Nick Bryant reports:
BRYANT: Prosecutors had originally argued that a SIM card, allegedly provided by Dr Mohammed Haneef, was found in a burning jeep rammed into Glasgow airport - it was their central piece of evidence against him. But as soon as it emerged that the SIM card was in fact discovered in Liverpool, the case began to collapse. On Wednesday, Australia's chief prosecutor announced a review of the case. He decided, after looking at the evidence, that the charge of recklessly providing resources to a terrorist organisation should be dropped. But the twenty-seven-year-old Indian Doctor will remain in dention under Australia's immigration laws. Before the charge was dropped, the country's immigration minister had decided to cancel his visa, claiming he'd failed what's called the character test.
 
SHARES
The London stock exchange is just beginning trading -- following the biggest one day fall for five years yesterday. The decline was triggered by a squeeze on credit, as our business correspondent, Greg Wood, reports:
WOOD: In the past twenty-four hours, world stock markets have taken their biggest hits since the start of the Iraq War. And it's all about credits or the lack of it. Much of the rise in share-prices this year has been driven by the takeover boom, as private equity buyers have bid up the values of the companies they're targeting. But most of those deals are paid for with borrowed money and the lenders; the banks have laid off a large proportion of those loans by selling them on to other investors rather like a bookmaker laying off bets. But not anymore. Rising interest rates have made it more difficult to borrow and investors bruised by losses in the United States mortgage market have lost their appetite for buying risky loans from the banks. Without the credit to pay for the big takeover deals, share prices fall.

TEACHERS
The BBC has uncovered evidence of cheating by teachers to improve their pupils' exam results. It's being blamed on the pressure of constant testing, and the importance attached to league tables. Teachers say there's little incentive to expose the corruption, because better results are welcomed by everybody. The research was carried out for the Julian Worricker show on Radio Five Live on Sunday morning.

DIABETES
Scientists are warning that two drugs -- commonly used to treat Type Two Diabetes -- double the risk of heart failure among diabetics who are young and otherwise healthy. The drugs -- Avandia and Actos -- are taken by one hundred and thirty thousand people. Ray Furlong has been looking at the research, carried out at the University of East Anglia:
FURLONG: These findings are based on an analysis of more than seventy-eight-thousand patients and estimate that two percent of patients taking Avandia and Actos over a twenty-six month period will need to be admitted to hospital due to heart failure. The medicines are approved for use in the NHS by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. It said it would await further guidance from the European Medicines Agency which is expecting to publish further research into the drugs in October. It the US, the food and drug administration is also examining Avendia's heart risks.

NASA
It's alleged that some NASA astronauts have been allowed to fly on space missions while drunk -- despite warnings that they'd posed a safety risk. A report in an aviation industry magazine says that a panel of NASA doctors has cited at least two instances of astronauts flying while intoxicated. In a separate development, the American space agency revealed that a computer, due to be fitted to the international space station, was sabotaged.
 
HEATHROW
The owner of Heathrow Airport, BAA, is seeking an injunction to thwart a demonstration by environmental activists. Protesters say the terms of the injunction could be so wide as to include millions of people belonging to such organisations as Friends of the Earth and the RSPB. Here's our Transport Correspondent, Tom Symonds:
SYMONDS: BAA will go to court next week to ask for an injunction banning organisations which campaign against the environmental effects of flying from going near the airport. These include the pressure groups Airport Watch, Plane Stupid, and the Heathrow Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise. The week long camp for climate action is due to take place next month. But the three groups say the injunction would also prevent their supporters from using the airport or its rail and road links. Airport Watch, for example, is a coalition of groups including the National Trust, the RSPB and the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England of which the Queen is patron. The campaigners say its corporate bullying -- and the injunction could affect millions of members of these organisations. BAA insists it's simply trying to ensure the safe and smooth running of Heathrow at one of its busiest periods.
 
DE VILLEPIN
The former French Prime Minister, Dominic de Villepin, is due to appear before two judges today about the Clearstream affair, an alleged attempt to smear Nicolas Sarkozy, before he became President. He's expected to be placed under formal investigation, the first step to criminal charges. During the Clearstream affair, Mr Sarkozy's name was wrongly linked to an illegal bank account in Luxembourg.
 
FLOODS
The Prince of Wales is to visit victims of the flooding in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. He'll also meet emergency teams and volunteers struggling to clear up after the deluge. Bob Walker reports:
WALKER: Following his visit to flood-damaged areas of Northern England, Prince Charles is expected to meet emergency workers and people whose homes and businesses had been damaged in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. Severn Trent Water says it managed to restore supplies to around ten thousand homes in the Tewkesbury area by diverting water from a treatment works at Strensham. But the pipes may have been contaminated by flood water and people are being warned not to drink that tap water or use it for cooking. Tankers have working through out the night to refill the nine-hundred water bowsers on the streets through out the region. Tributes have paid to a father and son who died when they used a generator to pump water from Tewkesbury Rugby Club. It's thought Bram and Chris Lane may have been overcome by fumes. Bram Lane who was sixty-four was described as club stalwart and a community lynchpin.
 
NICK LEESON
Nick Leeson, the former trader who caused the collapse of Barings Bank, has a new job. He's been appointed as chief executive of Galway United Football Club, languishing near the bottom of the Irish Premier League. Diarmaid Fleming reports from Dublin:
FLEMING: Nick Leeson is no stranger to the boardroom at Galway United where he has been general manager for the past two years. Any problems he might have had explaining a gap in his career on his CV have been overcome by his performance at the club, which said he was a "wonderful addition" to the management in a statement announcing his appointment as chief executive. Leeson was sentenced to six and a half years jail in Singapore, after he racked up huge losses in illegal trading in the Far East in the mid-1990s, causing his employer Barings Bank which numbered the Queen among its clients to collapse in 1995. While once he tried to shore up multi-billion pound deals, his main priority now will be trying to help Galway United, currently third from bottom in Ireland's premier league, avoid relegation.
