2 -    Double détermination du GN clinical evidence,

en second par un segment en -ing déterminant :

increasing clinical evidence linking cannabis use to mental illness.

 

 

2 -    Increasing numbers of people

are becoming dependent on cannabis,

The Observer has learnt.

Department of Health figures show that drug centres

are reporting growing [ adjectif ]  numbers

coming to them with problems related to the drug.

Nine per cent of all those attending clinics cited cannabis

as the main reason they were attending,

rather than any of the other drugs they were using,

twice as many as a decade ago.

With a separate study by the World Health Organisation

showing that one in five 15-year-olds in Britain smokes cannabis

- more than twice the world average -

there is concern that many are becoming addicted to the drug earlier in life.

Although government experts insist cannabis is non-addictive,

there is growing [ adjectif ]  evidence

suggesting that regular users of high-strength varieties

may develop a chronic dependence.

There is also increasing [ adjectif ]  clinical evidence

linking cannabis use to mental illness,

particularly schizophrenia, psychosis, anxiety and depression.

US research shows that 80 per cent of new cases of psychosis

in some hospitals have been triggered by cannabis use.

Someone who starts using cannabis aged 15

is at more than four times the risk of developing schizophrenia over the next 11 years

than someone starting smoking the drug at 18.

And 18-year-olds who have used cannabis at least 50 times have

a seven-fold increased risk of developing psychosis in the next 15 years.

Last month The Priory,

one of Britain's leading [ adjectif ]  addiction treatment centres,

responded to an increase in inquiries about cannabis dependency

by publishing a new leaflet for users and their relatives.

The group's medical director, Michael Rowlands, said:

'There is no doubt that cannabis is addictive

and that we are seeing an increase in dependence,

especially among the young

and those smoking the stronger varieties of cannabis.

Falluja fighting continues

 

US marines were today battling insurgents

attempting to return to the southern Iraqi city of Falluja ,

killing three militants as violence continued

to flare across the Sunni-dominated heartland.

Disenchanted Britons head for the exit

 

Increasing [ adjectif ] numbers seeking new life abroad

[ segment en -ing déterminant ]

At teatime today, as they do most weekdays,

a fair share of those with leisure on their hands

will be flopping down with a cup of tea and a biscuit

and tuning into A Place in the Sun.

Not, for those out of the loop,

the classic weepie starring Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor,

but Channel 4's hugely successful series which finds homes in exotic locations

- Marrakesh is the destination today - for Brits who fancy a change of scene.

New figures released by the Office of National Statistics yesterday

suggest that such programmes are not simply a vicarious pleasure:

a steadily increasing [ adjectif ] number of British people

- and not just elderly retirees - are actually packing their bags and moving abroad.

According to the figures, 361,000 people left the UK last year.

Of these, just under 191,000 were British,

the highest level since the current method

of collating the figures [ N en -ing ]

was introduced in the early 1990s.

The ONS statistics show that in 1994 only 125,000 British people upped and went,

a figure which increased steadily until the late 1990s when there was a slight drop.

In 2000 161,000 people packed their bags, and in 2002 186,000 left.

Of the 161,000, around a quarter were aged over 45

- and therefore likely to be members of the A Place in the Sun brigade.

The other three-quarters, researchers believe, are made up primarily

of adult workers moving abroad for a new challenge

[ segment déterminant ],

or new posting [ GN ], and their families.

The chief constable of Humberside police

who is refusing to resign in the face of

stinging criticism over his force's handling of Ian Huntley

received the backing of his boss today.

The chairman of the Humberside police authority, Colin Inglis,

said that chief constable David Westwood

was being made a scapegoat for

police failings that were identified in the Bichard inquiry.

The inquiry yesterday highlighted the "deeply shocking" blunders

made by both Humberside and Cambridgeshire police forces

in their investigations of allegations of sexual offences

committed by Huntley in Grimsby before he was appointed

caretaker of Soham Village College.

He's been given a kicking at the local elections

and was last night facing a bloody nose at the European polls.

So it's just the kind of cheerful news Tony Blair needs now:

that the cinematic equivalent of a rottweiler, Michael Moore,

is contemplating making the prime minister his next victim.

Fresh from savaging President George Bush

in the critically acclaimed Fahrenheit 9/11,

the filmmaker is now thinking about making a movie

about Mr Blair and Britain's role in the war on Iraq.

"I personally hold Blair more responsible for this war than I do George Bush.

The reason is, Blair knows better,"

Moore said in an interview with the Reuters news agency.

"Blair is not an idiot. What is he doing hanging around this guy?"

America has been bracing itself for the release of Fahrenheit 9/11,

which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival.

There has even been speculation that the film could help

to tip the November US presidential election

in favour of Mr Bush's rival, John Kerry.
