Former marine on trying to rebuild his life after suffering PTSD, prison & drug addiction.

The horror of war brought home - former marine on trying to rebuild his life after suffering PTSD, prison and drug addiction.

We hear many stories about mental health and addiction but how easy is it to get the help that you need? James is a 27 year old former Royal Marine Commando from Northern Ireland who fought in Afghanistan. After he left the army he suffered PTSD, mental health and addiction problems even spending time in prison. Now he is trying to get his life back on track. If you feel you need to speak to someone or want more information you can contact the BBC Action line bbc.co.uk/actionline

Also on the programme, Irish News commentator says that the Department of Health needs to show it takes the law on whistleblowers as seriously as it takes the law on data protection. It comes after the Department of Health launched an inquiry into the leaking of letters to the the Irish News. They were 'alert letters' about two former managers at Runwood's Dunmurry Manor care home. The Department of Health gave Trusts just two weeks to respond. Contrast that with the time it’s taken for the Department to launch its investigation into what happened around Dunmurry Manor care home. Has the Department got its priorities right? Stephen spoke to Newton Emerson and the Irish News' health correspondent Seanin Graham.

And, the former Labour MP and Strictly Come Dancing star Ed Balls is taking us on a trip through America's Deep South to meet Trump's most avid supporters. All for his new programme on BBC 2 "Travels in Trumpland" with Ed Balls. He spoke to Stephen this morning.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country.
