Over the last hundred and 50 years, lots of people have given their

Now a new study in Jersey has been launched through the hospital to try

development is going to plan. But issues with an unborn childs

health can start from before Doctors are warning

of the importance of a mothers health before and during pregnancy,

as it can have a lasting effect. All of its programming with regards

to insulin levels blood pressure and everything is set

when the baby is inside the uterus so what happens then in adult life

has a big impact because the baby can't respond because its programmed

for a starvation situation so when it's not in a starvation

mode that s when perhaps problems occur with high blood pressure,

stroke, diabetes for example so the mothers health

as she felt the information she got with her first

pregancny was confusing. You can't have this,

you can have this, you can't have this, you know cheeses,

fish, shellfish So I really didn't enjoy it

at all, whereas I think it got to the second,

I was still a little bit like that but I tended to calm down throughout

to the end of the pregnancy, third and fourth I kind of do

what I automatically feel is right. And to get the right amount of data,

announced the funding in association with the NSPCC's

Baby Steps programme. It helps future parents learn

about caring for newborns as well as dealing with the stresses

a baby can bring. The children's charity believes

by supporting new families, recovery from birth and postnatal

depression can be improved. With thousands of users,

the police in Jersey say the only way to close down an illegal taxi

service would be to join forces It follows comments made

by an officer which were caught He told one of the town's parking

marshalls it would take a serious accident for the police to tackle

the issue of Jersey Lifts. Chris Harrison has been talking to

the Jersey Taxi Drivers Association about their frustration -

and they described the footage only footage, Ed shares one of the

taxi marshals breaking up a brawl that was going on between Jay-Z left

drivers and the police officer that also helped break it up. We're why

they weren't doing something about it because it is happening more

said they are just waiting on a serious accident.

It's punted as a cheap alternative to a taxi -

a social media page where people can ask for a lift from strangers

but despite its popularity, Jersey Lifts is unregulated

It's been running for years and while the comment made

by the police officers on camera has been described as unfortunate,

the police admit they're struggling to tackle Jersey Lifts saying...

The police have carried out previous investigations

Only when they start making an example of these people and start

prosecuting, in England, you can be fined up to ?5,000 if you cannot

have business as an unregistered taxi driver. It's not until they

prosecute someone and show the full weight of the law is brought down on

these people will they actually stop it. Jersey could get its first

elderly and special needs nursing unit for islanders with learning

disabilities. Les Amis is partnering

with the Jersey homes trust, Should they get planning permission,

the new facility called Evelina court, could be open by the end

of next year. It will provide long term

residential accomodation for adults with learning disabilities

and the growing number of those We found three days situations where

we had residents who have needs, they have the way to run available

bed. Sometimes that can take a long time. When people need of the nose,

that's then we have to reach out and resolve the problems for them.

Without this facility, we should be adding to a growing population with

need in regards to elderly care. The price of a driving licence

in Jersey is increasing. The new charges that come

into place on the first of May will see a six month provisional

licence increasing by five pounds to ?20, whereas a full

ten-year licence - whether new or a renewal -

to remember and reflect. That's how Australians

and New Zealanders across the Channel Islands commemorated

Anzac Day. One of the important

occasions for countries, it marks the anniversary

of when more than 11,000 antipodeans lost their lives

during the First World War. Don or just before dawn was the last

minute of peace is often that soldiers had in the First World War.

Any changes, they had to stand just before dawn to be ready for attack.

That is why we come together on dawn. Today marks the anniversary of

World War I. 8700 from as Elliott, 2721 from New Zealand. News of the

operation. -- from Friday. -- Australia. This day became the

sacrifice from wall commemoration. Over the past hundred and 50 years,

lots of people have given their lives already been injured in

wounded in support of the freedoms we enjoy today. We do take these for

granted. They were very hard ones. Windy is part of an international

community. We do have people here from very many parts of the world.

All have fought for freedom in some way or another and we should mark

that as well. -- Guernsey. Well, after a little rain any night,

jersey men say what they called absolute drought is over. Next year

there was more on the way. -- Jersey Met.

Good evening. Art again arriving. Feeling chilly. Quite a bonus

us more about how to For some youngsters in Cornwall,

football isn't just a kickabout in the park -

it's an attempt to steer them away from drink and drugs

and stop them fighting. PL Kicks is a nationwide

community programme backed Since 2008, Plymouth Argyle has been

running it in the city, and says it's helped to cut crime

and anti-social behaviour The club is now taking

the idea to some of the more From Redruth, here's

Denis Nightingale. Liam has been excluded from two

schools and been in trouble I'd be getting into fights

and having trouble around the There's quite a lot of trouble

around here all the time. Redruth North used to have

a dreadful reputation for crime and Hard work by local people means life

for youngsters is much Can we have greens that

youngsters something to do I'll take one example

of an estate where crime A total of 80 girls and boys have

taken part in the sessions since last November. I have come here to

stop myself from arguing and fighting. When you play football you

can take your stress out on the ball instead of other people. Confident

that PL Kicks is a winner, Plymouth Argyle and I looking for financial

backing to spread it across Cornwall.

A centre which cares for unwanted Exmoor ponies

and saves them from slaughter says it may have to close in

The Exmoor Pony Centre is launching a public fund raising

campaign and is warning that if it has to close ponies on the moor may

If it weren't for this sanctuary, these Exmoor ponies would probably

have ended up being slaughtered for horse meat. But now the future of

this place is under threat as it struggles to make ends meet. It is

critical at the moment because of a lack of funds. We are finding

ourselves in a position where we will have two cores at the end of

the summer if we can't find the extra income. The Domesday book has

references to ponies on Exmoor at the 11th century. They have had a

chequered history, apparently almost becoming extinct in World War II

when soldiers used them for target practice. And it is the gun that

probably would have been the feed for these ponies. The leaders who

have no use for male falls often slaughtered them explore alternative

home can be found. This centre on the edge of Exmoor has been that

alternative home for around 300 ponies since it opened 11 years ago.

Here the team them and move them on new owners. I adore them. Volunteers

who support the police say they fear for the future of unwanted Exmoor

are poorly is that this place is forced to shut down. To see the

ponies from falls grow into adults and go on and have a future, it is

fantastic. There are no plans to kill these ponies, even if this

place does cause. The centre says they will be taken care of somehow.

But there will be no new intake. Survival of the next generation is

uncertain. How you would feel about running

16.64 miles every day, Well, that's what two Royal Marines

from the South West are doing as part of the 1664

Global Challenge. as the year the Royal Marines were

formed. Today was Day 1, and they

were setting off from We sent our reporter Heidi Davey

along to meet the team. The all-important team fulfil before

the challenge gets underway, but for these two corporals, today is the

start of 100 consecutive days running a very precise 16.64 miles.

Aiming to run at the right place, at a reasonable pace for endurance.

Just been resting the last week or so, trying to stay injury free. You

are feeling confident? Yes. I feel all day. I want to get Day one out

of the way. I am going to take each day at a time. I don't think that

far ahead. Every day just keep plodding along. What flew so I will

get on until the end. Although getting across to the startling was

their first hurdle. We have set off from the Mayflower steps, we are no

en route to Torpoint for the starting line. Once on dry land it

was time to start running. Left, Right, left, right. 1664, stuffing

to do with the beer, it is the Royal Marines were formed. -- it is

nothing to do with the bear. Their journey will take them across

the region over the next few days raising funds for the Royal Marines

charity. At Exeter Chiefs they will run the

match ball into the stadium on Saturday. After Sunday, they will

start heading north before hopefully ending at Buckingham Palace in

August. But tonight they will be enjoying a well earned rest.

A very well earned rest by the look of it.

Now, many artists spend years of hard work trying to make it

But for one 16-year-old from Plymouth, it's

Four months ago Izzie Anson sent this demo of herself singing

to the Radio Devon programme BBC Introducing.

Well, since then Izzie has been chosen by BBC Radio

2's Jo Whiley to play Cheltenham Jazz Festival tomorrow.

What an amazing voice. What is it about a jazz in particular that you

like? I have always loved that. Growing up listening to Nina Simone,

anyway nice, Ella Fitzgerald. Your voice sounds nicer -- your voice

sounds older than your years. How did this southern road to

stardom begin? Where did they pick up on your talents? BBC introducing

picked up on my talent at the end of last year. I sent one of my tracks

into ABC introducing and they played it on Round Table. And it got a good

response which I was not expecting. And you have already recorded out in

Nashville, how did that come about? Last year I was just putting covers

up on Facebook and YouTube, and my dad knows someone who is a producer

in national, and I didn't think he'd be interested, because I didn't

think they were very good, and he messaged me, and said that they want

to come out to National. But so that started. I went out and recorded the

songs which are on my EP. You are currently juggling all of this with

studying for GCSEs. How are you managing that workload? It is a

lots. But my family are very supportive, helping me gets to all

my gigs. It is a busy time of year for you. What do you hope to achieve

in the future? Just writing music, that is all I really want to do. And

this big opportunity tomorrow with the Cheltenham Festival, how are you

viewing ahead of that? Very nervous but really excited. I really hope it

goes well. Thank you. We look forward to hearing from you again at

the end of the programme. Thank you. And before that let us get the

weather forecast. There has been hailstorms, sleet, snow, freezing

cold, so where better to put David Dunn on the roof?

I am not coming up here again, it is freezing, but a smashing view. We

are up on the roof. A lovely view of Plymouth Sound. Good visibility

today. Visibility has been excellent because of the Arctic area, the

clean air, not just here, but all around the course of Devon we have

had good views. You can see the show workload in the

distance. There have been showers, not every where, but some have been

intense. Over high ground they have been falling as sleet, maybe even

snow. We had some sunshine and Plymouth.

The showers only turning up this afternoon. There is one behind the

camera man that looks like it'll had our way. Let us look at what is

happening the next 24-hour is. We have had some good temperatures.

Thomas has been the warmest place in the country today with 12 degrees.

Elsewhere, temperatures no more than or 9 degrees. The other thing is

just who clean the air is. These are the visibility is that we have seen

today, well over 30 kilometres for most of our locations, and that fine

clear area continues, but it also brings the risk of wintry showers.

This is Exmoor from earlier. They fear a dusting of snow. Tomorrow,

there will be more frost overnight. There will be showers. Hopefully

sunshine in between. Like we have seen today. Hopefully it will feel a

that is warmer. You can see the extent of the cloud, it is speckled

cloud, and that is the show workload that we are seeing this evening. The

area of high pressure is in the middle of the Atlantic, northerly

winds tonight and tomorrow morning. Relatively cold wind until later in

the week. Then we start to see a change to milder air. There is the

satellite picture in more detail. More to come overnight. That will

feed away in the second half of the night. Still -- overnight

temperatures close to freezing. Tomorrow a chance of a shower, and a

chance of good sunshine to enjoy. Along the course we will see the

best of the temperatures, nine, ten, even 11 or 12. Largely dry

conditions. The chance of if you passing showers.

Winds are from the north or north-west.

Can I come inside no, please? Go on, then. Thank you. And thank

you for joining all of us on Spotlight tonight.
