Getting high without breaking the law, but police say

:00:14.:00:15.

Sold openly on websites and high streets, the subst`nces

:00:16.:00:23.

produce a similar effect to illegal drugs, but are different enough to

:00:24.:00:25.

We'll hear about the tragic consequencds

:00:26.:00:29.

A permanent site for travellers in Devon, but so far only six

:00:30.:00:40.

applications to live there. And campaigning on the open road,

the bikers urging employers to take Police have told BBC Spotlight that

:00:44.:00:46.

at least two people have didd in Devon over the last year

:00:47.:00:51.

after taking so`called legal highs. Authorities are struggling to keep

:00:52.:00:56.

up with the growth in the market where substances are

:00:57.:00:58.

also constantly evolving. There's concern that young people

:00:59.:01:01.

in particular are being targeted. This shop in Exeter sells all sorts

:01:02.:01:04.

of smoking paraphernalia, Signs in the shop make it clear

:01:05.:01:11.

they are not to be ingested or While no law's being broken,

:01:12.:01:24.

the police are becoming increasingly concerned by the rising

:01:25.:01:27.

number of young people constming I have come across a 15 year old in

:01:28.:01:30.

a bus station, smoking legal highs That was a worrying thing

:01:31.:01:40.

and it is our job to find ott where they've got them, how they have got

:01:41.:01:48.

them and why they are using them. As well as two deaths in Devon,

:01:49.:01:52.

there have been more than 80 incidents in the last year

:01:53.:01:55.

of antisocial behaviour attributed Claims that young people ard

:01:56.:01:57.

being targeted have also All schools and colleges will

:01:58.:02:04.

be concerned about this. Actually, if they are using legal

:02:05.:02:12.

highs, we want to make sure we are supporting them, that they know

:02:13.:02:16.

about the health risks and the fact it should not affect their

:02:17.:02:23.

education ` they can come and do The manager

:02:24.:02:26.

of the shop was unavailable for an on`camera interview, but saxs his

staff takes a responsible attitude Whilst they do distribute these

leaflets across the city, the flyer He is also clear to point ott they

:02:33.:02:38.

make every effort to ensure that the people they are targeting are

:02:39.:02:45.

not under 18. While calls to overhaul leghslation

:02:46.:02:48.

continue, the police, retailers and other agencies are

:02:49.:02:51.

working together to raise awareness There have been only six

:02:52.:02:53.

applications from travellers wanting to live

:02:54.:03:03.

at a new permanent site in Devon. A million pound Government grant is

:03:04.:03:07.

being spent on setting up the facility for 5

:03:08.:03:09.

families next door to an illegal That's due to be cleared

:03:10.:03:12.

and restored to woodland once the new site is up and runnhng

:03:13.:03:22.

in the New Year. You're looking at 15 pitch Forest

:03:23.:03:33.

development, purpose`built for travellers. Specifically people who

:03:34.:03:39.

have been living at this illegal camp at Haldon. It has been up and

:03:40.:03:44.

running since 2001. Jake has been here several times and he whll not

:03:45.:03:49.

be moving when the new site opens. We don't want it built and then they

:03:50.:03:55.

asked if we wanted it, we dhdn't. We happily bought this existing bit of

:03:56.:04:00.

land, but in the water and electricity, toilets, showers, next

:04:01.:04:09.

door is nothing of what we want The new site has several parts that will

:04:10.:04:14.

be divided into two offering toilets and storage facilities. There is

:04:15.:04:20.

also a community hub. The btdget? ?1.2 million. Some will be tsed to

:04:21.:04:25.

return the old camp to woodland If people like Jake and Keane, who is?

:04:26.:04:30.

Especially if they have to pay rent and council tax. Moving frol a

:04:31.:04:36.

woodland lifestyle to this sort of lifestyle is a big change. But with

:04:37.:04:42.

only 15 pitches and 12 exprdssions of interest, we're not far off

:04:43.:04:47.

achieving the 15. And that hs to a few months before completion. Of the

:04:48.:04:53.

12, we understand only six have applied with four coming from the

:04:54.:04:57.

illegal sites. Given that could be anything from 30 to 40 separate

:04:58.:05:01.

families at the site, some people living nearby are worried about what

:05:02.:05:06.

happens. I always thought it was the wrong location. You cannot build a

:05:07.:05:12.

house there, night `` neithdr can I. But it does accommodate ` number

:05:13.:05:16.

of the people. It does put ` ticking the box saying have provided sites.

:05:17.:05:23.

Some people are in favour, ly concern

:05:24.:07:40.

to see why walking along thd path kindly overweight attainment would

:07:41.:07:45.

be an exciting prospect. I `m in Dawlish Warren, and that usdd to be

:07:46.:07:51.

a possibility, but that camd to an end. We can all remember seding the

:07:52.:08:03.

pictures, the ballast being removed and leaving the line suspended. That

:08:04.:08:11.

is now a distant memory. Ap`rt from one piece of the jigsaw that still

:08:12.:08:15.

has to go into place. The people of Dawlish saw this

:08:16.:08:21.

arriving on the beach. This marks the beginning of the final bit of

:08:22.:08:25.

work to replace the sea wall and the path. It is the arrival of ` huge

:08:26.:08:30.

barge on the beach, another is on its way. These barges will be the

:08:31.:08:36.

home for an Orange army of people who will be working on the new Sea

:08:37.:08:42.

Wall. There has been controversy over this section as it will be the

:08:43.:08:47.

same height along the whole length. Some residents say this will invade

:08:48.:08:53.

their privacy. But walkers say they are delighted that the path will be

:08:54.:09:00.

open to all. It will be much better. It is quite spectacular. Whdn the

:09:01.:09:08.

path opens, will get people in Dawlish that can walk right along

:09:09.:09:19.

the sea wall. Even leaders with `` ladies with walkers could w`lk all

:09:20.:09:26.

the way along. The footpath is great. Lots of people coming and

:09:27.:09:29.

going and it creates a lot of business. On an evening likd to

:09:30.:09:38.

night, you can see the sea hs looking benign and beautiful.

:09:39.:09:43.

Network Rail say they have put an additional wall so the coastline

:09:44.:09:48.

should be fully protected. Work will carry on until early next ydar and

One of the hidden problems associated with mental illndss has

:10:07.:10:09.

been revealed in new figures ` it's the number of youngsters

:10:10.:10:11.

A charity has found that more than three quarters of children

:10:12.:10:15.

in the South West with ment`l health problems have seen

:10:16.:10:17.

As John Danks reports, they may have avoided school or

:10:18.:10:21.

college for fear of what wotld have been said about them.

:10:22.:10:23.

Chelsea McCabe suffered from anxiety and depression

:10:24.:10:25.

She lost her father when she was ten.

:10:26.:10:29.

By the time she was 16 and doing her GCSEs, she suffered

:10:30.:10:32.

At first, friends are supportive, they say "It will sort itself out."

:10:33.:10:41.

You start to feel like an old record when you keep going on and on

:10:42.:10:45.

and your friends say, "Can you get over it now?"

:10:46.:10:47.

You are so caught up in your own emotions and misery that yot can't.

:10:48.:10:55.

In the South West, 80% of young people with mental health problems

:10:56.:10:59.

One in four students did not go to school,

:11:00.:11:05.

college or university because they were worried what people wotld say.

:11:06.:11:08.

15% said they had experiencdd bullying as a result

:11:09.:11:11.

We are doing work across thd country in schools to engage pupils to run

:11:12.:11:16.

Having a more open environmdnt and people joining the campaign.

:11:17.:11:26.

If the school and all young people are saxing that

:11:27.:11:28.

they are standing up to stigma, we hope that it will make it a

:11:29.:11:32.

nicer environment for young people to come forward and seek help.

:11:33.:11:34.

The campaign is run by the charity's Mind and Rethink Mental Illness

:11:35.:11:37.

They found that pupils were missing weeks and months at a time `

:11:38.:11:40.

the prospect of further education was too much to bear.

:11:41.:11:44.

I was convinced the same thing would happen again.

:11:45.:11:49.

I didn't want to go through the ordeal of making new frhends or

:11:50.:11:52.

losing old friends or something happening again.

:11:53.:11:53.

I'm quite happy with how my life has turned out, going straight hnto

By 2040, if we do nothing, they will have gone. They have adapted since

a weather forecaster. Lots of good news. You don't have to do luch as

:23:15.:23:16.

not much is going on. The high pressure has stuck. It is

:23:17.:23:27.

unusual for its to be around for so long. Make the most of it. Ht will

:23:28.:23:33.

change. First of all, thank you for all of the photographs of the moon

:23:34.:23:40.

last night. If you want to send us pictures of the moon or any other

:23:41.:23:41.

weather pictures, the e`mail is .. Less regrets in detail. This hardly

:23:42.:23:58.

changing at all. It is a good day to get your washing dry, there is a

:23:59.:24:01.

breeze and the sunshine is warm But it's more cloudy tomorrow, that is

:24:02.:24:07.

the only real change. A bit cooler, but hardly any change. The reason it

:24:08.:24:14.

has stuck is because there hs a vigorous area of low pressure off

:24:15.:24:17.

the coast of Portugal. The weather has been pretty awful here, the low

:24:18.:24:23.

pressure is here, to the North of that is the high pressure and this

:24:24.:24:27.

area of high pressure is sttbborn. It wants to be around for the rest

of the week. It slowly drifts northwards, but that will not change

our weather pattern. We easterly winds that have been pretty lively.

wind right through until thd weekend. The detail, tonight, the

cloud that has been bubbling up and fade away overnight. More cloud that

:24:57.:25:00.

we are looking at, but that is a long way away. Overnight tonight,

:25:01.:25:06.

clear skies, turning misty `nd chilly. Inland temperatures away

:25:07.:25:09.

from villages and towns, th`t could get down to seven Celsius. Some mist

:25:10.:25:15.

forming in places, a bit more of a breeze to stir the air. It will not

:25:16.:25:19.

linger first thing tomorrow, I do not think. Temperatures starting at

:25:20.:25:24.

11 or 12 Celsius. Tomorrow, the sunshine will stay with us hn the

:25:25.:25:28.

morning, more cloud creeps hn from the East as the day wears on. That

cloud will spoil the sunshine from time to time. Perhaps the

temperatures at degree down on what we have seen so far this wedk. We

:25:37.:25:41.

have had 21 Celsius, properly not higher than 19 tomorrow. Along the

:25:42.:25:48.

coastline, here with a keen easterly wind, it will feel cooler at 17 or

:25:49.:25:55.

18 Celsius. Pretty good for September. This is the forecast for

:25:56.:25:58.

the Isles of Scilly. A bit lore cloud later in the day. Not as windy

:25:59.:26:03.

as today. The breeze is an dasterly one and it is quite keen. Onto the

:26:04.:26:10.

forecast, here are the high water times.

Some pretty high tides at the moment, because of the full moon,
