:00:00. > :00:00.Good evening welcome to Spotlight - tonight, the changing face
:00:00. > :00:08.As local demand far outstrips supply, there's a call to thousands
:00:09. > :00:17.of potential young workers to join a growing industry.
:00:18. > :00:25.I have been working out for six weeks, and it has been great. I have
:00:26. > :00:28.really enjoyed it. I am acttally doing proper carpentry. I thought I
:00:29. > :00:29.would just be sweeping up, but I am actually learning a trade.
:00:30. > :00:32.Also tonight - thieves smash a car into a shop front.
:00:33. > :00:34.They made off with thousands of pounds worth of goods
:00:35. > :00:37.after the raid in the early hours of this morning.
:00:38. > :00:39.And a frosty reception - the campaigners trying to think out
:00:40. > :01:06.of the box for a way to save this public service.
:01:07. > :01:11.Or should I say, would you like to be?
:01:12. > :01:14.The housing crisis in the South West appears to be deepening,
:01:15. > :01:17.with a call today for more skilled people to join the industry.
:01:18. > :01:19.A building summit in Plymouth has been hearing how carpenters,
:01:20. > :01:21.bricklayers and architects `re among the trades desperately
:01:22. > :01:24.needed if the demand for new homes is to be met.
:01:25. > :01:27.It's predicted that construction work in the wider south-2est
:01:28. > :01:29.It's predicted that construction work in the wider south-west
:01:30. > :01:33.will increase by 4.4% - the highest in England.
:01:34. > :01:36.26,000 new jobs will be cre`ted over the next four years
:01:37. > :01:39.to reach a total of 257,000, the highest it's ever been.
:01:40. > :01:42.Our Business Corrspondent C`rys Edwards has been to the building
:01:43. > :01:59.Lewis Mayes is 16 and working as an apprentice carpenter and shhvered,
:02:00. > :02:03.the new town near Plymouth, where 5000 new homes are being buhlt. It
:02:04. > :02:09.is his dream job. I'm actually doing proper c`rpentry.
:02:10. > :02:12.I thought I would just be sweeping up, getting materials for pdople I
:02:13. > :02:14.am working with, but I'm actually doing carpentry, so I'm acttally
:02:15. > :02:18.learning. But there are not enough workers
:02:19. > :02:26.like Lewis in the constructhon industry. The average age and sites
:02:27. > :02:29.is now 55. Decorator Clifford Hill, now in his 50s, says younger blood
:02:30. > :02:33.is needed. We are going to retire, so the
:02:34. > :02:37.younger generation need to keep them there were coming in, and it is
:02:38. > :02:42.really important, because if we all retire and there is nobody following
:02:43. > :02:44.us, well, it would be no go, wouldn't it?
:02:45. > :02:48.There is increasing pressurd to build more and more homes lhke here
:02:49. > :02:54.at Shefford, to help solve the housing crisis, but as houshng
:02:55. > :02:58.demand grows, so too does the skills shortage in the construction
:02:59. > :03:01.industry here in the South West Today, a building summit has been
:03:02. > :03:05.held in Plymouth to address the challenges facing the industry, and
:03:06. > :03:11.how best to attract new recruits. Along with major house-building at
:03:12. > :03:14.sure third and Cranbrook, there are road infrastructure project in
:03:15. > :03:17.Cornwall and the upcoming Hhnckly nuclear-power station. It is
:03:18. > :03:21.estimated there will be arotnd a quarter of a million jobs in the
:03:22. > :03:26.industry by 2020, 20 6000 of them knew, the highest it has evdr been.
:03:27. > :03:30.A few years ago, we have thd austerity period, and peopld left
:03:31. > :03:33.the area, they have left thd construction industry, and now we
:03:34. > :03:39.are trying to get people back into it, and that is becoming more and
:03:40. > :03:41.more difficult. We have a delivery target that we
:03:42. > :03:44.need to meet the government and local housing targets to provide,
:03:45. > :03:46.and if there are not enough people that are around to build those
:03:47. > :03:49.homes, we are delayed and ghving those homes of the communitx.
:03:50. > :03:54.We have lots of apprenticeships in our books, not apprenticeshhps, but
:03:55. > :03:57.jobs in the city. Among the solutions of this job shop
:03:58. > :03:59.to encourage recruits of all ages and well as apprenticeship schemes
:04:00. > :04:03.and higher wages for skilled workers.
:04:04. > :04:05.Now you want to tap on that stop-macro but with demand far
:04:06. > :04:10.outstripping supply, a tough challenge lies ahead.
:04:11. > :04:18.With me now is leafed Harry from the construction industry trainhng
:04:19. > :04:20.board. Why have we got such a shortage of the skills?
:04:21. > :04:25.We can see it as a shortage, but I like to see it as a huge
:04:26. > :04:27.opportunity. We have accused number of construction and infrastructure
:04:28. > :04:30.projects going on in the region and it speaks really strongly to the
:04:31. > :04:34.wealth of skills we have got in the region already. We're hoping to
:04:35. > :04:39.bring new people into the industry. One of the things that is worth
:04:40. > :04:44.making is, the 6000 or so jobs we will need every year for thd next
:04:45. > :04:48.five years, 2500 of those whll perhaps be nontraditional b`ck
:04:49. > :04:52.office jobs, including IT, project management, etc. So if therd are
:04:53. > :04:55.people out there with those skills, consider the construction industry
:04:56. > :04:58.as a future prospect. The report mentioned that a lot of
:04:59. > :05:01.people were laid off from the construction industry during the
:05:02. > :05:05.downturn. Why would anyone want to come into an industry that has those
:05:06. > :05:09.peaks and troughs in such a way It is a very good point. We have had
:05:10. > :05:14.a report just today which totalled about sustainability, what we are
:05:15. > :05:19.doing is building a much more robust industry. If you look at thd pipe
:05:20. > :05:21.line of work coming, we havd got around 38,000 houses in Cornwall to
:05:22. > :05:26.build, and we have already talked about Shefford, and the project at
:05:27. > :05:28.Hinckly is a long-term projdct. We have a long pipeline of work in the
:05:29. > :05:33.south-west, and there is no doubt that that will require investment.
:05:34. > :05:37.A massive pipeline, and it seems like a massive shortage, so where
:05:38. > :05:40.will all be people come frol to fill all these jobs?
:05:41. > :05:44.We hope it will be a combin`tion of new entrants, returners, because a
:05:45. > :05:47.lot of people, as you say, went from the industry. But there are people
:05:48. > :05:52.out there who are switching industries. We recently supported a
:05:53. > :05:57.project with South Devon College, and people from other walks of life
:05:58. > :05:59.have come across, from teaching perhaps, or the Armed Forces. So
:06:00. > :06:02.there are people out there who want to come across. One thing wd need to
:06:03. > :06:06.get across to people is that construction is a very dynalic
:06:07. > :06:10.industry, that progression routes are extraordinary. If you work hard,
:06:11. > :06:15.you can really, really get on, and it is a very innovative, modern
:06:16. > :06:16.industry. It is not all muddy boots, but we still need 500 bricklayers!
:06:17. > :06:19.Thank you Ray much for joinhng us. A ram raid took place in thd early
:06:20. > :06:22.hours of this morning as thheves drove a car into the window
:06:23. > :06:25.of a department store in Tiverton. Devon and Cornwall police h`ve
:06:26. > :06:27.launched an investigation. The raiders wearing balaclavas
:06:28. > :06:29.managed to steal thousands of pounds' worth of perfumes before
:06:30. > :06:43.fleeing the scene. It was business as usual at
:06:44. > :06:46.Banbury's this afternoon, whth the repair is well underway. But it was
:06:47. > :06:50.a very different picture here earlier in the day after a group
:06:51. > :06:58.wearing balaclavas used a c`r to ram open the doors on Gulf Stredt. The
:06:59. > :07:01.thieves made off with vast quantities of perfumes, leaving the
:07:02. > :07:04.same vehicle they used for the ram raid.
:07:05. > :07:07.To be woken at 5:30am to soleone saying you have been ram rahded
:07:08. > :07:13.that is not normal. Glass everywhere, stark, perfume
:07:14. > :07:17.everywhere. The police were there, and they have sealed it all off We
:07:18. > :07:22.weren't allowed to walk into the area because the crime scend was
:07:23. > :07:26.sealed, so, yes, absolutely horrendous.
:07:27. > :07:29.And for shoppers, it was also a distressing sight.
:07:30. > :07:32.I just can't believe it. It is like everything... Everything is
:07:33. > :07:37.changing. You don't expect ht to happen on your doorstep.
:07:38. > :07:40.Very surprised, absolutely. Yes They're often things thrown at
:07:41. > :07:44.Windows, but nothing like that. That is what I presumed it was.
:07:45. > :07:48.It is shocking, but not tot`lly surprising. It was bound to happen
:07:49. > :07:52.somewhere, sometime, becausd that's the way things are.
:07:53. > :07:55.Well, Devon and Cornwall police are appealing for any witnesses to come
:07:56. > :07:59.forward, anybody who might have seen what happened here in the e`rly
:08:00. > :08:02.hours of this morning on Gold Street, or anyone who, throtghout
:08:03. > :08:06.the day, has been offered any perfumes to buy, has found that the
:08:07. > :08:09.discarded boxes, or indeed, found any balaclavas.
:08:10. > :08:11.Healthcare services in Devon were described as being
:08:12. > :08:14.at crisis point today as MPs from across the county attacked
:08:15. > :08:23.The plans are part of the strategy to tackle a ?100 million annual
:08:24. > :08:25.overspend at Devon's largest Clinical Commissioning Group.
:08:26. > :08:27.Our Politial Editor Martyn Oates joins us now from Westminstdr where
:08:28. > :08:40.It was Annemarie Morris, thd Newton Abbott MP, who describe things as
:08:41. > :08:43.being at crisis point. She `nd other colleagues also said that a
:08:44. > :08:47.fundamental problem is that Devon does not receive enough funding to
:08:48. > :08:53.reflect the challenges of providing health care in rural areas. The West
:08:54. > :08:57.Devon MP Geoffrey Cox agreed. He is particularly concerned with the
:08:58. > :09:00.threat to key services at North Devon District Hospital, described
:09:01. > :09:04.the present level of funding is wholly inadequate. When it came to
:09:05. > :09:08.the health minister Philip Dunne to reply, he certainly conceded the
:09:09. > :09:14.level of challenge facing Ddvon I absolutely recognise that the
:09:15. > :09:19.region is facing difficultids, and NHS staff across the region are
:09:20. > :09:22.working hard to provide good care to patients, but services are not
:09:23. > :09:26.keeping pace with the changhng needs of local people and it is bdcoming
:09:27. > :09:32.increasingly difficult to m`ke sure local people have access to
:09:33. > :09:35.consistently high quality c`re that is affordable and sustainable.
:09:36. > :09:40.I am joined by these Devon LP who tabled today byes debate. It struck
:09:41. > :09:43.me that the minister had a lot to say about the problem, not so much
:09:44. > :09:47.about his potential solutions? In all fairness, he was in `
:09:48. > :09:50.difficult position, because a lot of this is out to consultation, so he
:09:51. > :09:54.could not come down on one side or the other. Positively, he dhd say
:09:55. > :09:58.that the issue was being addressed, and came up with some figurds. But
:09:59. > :10:03.we have a problem in Devon, and it was good to see so many of Devon's
:10:04. > :10:06.MPs coming together, raising similar points, and raising their own
:10:07. > :10:09.constituency points. Geoffrey Cox and others werd right
:10:10. > :10:12.to say, weren't they, that the fundamental question is fin`ncial,
:10:13. > :10:17.and while this is about showing to tackle this massive deficit, it will
:10:18. > :10:19.be a pity desperate cost-cutting process which will ultimately damage
:10:20. > :10:24.patient care? I think it is about allocathon of
:10:25. > :10:28.resources. We are where we `re. NHS England Astro next 8 billion, the
:10:29. > :10:31.government gave in 10 billion, and the Prime Minister has ruled out any
:10:32. > :10:35.more money for the NHS, so we have to make do with what we havd. But we
:10:36. > :10:38.are going through a process of change, and I think what cale out
:10:39. > :10:42.today is how united we were in wanting to see a genuine,
:10:43. > :10:46.21st-century National Health Service with a fully integrated sochal care
:10:47. > :10:49.system, and that is what we are concerned about.
:10:50. > :10:52.On the issue of you being united, you another MPs will be intdrested
:10:53. > :10:56.in venture cuts in your constituencies your neighbotring MP
:10:57. > :10:59.said you should stand together and say, we are opposing all of these
:11:00. > :11:02.cuts. We are being picked up one by one.
:11:03. > :11:05.He makes a fair point. Of course, his constituency of Tiverton is
:11:06. > :11:08.protected as far of Tiverton is protected as Pharoah the beds are
:11:09. > :11:11.concerned, but we don't want to get into a Dutch auction between
:11:12. > :11:15.different parts of Devon, as big as best we can in one voice. These
:11:16. > :11:19.community hospitals are much loved by local people, they are ststained
:11:20. > :11:22.by local people and financed by local people very often, and I
:11:23. > :11:26.believe they have a role 21st-century. What that rold is
:11:27. > :11:29.remains to be seen, but we lust get over, if you remove beds from a
:11:30. > :11:36.Community Hospital, it ceasds to have a a role.
:11:37. > :11:39.That is not true. The conversation runs for another
:11:40. > :11:41.few months. I doubt this is the last time it will be discussed in this
:11:42. > :11:43.place. Now, when did you last use ` phone
:11:44. > :11:44.box? The mobile phone has meant fewer
:11:45. > :11:46.and fewer people are using call boxes and BT has decided to pull
:11:47. > :11:49.the plug on hundreds The problem is there are sthll huge
:11:50. > :11:54.areas of the south-west with a poor mobile phone signal,
:11:55. > :11:56.and in those areas, locals and visitors are very reluctant
:11:57. > :11:58.to have the phone box removdd. Jenny Kumah has been to one such
:11:59. > :12:08.community on Dartmoor. For these walkers, payphones on
:12:09. > :12:11.Dartmoor are a necessary part of the landscape.
:12:12. > :12:15.You may well end up with a flat battery and not be able to get a
:12:16. > :12:22.signal or something like th`t, so I think having them, if only to make
:12:23. > :12:25.emergency calls, if nothing else. There are lots dotted around, some
:12:26. > :12:30.are overgrown, not maintain, and obviously, I see the other side when
:12:31. > :12:35.the telephone company want to cut costs, but I think if there is any
:12:36. > :12:38.way of funding them, then they should remain.
:12:39. > :12:45.According to BT, payphone usage has dropped 90% over the last ddcade.
:12:46. > :12:50.But it is easy to miss this payphone here at Badger's Halt on Dartmoor.
:12:51. > :12:52.Through here is another of the boxes that is threatened with closure
:12:53. > :12:57.Making our way through the foliage here. So the figures show that this
:12:58. > :13:01.has been used a couple of dozen times maybe in the past 12 lonths.
:13:02. > :13:04.Why do you think phone boxes like this one across the more nedd to be
:13:05. > :13:08.protected? This is situated in a vallex, and we
:13:09. > :13:13.have very high sides to the valley, so there is no mobile signal. This
:13:14. > :13:16.might be someone's only chance of getting emergency services here if
:13:17. > :13:20.they needed it. BT says it will not take aw`y a
:13:21. > :13:24.service in a remote location if the local authority objects. Thd company
:13:25. > :13:29.is also giving communities the chance to adopt a kiosk as `n
:13:30. > :13:36.alternative to removal. Here in Belle Stone, that idea has
:13:37. > :13:39.received a ringing endorsemdnt. A local group has raised funds to put
:13:40. > :13:41.life-saving equipment in thhs key -esque.
:13:42. > :13:45.We pre-empted the fact that BT may want to finish with it, as ht was
:13:46. > :13:50.not used at all, so we wantdd to hang onto our phone box, and make it
:13:51. > :13:54.look a bit more attractive, and used for a very good, life-saving
:13:55. > :13:57.equipment. Some good news today for thhs
:13:58. > :14:02.Dartmoor community in post-bridge. They were threatened with the loss
:14:03. > :14:08.of this phone, but BT has confirmed it will keep it. The firm h`s even
:14:09. > :14:09.been persuaded to give it a lick of paint too.
:14:10. > :14:12.Now, as phoneboxes on Dartmoor are under threat, it's prob`bly
:14:13. > :14:15.a good time to be sure you don't need to call for help -
:14:16. > :14:18.by learning the way to navigate the countryside safely.
:14:19. > :14:25.The skill of map-reading and its faithful companion, the compass
:14:26. > :14:28.Can you read a map? A little bit. Probably not `s well
:14:29. > :14:29.as I should. But thanks to GPS technologx
:14:30. > :14:32.and mobiles, does anyone re`lly use Well, map-reading and navig`tion
:14:33. > :14:37.workshops are taking place on Dartmoor from today,
:14:38. > :14:39.to coincide with Clare Woodling put the postcode
:14:40. > :14:55.in her sat nav and headed The volunteers were Dartmoor search
:14:56. > :14:58.and rescue do a year of trahning in map reading and other skills before
:14:59. > :15:03.they are safe to go out looking for lost Ramblers.
:15:04. > :15:06.There appears to be somewhat of a complacent attitude to map reading
:15:07. > :15:11.nowadays. There is a great reliance on electrical devices. In b`d
:15:12. > :15:15.weather, they become affectdd by the damp, and of course, they are
:15:16. > :15:21.battery-powered, and the batteries only last so long, and if the
:15:22. > :15:26.battery fails for whatever reason, you inadvertently drop the device in
:15:27. > :15:28.a bog, they could find themselves in danger, yes.
:15:29. > :15:33.A place like Dartmoor can bd unforgiving. As the days get
:15:34. > :15:37.shorter, the evenings come sooner and the weather closes in.
:15:38. > :15:42.Visibility can drop quickly. This group is taking part in a bdginners'
:15:43. > :15:45.map session. If you want a good finding some treasure, you can use a
:15:46. > :15:55.map. The task today is to venturd off the
:15:56. > :15:58.beaten track using a one -. : 2 ,000 map and a compass.
:15:59. > :16:01.This particular map is plastic coated, and has been through a fair
:16:02. > :16:05.few Bogdan rainstorms over the last few years, and it basically still
:16:06. > :16:09.works. There are many things you can pick up on a paper or lamin`ted map
:16:10. > :16:13.that you just can't do on a GPS so I think it gives people a sdnse of
:16:14. > :16:18.space and a sense of place, really. You can get a whole overview of the
:16:19. > :16:22.area. Lessons are taking place to coincide
:16:23. > :16:27.with National Map Reading Wdek. It is a very important life skill,
:16:28. > :16:31.and is reviving it from my childhood, long time ago. And also,
:16:32. > :16:34.it is a very lovely contrast to my daily work. It is nice to gdt out in
:16:35. > :16:38.the fresh air and have fun. So when it comes to satellite
:16:39. > :16:42.navigation, acting we rely on them too much.
:16:43. > :16:46.When it comes to phones, people will use those and lose reception, and
:16:47. > :16:49.when the weather comes down really quickly around here, if you can t
:16:50. > :16:51.back that up, you could be hn trouble.
:16:52. > :16:55.Do you know where we are on a map? Yes, I will show you here.
:16:56. > :16:59.We're just south of Princetown. And now, to dispel any myths about
:17:00. > :17:01.female map reading, and going to navigate myself and our crew back to
:17:02. > :17:13.base. Have you seen any sign of hdr since?
:17:14. > :17:17.No! I have not either! With the aid of a map, we h`ve moved
:17:18. > :17:18.across the studio, for a very good reason.
:17:19. > :17:20.Would you know what to do if someone collapsed
:17:21. > :17:24.Well, by the end of today, it's hoped more than 100,000 people
:17:25. > :17:26.will have learnt resuscitathon skills as part of
:17:27. > :17:29.The British Heart Foundation alongside the Red Cross,
:17:30. > :17:31.Ambulance Trusts and other organisations have been vishting
:17:32. > :17:33.thousands of schools to teach these valuable skills.
:17:34. > :17:35.At Stoke Damerel College, 300 students received
:17:36. > :17:42.So we've invited two of thel along with their trainers
:17:43. > :17:53.That will take their total to 302 trained.
:17:54. > :17:58.You are a first aid, you ard a head teacher, and we have Jason `nd
:17:59. > :18:03.Stella here. Will you show hs exactly what you have learnt today,
:18:04. > :18:06.because I learnt in Guides lany many years ago, and I think
:18:07. > :18:09.techniques might have changdd a little bit.
:18:10. > :18:12.OK, so put him or her on thd desk and show is what you have to do and
:18:13. > :18:15.August through it. OK, so first, you would havd to make
:18:16. > :18:19.sure that it is clear, and ht it is a safe surrounding, and then you
:18:20. > :18:24.would need to call for help and call for an ambulance. Then, to check if
:18:25. > :18:29.they are awake or not, you would have to shake them gently, not too
:18:30. > :18:33.hard so you break their necks, to shake them gently to see if they are
:18:34. > :18:40.awake. If not, you would have to do 30 compressions on the chest, and
:18:41. > :18:48.then lift their head up to open their airway, hold their noses and
:18:49. > :18:52.push their chin down, and then do two rescue breaths, and then you
:18:53. > :18:54.should keep doing that until help comes.
:18:55. > :18:58.How hard do you push? You would have to push until it
:18:59. > :19:04.comes down about five or six centimetres, and sometimes ` long
:19:05. > :19:09.will break, but that is a good sign. Is there a rhythm to it?
:19:10. > :19:13.Yes, you can do it to songs Staying Alive, and there are a few other
:19:14. > :19:19.songs as well. You won't remember that!
:19:20. > :19:21.We do, don't we! Sherry, how was that as a
:19:22. > :19:25.demonstration? Brilliant. We would check the area
:19:26. > :19:29.first were dangerous, but yds, she has done it very well.
:19:30. > :19:33.Martin, as headteacher, what is your view on everybody in schools, and
:19:34. > :19:37.this being part of the currhculum? I know there have been calls for it to
:19:38. > :19:40.be part of education. At our school, we think health is
:19:41. > :19:44.very important to young people, and learning these techniques and
:19:45. > :19:48.methods, so Stella and Jason and their colleagues today, learning to
:19:49. > :19:52.do this really important work, and we include health as part of that.
:19:53. > :19:58.We have Sherry on hand so wd will hope to train every single student
:19:59. > :20:00.at least once a year in this technique, and indeed, staff. The
:20:01. > :20:04.British Heart Foundation told is that unfortunately, the most likely
:20:05. > :20:08.person you will do this on someone you know very well, so having the
:20:09. > :20:11.girls as young people is very important, and like you mentioned
:20:12. > :20:17.learning in the Girl Guides, it stays with you for years. I have had
:20:18. > :20:21.to do an update today to make sure I knew there would know the ndw
:20:22. > :20:24.technique, because it has bden many years since I was trained.
:20:25. > :20:26.Jason, what did you think of the training today?
:20:27. > :20:30.I thought it was brilliant, you can use it to help anyone, really.
:20:31. > :20:32.What did you know about it beforehand?
:20:33. > :20:34.That you have to push down on the chest.
:20:35. > :20:38.So you knew a little bit about it, but you actually learn the skill
:20:39. > :20:42.today. Do you feel more confident? Are a lot more confident.
:20:43. > :20:44.I remember, we used to do it on a doll called Annie, and I was quite
:20:45. > :20:49.scared of that! These are all quite modern `nd new.
:20:50. > :20:56.And it is not just something that should be in education, but in work
:20:57. > :20:59.as well. We have first aid hs here at Spotlight, but maybe everyone
:21:00. > :21:01.should learn something as ilportant as this.
:21:02. > :21:06.You could save a life, so it is important to learn the skills. You
:21:07. > :21:08.never know when you'll come across something.
:21:09. > :21:12.Perhaps you could do another training session here, Sherry!
:21:13. > :21:17.That's a good idea! All the crew have to stay afterwards to learn.
:21:18. > :21:20.A great idea. Let's hope it is rolled out to more schools `nd
:21:21. > :21:23.indeed, becomes part of the actual everyday learning, so it just
:21:24. > :21:26.becomes commonplace for everyone to learn. Well done.
:21:27. > :21:33.It was an excellent demonstration. I want to know, what do you think of
:21:34. > :21:36.the programme far? Rubbish! Hankies in which are coming. We all
:21:37. > :21:38.appreciate it. Well done. -, thank you very much for coming.
:21:39. > :21:40.Well, that's one important technique for saving lives,
:21:41. > :21:42.but elsewhere in the south-west today, youngsters have been
:21:43. > :21:44.challenged to come up with technology which could
:21:45. > :21:46.save the lives of thousands of people.
:21:47. > :21:48.They has just six hours to develop their ideas
:21:49. > :21:50.and then demonstrate them at a technology fair in Exeter.
:21:51. > :21:59.John Henderson went to Sandx Park to see what they came up with.
:22:00. > :22:05.It might not look it, but this could be a life-saver.
:22:06. > :22:12.It looks quite delicate. Yes. It is a prototype.
:22:13. > :22:16.It was better this morning, but things keep falling off it.
:22:17. > :22:21.And 3D printer is on a low spec It is a water barrel, crankdd up
:22:22. > :22:23.with a solar powered motor, designed by students from Newton Abbot for
:22:24. > :22:28.places like this. It can carry up to 50 litres at a
:22:29. > :22:32.time, and it is all assisted by solar panels, so it makes c`rrying
:22:33. > :22:35.that quantity of water an awful lot easier. You can do it fast `nd using
:22:36. > :22:39.less energy. You pull on this and this whll turn
:22:40. > :22:45.the potentiometer, which will convert the data into metres.
:22:46. > :22:48.Alerting people to sudden changes in sea levels.
:22:49. > :22:52.It is like an early warning system, so you can prepare for a tstnami
:22:53. > :22:56.that is coming, or prepare for flooding or something like that
:22:57. > :23:03.A trio of 13-year-olds from Great Torrington developed the sm`rt boy.
:23:04. > :23:10.Shall we see if it floats tde yes. You have done it! It is brilliant!
:23:11. > :23:12.It works. The ideas were showcased at a tech
:23:13. > :23:16.fair. We like to believe that it hs its
:23:17. > :23:21.own little reservoir, in whhch it can store its own water.
:23:22. > :23:23.The team from Plymouth Colldge Of Arts think they are onto a winner
:23:24. > :23:28.with their water purification device.
:23:29. > :23:33.We hope to use it in countrhes such as Ecuador, Indonesia, Tanz`nia
:23:34. > :23:39.anywhere with a water probldm that also has quite a humid clim`te as
:23:40. > :23:41.well. It might be early prototypes, but some of the region's yotngsters
:23:42. > :23:51.have clear designs for the future. Some very talented and enthtsiastic
:23:52. > :23:54.youngsters, we have met tod`y, on the reports and here in the studio
:23:55. > :23:55.as well. Let's see what the weather is doing tonight. David is here with
:23:56. > :24:02.the forecast. Good evening. We have got Orton
:24:03. > :24:06.coming our way, and it is the sort of autumn many of us quite like dry
:24:07. > :24:10.but a bit cold, the risk of some mist and fog, as well as thd risk of
:24:11. > :24:15.some frost, which we have not seen much of the season. Tomorrow, mostly
:24:16. > :24:19.fine, early mist and quite chilly to start. Still the chance of ` few
:24:20. > :24:23.showers, but a lot of the d`y will be fine and dry with a lot lore in
:24:24. > :24:26.the way of sunshine. Cloud will continue to melt away as we move
:24:27. > :24:30.through the rest of this wedk. At the moment, the cloud you sde across
:24:31. > :24:34.the eastern half of Britain, that's an area of low pressure, beginning
:24:35. > :24:38.to slowly creep away from us. What replaces it is this area of high
:24:39. > :24:43.pressure, which moves right across western Britain in the next 24 hours
:24:44. > :24:47.or so. Perhaps we by the tile it gets in, but it will featurd for us,
:24:48. > :24:51.not just for tomorrow, but for Thursday and Friday. The we`ther
:24:52. > :24:55.fronts staying either side of the British Isles. A closer look at the
:24:56. > :24:59.satellite picture shows you the showers we have seen earlier today.
:25:00. > :25:02.A great rash of showers early this morning, but now isolated and quite
:25:03. > :25:08.liked. Good spells of sunshhne in between. This was earlier today
:25:09. > :25:14.with the view across to the team Valley from Holden Hill. Certainly,
:25:15. > :25:19.Orton beginning to show. Thd colours are starting to come out, the leaves
:25:20. > :25:24.beginning to show. -- autumn beginning. Its like we're wdll into
:25:25. > :25:29.the season, there were many of the trees at the moment, the le`ves are
:25:30. > :25:33.still there because we have not had low enough temperatures, and also,
:25:34. > :25:37.the winter and relatively lhght We will see the showers continte
:25:38. > :25:41.overnight, and they will be very isolated, so lengthy clear skies in
:25:42. > :25:46.between those showers, which will allow temperatures to tumbld away to
:25:47. > :25:52.quite low figures. In towns abilities, we could expect `round
:25:53. > :25:56.6-7 degrees, but in the countryside, particularly over the moors, we
:25:57. > :26:00.could see those down as low as -5 degrees. So cold and bright start
:26:01. > :26:04.the day tomorrow. Cloud will come and go, so it won't be sunshine all
:26:05. > :26:08.the way, but by the afternoon, there will be spells of sunshine `nd also
:26:09. > :26:13.a light showers. Wind is not as strong as today, mainly frol the
:26:14. > :26:18.north, and butchers a shade warmer. We have had 13 today, we max get
:26:19. > :26:21.13-14 tomorrow. Perhaps feeling a bit warmer, because the winds are
:26:22. > :26:25.not so strong. The Isles of Scilly, the cloud will come and go, patchy
:26:26. > :26:35.cloud and sunny spells about sums it up. Mainly dry. Here are yotr times
:26:36. > :26:40.of high water. Mine had at 0916 and Penzance at 07 26. For the surfers,
:26:41. > :26:46.still choppy along the north coast. The conditions are quite good the
:26:47. > :26:49.day after, so Thursday's servlets very promising. Light winds and a
:26:50. > :26:54.fairly big swell coming up the Atlantic, generated by a big area of
:26:55. > :26:57.low pressure, means the conditions on Thursday could be quite big and
:26:58. > :27:03.also clean. That is the coastal waters forecast, Northwest four
:27:04. > :27:07.occasionally five, mainly f`ir with generally good visibility. @nd the
:27:08. > :27:11.dry the rest of this week. Subtle changes in the wind direction, quite
:27:12. > :27:14.a windy day on Saturday, but we will have to watch out from Wedndsday
:27:15. > :27:16.night onwards, because therd will be more and more frost.
:27:17. > :27:18.Good evening. Thank you, David. Taunton Town and Torquay ard both
:27:19. > :27:20.in action this evening hoping to qualify for the First
:27:21. > :27:23.round of the FA Cup. Both drew at the weekend,
:27:24. > :27:25.so tonight, Taunton travel to Hemel Hempstead, with Torquay
:27:26. > :27:27.at Woking for their replays. Kick-offs are at 7.45,
:27:28. > :27:40.with coverage on BBC Radio Devon The results in our late news at
:27:41. > :27:43.10:30 p.m.. From all of us `nd Spotlight, whatever you are doing,
:27:44. > :27:48.have a good evening. Good nhght
