:04:12. > :04:18.It has become very toxic for teenagers particularly,
:04:19. > :04:23.because it pushes their buttons more so than older people.
:04:24. > :04:27.We don't have the same need to be accepted.
:04:28. > :04:28.Teenagers are growing, they are learning, they

:04:33. > :04:41.straight into that social acceptance button and it pushes it every time.
:04:42. > :04:44.Snapchat did not want to comment on the petition, but it says it has
:04:45. > :04:48.a Trust Safety Team that responds to reports and concerns.

:05:30. > :05:32.Let's talk about the impact potentially that too much social
:05:33. > :05:38.What does the research tell us so far about the potential
:05:39. > :05:42.The answer is there is very little research out there.
:05:43. > :05:45.There are probably two or three people in the country that look
:05:46. > :05:48.The focus has very much been on predatory behaviour and harm
:05:49. > :05:52.So when we talk about internet safety it is about making sure
:05:53. > :05:56.The impacts on mental health are still very poorly understood,
:05:57. > :05:59.and I think they have to be studied in a long-term way.
:06:00. > :06:02.But the genie is out of the bottle - social media is everywhere.
:06:03. > :06:04.Everyone wants to be part of social media,
:06:05. > :06:08.so how do parents manage it and not completely ban their
:06:09. > :06:13.I think, in terms of parents, I think the main thing is to start
:06:14. > :06:17.the conversations early - to have conversations that do not
:06:18. > :06:21.So I have been reading the paper and I am really worried about this,
:06:22. > :06:24.therefore I am going to be anxious about it...
:06:25. > :06:27.Just talk to them about it so they know that if issues arise
:06:28. > :06:30.What do the social media platforms and operators
:06:31. > :06:35.How much do they recognise that what they are doing
:06:36. > :06:39.can become addictive, and put this great pressure on young
:06:40. > :06:42.people to try to get as many likes or friends as possible
:06:43. > :06:48.If you were to ask me about five years ago,
:06:49. > :06:51.I would say that the social media companies aren't doing anything.
:06:52. > :06:53.I think these days they are responding to the fact
:06:54. > :06:55.that there can be negativity as well as positive experiences
:06:56. > :06:58.on social media, that it's not something you can just switch off,
:06:59. > :07:00.and if it wasn't Snapchat, it would be musical.ly,
:07:01. > :07:03.and if it wasn't msical.ly, it would be Twitter.
:07:04. > :07:05.If it wasn't Twitter it would be Instagram.
:07:06. > :07:07.All of these things have similar social aspects to them,
:07:08. > :07:10.and those social aspects are just that.
:07:11. > :07:13.It's a bit like, you know, years ago, it is like going to the pub,
:07:14. > :07:16.or I get invited to a party and someone else hasn't been invited
:07:17. > :07:19.to the party and that means I'm more popular than them.
:07:20. > :07:22.You get to the root causes and it is not about technology but
:07:23. > :07:27.Research is still at its early stages, then, on what effect it
:07:28. > :07:29.might have on mental health, but what are your
:07:30. > :07:34.If this trend continues, where youngsters increasingly have
:07:35. > :07:38.this pressure to be popular on social media platforms,
:07:39. > :07:41.further down the line, what sort of effect do you think
:07:42. > :07:45.I think it could be a major public health crisis.
:07:46. > :07:49.I think it's something we can't stick our heads in the sand and hope
:07:50. > :07:50.the platform providers are going to solve.
:07:51. > :07:53.It's something where we all have to be involved
:07:54. > :07:58.in the conversation around it and admit our own feelings.
:07:59. > :08:02.OK, Professor Andy Phippen, thank you very much indeed.
:08:03. > :08:05.There was a dramatic twist today at the inquest into the death
:08:06. > :08:07.of 23-year-old Josh Clayton, whose body was found

:19:57. > :19:58.about the downside of apps and social media, but now it is time to
:19:59. > :20:00.focus on the positive. Now, to get your creative juices
:20:01. > :20:03.flowing, Exeter has become a virtual poetry city and organisers think
:20:04. > :20:05.it's the first of its kind The idea came about after
:20:06. > :20:08.the devastating fire at the Royal Clarence Hotel
:20:09. > :20:11.at the end of last year. It's hoped the poetry project
:20:12. > :20:14.will help to capture the emotions of the tragedy and the essence
:20:15. > :20:17.of the city as a whole. Spotlight's Andrea
:20:18. > :20:20.Ormsby has the story. There's a lots of walking, stopping,
:20:21. > :20:22.thinking and walking on again with this poetry project,
:20:23. > :20:28.all with mobile phone in hand. OK, so exeter.poetrypin.info,
:20:29. > :20:34.put that in and you will see where the poem are and they are pinned
:20:35. > :20:38.around, and you can contact the poem that are already in the city
:20:39. > :20:41.or you can add your own. You push the "add poem",
:20:42. > :20:45.write your own poem, click submit and that poem then tags
:20:46. > :20:49.to where you are stood. Chris Jelly is the poet
:20:50. > :20:55.behind this project. I think people are keen
:20:56. > :20:58.to communicate in any way they can communicate,
:20:59. > :20:59.especially about the Creating a Poetry Pin creates this
:21:00. > :21:05.canvas in the city which people can then stitched their words inside,
:21:06. > :21:08.and other people can then It turns the whole of Exeter city
:21:09. > :21:14.into a virtual poetry city. I believe it is the
:21:15. > :21:18.first in the world. That is quite an
:21:19. > :21:20.extraordinary claim. We thought, well, that sounds
:21:21. > :21:22.wonderful because it mixes the creative opportunity,
:21:23. > :21:24.the professional artists, and the technology, which of course
:21:25. > :21:26.young people are just A dizzying soul
:21:27. > :21:37.is spirited away on a soot-tipped dance
:21:38. > :21:40.in gaslight play. She swept up her shroud

:21:44. > :21:51.her might as she rose But not a moment longer
:21:52. > :22:09.could she linger as history The Exeter Poetry Pin Project
:22:10. > :22:19.will run in the city centre Andrea Ormsby, BBC
:22:20. > :22:34.Spotlight, Exeter. Somebody else getting the creative
:22:35. > :22:38.juices flowing is David with the weather. A lot happening. A
:22:39. > :22:42.complicated story with the risk of snow. We have had several warnings
:22:43. > :22:47.issued. I will make it as simple as I can but it is a complicated
:22:48. > :22:52.picture. Good evening. We have cold weather, Arctic are heading our way.
:22:53. > :22:57.The transition between the males air we will have tomorrow and the Arctic
:22:58. > :23:00.are arriving then will be fraught. And it will be contradicted by a new
:23:01. > :23:05.area of low pressure developing on Thursday. Tomorrow is turning
:23:06. > :23:08.colder. Some showers around and a bit brighter as well. We should see
:23:09. > :23:13.Sunny spells developing during the cause of the afternoon. Thereafter,
:23:14. > :23:18.it starts to get very much colder. One layer of cloud approaching us
:23:19. > :23:21.this evening is bringing milder air overnight, so no worries for the
:23:22. > :23:26.temperature tonight. This conference should move southwards and by
:23:27. > :23:30.lunchtime tomorrow it is crossing the channel into northern France.
:23:31. > :23:33.That opens the door for colder air, but even colder are heading our way,
:23:34. > :23:37.developing as the weather front comes from the North Down words.
:23:38. > :23:41.This system in the middle of the Atlantic develops into an area of
:23:42. > :23:44.low pressure, and meets that colder air. That gives us a headache
:23:45. > :23:47.because we are not really sure at this stage whether that means the
:23:48. > :23:52.rain will turn readily to sleet and snow or whether it will fall as
:23:53. > :23:57.rain. There is a risk at and we continue to talk about a risk,
:23:58. > :24:01.particularly across Central part of Britain, and we will see in the
:24:02. > :24:04.south-west of England eventing where the low pressure develops, but a
:24:05. > :24:07.risk of high ground particularly through the afternoon on Thursday,
:24:08. > :24:11.of the rain turning to sleet and then snow. And it all moves away
:24:12. > :24:16.East words and we draw in the really cold air, as we move from Thursday
:24:17. > :24:21.night into Friday. Friday will be a bit of a cold day but another thing
:24:22. > :24:25.you will notice is how windy it is. A combination of low temperatures
:24:26. > :24:31.and Arctic air and guilt force winds means it will feel bitterly cold as
:24:32. > :24:34.we move to the end of the week. -- gale force winds. Temperatures lower
:24:35. > :24:38.through the day of thirsty and overnight Thursday to Friday
:24:39. > :24:41.temperatures like this, many locations getting at or below
:24:42. > :24:45.freezing, on Thursday night, and there is a risk of some snow and ice
:24:46. > :24:53.developing. There into Friday mostly over high ground. You can stay tuned
:24:54. > :24:58.to your local radio if it is causing problems. Tonight there are no real
:24:59. > :25:03.worries. A lot of cloud around producing a use bits of drizzle,
:25:04. > :25:06.today has been a great day. This is Cullerton, where we have had a lot
:25:07. > :25:10.of cloud. It has been misty and there have been spot of drizzle in
:25:11. > :25:15.the wind. Relatively quiet. The breeze is picking up and that Breeze
:25:16. > :25:22.will bring with it further outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. -- this
:25:23. > :25:27.is in Killerton. In mild night with no frost forecast and temperatures
:25:28. > :25:30.between six and eight Celsius or most of us. Let's follow the
:25:31. > :25:36.progress of the cloud rolling into night. So outbreaks of rain as I
:25:37. > :25:40.have mentioned, increasingly windy overnight. That is the picture of
:25:41. > :25:47.the weather through the night and tomorrow. A brisk, north-west wind,
:25:48. > :25:49.and temperatures between 6-8 C. We studied a tomorrow with good
:25:50. > :25:54.temperatures but gradually through the day as the cold front moves away
:25:55. > :25:57.from us, and the colder air follows, the temperatures are going to start
:25:58. > :26:02.to come down. A few showers are possible and sunny spells as well.
:26:03. > :26:06.Not a bad day. It is blustery, especially over high ground and
:26:07. > :26:10.along the north coast to Cornwall and Devon, so temperatures starting
:26:11. > :26:13.to come down through the afternoon. Down to six or seven Celsius by the
:26:14. > :26:17.end of the day, the blustery north-west wind. For the Isles of
:26:18. > :26:20.Scilly, showers billing cold in that wind. Highest temperature first
:26:21. > :26:28.thing in the morning, then the temperature continues to drop. Times
:26:29. > :26:32.of high water here. For our servers, most of the north facing beaches
:26:33. > :26:38.will be messy with those north-westerly winds. -- for
:26:39. > :26:44.surfing. The coastal waters forecast, north-westerly six or
:26:45. > :26:48.seven, showers with good visibility. Onto the outlook and what we will
:26:49. > :26:52.see as we head towards the weekend. Thursday for most of us we will see
:26:53. > :26:56.outbreak of rain. The high ground towards the end of the day on
:26:57. > :27:00.Thursday, we could see sleet and snow. A bitterly cold day on Friday
:27:01. > :27:05.with some frequent wintry showers, especially over high ground. Cold
:27:06. > :27:09.and brake on Saturday. Have a good evening.
:27:10. > :27:13.Thank you. A reminder of a story developing while we have been on air
:27:14. > :27:17.tonight. One of the main roads in Plymouth was closed for a time this
:27:18. > :27:23.afternoon after suspected World War II incendiary devices were found. As
:27:24. > :27:27.we see here, they were dug up and blown up this afternoon, but for a
:27:28. > :27:31.while businesses in the area were evacuated. That road reopened as we
:27:32. > :27:35.started Spotlight tonight, so hopefully things in that area on
:27:36. > :27:38.Tavistock Road in Plymouth are getting back to normal.
:27:39. > :27:40.Further updates if there are any in our latest news at 10:30pm, but good
:27:41. > :28:25.night from us. It's back... Let's get ready to
:28:26. > :28:28.grumble. ..with more belligerence... Can you imagine anything more
:28:29. > :28:32.diabolical? ..moaning...
