Good evening. for the news where you are. | :00:12. | :00:12. | |
Child protection experts are calling for more research | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
into the psychological impact of social media on young people. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
It comes as a father from west Cornwall launches a petition calling | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
for an end to what he calls "torture" from a feature | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
millions of us of all ages are constantly | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
checking our social media, getting what experts say | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
is like a feel-good hit of dopamine to our brains each time | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
and one dad from Cornwall is taking a stand. | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
Streaks have become mini relationships in kids' eyes, | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
with all the ups and downs, and to lose one | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
He's launched a petition about what he calls a dangerously | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
addictive feature called "streaks" on a social media app | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
called Snapchat, which he says is making his teenager withdrawn. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
Snapchat sends photos and videos to friends that disappear | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
Streaks measure daily contact with friends. | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
It has become very toxic for teenagers particularly, | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
because it pushes their buttons more so than older people. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
We don't have the same need to be accepted. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Teenagers are growing, they're learning, they're | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
learning how to be accepted socially and this has just managed to get | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
straight into that social acceptance button and it pushes it every time. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
Snapchat did not want to comment on the petition, but it says it has | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
a Trust Safety Team that responds to reports and concerns. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Experts say there is an increase year-on-year of young people | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
reporting issues with all social media. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
In the most extreme cases, constant exposure online and | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
young people feeling that pressure to be online constantly can cause | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
In the most worrying cases, we're hearing from children | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
who really talk to us about feeling suicidal as a result | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
of seeing things, and that constant pressure online. | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
Johnnie is just hoping that his petition helps raise | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
awareness of what's a much wider issue. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
There was a dramatic twist today at the inquest into the death | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
of 23-year-old Josh Clayton, whose body was found | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
The jury heard apparently new evidence from one | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
of the witnesses and were then sent home early, for legal teams | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Lucie Fisher was at Plymouth Coroner's Court. | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
Leroy Thomas, arriving at court this morning to give evidence. | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
He was working as a painter and decorator on the island | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
at the time of Josh's disappearance, and along with other locals, | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
went to the party where Josh was last seen alive. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
He'd been involved in an altercation there. | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
In front of the jury today, he made a number | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
He said he saw someone he believes to be Josh outside of the party, | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
having an argument with two or three Polish or Hungarian workers. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
He said he heard him ranting and raving that he had had enough | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
and that he was going to kill himself. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Leroy then said that he left at 2:30am to 3am in the morning, | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
but on the way back had an intuition that something was not | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
right, and he went back to check on the young lad | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
He then said that he could not find him. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
Josh's disappearance sparked a ten-day search, | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
the largest ever seen on the islands. | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
There were no signs of injury, no signs of drowning. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
There were no traces of drugs in his system. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
He had consumed alcohol equivalent to two and a half | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
times the legal driving limit, and a bloodstained shirt | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
he was wearing had not been analysed as it was not being treated | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
Residents and businesses on the Lizard will be returning | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
to court later this month to oppose the re-opening of Dean Quarry. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
They say proposals for the quarry have already seen some | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
holiday-makers cancel plans, and some business | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
The owners have told us they have nothing to add at this time. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
The reopening plans were discussed in Parliament tonight - | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
St Ives MP Derek Thomas said there were many concerns from local | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Like me, they have genuine concern about what the reopening | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
and expanding of the quarry will do to the area. | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
They are concerned about the impact on the Manacles | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
the impact on the environment, including air and noise pollution, | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
the impact on local food production, the impact on local fishing, | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
the impact on tourism and future investment, and the impact | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
One of the main routes into Plymouth was closed this afternoon | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
after suspected World War Two incendiary devices were | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
Buildings were evacuated and the main Tavistock Road sealed off | :04:57. | :05:09. | |
before the devices were safely blown up. | :05:10. | :05:10. | |
Several hours of disruption for drivers came to an end like a shot. | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
The Royal Navy's explosive ordnance disposal team had been brought in | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
The eight white-phosphorous grenades had been dug up in | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
a deep, muddy trench in the central reservation of | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Devon Cornwall Police said they used the internet to research | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
how the grenades may have been left there in World War II. | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
What we think, of course, is the fact that during the very | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
chaotic period they would have been left there and probably | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
just forgotten about, and then got buried to be hidden | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
They have gone and buried more material and they've just | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
been left there until, of course, the local | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
A 100m cordon was set up and local businesses were evacuated. | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
It caused congestion, with motorists on the way | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
towards the hospital, having to reroute. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
Unfortunately for us, Derriford continued to function, | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
Of course, that's the main route for ambulances getting | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
in and out of the hospital, and for people that need | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
to get into the hospital, so we were really very concerned | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
about how we'd keep people safe to have access in Derriford. | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
The discovery was made by roadworkers digging up the A386 | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
as part of 15 months of ongoing improvement works that | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
The road was reopened around 6:30pm this evening and traffic | :06:24. | :06:28. | |

A dinner lady from South Devon is about to go head-to-head with six | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
others in the hope of being crowned the best School Chef | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Catherine Deane cooks each day for children | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
at Yealmpton Primary School, and has enlisted the help of some | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
John Ayres has been to see her in action. | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
A lot has been made in recent years about the importance of school food. | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
Nutritious and healthy meals help children to concentrate, | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
and hopefully they will lead healthier lives in the future. | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
So school chefs like Catherine Deane are putting | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
She is through to the regional final and is hoping to go all the way. | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
I'm making a fish Thai green curry, with cauliflower rice, a potato | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
It's an unusual taste but they think it's rice with a funny taste, | :07:15. | :07:26. | |
because it does resemble very much like rice. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Normally she cooks for 130 children each day, but the competition means | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
she has to make a main meal and dessert for 11-year-olds | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
in 90 minutes, and it must cost less than ?1.30. | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
That's the typical budget for a school dinner. | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
But in reality, forget the judges, it's the pupils who really count. | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
Cooking doesn't get tougher than this. | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
It had a really mild sort of warmth to it, | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
and it was nice because it wasn't to spicy. | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
And then the pudding was really nice because it sort of, | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
kind of, cooled it down, and it also had this nice | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
and it went really nicely with the spiced biscuit. | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
The curry is really nice because it's quite warm. | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
It's quite spicy, but the flatbread cooled it down a bit, | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
and the textures went well together and all the tastes | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Catherine has put this meal together for the competition, | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
She really works hard on behalf of all of the children, | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
cooking healthy meals and giving a variety of choice. | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
She's always coming up with great ideas how we can celebrate different | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
The regional final takes place tomorrow, with the winner competing | :08:46. | :08:49. | |

Now let's take a look at the weather. | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
Could it be turning more wintry, David? | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
It is. Yes. Good evening. We used the word sleet and snow for the | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
first time today and there is a good chance of that. Mostly cloud around | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
for the next few days, but later on Thursday night into Friday there is | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
the chance for snow showers and we have not seen many this winter so | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
far. One weather front moving through us this morning tomorrow and | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
away, a lot of cloud in the second half of tomorrow. A good view of the | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
moon tonight but then later cloud. The cloud through the morning, and a | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
strong north-west wind. Through the gate gradually it will feel colder | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
as colder air seeps in, and in blustery winds, some brief break | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
spells and scattered showers. Thursday is the day we watch | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
low-pressure developed through the English Channel, and that has | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
potential for wet and windy weather. As it moves away, there is a chance | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
of some of the rain turning to sleet and over high ground turning quickly | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
into snow. That is the worrying for us for later on Thursday and | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
overnight Thursday into Friday, the risk of snow and ice, but proved | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
predominantly of the high ground. By they can we get to Friday, a strong | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
and cold northerly wind. It will bring the produce down. There is a | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
risk of snow showers associated with that, some fine weather but not | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
warm. Temperatures on Friday up to three or four Celsius. With wind | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
chill it will feel colder than that. On Saturday it is a bit quieter and | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
there may be brightness but we wake up first thing on Saturday morning | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
to widespread frost. That's all the news | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
and weather from us tonight - lots more online of course - | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
and we'll be back in the morning of the week, and to start the | :10:46. | :11:06. | |
weekend as well. For more on that snow situation, over to Jay Wynne | :11:07. | :11:07. |
