Thank you Jane.

On Spotlight tonight an anxious wait continues for expectant mothers as talks take place over maternity services in North Devon.
3
But a date to reopen wasn't decided today as the Trust works towards a solution.
4
Also this evening it's full steam ahead though for a renewal of mining at Hemmerdon.
5
After securing a £71 million government grant, they're on track to be back in full production by the first quarter of next year.
6
He's a legend of the lakes.
7
A North Devon man conquers ten Swiss lakes to raise awareness of his son's condition.
8
And it's been a record breeding season for the Cornish chuff and I'm at a spot in West Cornwall,
9
one of the best places to see the famous blackbird with its red bill and legs.
10
Pregnant women in North Devon are still in limbo tonight about where they will give birth.
11
The Royal Devon NHS Trust says it still can't confirm when birthing services will resume at the hospital in Barnstable
12
after they were suspended on the 11th of August, leaving women facing long journeys to have their babies.
13
Following a meeting today, the Trust says it's still cautiously optimistic that services will resume at the hospital
14
at the end of September.
15
Claire Woodling has the details.
16
As the NHS Trust board met today, we waited for news.
17
And waited, and waited.
18
We didn't know how it would come or what it would be, not unlike the expectant mums of North Devon.
19
Then at 2.39pm, the Trust announced there was still no concrete date for reopening services in Barnstable.
20
I'm feeling really optimistic about the end of September as our proposed opening date for the service.
21
We have got the temporary and permanent staff in place today to be assured around that.
22
We have some further checks
23
and balances to agree as a team next week at our
24
board meeting where we will be giving final confirmation of what that reopening plan looks like. For now,
25
mums in labour will have the concern of the long drive to Exeter to add to the unknowns of
26
when it will happen and how it will go.
27
It's a vital service.
28
These are women giving birth to babies.
29
Even low-risk pregnancies can change.
30
And it's not acceptable that women are expected to travel 55 miles
31
or so with a two-hour journey before you even consider congestion, roadworks, accidents.
32
Roads haven't been stress-tested properly over a period of time.
33
And women are worried, they're frightened, and they're wanting answers and solutions.
34
Jenny Henderson lives on Exmoor and had baby Phoenix in Exeter.
35
She had intended to have an induction, but her waters broke spontaneously, so they just went straight away.
36
And it's a good job that we decided to go early because, yeah, had we have waited for contractions to start,
37
which is kind of the norm for most deliveries, yeah, we probably would have had him in the car park.
38
You know, they should never have to choose between something that's close and something that's safe.
39
You know, by rights, everyone deserves both.
40
As of today, 51 women have given birth in the Exeter site who would have given birth in North Devon.
41
We've not had any safety incidents that we need to share.
42
We've had no women or birthing people give birth before arrival.
43
And we do see that in normal times because of the rurality of where we work and live.
44
I have to say I'm quietly pessimistic
45
that these changes are going to come in the timely sense
46
that they are insinuating because it seems to be we're getting the same messages over
47
and over again and dodging dates and sufficient reopening timescales.
48
For now, like so much of pregnancy then, it's watch and wait.
49

next tonight
51
and a huge tungsten mine on the edge of dartmoor with
52
one of the largest deposits of the critical mineral in the
53
world is just weeks away from production after a 71 million
54
pound government investment tungsten west secured the backing from the uk
55
national wealth fund for its operation at hemmerden near plymouth yesterday the project should create 350 direct jobs
56
and more than 2 000 supported roles when it's in full operation our business reporter scott bingham has more
57
This huge hole in the ground at Hemmerden has lain largely untouched for the past eight years or so, since the last operator, Wolf Minerals, went bust.
58
The new operator, Tungsten West, has been slowly working towards reopening the mine since then,
59
and now the government has stepped in with up to £71 million to back the project, they're pretty much ready to go.
60
It literally is a perfect storm for us at the moment.
61
The world of tungsten is massively different to what it was in 2018, where the price was around US$300 a metric ton unit for tungsten.
62
We're now seeing a market where it's US$3,000 a metric ton unit.
63
So very fundamental difference outside the project, but most importantly for us, we've done everything we can to make the project much more robust within our control.
64
They've learned lessons from mistakes made in the past.
65
They're building new crushing plants and changing major parts of the process.
66
But it's been a long road to get here.
67
Tungsten West has been constantly battling to secure the funding to keep going.
68
Now the government has finally come forward with support, but I asked the Minister why it took so long.
69
We hear politicians over a long period of time promising re-industrialisation.
70
I think one of the things that's changed is we're putting our money where our mouth is.
71
So this £71 million investment brings it up to a total of,
72
I think just short of £350 million into critical minerals and associated industries.
73
It's fantastic.
74
It's come at the exact right time for the project
75
and also very important to us is it shows an incredibly
76
strong level of support right up to number 10 in the UK government.
77
So we're incredibly pleased to have the National Wealth Fund as a long-term equity partner for the project.
78
150 staff are already working at the site.
79
That will rise to 350 once they're in full production by the end of the first quarter of next year.
80
Each of these gigantic tipper trucks costs around a million pounds, so it's easy to see where the money goes,
81
and the company is currently looking to recruit people to learn to drive them.
82
Tungsten is widely used in the aerospace and defence industries, but 80% of the world's demand is currently met by China.
83
This mine will make the UK a major player, boosting both the nation's security and economy.
84
Scoppingham, BBC Spotlight, Hemmerden.
85
A basic skills programme for young people in Devon is to close after losing its funding.
86
Young Devon runs courses for those not in employment, education or training.
87
The charity says over the last decade it's helped more than
88
a thousand 16 to 25 year olds turn their lives around
89
and it has more than a hundred young people on its waiting list.
90
Janine Janssen has been to meet some of those who've used the service in Exeter.
91
Imogen went to college at 16 but it didn't work out.
92
She suffered with FND and non-epileptic seizures.
93
As a last resort she came here to Young Devon.
94
I was so low, I didn't leave my room, I didn't really speak to anyone and then
95
when I came here for the interview I didn't speak to the person interviewing me at all, I just stared at a wall, my dad had to speak for me and then when I left I just,
96
I gained so much confidence that now I feel like a completely different person.
97
And now she's doing so well at college, yeah she's been incredible, the journey she's been on without young Devon,
98
I'd hate to think how she'd be now.
99
She's really on a very good track now
100
and young Devon I think has been absolutely at the core of that journey and helping us as a family.
101
Three years on, she's now at Exeter College doing health and social care.
102
The chief executive says they help around 200 youngsters a year, but funding ends this September.
103
There are already more than a hundred on the waiting list.
104
Young people come to us often they've not been in school for two or three years, they don't have maths or English
105
and in a period of two lots of 12-week courses the
106
team get them from not knowing where they're going to getting into college, getting into work and we have a 95% success rate in doing that.
107
19 year old Jack loves wildlife and photography
108
but college didn't work out for him and he was at a dead end
109
so i came here because at the time i was just doing some volunteering work
110
so like i wasn't in any form of like mainstream education
111
or like job so it was just something extra to do
112
then i did the work-based learning course and then from then there was a um day out doing tree planting.
113
Staff here say the work they do is life-changing.
114
So it is genuinely amazing like I yeah I think like for example Jack on the course
115
if I can use a specific example he did our courses
116
and he's gone into a traineeship with the Wildlife Trust
117
and just we've supported him in both and just like the growth
118
and his confidence and he's found what he wants to do
119
and that's really invaluable isn't it to support people to find what they want to do and they're passionate about.
120
It is very life-changing because my life has changed for the better
121
because of this work-based learning course so you know without doing
122
that you know because our access like a stepping stone for people.
123
17 year old Michael found college overwhelming he says here it's more one-to-one.
124
It helped me a lot like my confidence I'm getting the bus now
125
which which is a massive improvement because I wouldn't do that before.
126
And then I'm just socialising more with people, I'm talking more, I'm being myself more, which is just massive.
127
Because when I was younger, I'd just, I'd mask.
128
I wouldn't show who I really was because I was scared of being criticised because of that.
129
But here, I can just be myself and be happy, really.
130
He's now doing creative media at college.
131
But staff say losing funding for these courses is desperately sad.
132
There just isn't provision out there that I can see.
133
There's not lots of other things that people can access.
134
So when I ring people on the referral sheet, they are sometimes like, people have said that to me, you're our last hope.
135
Latest figures show more than a million young people between 16 and 24 are not in education, employment or training.
136
Young Devon says youngsters need a stepping stone and this one is about to disappear.
137
Janine Janssen, BBC Spotlight, Exeter.
138
Well, Western College in Somerset, which subcontracted the courses and funding as part of its outreach work,
139
told Spotlight the change followed a strategic review of learner demand and funding priorities
140
and that the decision hasn't been made because of any concerns regarding performance, quality or impact.
141
Now a major new research project led by researchers from the universities of Exeter
142
and Bristol is seeking to improve understanding of heavy periods and their impact on women's daily lives.
143
The study will follow participants on a daily tracking app and will monitor energy levels, sleep, mood and overall well-being.
144
By gathering samples from thousands of women scientists hope to find ways to help women who suffer every month.
145
Matthew Hill reports.
146
horrific.
147
I'm in pain every day.
148
For Marie, heavy periods have been a part of life since she was a teenager.
149
I'm currently not on any pain management because I have so many other conditions going on.
150
And I'm looking at getting a uterus-only hysterectomy so that I can come off of contraception.
151
Now she's supporting a major new study she hopes could help other women get answers faster.
152
Heavy menstrual bleeding affects up to half of women worldwide.
153
For some, it can mean periods lasting more than a week, needing to change protection every couple of hours,
154
passing large blood clots and suffering exhaustion caused by iron deficiency.
155
But despite affecting millions, researchers say menstrual health remains poorly understood.
156
At the Universities of Bristol and Exeter, scientists are launching what's expected to become the world's largest biobank of menstrual fluid samples.
157
from women in their mid-30s.
158
Thousands of volunteers will track symptoms, sleep, mood, energy levels and well-being through an app and questionnaires.
159
They'll also provide menstrual fluid samples using specially designed sanitary pads.
160
So when this area in the middle is full, they can just remove this, they can dispose of that like they would any other type of pad,
161
and then they just take this sample and then stick it in this box.
162
The samples will be linked to health and genetic information already collected through long-running studies, including children of the 90s.
163
Researchers hope that combination of biological samples and real-time health data will reveal new clues about what's happening inside the body.
164
So we're looking at menstrual fluid, comparing people with heavy menstrual bleeding, for example, to people who don't have heavy menstrual bleeding.
165
And then any signature that we see there might tell us something about what's causing that symptom.
166
The hope is that identifying biological markers in menstrual fluid could eventually lead to earlier diagnosis,
167
more personalised treatments and better support for women living with heavy periods.
168
They're the professionals, they're the scientists, but anything can help, whether you just give, like, if you've got some what's known as spotting, so literally just a spot of blood,
169
versus having an extremely heavy period.
170
At this stage it's only women from the children of the 90s and born in Bradford who'll take part.
171
But once the biobank's established, it's hoped more volunteers can also take part to help shed light on an area that so far has been mainly ignored.
172
Matthew Hill, BBC Spotlight.
173
Welcome, if you're just joining us this evening.
174
After watching us here on Spotlight, there's plenty more to read online of course and volunteers are stepping up wildlife patrols in Dorchester.
175
Ducks have been attacked with catapults on the River Froome.
176
Police received clear footage of young people believed to be involved.
177
Tim Beers on a mission to reinstate cast iron boundary posts used in the 1900s.
178
The Somerset Road sign enthusiast is crowdfunding to restore them.
179
He says we can't afford to lose our historical items.
180
And speaking of signs, new ones at Jersey Airport, they're designed to celebrate Jersey's unique identity.
181
They're including a greeting in Gerier, the traditional language of the Jersey people.
182
And for all of those stories, for more of that and plenty of other things, check out the BBC News app.
183
Sport Now
184
and Plymouth Argyle are out of League Cup at the second
185
round stage following a defeat at the hands of Premier League newcomers Coventry City.
186
Argyle found themselves 2-0 down inside the opening five minutes but fought back to level the game at 2-2.
187
But Frank Lampard's side showed their quality to score two more to come out comfortable for two winners.
188
but manager Tom Cleverley says there were still plenty of positives.
189
This is what you want from these cup ties that leading into Saturday I've got headaches.
190
Leading into Saturday, you know, a lot of players made my picking the team decisions tough this evening which is a healthy place to be.
191
So yeah, we've lost the game tonight which we never want to do
192
but I think we're in a better place for it.
193
Now to a legend of the lakes, a title of father of three from North Devon has just
194
earned himself after becoming the first person to swim 10 of the largest lakes in Switzerland.
195
Neil Gilson has spent more than 100 hours in the water and covered a total distance of 237 miles.
196
He's done it all to raise awareness of a cause very close to his heart.
197
He started the challenge in June last year and today he finally completed it with a 45-mile swim across Lake Geneva.
198
We'll be hearing from Neil in just a moment, but first let's take a look at what he's achieved.
199
I'm learning that these lakes have each got their own sort of character, so each one is different.
200
Every time I do one of these, I'm like, why?
201
Why am I doing this?
202
When things get hard, I always go back to that time when it was really difficult for Jack, and I think to myself, I'm in this lake by my choice.
203
That's like an inspiration to me.
204
First of all, congratulations.
205
How are you feeling?
206
First of all, relieved that it's all done, because that was the big one.
207
And secondly, really proud that I've managed to get it done.
208
You're doing this for a very special reason.
209
Just remind our viewers why you've done it.
210
Yeah, so I'm doing this for a charity that supports my son.
211
When he was three years old, he developed a condition called Pans Pandas.
212
And he developed the pandas side of it that affects a part of the brain.
213
And it's not a rare condition, it's rarely diagnosed.
214
So my aim of this challenge is to raise awareness and hopefully open people's eyes to it.
215
I bet Jack is super proud of his dad, isn't he?
216
Yeah, yeah, he is really proud.
217
It was lovely at the finish today because Jack and my daughter Lily got in and swam the last 200 metres,
218
so it really rounded everything off and I teared up in my goggles when I saw them waiting for me.
219
Oh, how lovely.
220
So listen, when you're doing a challenge of this magnitude, what goes through your mind when you're in the water and what keeps you going?
221
It was really tough today, actually.
222
Well, today and yesterday, because it was a 22-hour swim.
223
I just had a really tough night of current.
224
So it was 10 hours in darkness with current head on.
225
And what got me through was knowing that my family and friends were at the end waiting for me.
226
We've actually got 25 of us out here supporting me.
227
So having that moment to finish the challenge was what kept me going really.
228
Was there ever a stage where you thought, I can't do this?
229
Yes, yeah, definitely.
230
I think if they weren't there, I probably, I was very close to quitting.
231
I was in so much pain and I actually got tired to a point where I fell asleep.
232
And then my core body temperature dropped and I got cold.
233
So I think if I didn't have that moment at the end to drive me on, there's a potential that I might have stopped.
234
Gosh, I mean, you say you've got 25 people out there supporting you, but do you have a support team in the water as well?
235
You must do.
236
Yeah, yeah.
237
So we've got three guys on the boat, and that's whose families are out here, and obviously my family, because they've supported me throughout the challenge.
238
So we thought it'd be nice for this last one to all come together and enjoy it as a team.
239
Oh, it's a massive achievement, Neil.
240
Thank you so much for talking to us.
241
It's probably the last thing you felt like doing today.
242
What is it you feel like doing now?
243
What is the first thing you're going to do?
244
Definitely have a sleep.
245
And then hopefully, at the moment I can't really stomach any food just
246
because your diet when you're swimming is just all over the place.
247
So hopefully I can get some food down later.
248
We'll see.
249
Well done.
250
Thank you so much for taking the time out to talk to us.
251
Enjoy the rest of the time with your family and congratulations again.
252
Thank you so much for having me.
253
Incredible.
254
Now it's been a great year for fans of The Chuff.
255
A record number of the famous black bird with its dainty curved red bill
256
and striking red feet have fledged on Cornwall's coastline.
257
It's a far cry from the 70s
258
when the bird died out in the county and from 25 years ago when just three returned.
259
Well, Tamsin Melville has been chuff spotting near Xenna.
260
Gurnard's Head in West Cornwall, a prime chuff spotting location and it doesn't take us long today.
261
Great that they just popped up at the right time, as if we'd booked them.
262
In fact, it's been a record breeding season for the Cornish chuff.
263
As well as that cliff over there, we've got Gurnard's Head here.
264
All really good habitat for chuff feeding.
265
It's got short, sward grassland.
266
The dung from the livestock allows the chuff to come down and feed in the soil for invertebrates.
267
It's not just here that's seen chuffs go from strength to strength, it's also the lizard, the roseland and increasing numbers in mid and north Cornwall.
268
So there are three chuffs at the moment down there on the cliff face
269
and one of them we think is a fledgling
270
and that's one fledgling of 161 young chufflets that have fledged from nests around the Cornish coastline this summer.
271
They were extinct from Cornwall until 2001 when three came back from Ireland, they returned to Cornwall.
272
Passersby enjoy the history and the success 25 years on,
273
getting a glimpse of the chuff with its acrobatic displays and distinctive red bill and legs, and it's often heard before it's seen.
274
says it's down to good nesting sites, good land management and volunteers protecting the nests.
275
And that protection has continued for the last 25 years.
276
We've still got an absolutely passionate network of volunteers that look after them to this day,
277
that look after them, protect their sites and report on their numbers.
278
Cornwall's national bird is much loved and the fact it's thriving a source of pride.
279
It's just so good to actually have a positive conservation story these days.
280
Normally when I'm talking about birds, it's which bird is dying and decreasing and where the problems are,
281
but the chuffs, it's a real success story.
282
Cornwall birds want to hear of any sightings.
283
There may now be around 400 chuffs in Cornwall, but to see one is still special.
284
Tamsin Melville, BBC Spotlight.
285
We'd both like T-shirts saying chufflets, wouldn't we?
286
I think it's such a great word.
287
Yeah, isn't it?
288
Chufflet.
289
Little chufflets.
290
Thank you, Victoria.
291
Hello, good evening.
292
Yeah, we've had a lot of fine weather around today.
293
It's been generally rather cloudy, but earlier today we did have some blue sky in quite a few places
294
and there's a bit more of that to come for tomorrow.
295
However, there is the risk of some quite heavy rain turning up overnight tonight.
296
It'll be around first thing tomorrow morning, then it clears and they're mostly fine and dry.
297
The sunshine will come back tomorrow but a few isolated showers are certainly possible.
298
This was Truro from earlier today where it did look a bit grey in places.
299
It did brighten up here and there and actually for many of us today it has been again a dry day.
300
But poised to move up from the south will be some much more widespread rain
301
and potentially some of that rain could be thundery.
302
So there is a risk tonight of the odd rumble of thunder thunder
303
and lightning possible but more importantly because we
304
so desperately need some rain there could be some heavy rain
305
overnight as well this line of cloud is a weather front coming up from the south it's embedded within
306
that that we've got the thunderstorms they won't be everywhere
307
but just the risk here
308
and there the whole lot is steadily moving northwards taking with it the heavier bursts of rain
309
so most of that clearing quite swiftly early in the day tomorrow
310
but we've got low pressure right over us in fact two areas of low pressure
311
so a complete change in our weather pattern now we've got
312
westerly winds developing as we move through Friday into Saturday
313
and Sunday so lower temperatures but also these bands of cloud will produce some appreciable rain
314
so much so in fact
315
that by the time we get to the end of the weekend
316
and the early part of next week our rainfall totals are going to start to add up.
317
It's certainly not enough rain compared to how dry we've been, but we could be between 40, maybe 50 millimetres of rain by the time we get to Monday or Tuesday of next week.
318
This evening and tonight, here comes the rain.
319
It's initially a bit patchy, but later on in the night, perhaps it becomes a bit more widespread.
320
There's some moderate to heavy bursts of rain associated with this as well, and it'll turn quite misty overnight tonight.
321
Really quite a humid night.
322
Look at the minimum temperatures.
323
no lower than between 16 and 18 degrees, so very muggy, quite misty early in the day tomorrow.
324
The remnants of that rain last to clear from Exmoor, North Somerset, the western part of Dorset as well.
325
Then the rest of the day, I think, will be predominantly dry.
326
There could be a shower, it'll be fairly isolated, but most of us getting away with a largely dry day.
327
But with the rain comes slightly cooler air, So temperatures will be down compared to what we've seen recently, 20 to 23, the temperature range for tomorrow.
328
Ours are silly here.
329
I think we'll have showers early in the day, perhaps most of the day dry, but then a few turning up late in the day and into the evening as well.
330
These are our times of high water, Falmouth 5.45, Portland 7.18 and Padstow 5.51 tomorrow morning.
331
and the winds are going to be predominantly from the southwest, force four, but occasionally five with those showers, otherwise fair with good visibility.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
