Sophie Hutchinson, BBC News. That's all from us. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
?4 million has been set aside to compensate communities living | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
around the proposed site of a new nuclear power station in Solerset. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Hinkley C is set to be the biggest construction site | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
in Europe and it could take at least eight years to build. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Here's our Somerset correspondent, Clinton Rogers. | :00:26. | :01:07. | |
This vast project may yet bd scuppered by the | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
European Commission, who are investigating whethdr the | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
deal between EDF and the Government for new nuclear electricity amounts | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
All of this really amounts to a gamble | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
by EDF, a gamble that the Etropean Union decision will go their way. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Because, if it doesn't, all this will have been a w`ste | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
of time, and the land will have to be put back to the way it w`s. | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
All payments are administerdd and governed by West Somerset Council... | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
But civic leaders announcing the compensation package today know | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
that whatever happens, their ?4 million is safe. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
The village of Stogursey, jtst a mile from Hinkley, is guaranteed | :01:41. | :01:50. | |
Now it's up to the communitx now to apply for the cash. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
If people want to enhance the village hall either | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
by building it on, building a new one, encompassing the youth | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
So, in other words, it is whatever the village wants? | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
It is whatever the village wants as a whole. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
More money will follow in the years to come ` up to ?20 million | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
That is if Hinkley C actually becomes more than just | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
Our political editor Paul B`rltrop joins me in the studio. | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
Why is it taking so long for building work on the power | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
It was always going to take a long time. The Competition Commission | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
looked at this at the end of last year. He has described it as | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
complex. It is without precddent. The focus is on what he calls | :02:47. | :02:57. | |
subsidy, sometimes known as state aid. It is permissible wherd there | :02:58. | :03:16. | |
has been something called a market failure with a few | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
the Chief Executive was askdd about this. As far as they're concerned, | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
it is up to the UK Government to make sure things run smoothly in | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
Brussels. A motorcyclist from Stroud has been | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
killed while competing in the world Bob Price came off his bike during | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
the third lap of his race today An investigation | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
into his death is now under way A mother from South Gloucestershire | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
is launching a legal challenge against the ban on children being | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
taken on holiday, during term`time. Karen Wilkinson has helped form a | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
group called "Parents Want ` Say". Already in the West, | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
more than 700 fines have bedn issued to parents for taking | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
their children out of school. Reminiscing | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
about a once`in`a`lifetime holiday. Phil Richards | :04:07. | :04:15. | |
from Corsham took his familx to When he came back, he got a letter | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
telling him he'd been fined ?24 . And if he wouldn't or couldn't pay, | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
he'd have to go to court. The children were seven and nine at | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
that time, and to go somewhdre like Canada in the middle of winter, and | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
to have the sort of experiences they had, in my view, is no diffdrent | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
than a school field trip . had, in my view, is no diffdrent | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
than a school field trip. I think the educational | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
value was phenomenal. Six`year`old Izak is | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
a very good reader for his `ge. But while he's reading his book | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
his dad's being read the riot act for going to Spain | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
during term`time, taking Iz`k out Until the holiday companies and | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
the airline companies have ` fixed price, a standard flat rate, I am | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
not going to pay these extr` costs. Since last September, | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
the Government's got a lot tougher with parents taking | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
holidays in term`time. It used to be at the head tdacher's | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
discretion to allow time off. Now it can only be in exceptional | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
circumstances, like a bereavement. A new campaign group called | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Parents Want a Say has attr`cted nearly a quarter of a million people | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
to its online petition to gdt We've got a case at the mintte where | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
a child who is going in for an operation, which, at worst, | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
will leave her in a wheelch`ir, has been refused a week's holiday | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
before she goes for her operation to You know, so, silly cases lhke that, | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
which you would just think `re You know, | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
you would think it is a no`brainer, but somehow or other, they `re not | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
being interpreted that way. According to Karen, | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
the Department for Education is Few parents would disagree with | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
this, but the Government's crackdown That is all from us tonight. We re | :05:56. | :06:34. | |

Conversely tonight, most of the region is quite light in nature | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
Drizzle until fork as well. A weak front is trundling slowly e`stwards. | :07:01. | :07:09. | |
That is heading to parts of Gloucestershire, where tempdratures | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
