:00:00. > 3:59:59There is more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel. We are back

:00:00. > :00:11.with on the BBC News Channel. We are back

:00:12. > :00:13.Good evening. I'm Caroline Richardson with the latest news from

:00:14. > :00:16.South Today. The South's biggest ever wind farm project is at the

:00:17. > :00:19.centre of another controversy today. Backers of the Navitus Bay project

:00:20. > :00:23.have confirmed fishing and diving firms are in line for compensation

:00:24. > :00:26.if they have to stay away from the site during construction. Navitus

:00:27. > :00:29.says it is standard practice for off`shore developments. But some

:00:30. > :00:35.people in the tourism industry say they should be compensated too.

:00:36. > :00:39.Steve Humphrey reports. It is a big wind power plan,

:00:40. > :00:43.generating big arguments. The people behind Navitus Bay want to build 194

:00:44. > :00:51.turbines off the south coast, each 200 metres tall. They would be 13.3

:00:52. > :00:54.miles from Bournemouth. Today the debate has been stoked up by the

:00:55. > :00:57.emergence of this letter indicating that Navitus Bay may pay

:00:58. > :00:59.compensation to some fishing and recreational diving businesses that

:01:00. > :01:02.might be affected by the offshore wind farm. People involved in

:01:03. > :01:03.tourism say that they should also be eligible for compensation. They

:01:04. > :01:21.point out that research done FORCEDYELLOW It will create what we

:01:22. > :01:28.think is an industrial landscape, rather than the landscape I can see

:01:29. > :01:31.out of my window here. I think what we would like to see is a full

:01:32. > :01:38.economic impact analysis for the regional economy. This wind farm is

:01:39. > :01:41.very unusual because it is located so close to a really valuable

:01:42. > :01:43.tourism economy. Navitus says that they are proposing to help diving

:01:44. > :01:46.and fishing businesses that incur increased costs, but not the wider

:01:47. > :01:48.tourism industry. We have done detailed tourism studies and

:01:49. > :01:52.analysis. Similar to the twenty`two other wind parks around the UK, the

:01:53. > :04:02.impact on tourism is really a perception. There

:04:03. > :04:04.nursery, they will not have the equipment for the children. So it

:04:05. > :04:07.will be fantastic if someone can actually save this nursery. Until

:04:08. > :04:09.2009, the centre was funded by the West Sussex charity the Camelia

:04:10. > :04:12.Botnar Foundation. But since then, it has been independent and running

:04:13. > :04:21.on its own reserves and fundraising. But now it can no longer afford the

:04:22. > :04:25.?250,000 annual running costs. It has been very difficult. We have

:04:26. > :04:28.tried very hard to get somebody else involved to help us in our plight,

:04:29. > :04:31.but unfortunately, with the present economic climate, it is not really

:04:32. > :04:40.possible to get anyone to help to the extent that we need it. In

:04:41. > :04:43.March, another children's charity, the Rainbow Centre at Fareham, said

:04:44. > :04:51.it faced closure and launched an appeal for ?150,000 ` which it has

:04:52. > :04:53.now almost reached. The Camelia Botnar Children's Centre has begun a

:04:54. > :04:56.formal one month redundancy consultation with its 20

:04:57. > :05:01.professional carers ` most of whom have worked here for more than a

:05:02. > :05:04.decade. The trustees have held a meeting with staff to update them on

:05:05. > :05:08.the situation and they have been told that, if no new backers are

:05:09. > :05:18.found, this centre will close in July. Sean Killick, BBC South Today,

:05:19. > :05:21.Goring`by`Sea. The New Forest naturalist Chris

:05:22. > :05:23.Packham's campaign to protect migratory birds on the island of

:05:24. > :05:26.Malta has triggered a parliamentary debate on the issue. The BBC

:05:27. > :05:29.wildlife presenter was questioned by Maltese police while making a

:05:30. > :05:32.documentary. It followed a complaint by a group of hunters that he and

:05:33. > :05:37.his crew had breached their privacy by filming them.

:05:38. > :05:40.The prehistoric White Horse, on the hill near Uffington in Oxfordshire,

:05:41. > :05:43.is getting a face`lift this bank holiday. Volunteers have been

:05:44. > :05:46.invited to help re`chalk the giant figure, which has started to turn

:05:47. > :05:49.grey over the winter. To get the stones back into good condition they

:05:50. > :05:54.will use a method which has not changed since it was created 3,000

:05:55. > :05:56.years ago. Now it is time for the weather with

:05:57. > :06:06.David Braine. Hello, good evening. After the

:06:07. > :06:09.warmth and the sunshine of today, it is fresher and also much more

:06:10. > :06:12.unsettled for this week ahead. Generally, we are going to see a lot

:06:13. > :06:15.of cloud around, there will be showers, if not longer spells of

:06:16. > :06:19.rain, and also quite breezy with the winds from the west or south`west.

:06:20. > :06:22.There will be rain overnight and it will be slow to clear first thing

:06:23. > :06:24.tomorrow morning. It will dwell for a time, particularly across parts of

:06:25. > :06:26.Berkshire and Oxfordshire. Temperatures overnight, 11`12

:06:27. > :06:30.degrees. It will clear and then tomorrow morning, for at least half

:06:31. > :06:33.of the day, it will be bright and dry with sunny spells, quite a lot

:06:34. > :06:36.of cloud around. Then the showers will develop and get going in the

:06:37. > :06:38.afternoon, particularly in the north. Top temperature, 16 degrees.

:06:39. > :06:42.The outlook is unsettled. Breezy again on Wednesday with the risk of

:06:43. > :06:47.a few showers and more persistent rain turning up on Thursday. Have a

:06:48. > :06:52.good night. That is all from us for now. More on

:06:53. > :07:10.the BBC News website. We are back at 10:20PM.

:07:11. > :07:14.The sunshine today for the bank holiday produced the highest

:07:15. > :07:18.temperature of the long weekend in eastern England today, at 20

:07:19. > :07:19.Celsius. But to the west, the
