Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight: | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Another step to Somerset's nuclear reality. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
The Government strikes a deal to build Britain's first new plant | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
since 1995. It'll be the UK's biggest construction project worth | :00:25. | :00:36. | |
?16 billion. On the ground, while many have been talking about the | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
boost to the economy, others have spoken about the misery this 10`year | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
construction projects will bring to local communities. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
In other news tonight ` why these former soldiers are training with | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Bath Rugby. And find out why this is music to a | :00:48. | :01:06. | |
lovestruck deer. Good evening. | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
The government says it'll keep the lights on into the future ` but the | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
construction of Hinkley C will also have a profound effect on the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Somerset coastline. The project ` bigger than building the Olympic | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
park ` will bring an estimated 25,000 jobs to the West. But it ll | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
also bring disruption and some say a poor deal for consumers. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
Tonight we explore what it means for the West and our fuel bills, and how | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
safe new nuclear is. But first we cross live to Clinton Rogers who's | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
been at Hinkley Point since the announcement was made. I must say it | :01:37. | :01:48. | |
is a fairly measurable night. It is in contrast to the positive mood | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
that has been here all day. I have lost count of the number of times I | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
have stood on this spot talking about the ups and downs of the | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Hinkley C project. Six months ago when they said they would not put | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
their money on it but today, a definite shift in mood. It is still | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
not a done deal, but I venture to suggest that Hinkley C is more | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
certain to make than it ever has been. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
Nationally they were talking about a new nuclear dawn. But when the Prime | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
Minister walked into the reactor hall at Hinkley B today and met the | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
existing workforce, he was keen to talk local, to big up the boost to | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
Somerset's economy. 25,000 new jobs, he said. | :02:31. | :02:40. | |
Hand on heart, how many of those to you think will go to local people? | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
From what I have seen this morning, a lot of those jobs. These companies | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
are investing in local training and colleges to make sure the young | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
Google of Somerset can do apprenticeships here and learn | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
skills in engineering and construction, valuable jobs. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
200 people lost their jobs when EDF stopped work on Hinkley C six months | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
ago ` amid seemingly endless wrangling over the price to be paid | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
for new nuclear electricity. But at last a deal has been done. And now | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
the on`off project seems on. And this company in Bridgwater will | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
certainly be relieved. Elecisis Make electrical switching equipment and | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
they hope that contracts could be worth millions. We are looking to | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
double the size of our business We are looking to goal regardless # | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
draw regardless. But against the benefits must be | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
weighed the disruption the biggest build project in a generation will | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
cause locally. Combwich a few miles from Hinkley will see a new wharf | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
built to accommodate ships which will bring in building materials. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
These materials will then be stored and a depot the size of 20 football | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
pitch is just behind those houses. It was bound to happen, it is a | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
major project that will have benefits nationally. And in nearby | :04:10. | :04:25. | |
Cannington ` on the main road to Hinkley they are bracing themselves | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
for traffic chaos. They have been promised a bypass but the trouble is | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
that will not be billed for and other year and in that process the | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
traffic here will increase substantially, up to 700 extra lorry | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
movements. The Prime Minister tells everyone today it is short`term pain | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
for long`term gain. If everything goes to plan, when the sun sets on | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
this reactor in 2023, the new ones should be up and running. There will | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
always be those who are not convinced about the nuclear argument | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
and the concerns revolve around the question of nuclear waste, | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
specifically what to do with it Laura Jones reports. | :05:06. | :05:17. | |
1965 and frankly A goes online. Nuclear technology was new and | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
exciting and promised a cheap `` cheap, clean and plentiful supply of | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
energy. But as the decades went on, high`profile accidents I care in | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Chernobyl and ongoing question of nuclear waste raised questions about | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
its future. Each year our nuclear power stations produce large | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
quantities of nuclear waste. Most of this is low`level waste but some of | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
it as intermediate and high`level waste, the kind that will be | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
dangerous in terms of radioactivity for tens of thousands of years. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
There's already enough of it in the UK to full ten Olympic sized | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
swimming pools but at the moment there is no long`term plan and what | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
to do it all. Waste produced that Hinkley C will be stored on site for | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
at least the life of the plant. This was being protested about today in | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Bridgwater. After that it will need to be stored safely elsewhere. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Potentially for hundreds of thousands of years and at present | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
there is nowhere to do that. The problem with nuclear power is that | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
it creates a waste product that must be kept isolated from the | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
environment for up to 500 million years. We do not know how we will do | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
that yet. All we know is that there is a lot of money being poured into | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
this project. And Somerset we have an additional problem because of the | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
design of the reactor which means we cannot move the waste from the site | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
for over 100 years. Great grandchildren in this area will | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
still be living with this problem. Some countries have already decided | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
that's too high a price to pay. Following decades of protest, | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Germany has said no to nuclear. The last plant will shut in nine years | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
time ` which means there will need to be massive investment in | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
alternatives. But many there believe this is the only answer ` because | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
the legacy of nuclear is just not worth it. Reaction has been coming | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
and all afternoon. John Osman, leader of Somerset County Council | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
has described it as a great opportunity. The leader of the local | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
cancer, Tim Taylor, he said he is looking forward to working with EDF | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
once they get this project up and running it `` again. The stop | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
Hinkley group have described this as a reckless deal. The Green Party say | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
it will lead to higher energy bills and the local MP has said it is a | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
good deal for Somerset but also for Britain as well. The talking is well | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
underway, all we need now is the work. | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
For most of us, Hinkley's new reactor will just be another source | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
of power for our kettles, fridges and TVs. As we've heard, today's | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
deal guarantees a price for the French energy company running | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
Hinkley that is TWICE the current rate. So what does that mean for our | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
bills? Dave Harvey's been doing the maths ` Dave, is it a good deal It | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
depends how much you like taking your chances to be honest Alex, | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
playing the ups and downs of the free market. If you have a mortgage | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
` do you like those variable deals that go up and down like a yo yo | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
when interest rates change ` or have you gone for a fixed rate ` you can | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
fix your energy bills too these days ` and you normally pay a bit more | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
for the security. This is what the wholesale energy market looks like ` | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
these are the prices paid not by us, but by energy companies. It's pretty | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
volatile, and getting a lot more so as more countries get hungrier for | :08:59. | :09:14. | |
energy. And here's what the government have offered EDF and | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
their Chinese backers ` ?89.50 guaranteed ` for 35 years. So what | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
happens next? Well, if the free market stays down here ` electricity | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
customers will pay over the odds for the power that comes from Hinkley C. | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
And today's deal looks ` well, not brilliant. But if the energy market | :09:33. | :09:44. | |
continues to climb, and goes above that ?90 mark ` Hinkley C's | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
electricity will remain fixed, set at ?90 ` and today's ministers will | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
say ` you're glad we fixed your prices now, aren't you? Of course, | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
if all this happens it means all the energy we use has gone up twice the | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
price we pay today, not just the 7% that comes from Hinkley, and if | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
ministers think today is a good deal, obviously that is what they | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
are being told. Either way, however, our bills are going up. Earlier I | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
spoke to the Energy Minister Michael Fallon and asked him if fixing the | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
energy price at double the current rate was a good deal for the | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
country. It is a very good price, do not forget and return EDF are | :10:19. | :10:27. | |
building as a ?16 billion nuclear power station, which otherwise we | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
would have had to have found that 16 billion and taken away from schools | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
and other public services. Consumers may be worried about what this means | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
for them. At the moment they have just seen three of the big six | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
energy, he's putting up their prices. We are presumably looking at | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
the government giving us an impression that in 10`year's time | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
the going rate will be what you have signed up to with Hinkley C. Yes, | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
but it would be larger if we did nothing. We would have to pay more | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
for our commitment to carbon and renewables and they would have to | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
pay more for wind farms if we did not have nuclear and we would be | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
more dependent on the wholesale gas price which would also increase we | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
believe. It locks EDF and at eight fixed price that is cheaper that we | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
are paying at the moment for onshore wind turbines. For the people of | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
Somerset and the UK, in terms of the waste, what is the government's plan | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
for that? We are consulting in terms of how waste should be properly | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
handled in future. We have put out a consultation document and we are | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
waiting for local authorities who have expressed an interest in this | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
before, for example, Cumbria, to respond to the opportunity that is | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
now the but we have also ensured that EDF, who are operating this | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
plant and Hinkley, they must start setting aside some of the money each | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
year to cope with the costs of decommissioning and also to cope | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
with the costs of handling the waste. They will start to do that | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
from day one of the operation of the new plant. | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
Hinkley B was built by British engineers. Obviously Hinkley C has | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
been designed by the French and paid for why the Chinese, you believe | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
that as sad? We have several British companies, but `` and they will be | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
involved in these contracts. Rolls`Royce, for example, they will | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
play a part in these projects and I hope we will have one big British | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
company that can take it on. But we are doing something unique that has | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
never been done before in Britain or anywhere else in the world. We are | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
getting someone else to pay for the construction of a nuclear power | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
station and to take all of the construction risk, it is only | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
reasonable if they do that that the Genk shell out ?16 billion and that | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
they should have some reasonable security that when they do plug it | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
into the system we will get some playback as well. | :12:57. | :13:21. | |
But there's still plenty more news for you on Points West tonight. Yes | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
stay with us ` we'll find out why police are cracking down on | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
irresponsible horse owners and why these deer lovers are calling out to | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
the stags on Exmoor... The government may be taken to court | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
if its controversial badger cull resumes in Gloucestershire. A | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
decision's expected tomorrow over whether to permit a further eight | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
weeks of shooting. It's part of efforts to tackle the disease, | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
bovine TB. But too few badgers were killed in the first six weeks of | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
culling. Campaigners, who say the government is breaching its own | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
policy, have launched a legal challenge. | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
The Great Western hospital in Swindon says outpatients not turning | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
up for appointments are costing the NHS ?4 million a year. Managers have | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
revealed that 40,000 outpatients missed appointments last year. The | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
hospital's introducing a reminder service via text messaging, which | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
has already helped cut missed appointments by more than a third. | :14:04. | :14:24. | |
The charity Horseworld says the number of people dumping horses on | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
land they don't own is up by 21 . It's a practice called fly grazing. | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
Last week two travellers were given the first ASBOs in England, banning | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
them from keeping horses on land without prior permission. The BBC's | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
Inside Out West programme has been investigating. | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
It's late at night and the owner of this field near Frome in Somerset | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
has paid a bailiff to remove some horses from his land. It's expensive | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
but it's a lot simpler than doing it yourself. | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
You can't just take them away. The process can cost thousands and if | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
you're not careful you could end up being prosecuted. | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
And that's led to an increase in the number of horses being fly grazed. | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
It's estimated there are 4,000 nationwide. More and more of them | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
are ending up at Horseworld just outside Bristol. The charity has 48 | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
on its books ` that's nearly half of all its animals ` a 21% increase on | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
last year. It's about profits, it's like any | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
industry, if you're spending money on fodder and renting ground on | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
which to put animals then that's biting into your profits. | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
One of the animals they rescued was left for dead on Severn Beach. | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
Inside Out West understands it belonged to Eddie Mullane. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
This is Eddie and his brother Connie caught on CCTV in April cutting a | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
fence to get another horse onto the beach area. The footage was used | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
last week in a ground`breaking case brought by Avon and Somerset Police | :15:45. | :15:53. | |
and South Gloucestershire Council. We caught up with Eddie after the | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
hearing. Mr Mullane, Alastair McKee from the | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
BBC. Why do you fly graze your animals on other people's land? Go | :16:04. | :16:12. | |
BLEEP yourself. This finally caught up with Lehman Brothers. `` Eddie | :16:13. | :16:31. | |
Mullane and Connie Mullane. There's a been a meeting of very | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
different minds and bodies at Bath Rugby. Members of the Help for | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
Heroes sporting programme from Tedworth House in Wiltshire have | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
been learning how other elite athletes perform at the highest | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
level. It's been an education for the rugby players too, as Damian | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
Derrick's been finding out From front line to touchline ` it's been | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
quite a journey for some of these athletes. | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
Not least Staff Sergeant Micky Yule who had his legs blown off while | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
serving in Afghanistan three years ago. I never went unconscious when I | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
got injured. When I woke up I knew my legs were gone. I just thought | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
how was I going to get on with it? He and his team`mates have come to | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
Bath Rugby to inspire and be inspired. They're benefiting from a | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
partnership between Help for Heroes and the British Paralympic | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
Association. It fast`tracks wounded and injured servicemen and women | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
towards representing their country in Paralympic sport. It gave me | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
something to focus on. More than just trying to think about walking | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
and learning to walk and having surgeries, I would look at my | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
training as being the priority. I was trying to get surgery out of the | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
way and get these new perspectives out of the way and get back into | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
training. You need something else to think about. Which for Micky?has | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
been powerlifting. The inspiring side of it is that it is an | :17:50. | :17:59. | |
eye`opener when you meet these guys. It stays with you and you | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
think about things whenever you feel like complaining. | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
And the team from Tedworth House are making an even bigger impression on | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
those that work with them day in day out. When you have seen someone | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
through all of that pathway and that they can now achieve their goals, | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
there is nothing more inspirational. If that is the effect it has on us, | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
you can imagine how it makes them feel. | :18:28. | :18:28. | |
Micky's goal is competing at the Paralympics in Rio. And given what | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
he's already achieved expect to see him on a slightly bigger screen in | :18:33. | :18:46. | |
2016. Forest Green Rovers are looking for | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
a new manager. Dave Hockaday has left the club today after a seventh | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
defeat in eight matches at the weekend. He'd been in charge at the | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
New Lawn for the last four years. Many of us at some point in our | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
lives may have had a huge clear out and given some of our unwanted bits | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
and bobs to the local charity shop. But over the weekend, Weldmar | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Hospicecare Trust has been given a pretty special donation, as Fiona | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
Lamdin reports. There's something pretty special | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
inside here today, and it's got nothing to do with these, or these, | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
but if you look over here, an extraordinary donation from Peter | :19:19. | :19:32. | |
Wilson, the Olympic gold medallist. He has won gold for Great Britain! | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
The very same trousers and shooting jacket Peter wore when firing the | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
winning shot in the Olympic summer of 2012. | :19:40. | :19:48. | |
It's first time I've heard of such a unique opportunity to support a | :19:49. | :19:59. | |
local charity, once in a life time. And, of course, the London Olympics | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
are a once`in`a`lifetime experience for all of us, especially Peter | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
whose feet have hardly touched the ground since and he has been jetting | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
around all over the world. And within it's opening hour, bidding | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
was already underway, And so for the next five weeks, while the offers | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
roll in, it will be this, not entirely accurate replica of Peter, | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
wearing his kit. Fiona Lamdin, BBC Points West, in | :20:27. | :20:38. | |
Sherborne. Now, the village of Dulverton on the | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
edge of Exmoor was home to a world championship at the weekend. Bolving | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
` yes, bolving ` is the art of imitating a stag during the mating | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
season. This is what it should sound like: The idea is to trick the stag | :20:50. | :21:05. | |
into answering your call, and this year, almost 50 competitors took | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
part. Andrew Plant was there. Good evening and welcome to the 10th | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
annual world bolving competition here on Exmoor. You are going to be | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
judged on how well you imitate a stag. | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
The start of this annual competition and a demonstration and the art of | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
exactly how bolving should be done. Somewhere between Tarzan and the X | :21:25. | :21:40. | |
and the role of pain, and imitation of the Exmoor stags and this, their | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
mating season. Competitors need to call enough and loud enough to carry | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
across the countryside and persuade a real stag to and back. It is the | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
October rot, the mating season of the red Deer stags. They do this | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
unique call and it sends out a challenge. It says that I am a big | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
ruthless stag and high and testosterone. The bizarre world of | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
the bolving has become increasingly popular and crowds come from miles | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
around to test out their own calls and pick up some tips. Jane Coleman | :22:22. | :22:30. | |
trained hard for her very first bolving championship. And as | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
darkness begins to fall, the bolving finally begins. Quiet, quiet! | :22:37. | :22:47. | |
Between each call, everyone listens for the sound of a response from the | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
countryside below. The bolving is clearly open to interpretation. With | :22:59. | :23:08. | |
some surprising variation in each attempt. It is the most resounding | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
that seemed to be the most successful. Each account is marked | :23:18. | :23:31. | |
by torchlight by a panel of judges. Jane did not take the title this | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
time, but she says she will be back to do it all again next year. Andrew | :23:36. | :23:49. | |
Plant, BBC Points West on Exmoor. That was brilliant! That was how I | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
attracted my wife! It will be very wet this week. Some | :23:54. | :24:10. | |
of the rain will be very heavy and it will also be windy, but still | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
mild for this time of year. One of our weather warnings was set up in | :24:16. | :24:25. | |
Gloucestershire and it is said to be still very mild there. | :24:26. | :24:36. | |
There were one to drier spells about this afternoon. But at the moment | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
there are heavy rainfall is moving across Somerset. Overnight it will | :24:46. | :24:54. | |
get very wet indeed. It is moving not words over the middle of the | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
night. There will still be some around for the rush hour tomorrow | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
morning. Heavy rainfall tomorrow evening also. The Met Office has | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
some yellow warnings out for part of Wiltshire. They will disappear this | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
evening. Those for Somerset and Dorset will continue through tonight | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
and tomorrow. There are some concerns about the amounts of rain | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
that will be around. There will be a risk of flooding. As we approach | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
rush hour tomorrow morning there will still be some wet weather | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
about. It is a mild and eight. Temperatures are around 15 or 1 | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
Celsius. Tomorrow's rush hour is windy and wet. There will be some | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
drier weather and the West. Particularly for the South East of | :25:49. | :25:58. | |
Wiltshire. The dry weather continues and the sofa for a little while | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
longer before that rain moves across. So it will be a bit like | :26:02. | :26:13. | |
wet, dried, wet, dry. Friday is looking particularly wet. | :26:14. | :26:28. | |
We return to our main story tonight ` news that a deal's been struck | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
which will see a new nuclear power station built at Hinkley Point. Our | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
Somerset Correspondent Clinton Rogers has been on site all day and | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
joins us again. Clint ` the Prime Minister's given his seal of | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
approval, but does this mean the power station will definitely be | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
built? This is not yet a done deal. There could still be a few legal | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
challenges in the High Court and that will take place in December. | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
There is also the issue as to whether the European Union will see | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
to the's deal as a government subsidy and if that happens that | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
could be a problem. The Chinese have also not signed on the line and once | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
we have done that then you can see it as a done deal. Watch this space. | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
Tomorrow I will be chatting to and want to get and his partner and | :27:12. | :27:21. | |
Strictly Come Dancing. Join us at ten o'clock tonight with more on the | :27:22. | :27:22. | |
Hinckley news. Goodbye. | :27:23. | :27:29. |
