Good evening. Protestors gathered complainants in the trial. But | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Good evening. Protestors gathered outside Hinkley Point nucle`r power | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
station in Somerset today as plans to build a new reactor reached a | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
critical stage. The Governmdnt struck a deal with EDF last year | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
over the price to be paid for electricity coming from the new | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
plant. But those plans are running into trouble. Paul Barltrop reports. | :00:27. | :00:38. | |
The deal struck between the government and EDF for the power | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
station is unprecedented. The words of the competition Commissioner as a | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
deadline passes to submit evidence to his enquiry. Protesting `t the | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
gate today, those seeking to have Hinkley see ruled out of order. | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
Energy forever, of course! The Green MP Caroline Lucas joined her voice | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
to the veteran anti`nuclear campaigners. They have made a | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
detailed submission to the DU Anti`Competition Commissiondr. This | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
is an inappropriate use of state aid. The Government came to power | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
saying it would only promotd nuclear if it could be done with no public | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
subsidy, yet it is perfectlx clear that there is a massive subsidy | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
going into nuclear if it gods ahead at Hinkley. Also in the West today, | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
Ed Davey. He visited a Bristol firm involved in tidal power. Thd | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Government are helping finance the growth of clean, renewable dnergy, | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
but they are emphatic about the need for nuclear. He is confident about | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
what he has submitted to thd commission. I don't think there has | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
been a more comprehensive, thorough approach in Government power. `` | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
ever. This is a difficult project because you are supporting ` project | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
for a long time and that length of time and that level means that | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
support systems last longer. Therefore, we have been verx | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
detailed in the way we have approached this. On the grotnd at | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Hinkley Point, there is cle`r evidence that they expect the | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
project to go ahead. Prepar`tory work is about to begin. We `re | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
taking some risks but this hs worth taking with local infrastructure so | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
that we minimise disruption for the local people. We want to get this | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
off to a flying start and wd see ourselves as a pioneering project | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
and we will make sure we ard successful. EDF and their opponents | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
have had their say. Hundreds of miles away in Brussels, the EU | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Commissioner must decide who is right. A former Bishop of Gloucester | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
was too unwell to appear in court earlier to answer allegations of sex | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
offences dating back to the 197 s. The Rt Rev Peter Ball faces two | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
charges of indecent assault and one of misconduct. He was Bishop of | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
Gloucester in 1992 but resigned the following year. The case was | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
adjourned until the end of Lay. Tributes have been paid to ` | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
teenager from Somerset who was found dead after going out for a bike | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
ride. Charlie Tugwell was 18 and from Peasedown St John. His body was | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
found next to his bike on an isolated track. Emergency sdrvices | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
pronounced him dead at the scene and his death is being treated `s | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
unexplained. His family say he was a quiet, thoughtful boy and students | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
at City of Bath College called him a brilliant friend. A Liberal Democrat | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
MP from Somerset has written a book outlining a new direction for the | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
party which some claim would make them more Conservative than the | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Tories. Jeremy Browne, who hs MP for Taunton, wants top rate income tax | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
slashed and is a fan of private health insurance. He says the Lib | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Dems have been too timid and he wants to be more radical. D`vid | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Garmston went to see him at Westminster. | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Jeremy Browne, a lot of people are saying that you are in the wrong | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
party. You are a Conservative. If they are saying that, they `re wrong | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
because I am a liberal and H want the Liberal Democrats to be a bold, | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
self`confident, authentic lhberal party and I think that is ilportant | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
for addressing our national predicament. You are suggesting | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
changes that the Conservatives would not dare to suggest. If thex are too | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
timid to face up to some of the issues the country faces, that is | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
for them to answer to. West Country Lib Dems knocking on doors `nd | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
drumming up support think they are working for a centre`left p`rty | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
This is way to the right. I don t accept it is. I am arguing for more | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
educational opportunity, including children from poorer backgrounds. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Health insurance? I am putthng forward a liberal argument `s to how | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
Britain can be a successful, influential, prosperous country in | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
up to 50 years from now. So what are West Country people supposed to | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
think about this? Nick Clegg says he is the brake in Number 10, stopping | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
the Tories doing too much that is radical, and you are being lore | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
radical than all of them. I want the Liberal Democrats to be the | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
accelerator and not the brakes. I don't think you go into polhtics to | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
stop other people doing things. Is this a leadership bid, and hf so, | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
for which party? It is not ` leadership bid and the Liberal | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Democrats have a leader at the moment and he will be the ldader at | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
the next election. The point I am making is that we have serious | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
issues that we should think about at the moment and I think unrestrained | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
authentic liberalism is the response to our national predicament. If | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
there is no space for an authentic liberal in the Liberal Democrats | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
than we do have problems but I think there is and those are the `rguments | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
I am putting forward. Jeremx Browne, thank you. | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
Just before we go to the we`ther, firefighters in Somerset had a very | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
unusual call`out this week. They had to rescue this teenager who decided | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
to have a go on a children's swing in Frome and got stuck. It took them | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
more than half an hour to free him and eventually they detached the | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
seat using a set of Allen kdys. Luckily, for the 17`year`old, his | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
friends were on hand to takd pictures of his fight for freedom. | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
Now the weather forecast. A pleasant day tomorrow, after a | :06:23. | :06:35. | |
night of sunshine but we should hang onto that sunshine rather than | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
having the cloud we saw tod`y. Another dry one and it looks | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
effectively like a bright vhctory through tonight as well. Thdre will | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
be a weak front coming throtgh the early hours, that could givd some | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
light rain so the key thing will be under clear skies, temperattres as | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
low as four degrees. Some m`y and fog into the first hours of tomorrow | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
but thereafter, there will be little significant change sunlight when all | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
the way, sunny spells and things will continue through the afternoon | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
and into a fine evening. Temperatures by the mid`aftdrnoon | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
around 14 Celsius and it should feel pleasantly warm. And settled for the | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
weekend. Difficult chasing the cloud amounts but it will be sunnx spells, | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
cloud at times and temperattres in the mid`teens. And driver ndxt week. | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
weather stays with us into the weekend and for the London Marathon | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
as well. Parts of Australia are about to be | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
hit by a powerful cyclone bringing whether that is just about as bad as | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
it gets with winds gusting over 100 miles an hour and potentially | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
flooding rain. First of all, back home our weather could not be more | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
different. Settled weather generally for the next few days including the | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
weekend. Tonight temperatures are falling sharply and it is a cold | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
night in northern areas. In the countryside it will be down to just | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
two or three Celsius. Some pockets of fog are likely. Showers in | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
western Scotland, but generally there will be some dry and fine | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
weather around. It will be a sparkling start to the day in | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
northern England. Some fog and mist patches in south Wales and | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
south-west England. We will have more cloud in the Midlands, East | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
Anglia and the South East. There will be a few showers through the | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
course of the day, in Sussex and Kent, but it will be | :08:49. | :08:49. |
