:00:12. > :00:14.Plans for one of the biggest solar farms in the South West

:00:15. > :00:16.have been unveiled, and it's on the Somerset Levels

:00:17. > :00:19.British Solar Renewables wants to build the 65`acre power plant

:00:20. > :00:23.But after spending weeks underwater during last winter's floods,

:00:24. > :00:25.people living there aren't happy with the proposals.

:00:26. > :00:29.Here's our Somerset correspondent, Clinton Rogers.

:00:30. > :00:34.Pretty much as far as you could see out there was all underwater.

:00:35. > :00:41.On a damp day here, memories of the winter flooding are vivid.

:00:42. > :00:44.Virtually all of this land, the heart of the Somerset Ldvels,

:00:45. > :00:49.Now the people of Aller have a new battle `

:00:50. > :00:54.against a developer who wants to put a giant solar farm here,

:00:55. > :01:00.At this time I can't believd the insensitivity of

:01:01. > :01:04.the applicants but it's a commercial application, I understand that.

:01:05. > :01:08.They are not looking at it from our point of view, they are looking at

:01:09. > :01:15.We are supposed to be valuing the heritage of our English

:01:16. > :01:21.countryside, but why would xou want to put an industrial development

:01:22. > :01:27.The company behind the plan is local.

:01:28. > :01:34.and they have already built 20 solar farms across the country.

:01:35. > :01:38.The boss says the latest project may be their biggest,

:01:39. > :01:45.Although Aller is in an open plain, it has some very good opportunities

:01:46. > :01:52.to screen with the trees, as proposed in the applicathon.

:01:53. > :01:57.We are focusing hard on hidhng the site in the best way we can

:01:58. > :02:01.It won't be the first solar farm on the Somerset Levels.

:02:02. > :02:07.This one near Puriton, covering 32 acres, went online in 2001.

:02:08. > :02:10.If the Aller development gets planning permission, it will be

:02:11. > :02:17.twice that size and generatd enough electricity to power 5500 homes

:02:18. > :02:19.It's a tremendously historic landscape down there.

:02:20. > :02:23.The protesters argue the price is too high in thd damage

:02:24. > :02:35.The BBC has learnt that Swindon s Great Western Hospital still has

:02:36. > :02:39.Last year the hospital was criticised by

:02:40. > :02:43.the Care Quality Commission for not having enough registered nurses

:02:44. > :02:46.Figures obtained from a Freddom of Information request

:02:47. > :02:48.show that the hospital is still failing to achieve

:02:49. > :02:52.the ratio of one nurse to seven elderly patients,

:02:53. > :02:54.as recommended by the Royal College of Nursing

:02:55. > :03:00.The hospital says it's put extra investment into staffhng.

:03:01. > :03:02.A new awareness campaign for prostate cancer has been

:03:03. > :03:06.It's the most common form of cancer in men.

:03:07. > :03:10.Every year around 40,000 patients in the UK are diagnosed

:03:11. > :03:14.The two`week event is the fhrst of its kind in Bristol and aims to get

:03:15. > :03:19.Information leaflets and special T`shirts have bden

:03:20. > :03:35.We have secreted over 25,000 leaflets to venues in the Bristol

:03:36. > :03:43.area, where men gather, so barbershops, golf shops, bowls

:03:44. > :03:46.clubs, so a large area of contact with men and also to women's

:03:47. > :03:50.hairdressers so trying throtgh women to get them to cajole their man to

:03:51. > :03:51.take action and look after their life.

:03:52. > :03:53.Four years ago, it attracted over 130,000 pdople to

:03:54. > :03:55.Gloucester Cathedral, and now a major exhibition of

:03:56. > :03:58.sculpture from many of the world's most famous artists is back.

:03:59. > :03:59.Works by Damien Hirst, Antony Gormley

:04:00. > :04:02.and Henry Moore sit alongside dozens of other contemporary pieces.

:04:03. > :04:08.Here's our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve Knibbs.

:04:09. > :04:18.Crucible is back to put world`class sculpture within reach of

:04:19. > :04:25.the public, and what seems to make this a success isn't just the art

:04:26. > :04:29.We believe the cathedral is both sacred space and common grotnd.

:04:30. > :04:31.All the regular worship continues to take place.

:04:32. > :04:35.But at the same time a cathddral is the kind of place where you can

:04:36. > :04:37.experiment, where things can be seen you can't see anywhere else,

:04:38. > :04:43.Two years in the planning, Crucible has again been curated by a team

:04:44. > :04:49.Painstaking work to not just choose the artworks, but also where

:04:50. > :04:56.There is the traditional, the obscure, the sometimes unnerving.

:04:57. > :04:59.A huge range is on show, from less well`known artists to the lhkes

:05:00. > :05:04.of Gloucestershire's Lynn Chadwick to Antony Gormley and Henry Moore.

:05:05. > :05:07.I think it was something like ? million worth of benefit to the

:05:08. > :05:11.local economy last time and we do know it's been nationally advertised

:05:12. > :05:15.and people come from the art world and people are generally interested

:05:16. > :05:18.to come and see what's going on so we're hoping to have that bdneficial

:05:19. > :05:24.It's difficult to single out one piece of work, but surely

:05:25. > :05:29.This is Damien Hirst's Falldn Angel and it's being seen in publhc

:05:30. > :05:31.for the first time anywhere in the world.

:05:32. > :05:34.It's gold`plated, obviously, and it's not until you look closely

:05:35. > :05:38.that you realise how striking it actually is.

:05:39. > :05:41.Boldly installed close to the altar, it shows Mary Magdalene

:05:42. > :05:46.The paraphernalia and physical scars of

:05:47. > :05:53.I think it's fascinating to see it all so close at hand as well, for

:05:54. > :06:03.everyone to appreciate how beautiful the interpretation of everything is.

:06:04. > :06:07.and a lot of his stuff, you think, shock horror.

:06:08. > :06:10.Crucible is free and open until the end of October, a rare

:06:11. > :06:13.chance to see the best of the modern art world amongst the medieval

:06:14. > :06:29.But for now I'll leave you with Ian, who has the latest forecast.

:06:30. > :06:36.Tomorrow will bring a good deal of dry weather. How much sunshhne will

:06:37. > :06:40.be a cross any square mile hs trickier to guarantee that there

:06:41. > :06:45.will be variable amount of cloud and sunny spells, but it will bd a warm

:06:46. > :06:50.day. For the rest of tonight, we have lost some rain towards the

:06:51. > :06:55.south but not necessarily all the low cloud, so towards the E`st,

:06:56. > :07:00.places like Salisbury plain could be under low cloud by daybreak.

:07:01. > :07:04.Temperatures could be as low as seven or eight in the countryside,

:07:05. > :07:11.bright and sunny spells to start the day, cloudier the further is to

:07:12. > :07:18.come, then we get into a mixture of bright and sunny spells but all

:07:19. > :07:25.under light winds, dry condhtions, and temperatures up to around 2

:07:26. > :07:29.Celsius. We continue with those warm temperatures through the wedk ahead

:07:30. > :07:30.but again thick cloud cover could remain a bit of a headache. Matt

:07:31. > :07:37.Taylor will will also feel fairly warm, and the

:07:38. > :07:42.cloud will make a difference to the temperature as Matt Taylor explains.

:07:43. > :07:46.Good evening. If you have left it late for your summer break this

:07:47. > :07:52.year, the weather will probably be kind to you. Most places will be dry

:07:53. > :07:58.and it will be fairly warm as well. Most places will see temperatures in

:07:59. > :08:03.the high teens, but they could reach the mid-20s. The problem is judging

:08:04. > :08:08.those cloud breaks from day-to-day. The high pressure is settling things

:08:09. > :08:12.down, but also dragging in some cloud and we have this weather front

:08:13. > :08:18.trapped, which at the moment is producing some heavy bursts of rain

:08:19. > :08:24.over Kent and Sussex. It will be a misty and murky night towards the

:08:25. > :08:28.east. Clearer skies, and in the countryside temperatures will get

:08:29. > :08:33.down to silver figures. Light winds in the morning, and where we have

:08:34. > :08:37.the sunshine it shouldn't feel too chilly. The weather front is still

:08:38. > :08:41.tangled amongst the high pressure, anywhere from Teeside to the

:08:42. > :08:43.south-east it will potentially be a
