Good evening, I'm Emma Vardx with the news in the South. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The developer Costain has bden fined more than ?500,000 after | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
the death of a man on a Newbury building site three years ago. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Mark Williams, who was 41, died when a forklift truck fell on him. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Earlier this year Costain w`s found guilty of breaching health | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
and safety regulations. Charlotte Stacey reports. | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
Last Sunday family and friends gathered to remember Mark Whlliams | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
on the third anniversary of his death. This morning after a lengthy | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
trial Costain, the developer of the site he was working on when he | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
died, were fined for health and safe to breaches. I just hope it does not | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
happen to anyone else and no other family goes through what we have | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
been through. I hope they lhsten. Fine to me is irrelevant re`lly | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
isn't it? Mark is never going to walk through the door again. Mark | :01:06. | :01:18. | |
lived in New or knee in Oxfordshire and was working in a shopping centre | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
in Newbury. A machine he was operating cell and crushed him. The | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
judge described him as a loving son and father of two children. It said | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
lessons had not been learned from two previous incidents wherd the | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
company had been warned abott lifting equipment. She said the | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
amounts did not reflect the value of Mark Williams's life but rather it | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
marked the seriousness of the breaches in health and safety. We | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
asked Costain for a statement but they refused to comment. Thd finding | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
its own right is clearly very heavy and we would hope that as the | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
construction industry continues to improve and everyone is happy about | :01:54. | :02:06. | |
that that principal contractors realise that they also have to | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
manage the risks that go alongside that. The family will not rdceive | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
any of the money from the fhne. It all goes to the Treasury. They said | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
they intend to claim for compensation for his daughtdrs. | :02:14. | :02:14. | |
Southampton MP Alan Whitehe`d's called | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
on Channel 4 to rethink thehr plans for a controversial reality series | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
It follows a heated public leeting last night, at which residents came | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
face to face with producers of Immigration Street, who've `lready | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
It's being made by the same team behind Benefits Street. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
There's fears over how the community will be portr`yed | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
I think it is fundamentally misconceived about the area. I think | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
it is quite wrong that a colpany comes and sticks a pain in `nd says | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
that is Immigration Street, regardless of the reality of the | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
area. The RNLI is warning that yotngsters | :02:57. | :02:57. | |
who tombstone ` that's jumping into the sea | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
from high points like jettids or To back up that warning thex've | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
issued these pictures, taken in Portsmouth during | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
the current heatwave, of people jumping into shallow water from | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
the battlements in Old Portsmouth The maritime and coastguard | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
agency says 20 people have died A 60% cut in the money given to | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
respite activities for disabled children could be | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
on the cards in Hampshire at a time when other local authorities | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
are protecting those servicds. The reccommendation comes jtst | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
months after Hampshire County Council told the BBC it hopdd to | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
reduce the budget by less than %. The council says | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
the cuts won't hit the front line. Bournemouth Borough Council has lent | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
its voice to the mounting disapproval for | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
the Navitus Bay windfarm scheme It says if | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
the proposals are approved, hundreds of thousands of visitors will be put | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
off travelling to the resort. The plans are currently being | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
considered for approval They've received 2,700 interested | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
representations, the highest ever But just last week plans for the | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Rampion wind farm off the Stssex coast, one of the world's l`rgest, | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
were approved with little objection. It was the power of the sun that was | :04:16. | :04:27. | |
attracting people to the be`ch at Bournemouth this afternoon. The | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
council wants to keep it th`t way. Today the cabinet voted to oppose a | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
plan for winter turbines 40 miles off Bournemouth. They say it would | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
devastate the tourism econoly, driving away tens of millions of | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
pounds of holiday`makers spdnding but would it really deterred | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
tourists? I think it would be a novelty at first to come down and | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
see about it is not something you really want to see, is it? Would it | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
put you off coming here? It worked, yes. Some people say would spoil the | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
view. Would that bother you? No no, it is the beach, isn't it? Last week | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
the government gave the go``head to a wind turbine farm eight mhles off | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
the Sussex toast `` coast bdtween Peacehaven and wording. Why does | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Bournemouth think it should be treated differently? Brighton and | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
Hove Council did not oppose it because they have a different offer | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
to that we have here. We have an area of outstanding beauty `nd the | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
only world Heritage site just around the corner. That is why people come | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
here, for the beauty of the natural environment. People have a | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
perception of change but thd reality is very different. A case in point | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
of that would be that the neighbouring authority, the Isle of | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Wight, they actually think we are underplaying the benefits that the | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
wind farm could have so you can see how different regions and | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
communities are very differdnt with a different approach. | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
Today's decision is not the end of the matter and the final decision | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
will be taken by the secret`ry of state by the government and that is | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
likely to be around one year from now after the general electhon. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
The Commonwealth Games got tnderway in true Scottish style tonight with | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Competition starts tomorrow and a host of sporting personalities | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
from the South will be in action over the next 11 days | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
Our reporter Hamish Marshall has been catching up with some | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
of our local competitors at the athletes village and finding | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
out what Scottish delights `re on offer for them at the dining hall. | :06:26. | :06:42. | |
Ahead of the opening ceremony, the village has been filling up. Each | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
nation making it a home frol home. It is a huge honour to be | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
representing your country and it has that label of the friendly Games and | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
it is exactly that. When yot go out to compete you are competithve and | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
backing here it is the wonddrful atmosphere where you feel vdry | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
welcome. Day after day diffdrent sports have been arriving and | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
different people and it is busying up. It is a real sense of | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
anticipation which is fantastic Massively excited. The excitement | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
has been building the closer we have got in getting to the village | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
yesterday with all my best friends I just love it. The hub of thd village | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
is, as ever, the dining hall. With around 4500 athletes in all their | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
support staff they estimate 20, 00 meals a day will be served, catering | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
for all tastes stop they can have a lot of traditional Scottish food | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
like black pudding on white pudding and I get of `` I guess. No | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
deep`fried Mars bars as yet. Team England is the biggest team here and | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
there has been a huge investment in sports science and physio. The | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
athletes are moving towards the limits of human performance so we | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
are trying to eke out marginal gains and this type of area is wh`t | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
delivers that. It is about dnsuring the athlete stays as well and injury | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
free as possible. If a problem happens we treated early and get | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
them back to the field of play. We can move people from off thd podium | :08:12. | :08:26. | |
onto the podium and we can love the bronze into a goal. The athletes are | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
here and the venues are ridhng and awaiting `` ready and the w`iting is | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
almost over. An estimated 1.5 billion people will be watching the | :08:32. | :08:32. | |
Commonwealth Games. The best of luck to all the South's | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
competitors at the Commonwe`lth Games, we'll be following their | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
progress over the coming daxs. That's nearly all from the | :08:39. | :08:39. | |
South Today news team this dvening. Newsnight will be starting shortly | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
on BBC Two but now here's Alexis It was a super day. 84 Fahrdnheit | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
and we do it all again tomorrow Dry and humid overnight. Muddy hn | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
particular in the southern coastal counties. Parts of Oxfordshhre low | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
of 15. Staying dry through the night with the clear spells. Lots of | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
sunshine to start the day tomorrow and staying like that for mtch of | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
the day. There were the clotd building in the afternoon and | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
pleasantly warm in the sunshine with a high of 26 or maybe 27 or 28, | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
possibly topping today's 29. A slim chance of a shower in the Wdst but | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
most places stay dry and temperatures will be very shmilar as | :09:22. | :09:30. | |
we head through the rest of the week. Friday is a high of 28 in | :09:31. | :09:31. | |
places. Saturday from the north. The national picture | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
comes from Philip Avery. Unusually, I can say good morning. | :09:33. | :09:48. | |
Wednesday has been noticeable for a number of reasons. From a | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
meteorological point of view, it was the warmest day of the year for | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
Wales and Northern Ireland. Nothing like it across the East of | :09:58. | :09:58. |
