That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me

:00:00.:00:00.

Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith.

:00:00.:00:07.

A pedestrian dies after being hit by a car pursued

:00:08.:00:12.

by police through Brighton - tonight two men hand themselves in.

:00:13.:00:18.

Southern take fresh legal action to stop further rail strikes,

:00:19.:00:26.

but the Aslef Union say they won't back down.

:00:27.:00:29.

Calls to change the law to ban lorries from parking in lay-bys -

:00:30.:00:36.

and create a series of truck stops to end noise and litter

:00:37.:00:38.

30 years ago it started to snow, and didn't stop for four days -

:00:39.:00:44.

we remember the great winter storm of 1987.

:00:45.:00:47.

It's all right, I'll get another one in London.

:00:48.:00:50.

Remembering the real Pocahontas - 400 years after her

:00:51.:00:57.

Two men have handed themselves in after a pedestrian was hit

:00:58.:01:14.

and killed in Brighton city centre by a car being pursued by police.

:01:15.:01:20.

The 78-year-old man died last night, after he was hit

:01:21.:01:24.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission is now

:01:25.:01:28.

Friends of the victim say they're "shocked and numb"

:01:29.:01:32.

A police chase turned into a tragedy. The victim, a 78-year-old

:01:33.:01:49.

man named locally as John. Originally from Hungary, he used to

:01:50.:01:53.

regularly meet his friends in the area to go batting. Koloamatangi it

:01:54.:01:56.

is very sad that it has happened to him. I've only heard this morning

:01:57.:02:02.

that it happened and I still can't believe it. I was only chatting to

:02:03.:02:07.

him yesterday afternoon. He was a very nice man, very quiet. Very

:02:08.:02:13.

friendly sort of bloke. Never seems to trouble anybody. At around 10pm

:02:14.:02:17.

last night, a Vauxhall Astra failed to stop for police in the Bear Road

:02:18.:02:23.

area of Brighton. The pie was then chased by police officers into the

:02:24.:02:27.

city centre, where it hit the man on the pedestrian crossing on the

:02:28.:02:30.

junction with Saint James Street. But the car didn't stop there. It

:02:31.:02:35.

was found abandoned just a short distance away on Madeira Drive.

:02:36.:02:39.

Officers had seen a Vauxhall Astra shortly before this incident and it

:02:40.:02:44.

attempted to stop it but it failed to stop. The officers continued

:02:45.:02:47.

after the vehicle but lost sight of it. The IPC see is dealing with that

:02:48.:02:55.

aspect of the investigation and I cannot comment further. Blue lights

:02:56.:03:01.

were flashing. We look across and it was clear there was no arguments

:03:02.:03:04.

there. There was one police car, I think, and a body. People were

:03:05.:03:08.

crouched around looking at this person in the road. This morning,

:03:09.:03:13.

33-year-old man handed himself in to police. This afternoon, 35-year-old

:03:14.:03:17.

man did the same. Both from Brighton. They have both been

:03:18.:03:20.

arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving,

:03:21.:03:25.

drink-driving, failing to stop for police and failing to report an

:03:26.:03:26.

accident. Leanne Rinne reporting,

:03:27.:03:27.

and she's in Brighton for us. Leanne, what more do we know

:03:28.:03:29.

about the hit-and-run victim? Police tonight still haven't

:03:30.:03:41.

confirmed his name, but having spoken to people in the area, it

:03:42.:03:44.

doesn't seem like John had any family here. We believe he could

:03:45.:03:48.

have been homeless, regularly using one of the drop-in centres nearby.

:03:49.:03:52.

Within the last hour, the Independent Police Complaints

:03:53.:03:55.

Commission have told us and confirmed that they are launching

:03:56.:03:58.

their own investigation. They have already spoken to the police

:03:59.:04:01.

officers involved in that pursuit and they have given them their

:04:02.:04:04.

initial accounts, their initial version of events of what happened.

:04:05.:04:06.

Thank you. Southern Rail are taking fresh

:04:07.:04:07.

legal action tonight, Virtually all Southern trains have

:04:08.:04:09.

been brought to a standstill for the second day running

:04:10.:04:16.

by a drivers' strike - over whether it's safe or not

:04:17.:04:18.

for drivers rather than guards Four further strikes

:04:19.:04:21.

are planned this month - but Southern managers believe

:04:22.:04:24.

the industrial action Let's cross live to our political

:04:25.:04:26.

editor Helen Catt in Westminster. Helen, they've already tried

:04:27.:04:34.

and failed to stop these Yes, absolutely. Late last year, at

:04:35.:04:50.

macro Southern took Aslef to the High Court to try to stop strikes of

:04:51.:04:53.

the European law. That failed, and appeal failed and now they're

:04:54.:04:57.

escalating it the Supreme Court. Despite all of this action, it

:04:58.:05:04.

implies that Southern doesn't expect a resolution any time soon. Earlier

:05:05.:05:09.

I spoke to the general secretary of Aslef and tried to find out his red

:05:10.:05:13.

lines. I asked if he would be happy for drivers to close the doors on a

:05:14.:05:16.

train if there was an else on the train to a standard he agreed with.

:05:17.:05:19.

No, because the bulk of the dispute, the issue is around having a second

:05:20.:05:25.

present evacuates the train that can actually go on the track, deal with

:05:26.:05:29.

a train fire, deal with incidents of violence or illness or actually

:05:30.:05:34.

assist the disabled. It is a second part of why we are. If they could do

:05:35.:05:38.

all of those things but not close the doors, would that be acceptable?

:05:39.:05:43.

No, because the platform train interface is the concern. A train

:05:44.:05:48.

runs in and somebody shouts out, there is another one in two minutes,

:05:49.:05:51.

and nobody steps back and somebody then makes a valid judgments,

:05:52.:05:57.

whether a train manager operated, platform dispatch, where trains

:05:58.:06:00.

leave the platform and those who are clamouring to get on don't step back

:06:01.:06:04.

a safe distance and that second pair of eyes allows us to do this. What

:06:05.:06:07.

indemnifies the driver to do the job they are meant to do, looking

:06:08.:06:10.

forwards, not looking backwards is the person on the platform that says

:06:11.:06:15.

it is safe to go. We hear a lot about this being a bit of a proxy

:06:16.:06:19.

war between the unions facing off against a Tory government and vice

:06:20.:06:23.

versa. Is it? Yet if it were a Labour government, we would be doing

:06:24.:06:26.

the same. We would hope they listen to our voice, but in the same

:06:27.:06:30.

situation it would apply. I was asked if Sadiq Khan took over the

:06:31.:06:34.

running of the trains, would we have the same problems? If he was putting

:06:35.:06:38.

the same process in place, we would have the same problem. As technical

:06:39.:06:42.

solution can be found, this isn't a political dispute. If you can find a

:06:43.:06:45.

technical solution between the two sides, this could be over. This is

:06:46.:06:50.

industrial trade dispute about having DOI forced upon us in

:06:51.:06:55.

circumstances we don't agree with and its inherently safe. -- or any

:06:56.:07:05.

other lines of communication open? Quite often online as well as

:07:06.:07:09.

online. We never close those doors, we keep them open. We you are

:07:10.:07:16.

talking? We haven't this week. They want to talk to us in a week of

:07:17.:07:21.

action. If they had come to us for talks, I would be willing -- or

:07:22.:07:25.

would be willing to talk, we would have. We have never refused a

:07:26.:07:29.

meeting and will not be doing so in the future. How far are your members

:07:30.:07:33.

willing to go? Are we looking at strikes the months, years? That

:07:34.:07:37.

depends. The members themselves have a real concern. They did not choose

:07:38.:07:43.

this battle or the battle ground. I make that clear. We have not been

:07:44.:07:47.

involved in the last nine months. We have only just come to this. Those

:07:48.:07:50.

members will tell us when they've had enough. It is those numbers who

:07:51.:07:55.

are telling us this is what we want, this is where we need to be. We will

:07:56.:07:56.

listen to our members. The Conservative MP Tim Lawton has

:07:57.:08:05.

told us the backs taking further action. There are three more strike

:08:06.:08:09.

dates after this Friday. No more scheduled after that, but we

:08:10.:08:13.

understand that the executive committee of Aslef meets next week.

:08:14.:08:16.

We will hear them if any further action is plan. Thank you.

:08:17.:08:18.

Later in the programme we'll hear from Sussex business leaders who say

:08:19.:08:21.

the ongoing rail dispute is having a devastating impact on trade.

:08:22.:08:24.

In a moment: Fighting for funding - hundreds of Sussex headteachers

:08:25.:08:26.

write to MPs, claiming their schools need more cash.

:08:27.:08:38.

A change in the law is needed to make it illegal for lorries

:08:39.:08:41.

to park on residential roads and in lay-bys - that's the call

:08:42.:08:44.

from Kent County Councillors as they try to tackle the littering

:08:45.:08:47.

and noise making people's lives a misery.

:08:48.:08:51.

More than two million lorries came into Kent through Dover

:08:52.:08:53.

While plans being drawn up for a series of lorry parks

:08:54.:08:58.

are being put out for consultation, it's not clear who would

:08:59.:09:01.

actually pay for them, or where they would go.

:09:02.:09:03.

Sandra Mallory and Janet Watton, who live near the port of Dover,

:09:04.:09:10.

say up to 30 lorries park up their street each night, keeping

:09:11.:09:12.

Urine in bottles - when it's in a bottle -

:09:13.:09:20.

You can't walk up there with your children or your animals

:09:21.:09:34.

This police patrol off the A2 found lorry after lorry

:09:35.:09:37.

A bit further on, one has even decided to stop

:09:38.:09:41.

Lorry drivers parked up legally here today say it can be difficult

:09:42.:09:44.

Seven o'clock at night, you will not get in here.

:09:45.:09:52.

That's when you see them parked on slip roads.

:09:53.:10:00.

They need a lorry park and they need lots of them.

:10:01.:10:02.

It will upset locals, but they've got to go somewhere.

:10:03.:10:05.

In England, it is difficult, parking.

:10:06.:10:07.

I am driving very long time here, I know where you are parking,

:10:08.:10:10.

where is the possible bays, where is the toilet, shower.

:10:11.:10:17.

In 2015, two million HGVs entered through the Port of Dover

:10:18.:10:20.

and Eurotunnel from Europe, with over 10,000 lorries

:10:21.:10:22.

The number of freight vehicles using the Dartford Crossing

:10:23.:10:27.

A big lorry park is already planned at Stanford to counter Operation

:10:28.:10:34.

Stack, but Kent County Council is proposing up to five new lorry

:10:35.:10:37.

parks, potentially near Sheerness, Dartford, Maidstone and Tonbridge,

:10:38.:10:39.

though it wouldn't identify precise locations.

:10:40.:10:40.

It believes a change in the law would necessary.

:10:41.:10:49.

I've asked the minister and his offices to look

:10:50.:10:52.

at the concept of a law which says that you cannot park a lorry

:10:53.:10:55.

for longer than perhaps three quarters of an hour -

:10:56.:10:57.

which is the time that you have to rest up every so often -

:10:58.:11:01.

unless you are parked in an authorised place.

:11:02.:11:03.

But the big question - you would pay to build the parks?

:11:04.:11:12.

Simon Jones joins us live from Dover.

:11:13.:11:14.

Simon, how likely are these proposed lorry parks to become a reality?

:11:15.:11:23.

It's going to be tricky. To show you why residents say action is needed

:11:24.:11:29.

now, take a look at the hedgerow that. It is strewn with litter that

:11:30.:11:35.

people say, from lorry drivers. Some brands there are clearly from abroad

:11:36.:11:38.

and down the road we've seen a number of lorry drivers parking up

:11:39.:11:43.

for the night. The big challenge is, even if land is found for new lorry

:11:44.:11:46.

parks, it has to go through the planning process. That is likely to

:11:47.:11:50.

be controversial and there is the cash needed. Kent County Council

:11:51.:11:55.

says it won't pay, it would need the private sector. That will only

:11:56.:11:58.

happen if they get the change in the law. Thank you.

:11:59.:12:00.

A Kent pub has been destroyed by fire.

:12:01.:12:02.

Fire crews rescued a man from a flat above the Victoria Cross

:12:03.:12:05.

pub in Chatham in the early hours of this morning.

:12:06.:12:07.

Local people were asked to keep their doors and windows

:12:08.:12:09.

closed because of the risk of breathing in toxic smoke.

:12:10.:12:19.

Hundreds of headteachers in West Sussex have written to MPs

:12:20.:12:21.

warning that the government's latest funding settlement has failed

:12:22.:12:24.

to tackle "extremely bleak" budget shortfalls.

:12:25.:12:29.

Their letter asks politicians to decide how they should cut

:12:30.:12:32.

spending - whether to lay off teaching staff, reduce

:12:33.:12:34.

school opening hours, or axe services for pupils.

:12:35.:12:36.

The Government launched a new schools funding

:12:37.:12:37.

formula last month - but campaigners in West Sussex say

:12:38.:12:40.

they're still getting a raw deal, as our Education Correspondent

:12:41.:12:42.

If you think about that one, you have just told me that from your own

:12:43.:12:56.

knowledge. Rated outstanding by Ofsted this week, Downs community

:12:57.:13:01.

School is one of many in West Sussex to be high performing. Last month,

:13:02.:13:04.

it was announced West Sussex schools would get more money, but they say

:13:05.:13:10.

they are still the bottom of the pile. Generally in West Sussex,

:13:11.:13:14.

heads and those involved in schools really think we are approaching a

:13:15.:13:19.

tipping point and that is, will we be able to continue to provide the

:13:20.:13:22.

quality education that we've been able to provide up to now? And so

:13:23.:13:26.

the tipping point means that we are really looking at class sizes, what

:13:27.:13:31.

can we do to survive in this funding situation? The head teacher here was

:13:32.:13:37.

one of 300 in the county to write to MPs will stop in the letter, they

:13:38.:13:41.

say proposals under the new funding formula do not provide meaningful

:13:42.:13:49.

remedy. No matter how clearly we state our position, Newell

:13:50.:13:52.

improvements are made. They accuse... All of West Sussex MPs

:13:53.:14:00.

have joined together to make the case for interim school funding and

:14:01.:14:04.

supported the teachers campaign which has already seen them handed a

:14:05.:14:09.

petition to Downing Street. So far, there has been no resolution.

:14:10.:14:13.

Parents here are concerned. If the funding isn't improved, obviously we

:14:14.:14:20.

cannot be sure that the same amount of classes will be available. If

:14:21.:14:24.

class sizes go up, children get less attention in classes. There is such

:14:25.:14:28.

a range of things on offer here, if that was reduced, that would really

:14:29.:14:35.

concern me. The Department for Education says overall funding for

:14:36.:14:37.

West Sussex schools will go up by 3.5% under the new proposals and

:14:38.:14:44.

that it will work according to peoples' needs rather than their

:14:45.:14:46.

postcode. This is our top story tonight:

:14:47.:14:53.

Two men have handed themselves in after a pedestrian was killed

:14:54.:14:55.

in Brighton city centre - hit The 78-year-old man died last

:14:56.:14:58.

night, after he was hit The Independent Police Complaints

:14:59.:15:02.

Commission is investigating. There is so much we can teach you.

:15:03.:15:18.

We've improved the lives of savages all over the world. Savages? Not

:15:19.:15:24.

that you are savages. Just my people!

:15:25.:15:26.

Remembering the real Pocahontas - who died 400 years ago in Kent.

:15:27.:15:33.

With no end in sight to the bitter industrial dispute that's brought

:15:34.:15:36.

the Southern Rail network to a halt again today, local

:15:37.:15:38.

businesses say it's having a devastating impact on trade.

:15:39.:15:43.

It's estimated that the strikes will have cost the UK economy almost

:15:44.:15:46.

?400 million pounds by the end of this month.

:15:47.:15:48.

And house prices across the Southern network area

:15:49.:15:53.

have grown by just 1.4% over the past six months -

:15:54.:15:58.

compared to a 3% average elsewhere in the UK.

:15:59.:16:01.

And some small businesses in Sussex say their takings have

:16:02.:16:03.

Our reporter Ellie Crisell is in Eastbourne -

:16:04.:16:07.

how are people coping there after another

:16:08.:16:08.

It's very difficult here. It's been extremely quiet. It is the 32nd day

:16:09.:16:26.

of strike action since last April and businesses in places like here

:16:27.:16:29.

in Eastbourne are starting to feel the bite. Some small business owners

:16:30.:16:33.

told me today that things are reaching crisis point.

:16:34.:16:37.

Empty trains, an empty station and an empty shop. A lack of football at

:16:38.:16:44.

Eastbourne station means a sharp downturn in business for this copy

:16:45.:16:47.

shop owner. It is heartbreaking because we feel we are held ransom

:16:48.:16:53.

because we really do not know what we can do about things getting

:16:54.:16:57.

better. We are relying on commuters, we are losing that business because

:16:58.:17:01.

people are losing confidence. Half of the staff have been laid off here

:17:02.:17:05.

within the last year and owner Bella is worried that instead of

:17:06.:17:08.

celebrating the cafe's third anniversary in May, she will be

:17:09.:17:13.

closing the doors forever. Other independent retailers are also

:17:14.:17:16.

suffering. I used to coming early to get the commuters going to work and

:17:17.:17:24.

stay open late. This morning, I was in at 7:30am. I had my first cousin

:17:25.:17:30.

at 9am. It is not just a lack of commuters impacting on trade. I was

:17:31.:17:34.

told by a local business consultant about the unreliable transport is

:17:35.:17:38.

preventing company growth. I'm cancelling opponents, --

:17:39.:17:43.

appointments, postponing them. It is an awful image for a professional

:17:44.:17:48.

company. The CEO Eastbourne's chamber of commerce met with the

:17:49.:17:53.

rail minister yesterday. We were concerned that it was all about

:17:54.:17:58.

commuters. It is important, don't get me wrong, but they also need to

:17:59.:18:02.

be aware of the impact it is having on the economy. We were disappointed

:18:03.:18:07.

that they actually said they are not prepared to meet with the RMT or

:18:08.:18:12.

Aslef until they suspend the strike. The stark warning here is that if

:18:13.:18:15.

the rail dispute isn't resolved soon, it will be the end of the line

:18:16.:18:19.

for many small businesses in Eastbourne.

:18:20.:18:22.

One business owner Tommy today that the impact of these rail strikes is

:18:23.:18:27.

becoming as negative on her business as the recession was and what most

:18:28.:18:31.

people seem to be saying is, they want the government to step in and

:18:32.:18:35.

sort this out before, for some businesses, it's too late. Thank

:18:36.:18:36.

you. She's probably best known

:18:37.:18:41.

to lots of people today But the reality of life

:18:42.:18:44.

for the legendary 17th century Native American Pocahontas was far

:18:45.:18:48.

removed from a children's movie. After marrying a tobacco

:18:49.:18:55.

planter in the early 1600s, she travelled to the Kent

:18:56.:18:57.

town of Gravesend. And, as Ian Palmer reports,

:18:58.:19:04.

special commemorations have been taking place there today to mark

:19:05.:19:06.

the 400th anniversary of her death. Let go! No, I'm not letting you

:19:07.:19:20.

leave. The story of Pocahontas told by Disney is a love narrative. But

:19:21.:19:25.

the tale of this remarkable woman is much more than that. She is with you

:19:26.:19:30.

to some extent because she is buried here. Here at Saint John's catholic

:19:31.:19:34.

school in Gravesend, pupils learn about the life of a woman that tried

:19:35.:19:39.

to bring Britain and the US together. She was a peace

:19:40.:19:43.

ambassador. She was able to create peace among her people and the

:19:44.:19:47.

English. Partly by that marriage. You could look at her as a diplomat,

:19:48.:19:53.

an ambassador or perhaps an intriguer, someone working between

:19:54.:19:57.

the cultures. Pocahontas was a member of a tribe. In 1616, she

:19:58.:20:02.

travelled to England with her husband John. On her way home, she

that bitterly cold weather and all that snow was actually an area of

I think my political beliefs are really quite straightforward.

:26:37.:26:40.

I believe that our country needs to work for everyone.

:26:41.:26:43.

Not just for the rich, not just for the privileged,

:26:44.:26:45.

not just for those who know the right people or who've got

:26:46.:26:48.

the loudest voices, but a country that really works for everyone,

:26:49.:26:52.

has the opportunity to be who they want to be.

:26:53.:26:56.

In order to make sure that the country works for everyone,

Standing up for the vulnerable, for the voiceless,

:27:00.:27:04.

against those who feel that they're strong and powerful.

:27:05.:27:08.

If you're doing the right thing, then you must do that however

:27:09.:27:12.

difficult it is, even if there seems to be an easier path to take.
