:02:48. > :02:52.thing, it is... What is the point in going on strike unless you hold out
:02:53. > :02:55.for what you -- what your true beliefs and principles are? The
:02:56. > :02:59.result was a stunning blow for the readers of Aslef, members nearly
:03:00. > :03:09.always accept the recommendations but not this time. Although it was
:03:10. > :03:15.close. Just under 700 members voted, issued under 300 of the membership.
:03:16. > :03:19.It was a vote of loyalty, and -- from the drivers union to the
:03:20. > :03:24.conductor 's union. Athletically drivers obviously share the concerns
:03:25. > :03:31.of our members, the deal on offer did not guarantee a second safety
:03:32. > :03:36.critical person in every train. Clearly this was not acceptable.
:03:37. > :03:39.Passengers were hoping for a different outcome but there have
:03:40. > :03:42.been warnings that might end like this. Earlier this week and Aslef
:03:43. > :03:46.drivers still led why they simply could not accept the deal that still
:03:47. > :03:49.allowed trains to be driven in exceptional circumstances about the
:03:50. > :03:56.second member of staff on board. He spoke to us anonymously. The content
:03:57. > :04:00.we have at that eventually someone will get trapped in the door, the
:04:01. > :04:05.driver would see them on the cameras which are very poor at the moment
:04:06. > :04:10.and we will end up in court. Neither Sun nor has left's leaders were
:04:11. > :04:14.giving interviews but local MPs were. The unions must understand the
:04:15. > :04:20.impact they are having on the people they serve and the people I
:04:21. > :04:25.represent. Industrial action is not the way to settle the points at
:04:26. > :04:28.issue here. What is at stake is passenger safety and I am persuaded
:04:29. > :04:32.that when you have a very long trains, 12 carriage trains, when you
:04:33. > :04:35.have them increasingly going through stations that are not staffed
:04:36. > :04:38.because staff are being cut back then if there is an accident god
:04:39. > :04:42.forbid the having the second safety critical person on the train helps
:04:43. > :04:46.to save lives and that is the bottom line. In a statement Southern Rail
:04:47. > :04:50.said it was hugely disappointed by the news, conductors have been given
:04:51. > :04:52.heart. Passengers remain caught in the middle.
:04:53. > :04:54.Well industrial action has been affecting Southern since
:04:55. > :04:56.last April - when conductors who are members
:04:57. > :04:59.of the RMT union first walked out - over changes to the roles
:05:00. > :05:02.of conductors and claims that driver only operated trains are unsafe.

:05:20. > :05:32.Passengers have put up with terrible performance and inconvenience to the
:05:33. > :05:36.lives for months and months, this look like a resolution had been
:05:37. > :05:38.found and now it seems like we are not quite there yet so it is
:05:39. > :05:42.extremely important that all the parties get back around the table
:05:43. > :05:44.and ensure that a quick resolution is found.
:05:45. > :05:47.Well it's not just strike action by Aslef and the RMT commuters
:05:48. > :05:48.have had to deal with, Southern's poor performance,
:05:49. > :05:51.combined with industrial action, has cost the UK economy.
:05:52. > :05:59.And it's been calculated more than 300,000 south east
:06:00. > :06:04.commuters have been affected by the on going problems.
:06:05. > :06:06.Well let's cross to our reporter in Brighton John Young.
:06:07. > :06:17.John where do the interested parties go from here?
:06:18. > :06:22.All of the interested parties it seems have been issuing statements
:06:23. > :06:27.today but once you read then you realise they do not add much.
:06:28. > :06:30.Southern have said we will be seeking to meet with the union as
:06:31. > :06:33.soon as possible to see how we can agree a new way forward and then
:06:34. > :06:37.they say we need to understand the issues which led to this outcome.
:06:38. > :06:42.Many people are saying surely you know what the issues are, they have
:06:43. > :06:45.been out there for ten months. RMT have issued a statement saying let's
:06:46. > :06:51.get back around the table, the strike appears to be going ahead on
:06:52. > :06:53.the 22nd of February next Wednesday. Interestingly, most interestingly,
:06:54. > :06:56.the government has issued a statement and in the past they kept
:06:57. > :07:01.their head down but the statement says Ray Little, it says the union
:07:02. > :07:06.leadership must now return to talks at work with the members. In summary
:07:07. > :07:09.tonight the same phrases and arguments, the same mutual
:07:10. > :07:12.incomprehension and four passengers the same sense of despair.
:07:13. > :07:14.Well Briohny Williams joins from outside ASLEF's
:07:15. > :07:23.I understand you been speak to officials there?
:07:24. > :07:29.Yes, a source told me this evening that they are keen to get back
:07:30. > :07:32.around the negotiating table as soon as possible, which of course is a
:07:33. > :07:37.view that is echoed by Southern bosses. In more developments this
:07:38. > :07:43.afternoon Nick Cash from the RMT said he is writing to the TUC head
:07:44. > :07:47.saying that all parties need to be involved in any discussions if an
:07:48. > :07:49.agreement is going to be made that can finally put an end to this
:07:50. > :07:50.long-running dispute. Well you've been reacting
:07:51. > :07:52.to this story on email Neil Monnery tweeted - "looks
:07:53. > :07:58.like this nightmare will never end". Margaret Sharkey approves
:07:59. > :08:01.of the ballot results - she says "solidarity to Aslef

:09:58. > :10:00.could have been prevented. I think it should be offered,

:11:17. > :11:19.good deal of sympathy for the family but in reality it is going to be a
:11:20. > :11:25.tough fight because they would have to change the opinion of the medical

:17:14. > :17:16.must get our money to build a replacement home.
:17:17. > :17:18.It is always a big ask about the right to buy,

:18:39. > :18:42.that they were disgusting revolting and offensive meant they were taken
:18:43. > :18:46.down. It didn't upset me, I don't know whether it is because it is
:18:47. > :18:52.black and white or because a photograph says something different
:18:53. > :18:56.to people, I can't work it out myself. It is very interesting. The
:18:57. > :19:02.photos form part of an exhibition celebrating romance in part. They
:19:03. > :19:06.are absolutely beautiful. You can understand why people would find
:19:07. > :19:13.them offensive. I don't see any problems with it. I would not be
:19:14. > :19:16.offended. What is interesting is the our other depictions of nudity in
:19:17. > :19:18.the exhibition at the paintings or sculptures and none of them have led
:19:19. > :19:37.to any complaints. The pictures were removed for a week
:19:38. > :19:41.but the colour was contacted by more people saying they should be put

:23:13. > :23:15.the RMT, calling a strike next week, are commuters in line
:23:16. > :23:31.for more misery? There is no doubt they are facing
:23:32. > :23:35.more misery, which brings us back to the heart of why is this happening

:23:47. > :23:50.technology and smarter ways of delivering a modern real service
:23:51. > :23:56.that the whole country needs. So for them this misery perhaps is about
:23:57. > :23:59.improving services across the country but for so many other people
:24:00. > :24:03.as we have seen so many unions and politicians and some passengers the
:24:04. > :24:08.safety issue is more important and this is not a price worth paying.
:24:09. > :24:12.That is where we are today but as you said more ahead -- more meetings
:24:13. > :24:17.ahead and the schedule for the 22nd of February.
:24:18. > :24:22.And back to Briony Williams who is at the Aslef headquarters in central
:24:23. > :24:26.London. When do you think the unions and Southern are likely to get back
:24:27. > :24:30.around the table? The simple answer is that we just
:24:31. > :24:34.don't know at the moment, although I have spoken to the conciliation
:24:35. > :24:39.service but those talks would resume and take place and they told me they
:24:40. > :24:43.have not heard from either party at the moment but the doors are always
:24:44. > :24:50.open so that the moment it is just more uncertainty for passengers. At
:24:51. > :24:54.least the weather will give us something to be cheerful about. We
:24:55. > :25:00.will come to that in a moment. But to remind you you can get the latest
:25:01. > :25:02.on the BBC local life pages in Kent and Sarah -- Kent and Sussex and
:25:03. > :25:06.have your say on the real situation on Facebook and Twitter.
:25:07. > :25:14.Now we look into whether! Which has been lovely and springlike. By
:25:15. > :25:17.Monday we could have highs of 15. Temperatures really warming up.
:25:18. > :25:23.Today of course we have quietly misty bogey start, clear blue skies.
:25:24. > :25:27.The most part during the afternoon. Temperatures around 12 degrees. So
:25:28. > :25:31.tonight we have a weakening weather fronts there will be more cloud when
:25:32. > :25:34.we hold onto clear skies, lighter winds and once again there will be
:25:35. > :25:39.missed in full. The rain is not particularly heavy for some of us
:25:40. > :25:43.there will be a can start to the day and again very mild. The overnight
:25:44. > :25:46.temperatures are around seven or 8 degrees and those are the sorts of
:25:47. > :25:51.values we would expect to see during the afternoon at this time of year.
:25:52. > :25:54.Very mild, misty and Mark yet to start the day, by the afternoon the
:25:55. > :25:59.front of cleared and we have this area of high pressure but not quite
:26:00. > :26:03.as much sunshine yesterday. Some sunny spells but we do hold onto a
:26:04. > :26:06.lot of this cloud cover, it stays mild and by the afternoon
:26:07. > :26:11.temperatures once again widely should be in double figures, picking
:26:12. > :26:15.up to around ten or 11 degrees and again with these really liked
:26:16. > :26:19.south-westerly breeze is. From Friday to Saturday again it is mild,
:26:20. > :26:24.overnight temperatures only dropping to around 5 degrees so where we see
:26:25. > :26:28.the clear skies once again there will be some mist and fog around and
:26:29. > :26:33.temperatures in more rural spots perhaps dropping to four or five but
:26:34. > :26:37.you will really notice it is a mild misty start to the weekend. As she
:26:38. > :26:41.has a Saturday and Sunday it is going to be stay miles, mostly we
:26:42. > :26:46.should be dry but there is the risk that we could be seeing some rain on
:26:47. > :26:49.Sunday morning. It will be mostly dry and during the afternoon the
:26:50. > :26:53.temperatures will constantly be reaching highs of 1011 degrees and
:26:54. > :26:57.particularly for Saturday the should be decent spells of sunshine as
:26:58. > :27:02.well. The weakening weather front I mentioned, we should start a scene
:27:03. > :27:05.from Saturday to Sunday, once again a mile wide with overnight
:27:06. > :27:09.temperatures of eight or 9 degrees. That front clears to Sunday with
:27:10. > :27:13.temperatures reaching 11 or 12 degrees, the winds starting to pick
:27:14. > :27:18.up but into Monday, comfortably beat could well be seen highs 15 or 16
:27:19. > :27:21.degrees. It stays breezy with outbreaks of rain as we go into
:27:22. > :27:26.Tuesday, temperatures staying in the mid teens. Over the next couple of
:27:27. > :27:30.days perhaps not quite as much sunshine but stay mild and that I
:27:31. > :27:31.mentioned in Monday it is cloudy with temperatures once again in the
:27:32. > :27:39.mid-teens. Not looking too bad overall. That
:27:40. > :27:40.aid from us this evening. We will be back with the late bulletin.
:27:41. > :27:56.Goodbye. Two challenges await you today,
:27:57. > :28:29.and our genre is Landscape. The conditions are a wee bit
:28:30. > :28:31.challenging. I've really got to
:28:32. > :28:36.convince the judges It's colourful -
:28:37. > :28:40.but it was meant to be muted.
