:00:25.:00:40.

commuters could miss out on compensation.

One of the country's top schools asks parents to pay for textbooks

because of "a perfect storm" in funding.

:00:45.:00:51.

There's always this. A sonic probe?

:00:52.:00:53.

And it's the Doctor's favourite device, but could the technology

:00:54.:00:55.

in the sonic screwdriver become a reality?

:00:56.:01:05.

The South East could grind to a standstill

:01:06.:01:09.

unless the Government makes an urgent decision on where

:01:10.:01:11.

a new crossing over the Thames should be built.

:01:12.:01:13.

That's the warning to the Chancellor tonight in a letter

:01:14.:01:16.

signed by the Federation of Small Businesses,

:01:17.:01:18.

the Port of Dover and the London Chamber of Commerce.

:01:19.:01:21.

Last year, ministers promised an announcement in due course,

:01:22.:01:24.

following the largest public consultation for a road project

:01:25.:01:27.

But as Simon Jones reports, the letter warns that ongoing

:01:28.:01:32.

A crossing that can't cope, causing gridlock on the region's roads,

:01:33.:01:44.

That's why the Federation of Small Businesses say, in addition

:01:45.:01:48.

to the Dartford Crossing, a new Lower Thames Crossing is needed now.

:01:49.:01:50.

There's real problem with traffic congestion,

:01:51.:01:52.

particularly here in Kent, but not just Kent -

:01:53.:01:55.

London, Essex too - that'll only be solved when we have

:01:56.:01:58.

So we need the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, to seize the day

:01:59.:02:03.

in the budget and take some action on this.

:02:04.:02:06.

In January last year, Highways England chose

:02:07.:02:09.

a multi-billion pound tunnel, east of Gravesend, as its preferred

:02:10.:02:12.

option, rather than another crossing at Dartford.

:02:13.:02:16.

It even produced images of what it would look like.

:02:17.:02:19.

A public consultation attracted 40,000 responses,

:02:20.:02:23.

but still no final decision from the Government.

:02:24.:02:26.

In a letter to be published in tomorrow's City AM newspaper,

:02:27.:02:29.

the Federation, along with the Freight Transport

:02:30.:02:31.

Association, the Port of Dover and the London Chamber

:02:32.:02:34.

of Commerce say the Dartford Crossing

:02:35.:02:36.

is creaking under the pressure of 50 million crossing a year.

:02:37.:02:41.

That threatens to bring the South East to a standstill.

:02:42.:02:43.

The Government's promise to make a decision in due course

:02:44.:02:46.

I think it's disgusting that they've never made it good.

:02:47.:02:58.

How much do you think a new crossing is needed?

:02:59.:03:00.

No-one wants it on their doorstep, but it's definitely needed.

:03:01.:03:04.

As soon as you get a snarl on the M25, an accident, that's it,

:03:05.:03:09.

it just snags all the way back for hours.

:03:10.:03:11.

The people in Dartford are held up for hours and hours.

:03:12.:03:13.

There have been protests against the possible

:03:14.:03:15.

The Department for Transport said today it recognised

:03:16.:03:19.

But said, again, a decision will be taken in due course.

:03:20.:03:25.

I'm optimistic that we'll actually get a decision this month.

:03:26.:03:28.

It's important we get the right decision that

:03:29.:03:31.

Soon as we get the decision, we can get on with building it.

:03:32.:03:37.

All eyes will now be on the Chancellor next week.

:03:38.:03:40.

Simon Jones with that report, and he's live

:03:41.:03:42.

Simon, why is this decision taking so long?

:03:43.:03:53.

The Government wasn't able to clarify today what exactly it means

:03:54.:03:59.

by those three words - in due course. To be fair, it's

:04:00.:04:06.

sifting through 47,000 responses to the public consultation. That was

:04:07.:04:09.

the biggest response ever for a project of this kind. Whichever

:04:10.:04:14.

decision it takes, it is going to prove controversial. The doctorate

:04:15.:04:17.

MP says you can't build a new crossing here, because it will bring

:04:18.:04:21.

more traffic into Dartford. It should be built near Gravesend. The

:04:22.:04:26.

Gravesend MP that should bring 30 years of misery on the M25.

:04:27.:04:28.

The mother of a teenage cyclist who died after being hit by a van

:04:29.:04:32.

says tough new penalties for motorists who use

:04:33.:04:34.

their mobile phone at the wheel do not go far enough.

:04:35.:04:36.

Daniel Squire was just 18 when he was killed near Deal

:04:37.:04:39.

by a driver who admitted he'd been sending text messages

:04:40.:04:41.

From today, the penalties for drivers caught

:04:42.:04:44.

using their phones have been increased to a ?200 fine

:04:45.:04:46.

and six points - meaning newly qualified drivers

:04:47.:04:48.

could lose their licence for a single offence.

:04:49.:04:51.

Cyclist Daniel Squire died after was hit by a ban on the A258 new Deal.

:04:52.:05:06.

The driver, who was cleared of causing his death, admitted in court

:05:07.:05:09.

he had been texting earlier in his journey. From today, penalties for

:05:10.:05:13.

using a phone at the wheel have doubled. Six points on your driving

:05:14.:05:19.

licence, and a ?200 fine. But Daniel Squire's mother believed the new

:05:20.:05:23.

rules don't go far enough. I do believe there has been a step

:05:24.:05:28.

forward today, and that's great. I'm not sure whether it's enough. I am

:05:29.:05:34.

not sure if it's deterrent. I think it should be an instant ban if

:05:35.:05:37.

you're caught using your phone, particularly texting, it should be

:05:38.:05:45.

an instant ban. For me it's words - not possibly worse, but it comes in

:05:46.:05:48.

the same frame as drink-driving. According to the AA trust, texting

:05:49.:05:56.

at the wheel caused 440 crashes at the wheel, and 22 deaths. In a

:05:57.:06:03.

single crackdown, the police issued 7800 fixed penalty notices.

:06:04.:06:08.

This driver was spotted holding her phone to plot a route.

:06:09.:06:12.

You had both hands on top of the steering wheel, you aware it's going

:06:13.:06:19.

to change? Six points, judge pound fine and no option of any sort of

:06:20.:06:24.

education course. Today is it changes, in the wake of

:06:25.:06:32.

the hard-hitting advertising campaign.

:06:33.:06:34.

Today, the modern cars have everything built into them that is

:06:35.:06:39.

ready to use. The people who feel generally obliged to use their

:06:40.:06:43.

phones, that the phones do a huge amount for them automatically while

:06:44.:06:46.

driving. It is a needless and selfish act

:06:47.:06:49.

when you're driving. You're potentially in charge of a vehicle

:06:50.:06:57.

that's able to kill somebody. She says she's keen to see if that

:06:58.:07:01.

offer new rules will have an effect in reducing the number of road

:07:02.:07:02.

accidents. Charlie Rose with that

:07:03.:07:03.

report, and he's live It tragic story, but it seems the

:07:04.:07:13.

police have a tough job on the hands to get people. Using their phones at

:07:14.:07:19.

the wheels of their cars? Yes, the most recent report from the

:07:20.:07:23.

RAC found that 31% of drivers admitted to using a hand-held device

:07:24.:07:28.

at the wheel, compared to 8%two years ago. Clearly, the police

:07:29.:07:33.

continue to have their work cut out. Campaigners say a big part of the

:07:34.:07:36.

problem is having these at the wheel, which is proving too

:07:37.:07:40.

tempting, having them inside the car. Perhaps the solution is to have

:07:41.:07:43.

them safely stashed away in the glove box.

:07:44.:07:44.

Thank you. The first aider honoured

:07:45.:07:45.

for his efforts to save lives when seven men drowned last summer

:07:46.:07:49.

at Camber Sands. Tens of thousands of Southern Rail

:07:50.:07:56.

commuters could miss out on compensation for the poor service

:07:57.:07:59.

they've received over the last year because of the way they

:08:00.:08:02.

bought their ticket. That's the claim tonight from Labour

:08:03.:08:06.

members of the London Assembly. They say a Government scheme

:08:07.:08:09.

to refund passengers affected by months of industrial action

:08:10.:08:11.

on the Southern network will only benefit season ticket holders

:08:12.:08:14.

and some Travelcard users, but not those who've paid

:08:15.:08:18.

for journeys using a contactless When the Government stumped up a

:08:19.:08:42.

multi-million pound compensation fund, it wasn't a moment too soon

:08:43.:08:46.

for passengers. Now there's concern that many passengers won't get a

:08:47.:08:49.

penny of it. Everyone uses their southern rail

:08:50.:08:57.

service,, you may be commuting from London Bridge to Brighton, it is the

:08:58.:09:01.

basic principle of furnishing, everyone uses the same train, they

:09:02.:09:05.

should be audible for the same compensation.

:09:06.:09:08.

The issue was that the compensation was only for those who have season

:09:09.:09:14.

tickets. A year's ticket got a month costs back. Others are proportion of

:09:15.:09:18.

that. But those who pay on the day get nothing from the Government

:09:19.:09:24.

part. One MP says there's simpler way to compensate everyone.

:09:25.:09:27.

My view is that there should be a straightforward four reduction until

:09:28.:09:30.

they have the service back into the ship the desire to be, perhaps when

:09:31.:09:34.

the London Bridge work to complete. That should be away giving

:09:35.:09:39.

across-the-board compensation to everyone.

:09:40.:09:42.

Pay-as-you-go passengers can still claim on a journey by Jenny kisses,

:09:43.:09:45.

but the time it takes a fairly off-putting for some.

:09:46.:09:53.

-- you are trying to claw back as much viewed as possible, I can't be

:09:54.:09:57.

bothered to do that. I did it on the internet, but got in

:09:58.:10:01.

such a model I gave up. I wanted to do it, but too busy,

:10:02.:10:06.

that's that. Some delays were out of Southern's

:10:07.:10:11.

hands, problems of the track, for example. But others were caused by

:10:12.:10:16.

their performance and strikes over the toxic issue of drivers operating

:10:17.:10:18.

the doors. -- by poor performance. Sara Smith with that report - she's

month. Both sides are back on the table today, but the Senedd won't

:10:41.:10:43.

make any comments and told they have a breakthrough. They have said they

:10:44.:10:50.

are working to ensure there will be no more driver walk-outs. The RMT

:10:51.:10:54.

have a subtly different take on things, they have a 24 hour strike

journeys, and car traffic also One of the best-performing schools

:11:38.:11:43.

in the country is asking parents to pay for new GCSE textbooks,

:11:44.:11:50.

saying that Government changes to the exam syllabus mean

:11:51.:11:52.

existing books are obsolete. The headteacher of the Skinners'

:11:53.:11:57.

School in Tunbridge Wells says he's facing a "perfect storm"

:11:58.:12:00.

and can't afford to buy It comes as schools

:12:01.:12:03.

across the South East complain of a crisis in funding,

:12:04.:12:08.

with some warning they may have to axe subjects and increase class

:12:09.:12:11.

sizes to cope with tighter budgets. Our education correspondent

:12:12.:12:15.

Bryony MacKenzie has the details. With exam reform comes

:12:16.:12:19.

a need for new textbooks. Skinner's School says the books

:12:20.:12:21.

for compulsory subjects of science and religious studies

:12:22.:12:27.

will cost ?20,000. They're essential for maintaining

:12:28.:12:30.

educational excellence. But they say the financial

:12:31.:12:34.

impact is crippling. I have to confess, the number

:12:35.:12:38.

of times we're asking parents We constantly have to review

:12:39.:12:40.

whether we can do the same as we've done before,

:12:41.:12:45.

and whether we can afford to run as many subjects

:12:46.:12:47.

to have reasonably small We're having to make

:12:48.:12:50.

funding decisions, really, The letter says reformed GCSEs

:12:51.:12:54.

and A-levels have left the school Old textbooks have been rendered

:12:55.:13:00.

effectively useless, creating a demand for new materials

:13:01.:13:05.

that is financially insupportable. Parents are increasingly

:13:06.:13:11.

being asked for more money, Cranbrook, another Kent grammar,

:13:12.:13:15.

recently asked parents for ?180 You go into a shop and spend ?60

:13:16.:13:21.

on a new pair of shoes So if it's to help out the kids,

:13:22.:13:33.

that's what it's all about, I think. If schools are actually needing

:13:34.:13:38.

to find that money, I think, initially, they should try to find

:13:39.:13:40.

it from somewhere else. A think it is unusual,

:13:41.:13:43.

but it's unusual for them to be It's chicken and egg,

:13:44.:13:46.

what do they do, not provide the education

:13:47.:13:54.

that the children need? The Government should be

:13:55.:13:56.

funding our education properly. What we're seeing in the NUT is that

:13:57.:13:57.

98% of all the schools in England are facing real-terms

:13:58.:14:01.

reductions in their budgets. So many schools are

:14:02.:14:03.

doing things like this. The Government says school

:14:04.:14:09.

funding is now fairer, with half of all schools

:14:10.:14:12.

getting a cash boost. It also says schools can only charge

:14:13.:14:15.

for materials if the pupils Bryony MacKenzie is

:14:16.:14:18.

here in the studio. How typical is this of what's

:14:19.:14:24.

happening in schools This is happening at schools in east

:14:25.:14:39.

Sussex and Brighton Hove Albion well. Some have told me they've

:14:40.:14:43.

already budgeted with these changes in mind. Some are buying fewer

:14:44.:14:47.

textbooks and asking pupils to share. One parent in north Kent said

:14:48.:14:51.

his school told them if they want to take their books home to revise

:14:52.:14:54.

reducing these, then they would have to paper them. Of course Skinner's

:14:55.:15:01.

School is a grammar school, and why they may be bit above average for

:15:02.:15:06.

their income level, there are one of the worst-funded schools in the

:15:07.:15:10.

country, because they have fewer children from disadvantaged

:15:11.:15:14.

backgrounds. This comes in the midst of huge funding change from the

:15:15.:15:17.

Department for Education. They say schools will be better funded, but

:15:18.:15:21.

there are winners and losers, and the losers will have to make their

:15:22.:15:22.

budgets work. The South East could

:15:23.:15:24.

grind to a standstill unless the Government makes

:15:25.:15:28.

an urgent decision on where a new crossing over

:15:29.:15:30.

the Thames should be built. That's the warning to the Chancellor

:15:31.:15:33.

tonight in a letter signed by the Federation

:15:34.:15:35.

of Small Businesses, the Port of Dover and the London

:15:36.:15:37.

Chamber of Commerce. The freak goal that helped knock

turned wet and windy. Some sunshine and milder weather on the way for

in the programme. A volunteer first aider who tried

:16:08.:16:13.

to save lives at two separate drowning tragedies at Camber Sands

:16:14.:16:16.

last summer has been honoured by the South East

:16:17.:16:18.

Coast Ambulance Service. Seven men drowned while swimming off

:16:19.:16:20.

the beach near Rye in East Sussex. Sam Carter, who lives and works

:16:21.:16:23.

nearby, says he need counselling to help come to terms

:16:24.:16:26.

with what happened. He's been speaking to Jon Hunt

:16:27.:16:29.

for tonight's special report. A volunteer life-saver. Last summer,

:16:30.:16:42.

Sam Carter was one of the first on the scene of two separate major

:16:43.:16:47.

drowning incidents at camber Sands. In their tenure I'm been doing this,

:16:48.:16:52.

that was the worst month I've ever known.

:16:53.:16:56.

In August last year, five young men from London drowned out of sync

:16:57.:17:00.

Camber on a day trip. The previous month, two other men also died here.

:17:01.:17:05.

Sam Carter try to save lives each time. The fact he was unable to,

:17:06.:17:09.

he's bounced of God to cope with. I have had cancelling. -- he's band

:17:10.:17:15.

difficult to cope with. We find it difficult get them back,

:17:16.:17:21.

you ask yourself, it did you do everything right. It plays in your

:17:22.:17:26.

mind. This week, the council announced

:17:27.:17:29.

lifeguards will patrol the beach in the summer following calls from the

:17:30.:17:32.

men of the families who died. -- families of the men who died. The

:17:33.:17:38.

beach is remote and difficult when busy for emergency vehicles to

:17:39.:17:42.

access. Hence why volunteers like Sam are on call nearby.

:17:43.:17:46.

His efforts on that day, urinate can't underestimate what he did. It

:17:47.:17:53.

was a very tough call that people who have been in the Ambulance

:17:54.:17:57.

Service years have struggled with. Sam Carter has been a community

:17:58.:18:03.

first responder here since 2010. In his first year doing it, he

:18:04.:18:07.

responded to 700 agencies. In giving him this reward for voluntary

service for in the Desi last summer, sadly scales Anne Boleyn servers

I can't think of anything that would compare to what Salmons had to go

through, and I been to lots things in my career.

:18:30.:18:35.

Sam says he volunteers for the role to give something back to the

:18:36.:18:36.

community. The science of sound

:18:37.:18:41.

has led to a host of technological breakthroughs -

:18:42.:18:43.

there's sonar and ultrasound - and sound waves can even be used

:18:44.:18:46.

to measure the temperature Now academics at the University

:18:47.:18:49.

of Sussex believe they're on the brink of a new

:18:50.:18:54.

transformation, thanks to little more than a 3D printer and some

:18:55.:18:57.

small plastic bricks. They've created so-called sound

:18:58.:19:01.

lenses, which could have a host of applications in engineering,

:19:02.:19:05.

medicine and at home. Piers Hopkirk has been

:19:06.:19:08.

finding out more. This is a sonic screwdriver. Where

:19:09.:19:21.

can I demonstrate? That revolver will do. It's all right.

:19:22.:19:27.

Dr Who's the Masonic strew Graber may seem the stuff of science

:19:28.:19:32.

fiction, but the technology of TV's best for time traveller may be

:19:33.:19:36.

closer to home then you think. Research is here at the University

:19:37.:19:40.

of Sussex have devised a series of so-called sounder lenses, which,
