:00:00. > :00:10.Aslef and Southern agree a new deal to end their dispute over
:00:11. > :00:14.We'll have the latest on the situation live.
:00:15. > :00:17.An official complaint from the teenager who claims
:00:18. > :00:21.she was beaten up by her ex-boyfriend after Kent police

:00:41. > :00:42."It's a political move," says the Labour activist expelled
:00:43. > :00:48.from the party over his criminal record for breaking Iraq sanctions.
:00:49. > :00:51.And the super scaffold is up as Canterbury cathedral's
:00:52. > :01:09.A fresh deal has been agreed, aimed at resolving the bitter industrial
:01:10. > :01:11.dispute between Southern Railway and the biggest train
:01:12. > :01:18.It will now be put to Aslef members in a referendum,
:01:19. > :01:22.following a long-running row over driver-only operated trains.
:01:23. > :01:24.They rejected a previous deal between the two sides,
:01:25. > :01:27.but union leaders say they believe the new agreement offers solutions
:01:28. > :01:42.It has been deal then no deal, now it's back on again. Leaders of Aslef
:01:43. > :01:46.see the new agreement offers solutions to the concerns after
:01:47. > :01:50.their previous proposal was turned down by members last month.
:01:51. > :01:55.Commuters tonight still expressed concern. It is just lots of strike
:01:56. > :02:03.and the sable gets sorted but really I am not feeling too hopeful. The
:02:04. > :02:07.need to sort it out, it should be done months ago. The doing this, the
:02:08. > :02:13.arguing that and then they don't keep their promises. The director of
:02:14. > :02:22.the company that runs Southern, said today... He said it was an
:02:23. > :02:26.extraordinarily difficult period for passengers and looks forward to
:02:27. > :02:30.restoring good industrial relations with Aslef. I earnestly hope now
:02:31. > :02:37.they have done enough to persuade their drivers that this style of
:02:38. > :02:40.operation driver only is safe and they can vote this deal through and
:02:41. > :02:48.we can get back to a reliable service. You can bring this to an
:02:49. > :02:53.end, you can start the dad-mac stop the strike. It has been and remains
:02:54. > :02:56.an ugly sight. The disagreement over sea fishes, who closes the train
:02:57. > :03:00.doors, the changing role of the conductor, has been going on for
:03:01. > :03:06.almost an year, with the RMT taking 30 days of strike action and the
:03:07. > :03:09.most recent walk-out on Monday. It is a safety requirements and
:03:10. > :03:14.critical, they have to be there. I feel quite bitter about what has
:03:15. > :03:18.happened, but I can only assume some of the Aslef drivers who have been
:03:19. > :03:22.very supportive of my members feel exactly the same way. RMT said
:03:23. > :03:25.tonight we have not seen the detail of the proposed outline agreement
:03:26. > :03:29.are not requesting a full copy as it goes to the heart of disputes with
:03:30. > :03:31.the company. They say the RMT is pressing yet again for urgent talks
:03:32. > :03:33.with the company. Let's cross live to our
:03:34. > :03:34.reporter Juliette Parkin Juliette, fresh hope tonight
:03:35. > :03:52.for commuters desperate Yes, certainly there is hope tonight
:03:53. > :03:55.but nobody we spoke to year was optimistic at all that this new deal
:03:56. > :04:00.would go any way to ending the dispute, especially as only on
:04:01. > :04:05.Monday we saw further strike action by the RMT union which represents
:04:06. > :04:07.guards, disrupting services between each year and Eastbourne and
:04:08. > :04:11.Brighton and further along the coast. If the Aslef deal is agreed,
:04:12. > :04:16.that could go a long way to ending the dispute as the strike action had
:04:17. > :04:25.a lot more impact than the RMT's. Let's not forget the shock rejection
:04:26. > :04:27.of that last deal, people here in Eastbourne won't be celebrating
:04:28. > :04:28.until the result of that ballot on April three. Indeed, Juliet, thank
:04:29. > :04:29.you. A teenager from Kent
:04:30. > :04:31.who claims she was beaten up by her ex-boyfriend has made
:04:32. > :04:35.a formal complaint to Kent Police, after they failed to bring assault
:04:36. > :04:37.charges against him. Melissa Caffell was just 17
:04:38. > :04:39.when she suffered head injuries during an incident at her home
:04:40. > :04:42.in Teynham, near Faversham, Sean Cheeseman was
:04:43. > :04:47.convicted of criminal over her injuries,
:04:48. > :05:05.because the police didn't press Melissa was just 17 years old when
:05:06. > :05:08.she says her boyfriend lost his temper, punched in the face and
:05:09. > :05:14.smashed up a bedroom. I went to bed and he came upstairs and he started
:05:15. > :05:22.and hitting me. It was horrendous. My head hit the wall. My phone was
:05:23. > :05:26.thrown at my head. Two years later, she is receiving counselling for
:05:27. > :05:32.PTSD and still suffers from a lazy eye. I didn't want to go out, I just
:05:33. > :05:39.wanted to stay in. Not to talk to anyone. It was horrible. I have had
:05:40. > :05:42.nightmares. I get them quite often. I have flashbacks. While her
:05:43. > :05:45.boyfriend Sean Cheeseman was convicted of causing criminal
:05:46. > :05:49.damage, no charges were brought in connection with the alleged assault
:05:50. > :05:54.which he previously said was in self-defence. Melissa was told the
:05:55. > :05:57.police officer involved missed the six-month deadline. Be said because
:05:58. > :06:01.he didn't pick the evidence and within six months, that's why they
:06:02. > :06:05.didn't. This is a particularly unfortunate case where the officer
:06:06. > :06:09.has made a very honest and very genuine mistake. As a result, we
:06:10. > :06:13.have missed the opportunity to charge someone with the common
:06:14. > :06:18.assault offence. Melissa has been so distressed by what happened at home
:06:19. > :06:21.here on the street in time that she had her mum have decided to move to
:06:22. > :06:26.Wales to try and build a new life together there. But finding closure
:06:27. > :06:30.has been difficult, particularly as she feels her opportunity for
:06:31. > :06:36.justice has been denied her. -- Tainan. I have come a lot of these
:06:37. > :06:38.cases, the criminal justice system particularly since 2010 has been
:06:39. > :06:46.creaking under the weight of work and with a lack of resources. Kent
:06:47. > :06:49.Police is under Crown Prosecution Service. Melissa wants to make sure
:06:50. > :06:50.other victims of domestic violence aren't put off by her experiences
:06:51. > :06:51.from reporting what happened. Amanda Akass with that report
:06:52. > :06:57.and she's here in the studio. Melissa is not at all happy with her
:06:58. > :07:00.experience. Kent Police say dealing effectively
:07:01. > :07:08.with domestic violence I think Melissa would agree the last
:07:09. > :07:12.thing she would want from speaking out for other people to be put off
:07:13. > :07:16.coming forward, that is not what she wants to do. The police say they do
:07:17. > :07:19.take all of the report is extremely seriously, we do investigate them
:07:20. > :07:24.very thoroughly. This was a specific case where a mistake was made. The
:07:25. > :07:27.Sea victims are at the heart of what they do and they would really like
:07:28. > :07:32.to encourage anyone to come forward with any kind of domestic violence
:07:33. > :07:35.report. We did try and speak to Melissa's boyfriend to get a
:07:36. > :07:36.response from him, but he didn't want to comment at this stage.
:07:37. > :07:37.Amanda, thank you. How the biggest restoration project
:07:38. > :07:41.the National Trust has ever undertaken is bringing a Kent

:12:26. > :12:28.a political move. The dig up something
:12:29. > :12:30.which happened 17 It is trying to muddy

:13:23. > :13:28.and Mr Riad went to prison for it, he was convicted
:13:29. > :13:31.in a custodial sentence. So this is not something to be
:13:32. > :13:36.sneezed at or anything like that. It was a very serious offence, dealt

:13:46. > :13:50.for control between those who supported the leader,
:13:51. > :13:54.Jeremy Corbyn, and his opponents. This latest development suggests
:13:55. > :13:58.that row hasn't ended yet. Helen, Jeremy Corbyn has won
:13:59. > :14:05.the leadership twice now, why are we still seeing this
:14:06. > :14:15.sort of row? In the normal run of things, there
:14:16. > :14:19.is no reason Jeremy Corbyn should have been brought into this row at

:14:35. > :14:38.the level of division and distrust that still remain within Labour.
:14:39. > :14:42.That is not that much of a surprise if you think in the long-term.
:14:43. > :14:45.Jeremy Corbyn has been leader for less than two years and is moving
:14:46. > :14:50.the party away from positions they have held for the last 20. You would
:14:51. > :14:54.expect that to take time. There are signs in Brighton that perhaps it
:14:55. > :14:58.could be on the turn. The elections for the Kent town and civilian
:14:59. > :15:01.branches did go a lot more smoothly. Helen, thank you.
:15:02. > :15:04.A migrant camp near Dunkirk in northern France will be closed
:15:05. > :15:06.by the French government, after clashes there this week.
:15:07. > :15:09.The camp at Grande-Synthe houses around 1500 people,
:15:10. > :15:11.including many who say they're determined to try to
:15:12. > :15:13.smuggle themselves onto lorries bound for Kent.
:15:14. > :15:20.It's grown since last year's closure of the so-called Calais Jungle,

:15:28. > :15:41.Yes, I was over at the Dunkirk just a couple of weeks ago, squalid
:15:42. > :15:46.conditions, muddy, makeshift shelters. It feels like the Calais
:15:47. > :15:50.Jungle, albeit on a much smaller scale. The French Government has
:15:51. > :15:54.decided it must act after clashes broke out last night. In order to
:15:55. > :15:58.get into the camp, migrants need wristbands, some of them didn't have
:15:59. > :16:02.them, they set fire to a building, the riot police were called. The
:16:03. > :16:07.French Government says this is the situation cannot continue and the
:16:08. > :16:11.Dover MP Hugh agrees. The camp at Dunkirk has been a source of
:16:12. > :16:15.increasing concern ever since the Calais Jungle was dismantled. It is
:16:16. > :16:18.important this Dunkirk camp is dismantled as soon as possible and
:16:19. > :16:21.we take the battle to the people traffickers and help these
:16:22. > :16:28.vulnerable people back to their home countries as as soon as possible.
:16:29. > :16:31.But charities in northern France say you can bulldoze another camp but it
:16:32. > :16:33.won't take away the desire of people to get to northern France to get
:16:34. > :16:37.over here. Thank you, Simon. A fresh deal has been agreed, aimed

:21:17. > :21:25.bug through the charity and when he found his powered
:21:26. > :21:29.wheelchair was hindering more than helping, abandoned it
:21:30. > :21:33.to bowl on his knees. I love playing the game,
:21:34. > :21:37.I love getting out there I don't make excuses
:21:38. > :21:44.for my disability. If I want to do something,
:21:45. > :21:47.I'll go and do it. And I'll be determined
:21:48. > :21:50.to do it no matter what. And you would encourage other
:21:51. > :21:52.people to do the same? Here, training with his England
:21:53. > :21:57.team-mates, Sam Billings may have plenty to teach the youngsters
:21:58. > :22:00.he met today, but he admits being an ambassador also reminds him
:22:01. > :22:05.why he plays in the first place. I think sometimes as
:22:06. > :22:09.a pro-sportsman you can actually So it puts it in perspective
:22:10. > :22:15.and it's fantastic to see the smiles on their faces and to enjoy cricket
:22:16. > :22:23.again and really see the effects Yeah, for me, that's
:22:24. > :22:26.as good as anything. Many of these young people
:22:27. > :22:28.won't have had a chance to try cricket before and the hope
:22:29. > :22:31.is that inspired by elite players, like Sam Billings,
:22:32. > :22:32.and the determination of those with disabilities,
:22:33. > :22:36.like Sam Alderson, they'll Maybe this will be the first
:22:37. > :22:48.of many team photos. It's a grand historic
:22:49. > :22:50.mansion that was once, But crumbling walls
:22:51. > :22:54.and falling ceilings left Knole House in Sevenoaks
:22:55. > :22:57.and the treasures it contains in desperate need
:22:58. > :23:00.of some serious TLC. So it's become the focus
:23:01. > :23:03.of a restoration project costing almost 20-million pounds,
:23:04. > :23:05.the biggest National Trust A new conservation studio showcasing
:23:06. > :23:15.the work will be opened John Maguire has been finding out
:23:16. > :23:17.more. With almost six
:23:18. > :23:19.centuries of history, oldest, grandest and most important
:23:20. > :23:22.houses in the country. This is the great staircase
:23:23. > :23:26.at Knole, created at We've got, I think, probably
:23:27. > :23:30.overwhelmed by the scale of what we have here at Knole,
:23:31. > :23:36.seven acres of roof and just keeping on top
:23:37. > :23:38.maintenance of the building is an enormous task.
:23:39. > :23:40.And because the building is so old, we got to a
:23:41. > :23:43.point where actually we needed to do something,
:23:44. > :23:45.a major intervention, like a project that we are working
:23:46. > :23:49.on now, really to secure the house's future.
:23:50. > :23:54.So a state-of-the-art conservation studio will, with
:23:55. > :23:58.painstaking patience, work to protect the building and its
:23:59. > :24:03.Conservators employ the same skills and techniques that have
:24:04. > :24:06.embellished Knole for hundreds of years.
:24:07. > :24:10.I suppose the whole point of it was to show off your wealth,
:24:11. > :24:12.really? Yes.
:24:13. > :24:15.That is why, quite often in the past, re-gilding
:24:16. > :24:19.was done, because if the gold gets worn or dirty, or just
:24:20. > :24:23.really doesn't look as shiny as it could do, that was the stage where
:24:24. > :24:27.the owners would have chosen to re-gild.
:24:28. > :24:31.Through the ages, dust, rain and wood smoke have all taken their
:24:32. > :24:37.toll and this x-ray shows damaged caused by woodworm.
:24:38. > :24:39.The team has to preserve the ornate and the
:24:40. > :24:41.elaborate of Knole's past while ensuring the health
:24:42. > :24:44.and the safety requirements of the present to
:24:45. > :24:47.protect not only the house itself but also those who come here to
:24:48. > :25:01.That was John Maguire, at Knole House in Sevenoaks.
:25:02. > :25:07.Rachel, you are looking very springlike.
:25:08. > :25:15.Top temperatures of 19 degrees, the warmest day of the year so far. For
:25:16. > :25:19.the most part, clear blue skies, hardly a cloud and really liked
:25:20. > :25:23.winds. All of us across the board seen temperatures well above the
:25:24. > :25:27.seasonal average. Is it going to last? For tomorrow again it should
:25:28. > :25:31.be mostly dry, by the afternoon, temperatures a shakedown on today
:25:32. > :25:36.but mild for the time of year. As we look towards Friday, and the
:25:37. > :25:40.weekend, it is going to be cooler, windier and wetter, particularly by
:25:41. > :25:45.Saturday. It stays dry through tonight. Overnight temperatures very
:25:46. > :25:48.mild, only dropping to eight, 9 degrees. These are the values we
:25:49. > :25:53.would expect to see during the day at this time of year. Mild and quite
:25:54. > :25:58.cloudy, misty and murky as we start the day. Mostly it is a quiet day,
:25:59. > :26:02.eventually we have got this cold front, we start to see more cloud
:26:03. > :26:07.cover as we head to the tail end of the afternoon. Staying dry during
:26:08. > :26:10.daylight hours, but will start to see some rain. Temperatures tomorrow
:26:11. > :26:17.a shakedown on today but still in the low to mid teens, highs of 1314
:26:18. > :26:22.degrees possible. Thursday into Friday, we see the cold front,

:26:29. > :26:32.on Friday, quite mild, four or 5 degrees, all change as we look
