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

:00:00.:00:07.

Train drivers reject the latest deal to end their bitter dispute over

:00:08.:00:12.

It's great fun because we're all going to be

:00:13.:00:17.

I am exasperated by the whole thing really.

:00:18.:00:27.

We'll bring reaction and analysis from our reporters, live.

:00:28.:00:29.

Stalked by a killer - the woman who says she wishes she'd

:00:30.:00:32.

gone to the police when Michael Lane harrassed her,

:00:33.:00:34.

I did get messages saying, "I can see you."

:00:35.:00:37.

You know, I would look out the window and

:00:38.:00:39.

I could see him parked outside my house.

:00:40.:00:41.

Life sentences for the "dangerous, ruthless criminals" who poured

:00:42.:00:48.

boiling water on a couple to steal ?50,000.

:00:49.:00:51.

how, after decades of neglect and a devastating fire, Hastings has

:00:52.:00:55.

how the south east helped to shape the Beatles iconic

:00:56.:01:05.

Train drivers on Southern Rail have voted to reject the latest deal

:01:06.:01:26.

to end their long-running industrial action over

:01:27.:01:28.

The ballot result is an embarrassment to leaders

:01:29.:01:33.

of the Aslef train drivers' union who recommended their members

:01:34.:01:36.

However, it was a close vote - with just over 50% of members

:01:37.:01:40.

Now the management at Southern are now seeking fresh

:01:41.:01:47.

talks with the union - but its not clear when, or if,

:01:48.:01:50.

The RMT union, which represents conductors, was not part of the deal

:01:51.:01:53.

There were high hopes that the second deal struck with Aslef would

:01:54.:02:02.

see the beginning of the end of this long and painful industrial dispute.

:02:03.:02:05.

Instead the train drivers have rebelled against their own union

:02:06.:02:09.

leaders, plunging commuters back into uncertainty. They are not

:02:10.:02:14.

caring about the public, they are messing us around. It is time they

:02:15.:02:20.

get a grip and get back to work. It is an inconvenience to have trained

counsellor, especially when you are on a trip to London, and connecting

:02:25.:02:29.

train. They need to get together and obviously they are trying but I am a

:02:30.:02:33.

bit confused. Is there something else going on here? The suggestions

:02:34.:02:37.

have been made that this is not actually about the issues at stake.

:02:38.:02:42.

This is about the political campaign about the ownership and management

:02:43.:02:45.

of the railway and this is not the right way to perceive those issues.

:02:46.:02:50.

The central issue of the dispute has always been Southern pot plan to

:02:51.:02:54.

change the role of guards do on both supervisors. Giving the driver is

:02:55.:02:58.

the responsibility for operating the door. Southern have argued they were

:02:59.:03:02.

the their safety critical person on-board except in exceptional

:03:03.:03:08.

circumstances. The deals have focused on what those circumstances

:03:09.:03:11.

might be. The latest deal reduced that list of acceptable reasons from

:03:12.:03:15.

running a train with only the driver on board, lateness is no longer

:03:16.:03:19.

wanted them. Southern author agreed to roll out improve the CCTV cameras

:03:20.:03:23.

a year earlier and an bald supervisors were set to receive

:03:24.:03:29.

extra safety training. The RMT union argued this is basically the same

:03:30.:03:34.

deal in a new envelope. This referendum result today proves that

:03:35.:03:40.

there is a genuine concern among Aslef members and the executive are

:03:41.:03:46.

out of touch with reality, persistently trying to renegotiate

:03:47.:03:51.

something which is unacceptable to the members. In view of the fact

:03:52.:03:57.

that this is the second time a leadership recommendation has been

:03:58.:04:02.

rejected, in my view, the leaders, if they have any integrity at all,

:04:03.:04:06.

they should seriously be considering their position and indeed possibly

:04:07.:04:10.

resigning. Both sides say they are prepared to sit down together for

:04:11.:04:16.

new talks and understand the issues. This evening, about understanding

:04:17.:04:22.

seems as remit as ever. -- as remote.

:04:23.:04:23.

Amanda is at Three Bridges station now.

:04:24.:04:27.

We know that after the previous deal collapsed in February, it took three

:04:28.:04:39.

weeks of talks on them to be reached this new agreement. There are into

:04:40.:04:45.

the long haul though both sides have said to us this evening they are

:04:46.:04:51.

determined to return fairly, in Tideway, house back to the table to

:04:52.:04:59.

resume discussions, welcomed by MPs. Southern have talks planned with the

:05:00.:05:05.

RMT union, a separate dispute is continuing, their 30 Thursday of

:05:06.:05:07.

strike action is due for Saturday. The Adrian Russell -- the day of the

:05:08.:05:20.

marathon. They say a train should not run without a second person

:05:21.:05:22.

on-board under any circumstances. Let's go to Peter Whittlesea

:05:23.:05:23.

who is in Seaford. Peter, do people there feel

:05:24.:05:26.

particularly aggrieved They think the dispute is about

:05:27.:05:36.

people going to London but here it is a strike that affects the whole

:05:37.:05:39.

community. Schoolchildren who use the train to go to school, or the

:05:40.:05:44.

students who go to Brighton to college and also it is the main

:05:45.:05:47.

legatees Eastbourne and Hastings beyond. In the early days of the

:05:48.:05:51.

strike went there with the drivers strike, there were no bus

:05:52.:05:54.

replacement services so the town was cut off.

:05:55.:05:57.

What has the reaction been there tonight?

:05:58.:06:03.

Everyone has an opinion on this business owners say in the summer it

:06:04.:06:06.

had an impact on tourist coming down for the day, if they didn't say it

:06:07.:06:10.

could have an impact on house prices and that is why they want to see

:06:11.:06:14.

some resolution soon. -- estate agents.

:06:15.:06:17.

A lot of people use the train to get to work, worked in Brighton, the

:06:18.:06:26.

connection train to London. It will also affect the property market,

:06:27.:06:29.

people buying in the local area. You seem a bit resigned. I think at the

:06:30.:06:35.

start everyone was fed up and angry and now everyone just goes that is

:06:36.:06:41.

just Southern. And we are resigned. I am exasperated by the whole thing

:06:42.:06:45.

really. Everything is the same. When is it going to end? No idea.

:06:46.:06:51.

The majority of people I have spoken to tonight say they want the

:06:52.:06:55.

government to intervene if the talks in the next few weeks do not

:06:56.:06:59.

conclude with a resolution. Peter, thank you.

:07:00.:07:00.

Not fit for purpose - how some ambulances in the south

:07:01.:07:16.

Two men who subjected a couple to a brutal attack,

:07:17.:07:23.

pouring boiling water over their heads, have been

:07:24.:07:25.

Kacey Adams and Daniel Wallace were described as ruthless criminals.

:07:26.:07:36.

They broke into the Halstead home of John and Janice Buswell last

:07:37.:07:39.

April and subjected them to a two hour torture ordeal before stealing

:07:40.:07:42.

Today the judge said the attack brought feelings

:07:43.:07:45.

Put your hands on the seat. Arrested while still on the plane on their

:07:46.:07:57.

way back from Dubai, Kacey Adams and Daniel Wallace had been spending

:07:58.:08:02.

money they had got through the most horrifying of burglaries. Today,

:08:03.:08:06.

there was every security surrounding the court as the two men described

:08:07.:08:10.

as ruthless animals prepared to use extreme violence started their life

:08:11.:08:17.

sentences. John and Janice Boswell, pictured here in happier times,

:08:18.:08:22.

stayed away from the hearings. But those attending had had their lives

:08:23.:08:25.

had been ruined by the physical and psychological damage they suffered.

:08:26.:08:30.

Attacked out of the blue in their own home, but horribly by kettles

:08:31.:08:35.

boiling water tipped over their heads. Today the judge described how

:08:36.:08:41.

these two men who have shown no remorse broken, tied them with cable

:08:42.:08:45.

ties and did not even wait for an answer over where the safe was

:08:46.:08:50.

before emptying the cattle over Mrs Boswell. Torture be carried out

:08:51.:08:53.

twice on her and wants on her husband. He said nobody listening

:08:54.:08:57.

could feel anything but free auction, thickness and a deep anger.

:08:58.:09:02.

It had been gratuitous violence and no reason at all which had ruined

:09:03.:09:07.

the lives of two pensioners. It was a horrifying events. The most

:09:08.:09:11.

horrifying events I've ever heard of. It is incredibly rare, it is a

:09:12.:09:19.

one-off, the officers were equally shocked. I'm pleased by the sentence

:09:20.:09:24.

today and I hope this will code of victims you fold. Mrs Boswell nearly

:09:25.:09:30.

died from her burns. Her husband also badly burned said their lives

:09:31.:09:33.

have been destroyed. Kacey Adams and Daniel Wallace were also jailed

:09:34.:09:39.

today for an unconnected shooting be carried out jointly in Essex. Given

:09:40.:09:43.

three life sentences each, they will spend a minimum of 12 and a half

:09:44.:09:45.

years behind bars. A reporter is outside now. What else

:09:46.:09:50.

did the judge have to say? He said these men had left people

:09:51.:10:01.

with their lives devastated by their greed without even sharing, as he

:10:02.:10:06.

did it, a whisper of remorse. Wallace and Adams were arrested on

:10:07.:10:08.

that plane on the way home from Dubai where they had been spending

:10:09.:10:11.

money that had taken in that they believe. They had taken almost

:10:12.:10:17.

?50,000 from the Buswells. They had ?18,000 worth of designer clothes on

:10:18.:10:22.

them. We heard that the couple will never get over what happened to

:10:23.:10:26.

them, either physically or mentally but as the detective inspector said,

:10:27.:10:30.

he hoped that those life sentences would give them at least a little

:10:31.:10:32.

bit of comfort. Thank you.

:10:33.:10:33.

?4 million of funding for the regeneration

:10:34.:10:35.

of Brighton's Madeira Terraces has been rejected.

:10:36.:10:38.

The local council applied to the government's

:10:39.:10:39.

Coastal Communities Fund in the hope of restoring the arches.

:10:40.:10:44.

The money would have gone towards a ?23 million project

:10:45.:10:47.

to restore the seafront to its former glory.

:10:48.:10:56.

They have been closed for safety reasons since 2015.

:10:57.:11:00.

People in Kent are being told not to panic if they see an increased

:11:01.:11:05.

The South East Coast Ambulance Service is being forced

:11:06.:11:07.

to remove equipment from some of its ambulances, and limit

:11:08.:11:10.

the number of people who can travel in them because the vehicles

:11:11.:11:13.

are getting too heavy to be safe on the road.

:11:14.:11:15.

45 out of a fleet of 300 will only be allowed to transport a maximum

:11:16.:11:19.

of two crew members and a patient and 18 of those ambulances

:11:20.:11:22.

One union that represents workers is concerned.

:11:23.:11:24.

It's clearly a concern because it is going to put pressure on the

:11:25.:11:27.

resources, especially coming up to the bank holiday weekend

:11:28.:11:29.

And it's not something that the GMB welcome IN any way.

:11:30.:11:34.

But hopefully we can source more resources with the management

:11:35.:11:36.

and make sure there is a service out there for the public.

:11:37.:11:46.

How big an impact is there going to be on services?

:11:47.:11:54.

Around one in six ambulances is effective. The trusted it today

:11:55.:12:00.

there is a scenario where a child is involved in an accident, needs to go

:12:01.:12:04.

to hospital but is unable to go in the ambulance with their parents

:12:05.:12:07.

because only three people are allowed on board. They admit this is

:12:08.:12:11.

a worst-case situation, they would send to other transport for the

:12:12.:12:16.

parents. The equipment being removed, we are told, is nonvital

:12:17.:12:20.

equipment. The review is being carried out. Most of the ambulance

:12:21.:12:23.

affected are in Sussex. This is a trust already in special measures

:12:24.:12:27.

and this is a headache they could well do without at this moment.

:12:28.:12:28.

Thank you. A woman who says she was stalked

Train drivers on Southern Rail have voted to reject the latest deal

:16:02.:16:05.

to end their long-running industrial action over Driver

:16:06.:16:07.

Southern are now seeking fresh talks with the union Aslef

Peer of the year. How Hastings Bay has risen from the ashes.

:16:14.:16:19.

And it was a sunny spring day with highs of 18 filters. Rain back again

:16:20.:16:24.

for tomorrow. Looking decent after that. The details for you in the

forecast a little later in the programme.

:16:28.:16:38.

BBC South East Today has discovered that a major

:16:39.:16:41.

study into the possibility of building a second rail line

:16:42.:16:43.

between Brighton and London was left unread by the Transport Secretary

:16:44.:16:46.

for almost three months after he took office.

:16:47.:16:48.

It's led to claims from two Brighton MPs

:16:49.:16:49.

carried out at a cost of ?100,000 - announced just before

:16:50.:17:02.

Our political editor Helen Catt has tonights special report.

:17:03.:17:07.

When former chancellor George Osborne came

:17:08.:17:08.

to the battle ground seat of Lewes just before

:17:09.:17:10.

the general election, it was with a tantalising offer for rail

:17:11.:17:13.

It's a plan to create jobs, invest in the

:17:14.:17:16.

train the, like the second Sussex rail line from London, those are all

:17:17.:17:19.

And he would put his money where his mouth was,

:17:20.:17:23.

?100,000 announced in the budget for a major study into the new

:17:24.:17:26.

The report on the new route, which would link Brighton to

:17:27.:17:30.

London via Uckfield and Tunbridge Wells,

:17:31.:17:31.

was finished and with the

:17:32.:17:32.

Department for Transport by April 2016.

:17:33.:17:34.

But then it seems it hit the buffers.

:17:35.:17:36.

In July, it was all change at the DFT with Chris Grayling

:17:37.:17:39.

This programme has discovered though it was another three months before

:17:40.:17:45.

he looked at the study, leading some opponents

:17:46.:17:50.

to claim it was just an election stunt.

:17:51.:17:52.

I knew the very day that George Osborne came to Sussex

:17:53.:17:55.

and announced the study that he was buying votes.

:17:56.:17:57.

But it was an opportunity that I wanted to seize.

:17:58.:18:00.

If the Treasury are going to spend ?100,000 looking at the real

:18:01.:18:04.

-- rail challenges we have in the south-east of England

:18:05.:18:07.

then great, I've going to grab that opportunity.

:18:08.:18:09.

The thing that really frustrates me is that they

:18:10.:18:11.

had the money, they had the opportunity and

:18:12.:18:13.

On the day before Chris Grayling got his briefing, the Rail Minister

:18:14.:18:16.

Paul Maynard had assured MPs that ministers were carefully

:18:17.:18:19.

When we pressed the Department for Transport though as to which

:18:20.:18:30.

ministers, they declined to name any apart from Paul Maynard. The Green

:18:31.:18:34.

MP for Brighton with Lillian has said all this suggests this was

:18:35.:18:37.

never high priority for the government. The Conservative MP for

:18:38.:18:41.

Mehmet Akpinar is adamant that is not true. It is a priority by the

:18:42.:18:47.

government have been very clear that they clip priority is the main line.

:18:48.:18:52.

We cannot have a situation where we had glassy where people cannot get

:18:53.:18:56.

to work, parents cannot pick up their children. When the report was

:18:57.:18:59.

published last month, Peetoom said it would not be backing with public

:19:00.:19:04.

money. -- the government. It is encouraging promoters to get private

:19:05.:19:09.

cash. We understand Chris Greening did receive briefings about the

:19:10.:19:13.

existing mainline later on and he's working closely with Network Rail on

:19:14.:19:19.

proposals to create that. -- Chris Grayling.

and influential rock and roll album ever recorded and this year

:19:30.:19:35.

There are a host of connections with the south east,

:19:36.:19:37.

an antiques shop in Sevenoaks provided the inspiration for one

by Dartford's Peter Blake and, of course, Sir Paul McCartney

chose to settle in East Sussex, near Rye.

:19:46.:19:47.

50 years on and it remains a musical high water mark. I had written a

:19:48.:20:06.

song, the title song and I put it to the guys, what we should do, we

:20:07.:20:09.

could make this record now under another persona, we will be this

:20:10.:20:15.

other band. And it will free us. The idea was that we could bring

:20:16.:20:19.

anything we wanted because now there was no lid on what we could do.
