:00:09. > :00:14.One year after it started, we reveal the Southern dispute
:00:15. > :00:27.The knock-on effect for the general public has probably been greater now
:00:28. > :00:29.than during the miners' dispute of 30 years ago.
:00:30. > :00:32.of thousands of passengers and affected businesses
:00:33. > :00:35.We'll be live in Brighton with reaction.
:00:36. > :00:42.Bitten by a shark - her family in Kent say they feared
:00:43. > :00:53.I can only say how relieved I was. We came close to losing a daughter.
:00:54. > :00:56.The worst case of fly-tipping seen in Kent in years and appeals
:00:57. > :00:58.for help in tracking down the culprits.
:00:59. > :01:05.And it is blooming lovely at Hever Castle. How the warm weather couple
:01:06. > :01:16.of weeks ago has brought about a spectacular early show of tulips.
:01:17. > :01:24.Tomorrow marks one year since the start of the RMT union's
:01:25. > :01:26.strike action with Southern Railways - the longest running
:01:27. > :01:30.The disagreement is over the introduction of
:01:31. > :01:35.driver-only operation, but for commuters caught up
:01:36. > :01:37.in the row, it's meant unreliable, overcrowded services
:01:38. > :01:39.and for some the loss of jobs, even relationships.
:01:40. > :01:44.This programme can reveal that the disruption
:01:45. > :01:49.is estimated to have cost the south-east economy ?341 million.
:01:50. > :01:53.The Sussex Chamber of Commerce says today
:01:54. > :01:56.catering and hospitality on the south cost is down 30%.

:02:04. > :02:12.It is shameful action being taken by the union leaders here.
:02:13. > :02:15.There is a complete lack of trust of Southern and members do not
:02:16. > :02:21.believe Southern will keep to their side of the bargain.
:02:22. > :02:24.We think that the strikes are absolutely unnecessary and I call
:02:25. > :02:27.upon the trade unions to consider calling off the strikes even
:02:28. > :02:29.They have offered a bribe to our members.
:02:30. > :02:32.Our members have told us that they don't want to consider money.
:02:33. > :02:36.They can keep their money if they wish.

:03:00. > :03:02.It has been pretty horrendous and has not got any better,
:03:03. > :03:08.So, yeah, it has been life-changing for a lot of people, I would say.
:03:09. > :03:11.Not since the miners' strike has an industrial dispute
:03:12. > :03:14.rumbled on for so long, so why has it proved so intractable?
:03:15. > :03:18.This professor is an expert in industrial relations.
:03:19. > :03:21.I think, behind-the-scenes, rather like in the miners'
:03:22. > :03:23.strike 30 years ago, the Government has tried
:03:24. > :03:27.to force management to take a pretty tough line.
:03:28. > :03:31.In this case, of course, with the franchise arrangements
:03:32. > :03:35.of Southern Rail, the Government has quite a strong hand to play
:03:36. > :03:39.with management in being tough with the unions.
:03:40. > :03:43.So it is a very intractable, intransient situation.
:03:44. > :03:45.At the heart of the dispute, the introduction of driver-only
:03:46. > :03:48.operated trains and the changes to the roles and responsibilities

:04:10. > :04:16.The strike is believed to have cost the economy ?340 million.
:04:17. > :04:19.But there has been an immeasurable human impact as well.
:04:20. > :04:24.Heather's three-year-old son Charlie has cystic fibrosis.
:04:25. > :04:26.On strike days, they face a six-hour car journey

:04:30. > :04:37.Annoyed, frustrated, I just accept it for how it is.
:04:38. > :04:39.I mean, the impact on my family is huge.
:04:40. > :04:44.I would call on both sides to carry on talks,
:04:45. > :04:51.Compromise is always needed on both sides.
:04:52. > :04:56.This is the worst performing franchise in the country and yet it
:04:57. > :04:57.has been allowed to run on. They should have cancelled it a long time
:04:58. > :05:00.ago. So, as an unwelcome
:05:01. > :05:02.anniversary dawns, there The spate of strikes and other
:05:03. > :05:16.issues such as staff shortages led to almost 59,000 Southern services

:05:24. > :05:26.as Southern's parent company, Govia Thameslink Railway,
:05:27. > :05:28.is being paid by the Government It's the worst industrial action
:05:29. > :05:32.to hit the rail industry for 23 years and is Britain's
:05:33. > :05:37.longest-running dispute since since the miners' strike
:05:38. > :05:41.in the 1980s. Well, Juliette Parkin joins us live
:05:42. > :05:43.from Brighton railway station. It's fair to say Juliette that this
:05:44. > :05:47.strike has had an enormous effect on people living and working
:05:48. > :05:55.in the south east? Yes, that is right. We have been
:05:56. > :05:58.reporting from stations across the south-east since this dispute began.
:05:59. > :06:03.In Brighton, we have seen businesses fold on the station concourse due to
:06:04. > :06:07.the strikes and following commuter numbers. People have lost jobs,
:06:08. > :06:11.parents have been struggling to get all night after night to see
:06:12. > :06:15.children. We have also seen coastal services between here and places
:06:16. > :06:18.like Eastbourne and Seaford cut and replaced by buses for weeks on end,
:06:19. > :06:23.leading to one MP even calling for the army to be drafted in to help

:06:43. > :06:49.there should be a critical member of staff on board at all times. People
:06:50. > :06:53.here cannot believe this dispute has gone on for quite so long. OK,

:08:07. > :08:11.for medical treatment but its feared her injries

:08:13. > :08:16.off the coast of Ascension Island, a photo taken by a friend
:08:17. > :08:18.before the attack. She and her family were swimming
:08:19. > :08:21.in the same waters last Friday Her husband, Dean,
:08:22. > :08:29.came to her rescue. A dramatic scene he then described
:08:30. > :08:33.in a phone call to Frankie's father Dean heard Frankie scream.
:08:34. > :08:36.She had been attacked. Her leg had been seized by the shark
:08:37. > :08:39.and he went to her aid and got the shark to release her by punching
:08:40. > :08:46.the shark repeatedly on the head. And getting her to

:09:06. > :09:14.The advice for people swimming in unknown waters is simple.
:09:15. > :09:20.Just say to anyone when they go anywhere, make sure they do
:09:21. > :09:22.their research about the area that they are going swimming in.
:09:23. > :09:24.Of course, shark attacks on people are rare.
:09:25. > :09:27.This footage shows a surfer fighting off a shark attack in Australia.
:09:28. > :09:30.In Frankie's case, the shark bit into a calf muscle
:09:31. > :09:37.She is currently recovering in hospital from where
:09:38. > :09:45.She was tearful and emotional to begin with.
:09:46. > :09:48.But then she just told the story exactly as Dean had.
:09:49. > :10:00.Having come close to losing a daughter, and we are grateful
:10:01. > :10:03.that she will get away without losing her leg.

:11:50. > :11:54.an hour and a half to find a letter earlier today. It is very well
:11:55. > :11:59.concealed. Nothing, frankly, prepares you for the site of 50
:12:00. > :12:05.fridges buried deep amongst the beautiful Kent countryside.
:12:06. > :12:11.East of Canterbury city centre, there is a woodland area that has
:12:12. > :12:17.been turned into a waste dump for fly-tippers. It is impossible to say
:12:18. > :12:20.how many through June as there are here, but there are dozens along
:12:21. > :12:24.with other items of rubbish that simple do not belong here. Whoever
:12:25. > :12:30.did this and created this mess probably did it over a long period

:12:42. > :12:45.years. Nobody has ever bothered to clear them. The council have never
:12:46. > :12:50.bothered to clear them. To be honest, I have never seen it as bad
:12:51. > :12:54.as that. I did not even know they were there. It is not nice but I did
:12:55. > :13:01.not know that they were there until I saw it on social media. Play area.

:13:04. > :13:07.example of fly-tipping has been described as one of the worst in the
:13:08. > :13:14.county of Kent. The City Council says it was only told about it last
:13:15. > :13:20.week. We're really disappointed, yet again, to be victims of this
:13:21. > :13:23.criminal activity. We can fly-tipping as a crime in legal
:13:24. > :13:26.terms and we are disappointed that the council taxpayer yet again has
:13:27. > :13:33.to face the cost of cleaning up else's mess. There are scores of
:13:34. > :13:37.fly-tipping incidents across the area every year. This one in
:13:38. > :13:39.Canterbury again illustrates how difficult it is to catch the
:13:40. > :13:44.perpetrators in the act and then present the evidence to ensure

:13:58. > :14:03.again. Part of the answer is to increase
:14:04. > :14:09.levels of protection and deterrent. We have only moved about 50 yards
:14:10. > :14:13.away from the fridge and what the council has done is bought this
:14:14. > :14:18.area. What it wants to do is to try and turn this into a river walkway.
:14:19. > :14:22.That way, it will be used by walkers and cyclists who can protect this
:14:23. > :14:34.beautiful part of Kent. There were dramatic scenes
:14:35. > :14:36.at a cornoner's court today after a grieving father asked
:14:37. > :14:38.an inquest whether his son was killed by the Prison Service,
:14:39. > :14:41.rather than epilepsy. Daniel Adewole, who was 16,
:14:42. > :14:43.died at Cookham Wood jail He suffered a sudden

:14:55. > :15:00.court, saying that he wanted people to see a picture of his son who he
:15:01. > :15:05.had taken care since he was a baby. His question, did the prison Service
:15:06. > :15:11.take care of Daniel? In African culture, you played that your son
:15:12. > :15:20.would bury you. In my case, unfortunately, I buried my son. It
:15:21. > :15:24.will live with me forever, and -- until I leave this earth. Daniel did
:15:25. > :15:29.not respond to roll call to check he was in his cell. His cell was kicked
:15:30. > :15:35.three times at 5:53 a.m.. A further five attempts to raise him failed
:15:36. > :15:38.and officers went into his cell at 6:31 a.m.. After attempts to revive
:15:39. > :15:44.him failed, life was formally pronounced extinct at 7:44 a.m..

:16:01. > :16:02.CPR and said she had not been told Daniel was epileptic. She had not
:16:03. > :16:08.been given formal first aid training. It was found that Daniel
:16:09. > :16:21.was likely dead before he was found. In court, Daniel's father asked...
:16:22. > :16:28.He believed Daniel had died at least 30 minutes and possibly some hours
:16:29. > :16:33.before he was found. The inquest continues.
:16:34. > :16:37.Well, we can speak to Simon who's at the coroner's court in Maidstone.
:16:38. > :16:38.So are we any clearer when exactly Daniel died?
:16:39. > :16:46.A pathologist told the inquest today that if you watch TV programmes like
:16:47. > :16:49.CSI, you expect to be told a specific time of death down to the
:16:50. > :17:02.minute. In reality, it does not work like that. Pathologists satyrs
:17:03. > :17:07.difficult -- say that it is difficult to have an exact time, but
:17:08. > :17:16.the doctor said Daniel was likely dead for some time before he was
:17:17. > :17:18.found. The coroner will deliver her findings tomorrow morning.

:20:51. > :20:52.south-east, and services that impact on so much of the vulnerable and

:21:05. > :21:08.decent jobs for residents with accessible transport
:21:09. > :21:10.for all and with sound Then there are the other smaller

:21:14. > :21:16.up candidates at a more local level. All of the information
:21:17. > :21:27.about candidates can be found Thank you very much. After such a
:21:28. > :21:33.chilly start the morning, might be hard to remember a couple of weeks
:21:34. > :21:37.ago we were basking in sunny, warm weather. But it has meant some
:21:38. > :21:43.flowers have, Pelle than usual this year. -- have come up earlier than
:21:44. > :21:49.usual. At Hever Castle they've
:21:50. > :21:51.begun their annual tulip celebration ahead of schedule -
:21:52. > :21:53.they have more than seven thousand of them in flower -
:21:54. > :21:56.and Chrissie Reidy has been enjoying of gardeners to look
:21:57. > :22:04.after all those. They do. They work here all year
:22:05. > :22:08.round and last year planted some 7000 chilly bulbs. They flowered
:22:09. > :22:13.beautifully behind me and as you said, thanks to the exceedingly warm
:22:14. > :22:24.weather a few weeks ago, they have flowered early. -- 7000 tulip bulbs.
:22:25. > :22:26.A kaleidoscope of colour agrees you at Hever Castle Gardens.
:22:27. > :22:33.This year, mother nature has been on our side.
:22:34. > :22:37.The tulips are well and truly out now.
:22:38. > :22:39.But the show this year is second to none.
:22:40. > :22:41.Visitors today welcomed the splash of colour.
:22:42. > :22:49.The colour of the tulips really stands out well.
:22:50. > :22:52.I love the way that they mixed the brightness in long, straight
:22:53. > :22:55.Huge lengths of bright orange planted.
:22:56. > :23:08.60 varieties were planted late last year. These are my favourites, these
:23:09. > :23:16.two. This is the Queen of the night, and alongside it, the ice cream. It
:23:17. > :23:34.is called that because of the way the bud flowers.
:23:35. > :23:39.When you think of roses, there are lots of different colours but you do
:23:40. > :23:45.not get all the strikes, various other plant science robs -- plants
:23:46. > :23:48.and shrubs. But you can go from black to orange, all the way through
:23:49. > :23:56.the spectrum. They can flow from March to May. Chile 's came to
:23:57. > :24:00.England during the 16th century. You could show off your wealth by
:24:01. > :24:05.having these flowers and you would have images of the flower, you would
:24:06. > :24:09.wear them in your here, and your different ways of showing off
:24:10. > :24:13.wealth. It is a carpet of colour standing to attention as the sole
:24:14. > :24:15.cop the sunshine. -- as they soak up.
:24:16. > :24:20.Quite a spectacle here that either castle and gardens. The visitors I
:24:21. > :24:26.spoke to were delighted and very enthusiastic about the celebration
:24:27. > :24:32.of tulips. If you want to check it out next week, you can come along.
:24:33. > :24:33.It is not on over the bank holiday weekend but it picks up the week
:24:34. > :24:39.after. Those poor flowers came out in
:24:40. > :24:45.bright, warm weather and now we have an Arctic blast!
:24:46. > :24:49.Yes, it will be really chilly in the next few days. This morning was a
:24:50. > :24:53.glorious although cold start of the day. The Arctic are giving us clear
:24:54. > :25:00.skies but in real sports, laws of minus one. We have seen a good deal
:25:01. > :25:03.of sunshine through the morning as well, but through the afternoon, we
:25:04. > :25:10.saw more than the way of cloud cover. Northerly winds were picking
:25:11. > :25:14.up at around 10-15 mph, really taking the edge off temperatures.
:25:15. > :25:17.Today, temperature struggled to 1011 Celsius and it was feeling much
:25:18. > :25:20.cooler than that where you so scattered showers. Exposed spots
:25:21. > :25:27.feeling more like four or five Celsius. Through tonight, scattered
:25:28. > :25:31.showers continue and we get temperatures plummeting where you
:25:32. > :25:36.see clear skies. Once again, in more rural sports, potentially getting as
:25:37. > :25:40.low as -1 or minus two Celsius, hovering around two or three in
:25:41. > :25:43.towns and cities. There are more scattered showers initially, mostly
:25:44. > :25:48.dry once again as we start the day for Wednesday. Quite a sum lost art
:25:49. > :25:54.of the day. Clear skies but again it will be feeling really cold. This
:25:55. > :25:56.northerly airflow stays with us. Again, scattered showers and
:25:57. > :26:01.potentially hailstones mixed in. The odd rumble of thunder. And actually
:26:02. > :26:03.for tomorrow, particularly during the afternoon, more in the way of
:26:04. > :26:08.scattered showers around. This is the picture first thing. A good deal
:26:09. > :26:12.of brightness and begin a frosty start, particularly in rural sports.
:26:13. > :26:16.Through the afternoon, lots of blue on the map. Scattered showers
:26:17. > :26:21.merging into longer spells of rain. Temperatures once again, nine, 10
:26:22. > :26:27.Celsius. With this northerly airflow, it will be feeling more
:26:28. > :26:30.like four or five. Through Wednesday into Thursday, scattered showers for
:26:31. > :26:34.a time. Eventually, they will be easing. As we get was early as once
:26:35. > :26:40.again on Thursday morning, we see clear skies and temperatures once
:26:41. > :26:45.again falling away. Dropping to one or two Celsius in towns and cities
:26:46. > :26:48.and maybe -2 -3 and moral spots. A hard frost as we start the day for
:26:49. > :26:54.Thursday and there is a change in the air as we had through the day.
:26:55. > :26:59.It was a dry start but we will see this band of rain soon after. We
:27:00. > :27:02.will then see milder Ehrlich looking bank holiday weekend and high
:27:03. > :27:06.pressure builds back in again. Saturday is a pretty decent day. Do
:27:07. > :27:10.make the most of it, I am afraid this is heading our way as we move
:27:11. > :27:14.toward Sunday. It clears eventually but it is a wet picture as we start
:27:15. > :27:18.the day for Monday. In the next few days, lots of sunshine, really
:27:19. > :27:22.chilly start of the day tomorrow, decent scattered showers around and
:27:23. > :27:23.some hailstones. Towards the bank holiday weekend, the sunshine is
:27:24. > :27:29.back. I think that is a bit of extra
:27:30. > :27:33.living -- everything! Nothing that you left out, Rachel.
:27:34. > :27:45.That is it from us for now. I will be back for the late news at to five
:27:46. > :27:47.p.m.. Just now, we will leave you with the pictures from Hever Castle.
:27:48. > :27:49.-- 10:30 p.m..
