It's emerged tonight that the man who died in suspicious circumstances | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
in the early hours of New Year's Day was 25 years old and his | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
death is being treated as a major incident. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
The man, whose name hasn't been released, fell to his death | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
from four storeys high, crashing through a corrugated | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
plastic ceiling at a property in St Leonards. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
This evening, Sussex Police announced that five people, | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
all in their twenties and thirties, have been released on bail | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
after being questioned on suspicion of murder. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
The two women and two of the men are from the town, | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Rail commuters have been expressing their frustration | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
at the annual rise in fares - this year, on average, just over 2%. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
That means an annual season ticket from Brighton | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
to London is now ?4,200, for a service that barely | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
And as Ian Palmer now reports, the dispute is having | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
a knock on effect on some South Eastern commuters, too. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
New year, new rail ticket price rises. | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
The increase comes on the third day of an RMT strike. | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
Travellers in East Grinstead say they are not happy about paying | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
But in view of the problems with Southern Rail in | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
the last little while, I'm quite annoyed about it actually. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
I think the price of rail fares now is | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
extortionate and I think that it would be a lot easier to tolerate if | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
the trains actually ran consistently on time | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
and we knew we could get to | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
and from work, and to and from London, the way | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
I think they've got a bit of a nerve putting | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
The annual increase in fares is being introduced because | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
the Government wants passengers to fund a larger | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
I feel acutely sorry for the Southern commuters who have | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
experienced the troubles over the past few months, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
but what we did was say to these people, in recognition | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
of the trouble you've been through, we are going to give our regular | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
customers on that route a month's free travel. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
In addition to the season ticket holders' compensation | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
rebate, Southern says because its services have | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
not been good enough, it's also going to freeze its | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
cheapest advanced fare tickets for the ninth year in a row. | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
But the dispute over the role of conducters on | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
The ten month strike has caused misery to | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
It's even affecting commuters on the south-eastern line in Kent. | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
There's some trains in particular, like the | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
6:31 from Sevenoaks, which, on a strike day, you cannot get | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Another strike is due to begin on January 9th. | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
It may be a new year, but the old problems have | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Meanwhile, a campaign's been launched to compensate drivers | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
who are fed up paying for the Dartford Crossing, | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
only to find themselves stuck for hours in queues waiting to use it. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
But as Mark Norman explains, it'll need 100,000 signatures to stand | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
Rush hour at the Dartford crossing, and queues, | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
like this one, are a familiar sites to those who use it regularly. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
People like Annan, who commutes from North Kent | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
For him, what's more frustrating than sitting in traffic | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
is the fact he has to pay for the pleasure. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
A situation he has decided to do something about. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
These delays are unacceptable and they're getting worse day by day. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Therefore, I have launched this petition calling | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
for drivers to be compensated in the event of long traffic delays. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Annan's petition is calling on Highways England to compensate | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
drivers who get stuck in traffic and if he manages to get 100,000 | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
signatures, then the idea will be debated in Parliament. | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
One motoring organisation has concerns about the proposal. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
You can never really be completely sure who is to | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
It could be on a Highways England managed stretch of | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
road or it could be on the crossing itself, | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
or it could just be that | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
So it's very difficult to be able to pin the blame. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
In practice, it might be a little bit more difficult to operate. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
It shouldn't take me more than 30 minutes, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
but I've spent three or three and a half hours doing the | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
If not, at least 50% of the money should be refunded. | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
In a statement, Highways England says the Dart charge | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
is successfully speeding up journeys at the Dartford crossing | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
after being introduced to relieve severe | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
congestion and is a medium-term solution. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Meanwhile, they are continuing to work with partners to | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
tackle congestion, especially on the approaches | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
For now, Annan's commute continues and whether it changes in the | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
future, well, that, he hopes, will depend on the success of | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
It is cold and frosty. We got falling temperatures out there. All | :04:55. | :05:17. | |
due to clear skies. Wide frost throughout the night tonight, | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
exhibitors below freezing in the morning. Even as low as -3 or 4 | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
degrees. Mist and fog patches first thing. They should clear and we will | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
have sunshine for the first part of the day. Workload introduced in the | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
afternoon, occasional brighter spells but cloudier than it has been | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
today. Top temperatures of four or 5 degrees, still staying cold. | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
Throughout much of this week, pressure remains high but there is a | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
weak weather front moving through on Wednesday. Again, that keeps the | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
feed of Clyde, it may even be thick feed of Clyde, it may even be thick | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
enough for the odd spot of rain. It will be quite as cold first thing in | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
the morning, in the afternoon we will see tempters recovering to 7 | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
degrees. Taking a look Good evening. It's been a dry and | :05:59. | :06:09. | |
bright day across most parts of the country today. Despite the chilly | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
feel to the weather, there has been some sunshine. Clear skies as the | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
sun set in east Essex. With those clear skies around, temperatures are | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
plummeting, particularly across southern parts. Here we see the | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
coldest temperatures. We could see icy stretches on untreated surfaces, | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
pavements and roads first thing Tuesday morning. Not quite as cold | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
towards the North West. Cloud moving in here through the overnight | :06:39. | :06:39. | |
period. | :06:40. | :06:41. |
