MPs call on the Government to deal with that strike action that is | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
upcoming and Southern Rail. Tributes are paid to a Kent father | :00:24. | :00:24. | |
who died after falling from a pram We're live in Sutton | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Valence with reaction. MPs call on the Government | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
to settle the Southern rail crisis ahead of further strike | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
action next week. And less than two years | :00:35. | :00:35. | |
after he joined Gillingham, a home defeat seals his fate | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
as Justin Edinburgh Sussex MPs are calling | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
on the Government to announce its plan to end the bitter | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
Southern Rail dispute. Commuters returning to work this | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
morning after the Christmas break faced delays and disruption | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
on Southern services, which the operator is blaming | :00:53. | :00:53. | |
on the overtime ban by drivers There was an encouraging meeting | :00:54. | :01:05. | |
with the Prime Minister just before the Christmas break, and we were | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
told that plans would be in place if the strikes had not been resolved. I | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
have not had any details of what those plans are, and I will be | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
pushing ministers and the Secretary of State for more information for my | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
constituents. What is the plan to help my constituents get about their | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
daily lives? Well, I'm joined now from Lewes | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
by our reporter, Natalie Graham. but it wasn't a smooth start | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
to the new year, was it? No, miserable beginning to 2017 for | :01:30. | :01:42. | |
rail passengers in Sussex. Many of them beginning the New Year as they | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
ended the last year, and rail replacement buses, operating as | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
normal now, even though this is not a strike day. The 72 hour strike | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
that began on New Year's Day has ended, but there was widespread | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
destruction this morning. -- disruption. That is because of an | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
overtime ban from union members. They had this meeting before | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
Christmas, they believe there has been activity behind-the-scenes at | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
the Department of Transport and number ten over Christmas, but they | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
were hoping to have something to report to their constituents by now, | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
a plan of action to show that this will not go on for ever. Passengers | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
this morning on the Brighton line had a miserable start to the week. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
The Government should stop the fare increase until they have sorted out | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
what is going on here with Southern Rail. It has gone on for too long. | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
It is ridiculous. The increases are out of keeping with salary increases | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
and all the rest. It is a pretty awful situation altogether. | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
And, Natalie, all this on a day that the rail fares increase? | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
Indeed. They have risen by an average of over 2%. For Southern | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
passages in particular, especially those affected by the disruption | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
today, that feels like insult to injury. The Government says it is | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
necessary to carry out its programme of modernisation, but that is the | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
modernising process or as the units would have it, changes that are | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
endangering passenger safety, but are the heart of this dispute. Thank | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
you. And a reminder that we're hosting | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
a special Question Time-style debate about the ongoing crisis on | :03:38. | :03:40. | |

to [email protected] with your details | :03:48. | :03:48. | |
and how you've been affected. A man who died after falling | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
from a flat in St Leonards-on-Sea has been named locally | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
as 25-year-old Dan Dawson. It's thought he fell from four | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
storeys up after an incident in the early hours | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
of New Year's Day. Two men and two women | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
from St Leonards have been bailed until March after being arrested | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
on suspicion of murder. Another man from Hertfordshire | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
has also been bailed. BBC South East has discovered | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
websites selling fake degrees for universities in the south east, | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
despite a major crackdown. The Government has shut down more | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
than 40 sites in 18 months. But a number of sites in the Far | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
East are still offering certificates for institutions including | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
the Universities of Sussex, Tributes have been paid | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
to a Kent man who died during a charity pram | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
race on New Year's Day. 52-year-old Francis O'Sullivan, | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
known as Titch, suffered a head | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
injury after he fell from a pram at the event in Sutton Valence | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
near Maidstone His sister has described him | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
as a great brother, dad and uncle. Our reporter, Chrissie Reidy, | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
is in Sutton Valence now. What's been the reaction | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
from people you've spoken to? This village is in mourning today. | :05:06. | :05:21. | |
People have been coming this morning and yesterday, laying flowers to pay | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
their respects. But it is still very raw and for those residents I spoke | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
to this morning, this tragedy still is sinking in. | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
There have been known incidents in There have been known incidents in | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
the past. -- no incidents. It is a joy, and it was a shock to everyone. | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Everyone is in mourning for this chap. We are very, very sad to hear | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
the news and shocked. It started off as a day of fun, really, and it was | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
something look forward to buy the whole village. | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
Chrissie, this annual event has been held there for more than 30 years. | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
What response has there been from the organisers? | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
They haven't said anything yet but, as you said, it has been going for | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
more than 30 years. A well-established charity fundraiser, | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
they have raised thousands of pounds over the years. One woman who did | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
not want to appear on camera said it is a very well marshalled event, | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
safety has always been a priority, there are bales of hay around the | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
course. She also said she did see him and his crew dressed in RAF | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
costumes, they saluted as they went past. In her words, they were going | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
very fast but they looked happy. Of course, he was airlifted to hospital | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
having suffered a serious head injury. It was confirmed he died at | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
about 1am this morning. Thank you. | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Gillingham have sacked their manager, Justin Edinburgh, | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
after just under two years with the League One side. | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
Yesterday's 1-0 defeat at home to Oxford was described | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
by club chairman Paul Scally as "the final straw". | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
The Gills have lost 11 of their 25 league matches this season | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Meanwhile, there were impressive wins for Brighton, Charlton | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
and Crawley yesterday, with the Seagulls' victory at Fulham | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
sending them two points clear at the top of the Championship. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Brighton continued their impressive form in the Championship | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
is they beat Fulham 2-1 away from home. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
and were awarded an early penalty in the 15th minute. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
That was saved by the Seagulls' keeper, David Stockdale. | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
With their tails up, Fulham opened the scoring. | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
However, the game turned when their opponents levelled | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
Lewis Dunk then scored Brighton's winner two minutes later. | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
Charlton Athletic came from behind to beat Bristol Rovers 4-1 | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
Jermaine Easter was handed a 15th-minute opener | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Striker Josh Magennis was the star of the show for the Addicks, | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
Just after it, Jorge Teixeira made it 3-1 for Charlton | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
who scored his first hat-trick of his career. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
And Crawley claimed revenge for their 5-0 thrashing at Yeovil | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
a month ago with a comfortable home victory over the Glovers. | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
First half goals came from defender Josh Yorwerth | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
and striker James Collins from the penalty spot, | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
which gave the hosts their first points of the festive season. | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
Well, we are certainly finishing the day on a much cloudier note | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
It was cold, it was frosty, it was icy, | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
and some beautiful sunrises as well, as captured | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
by our weather watcher Kentclouds in Gravesend this morning. | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
So thank you very much for posting that. | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
As we head into the afternoon, though, | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
Some of us have still got a few bright hours ahead of us. | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
and that will make quite a big difference to temperatures, | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
getting up to about five or six Celsius. | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
As we head through tonight, we are holding onto that cloud. | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
so it's not going to be quite as cold as it was last night. | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
But with the north-westerly breeze also picking up, | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
and that will be quite fresh, temperatures getting down | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
to about two or three degrees Celsius tonight. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
For tomorrow, some of that cloud is going to be with us first thing. | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
We will also see a few outbreaks of rain. | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
Not for everyone, and it should be fairly light, | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
but that cloud should break up fairly early on in the day, | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
and then we have some beautiful winter sunshine on offer. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
So a largely fine and dry day for many of us, | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
with highs or six or seven degrees Celsius. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Thursday morning, though, we can expect a widespread frost. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
A very cold start to the day, perhaps some fog patches, | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
But some beautiful sunshine later on. | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
Friday, not so much - a bit more cloud around | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
as a band of rain pushes southwards later on in the day | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
But that clears in time for the weekend. | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
So a largely cloudy weekend with still a little chill in the air. | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
We're back with the evening news from 6:30pm. | :10:05. | :10:13. |
