The six-day strike by Southern Rail train drivers | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
scheduled for next week is cut to three days, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Our reporter is live this lunchtime in Crawley. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Calls by a Kent MP to increase the budget for UK Border Force | :00:13. | :00:15. | |

A six-day strike by drivers on Southern Railway next week | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
However, the ASLEF union says more strike action's likely | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
to be scheduled in the bitter dispute over driver-only trains. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Members of Aslef were due to walk out from Monday, | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
halting services for the entire week. | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
The strike will now be held over three days - | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Also this morning, the ASLEF union has announced three new strike days | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
Southern says the Union's actions are "a cynical ploy" to minimise | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
the impact on drivers' pay and maximises misery for commuters. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Sara Smith is at Crawley station this lunchtime. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Why has the union changed these strike dates? | :01:22. | :01:34. | |
ASLEF told us this morning they were taking a longer term view of the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
dispute, that is why they had done it. They say their train company is | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
posturing rather than negotiating over the driver only trains. The | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
company said that the drivers had shown pure contempt for the public. | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
This is as bitter as it ever was. The commuters are not delighted | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
there will only be three days because there are further three days | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
at the end of the month. That is on Tuesday the 24th, the Wednesday and | :02:11. | :02:11. | |
Friday of that week. being made for passengers | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
this time, isn't there? Because this is a driver strike | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
rather than a conductor strike, there will be no services at all. | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
Southern has decided to run 200 buses. They will be coming from a | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
brightly of stations, not Crawley, but they will not have as much | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
capacity, so there will be limited space. | :02:38. | :02:38. | |
A Kent MP is calling on the Government | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
to increase the UK Border Force budget by ?250 million | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
to crack down on illegal immigration. | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
Dover and Deal MP Charlie Elphicke says the money would be used | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
to tackle "lorry drops" - where migrants pay to be | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
smuggled into the country in the back of trucks - | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
and migrants landing undetected on our beaches. | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
His report cites an investigation where drug drivers were offering a | :03:06. | :03:16. | |
service to get people into this country in the back of lorries for | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
several thousand pounds. The Government's terror | :03:19. | :03:19. | |
tsar is making a point that our border security | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
needs to be stronger. What this report sets out is how | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
we can invest ?250 million more in our borders, | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
paid for by people visiting the UK, to make sure we can invest | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
in our border security and make our borders | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
safe and secure. Our political editor, Helen Catt, | :03:32. | :03:32. | |
is live in Walmer this lunchtime. How exactly is he proposing this | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
money gets raised? He wants to use Brexit is a money | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
spinner. The idea is that once the UK has left the EU, we would | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
introduce a Visa waiver programme like in the US. EU citizens, rather | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
than applying for a full beta, they pay for a waiver, about ?10, average | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
to their details before they come here. That would build a database | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
with a wealth of information and on who is coming here. That would stop | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
overstaying their visas and it would pay for the system and allow for the | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
system to be beefed up along the border. | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
And, Helen, fears have been raised too around a possible security risk | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
around small boats smuggling people across the Channel? | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
Of course, we know it has been happening. Here in the autumn, three | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
suspected migrants were picked up from a dinghy off the coast. An | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
adviser to the Government on terror law has said he is worried about the | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
security implications of that, that it could be used by fighters | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
returning from Syria to land undetected and British beaches and | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
therefore gain entry to the country. The Home Office, in responding to | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
this report, has said that it will provide extra officers and | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
state-of-the-art technology. An inquest into the death of a woman | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
who suffered a fatal haemorrhage after giving birth at a Kent | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
hospital continues today. 30-year-old Frances Cappuccini died | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
at Tunbridge Wells hospital in 2012. Yesterday, her husband told | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
the inquest how his wife - pleaded with doctors | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
to save her life. Well, our reporter, Charlie Rose, | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
has been in court this morning. We've heard from some of the medical | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
staff who were in theatre, Yes, at the inquest here this | :05:28. | :05:39. | |
morning, we heard from a number of medical professionals involved in | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
the care of Frances Cappuccini at the hospital. Among the most | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
significant of the evidence we heard was that from the registrar Doctor | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Gray. She was called into the theatre with the emergency buzzer | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
was pressed during Frances Cappuccini's Caesarean section, | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
there was a gush of blood and she had to try and stop it. The court | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
heard how she managed to do that but there were further complications and | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Frances Cappuccini was rushed back into theatre again. Doctor Gray said | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
that during the examination, she told the hearing she found a piece | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
of placenta inside Frances Cappuccini at once that had been | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
removed, that four centimetres of placenta, the bleeding stopped. I | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
understand from what we have heard, there were further complications? | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
There were complications with Frances Cappuccini's breathing, the | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
hearing was told. Also Doctor Gray says that the blood acid levels were | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
alarmingly high and CO2 retention levels were also high. Frances | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
Cappuccini went on to have a cardiac arrest. This hearing continues this | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
afternoon and the inquest is due to last around another nine days. Thank | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
you. Well, most of us should see some | :06:59. | :06:59. | |
sunshine over the next few hours, although we are holding | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
on to a lot of cloud in places. There was some blue sky | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
this morning, though. This was captured in Seaford | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
in East Sussex by Popsie's Paradise, | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
one of our weather watchers. You can see here the cloud | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
is really trying to steal away, as well as the outbreaks of rain, | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
but the further west you are, the later you are likely to see | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
any blue sky. Temperatures up to seven | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
or eight degrees Celsius. Now, under clear skies tonight, | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
a very cold night ahead of us. In fact, we're expecting | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
a widespread frost, fog and even freezing fog, | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
with temperature dipping down Now, tomorrow morning, | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
do expect to take a little longer, particularly if you have | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
to scrape your windscreen So we are looking | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
at a really beautiful day, Lots of winter sunshine, | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
but highs of four or five Celsius. So as you are wrapped | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
up warm enough, it could be a very pleasant day, | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
followed by a milder weekend. Exasperated commuters, | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
unhealthily packed trains and companies forced | :08:02. | :08:02. | |
out of business - has meant misery for hundreds | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
of thousands of people, and BBC South East is hosting | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
a special Question Time-style debate about the ongoing | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
crisis on our railways. This is not a dispute with the | :08:12. | :08:29. | |
public, this is a dispute with the Government and with this company. It | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
is a disgrace really. But it has gone on as long as it has. I tried | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
to empathise with why they are striking. You pay too much for | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
delays, cancellations and disruption. You deserve better | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
service. I don't think the Prime Minister has any idea of the level | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
of suffering and pain the rail passengers and businesses are | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
suffering. There is only one body responsible for the current strike, | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
this is a strike from the trade unions. | :09:03. | :09:05. | |

send an email to with your name, address and daytime phone number. | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
The programme airs on Monday the 9th of January at 7:30pm on BBC One. | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Panorama investigates the deadly terrorist attack | :09:19. | :09:45. | |
and should British tourists have been warned about the risks? | :09:46. | :10:01. | |
We're looking for someone who can sing, someone who can move. | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
Someone who can keep an audience on the edge of their seat. | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
Something like this could change my life. | :10:08. | :10:23. | |
