Good evening. for the news where you are.

:00:09.:00:09.

The leader of Brighton and Hove City Council has called

:00:10.:00:11.

for the Transport Secretary to step down if he can't resolve the

:00:12.:00:14.

long-running industrial dispute between Southern Rail

:00:15.:00:16.

Passengers on the network face more disruption over the next few days.

:00:17.:00:21.

The RMT Union begins another two-day strike at midnight tonight.

:00:22.:00:23.

It may not be a strike day today but there

:00:24.:00:31.

was still disruption at East Grinstead Station

:00:32.:00:33.

The next train for the station has no guard.

:00:34.:00:38.

The train's just been cancelled so we just wait.

:00:39.:00:41.

The whole week I haven't been able to get out of East Grinstead.

:00:42.:00:47.

Southern is changing the role of its guards making them on-board

:00:48.:00:50.

In future on occasions like today when there isn't a second member

:00:51.:00:54.

of staff available the train would be able to run.

:00:55.:00:58.

The unions are taking strike action because they don't

:00:59.:01:02.

Conductors with the RMT Union are due to walk out again for 48

:01:03.:01:08.

hours from midnight tonight in a dispute that's

:01:09.:01:11.

Today there were calls for the Transport Secretary

:01:12.:01:15.

to resign if he can't help find a resolution.

:01:16.:01:18.

I think if the Government can't deliver this, they are the

:01:19.:01:21.

ones in power, they should take responsibility

:01:22.:01:22.

and if he can't handle it, Chris Grayling should go.

:01:23.:01:24.

Talks at the conciliation service ACAS between the company and ASLEF

:01:25.:01:28.

One MP says the strikes have to stop but the franchise needs

:01:29.:01:35.

Everybody has to be round the table like they are at ACAS,

:01:36.:01:40.

there is a glimmer of hope, and I think the franchise needs

:01:41.:01:43.

to be restructured in the New Year and more investment to sort

:01:44.:01:46.

Southern is warning customers to expect significant disruption

:01:47.:01:50.

over the next two days and every day until the industrial action ends.

:01:51.:02:05.

The family of a 16-year old boy whose body was found in a lake

:02:06.:02:09.

Jack Morrisson was reported missing on Friday.

:02:10.:02:13.

His body was found by rescue teams yesterday after an extensive

:02:14.:02:15.

His family has described him as a "beautiful angel".

:02:16.:02:18.

His death is not being treated as suspicious.

:02:19.:02:24.

Plans to introduce lifeguards at Camber Sands have been put

:02:25.:02:27.

In its draft budget for the next financial year, ?51,000

:02:28.:02:30.

has been put aside to pay for lifeguards.

:02:31.:02:32.

The council has come under pressure to introduce more safety measures

:02:33.:02:35.

on the beach after seven men died in the water over the summer.

:02:36.:02:43.

There's little evidence that efforts to make the eleven plus exams

:02:44.:02:45.

"tutor proof" have helped disadvantaged pupils gain places

:02:46.:02:47.

at grammar schools, according to a report out today.

:02:48.:02:50.

The Kent Test was changed two years ago because of concerns it

:02:51.:02:52.

favoured privately-tutored and privately educated pupils.

:02:53.:02:57.

The study - by the Education Policy Institute -

:02:58.:02:59.

says it's highly unlikely that any test would be able to eliminate

:03:00.:03:02.

Friends and family of a Kent schoolgirl who was killed in a storm

:03:03.:03:13.

three years ago took part in a fundraising walk

:03:14.:03:15.

17-year-old Bethany Freeman died when a tree crashed onto a caravan

:03:16.:03:18.

she was sleeping in at Hever in October 2013.

:03:19.:03:20.

Today runners and walkers took part in the five kilometre event.

:03:21.:03:27.

She was a great sportswoman and she wanted everybody to play whether

:03:28.:03:30.

We said at the charity play for Beth, so everyone could.

:03:31.:03:39.

Time for the weather and there's more fog on the way for tomorrow.

:03:40.:03:42.

Mist or fog becoming widespread and the Met Office had issued another
