:00:07. > :00:14.Hello, I'm sorry Taylor. Tonight, going underground, after 30 years of
:00:15. > :00:18.talks, controversial new plans for a major tunnel near Stonehenge. This
:00:19. > :00:23.scheme has now been proposed, it is a major disaster for the world
:00:24. > :00:32.Heritage site. It really is. Let's take it on the table, yes. The
:00:33. > :00:39.strike has cost the taxpayer ?60 million, but you were to cover the
:00:40. > :00:46.cost of rail strikes in the future. Every parent's nightmare, a child
:00:47. > :00:51.won't sleep, but can all children be taught the art of slumber? And girls
:00:52. > :00:53.are back on the road again in the same car, sharing a fond memories of
:00:54. > :00:59.a fond memories of the 1970s Raleigh. We decided the best bet was
:01:00. > :01:00.to have paper knickers, so we won't have to worry about washing
:01:01. > :01:07.knickers. Critics say it would
:01:08. > :01:11.cause irreparable damage to a world heritage site,
:01:12. > :01:14.but, after almost 30 years of debate, new plans
:01:15. > :01:16.for the region's most controversial A tunnel - just under two miles long
:01:17. > :01:25.- to bury the A303 as it passes There will also be a bypass for
:01:26. > :01:28.the village of Winterbourne Stoke. The total cost of the scheme
:01:29. > :01:31.is more than ?2 billion. Our transport correspondent
:01:32. > :01:45.Paul Clifton is at the What do we know, Paul? Sourly,
:01:46. > :01:51.successive governments have loved this idea, and then they've hated it
:01:52. > :01:56.-- Sally. Years after the tunnel idea was resurrected, we have the
:01:57. > :02:00.plans. Seven miles of dual carriageway, the centrepiece, a 1.8
:02:01. > :02:05.mile tunnel. Now, put this in perspective. In decade, no other new
:02:06. > :02:14.road in southern England has cost this much money. At ?1.4 billion, it
:02:15. > :02:18.is more than three times the price of the tunnel, 15 times of the
:02:19. > :02:20.Weymouth relief road. And it is profoundly controversial.
:02:21. > :02:27.The solution, make the whole route a dual carriageway.
:02:28. > :02:29.The National Trust hopes it will eventually look like
:02:30. > :02:34.It actually makes a big difference to the World Heritage
:02:35. > :02:38.We will have 1.8 miles of clear space in the World Heritage
:02:39. > :02:43.We would look to start construction in early 2020 and have
:02:44. > :02:48.the road open, with all its benefits, by 2024.
:02:49. > :02:52.But some people believe the proposed tunnel is much
:02:53. > :02:58.If they're going to put a tunnel in, it needs to be long
:02:59. > :03:01.enough not to do any further damage to the site.
:03:02. > :03:05.With this scheme as now has been proposed, it's a major
:03:06. > :03:07.disaster for the World Heritage Site.
:03:08. > :03:12.And it is a shocking indictment on our
:03:13. > :03:14.government, that it would consider damaging
:03:15. > :03:16.a World Heritage Site in
:03:17. > :03:22.Winterbourne Stoke will get a much-needed bypass, perhaps
:03:23. > :03:26.through here to the north of the village, an embankment, using spoil
:03:27. > :03:37.Yes, we campaigned for a dual, that could be a
:03:38. > :03:40.dual tunnel, a dual carriageway, a dual anything, but we need what's
:03:41. > :03:47.This is the most difficult part, but the
:03:48. > :03:50.bigger picture is an expressway to the south-west, with average speeds
:03:51. > :04:08.The A33 follows the line of an ancient route, one of Britain's
:04:09. > :04:13.hideous roads. But it was not until six years ago that it was the main
:04:14. > :04:19.road, it only took that role when lorries got bigger and they had to
:04:20. > :04:25.avoid towns. Salisbury, Shastri. The tunnel idea appeared in 1989, after
:04:26. > :04:31.Selby is planning the government decided it was a bad idea, it was
:04:32. > :04:36.dropped. Two years later it was back, then a public enquiry approved
:04:37. > :04:41.it. Ten years ago the cost reached ?500 million, so it was dropped,
:04:42. > :04:45.again. Four years ago, the idea came back three thirds time, but now the
:04:46. > :04:50.tunnel was to be much longer and cost more than twice as much. Then,
:04:51. > :04:55.at Stonehenge, Prime Minister David Cameron made the promise. We have
:04:56. > :04:58.managed the nation's finances carefully, the money is there in the
:04:59. > :05:04.budget and you will see that in the Autumn Statement on Wednesday, is
:05:05. > :05:08.this will go ahead. So, what happens next? Public consultation starts
:05:09. > :05:11.now, and a preferred route will be fixed this summer. The target is to
:05:12. > :05:16.start digging in three years' time and it will take four years to
:05:17. > :05:26.build. What are the chances of this happening, it is the third attempt?
:05:27. > :05:29.It is without doubt one of the most controversial road schemes in the
:05:30. > :05:31.entire country. Lots of people will hate it, locals broadly like it.
:05:32. > :05:34.There will have to be a dual carriageway, the amount of traffic
:05:35. > :05:37.the man said. It is a notorious bottleneck. But in transport terms,
:05:38. > :05:42.it makes no difference whether the dual carriageway is on the ground
:05:43. > :05:46.beneath it. The tunnel is really an environmental scheme to protect our
:05:47. > :05:50.most famous ancient monument. Ultimately, whether it gets built
:05:51. > :05:55.not depends on how much as a we are willing to pay to remove the traffic
:05:56. > :06:02.from our global icon of Stonehenge. And at ?1.4 billion, it comes quite
:06:03. > :06:06.a price tag. It is likely to go ahead, but there still time to yet
:06:07. > :06:09.another change of heart. Paul, thank you very much.
:06:10. > :06:11.After two days of strikes, drivers on Southern Rail
:06:12. > :06:13.returned to work today - but not for long.
:06:14. > :06:14.Industrial action will resume from midnight.
:06:15. > :06:17.Tonight, we hear the story of Alex Prosser-Snelling from Horsham.
:06:18. > :06:20.His daily commute to London has been disrupted for the last 10 months -
:06:21. > :06:23.and it's got so bad, he now cycles for part of the route.
:06:24. > :06:35.Two years ago, Alex Prosser-Snelling started commuting from Horsham to
:06:36. > :06:40.London and the journey taken on a heart. For the past year it has
:06:41. > :06:45.taken between two and five hours one-way, often requiring a route
:06:46. > :06:50.involving car, train and bicycle. It has taken its toll and Alex and the
:06:51. > :06:54.people with whom he usually travels. I have two small children so bedroom
:06:55. > :06:58.is eight o'clock at night. Sometimes they will wait sometimes they won't.
:06:59. > :07:02.I know people who've lost their jobs because of it and I know people who
:07:03. > :07:08.to have a house move, people who've lost their relationship, the impact
:07:09. > :07:12.is appalling. Alexeev a passenger representative on board said by
:07:13. > :07:15.government to improve the government. He said the service is
:07:16. > :07:19.not a normal franchise operations of the government should take greater
:07:20. > :07:22.responsibility. When you buy your ticket, the money goes to the
:07:23. > :07:28.government, said this is not a franchise, it's a contract and the
:07:29. > :07:31.Department for Transport keeps revenue. Southern Dem commentate
:07:32. > :07:36.you, it is a taxpayer who pays. It is the taxpayer that will pay the
:07:37. > :07:40.extra compensation per season ticket holders, so this starts at the door
:07:41. > :07:43.of the Department for Transport, namely to intervene much more
:07:44. > :07:48.actively to get a resolution to this long-running dispute. Passengers who
:07:49. > :07:58.like cannon fodder, we just wanted resolved and that really is a that
:07:59. > :08:04.advancement -- responsibility for the Department for Transport.
:08:05. > :08:06.It's been revealed that the government is to put clauses
:08:07. > :08:09.in new rail franchise agreements that will allow employers to claim
:08:10. > :08:11.back any revenue they may lose because of industrial action over
:08:12. > :08:17.The Department for Transport say modernisation is needed,
:08:18. > :08:20.but the RMT say taxpayers shouldn't be forced to foot the bill.
:08:21. > :08:23.The role of guards is the cause of months of strike
:08:24. > :08:25.Meanwhile, in Liverpool, plans by Merseyrail
:08:26. > :08:27.to introduce the scheme are also proving controversial.
:08:28. > :08:29.Today, the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn spoke
:08:30. > :08:31.about the dispute to our political editor Peter Henley.
:08:32. > :08:35.Southern Rail has to fess up and deal with the issue.
:08:36. > :08:41.They've run a bad service, they've run short trains,
:08:42. > :08:45.they've cancelled trains, they've still been paid
:08:46. > :08:47.by the government to do it
:08:48. > :08:49.and it is a very odd sort of contractual
:08:50. > :08:51.government pays them whether they run
:08:52. > :08:53.the service or not, and the
:08:54. > :08:54.government retains the fare income from it.
:08:55. > :08:56.The RMT tell us today that the government
:08:57. > :09:00.new contracts for Northern Rail, for South West Trains, saying they will
:09:01. > :09:02.reimburse them for future strike action.
:09:03. > :09:04.Would you allow that to happen, do you agree with that?
:09:05. > :09:08.seems a very odd way of doing things because
:09:09. > :09:11.government is then abdicating their responsibility on that.
:09:12. > :09:14.Surely it is up to the franchisee, where they run
:09:15. > :09:16.a service, to run it properly and to have good
:09:17. > :09:19.relations with its staff, rather than have this back-up with
:09:20. > :09:22.the government saying, it doesn't matter how
:09:23. > :09:24.bad your relationships get, you will continue to get your
:09:25. > :09:30.Is it the safety issue that you are backing the union on?
:09:31. > :09:32.Because in Liverpool, they are introducing
:09:33. > :09:34.driver only trains, and this is a Labour authority.
:09:35. > :09:38.They've come to an agreement, I assume, on that in
:09:39. > :09:50.Let's go back to the issue of Southern.
:09:51. > :09:53.The safety issue, you've got packed trains, you've got one
:09:54. > :09:56.driver with four seconds to decide whether or not the train is safe to
:09:57. > :10:00.It only wants one mistake, somebody's hand trapped in a door,
:10:01. > :10:02.bag trapped in a door, not spotted, we've got a dangerous situation.
:10:03. > :10:05.The RMT say they are in dispute about driver operated trains on
:10:06. > :10:10.I want them to come to an agreement on it, everywhere.
:10:11. > :10:12.And let's just go back to the issue of
:10:13. > :10:14.Southern, they've run a terrible service.
:10:15. > :10:17.They've disrupted a lot of people's lives, and the strike is a
:10:18. > :10:20.result of all of that service problem.
:10:21. > :10:23.Surely it is up to the government to encourage Southern and
:10:24. > :10:28.the union to get together and make an agreement on the safety issue,
:10:29. > :10:31.just as much as I'm sure Joe Anderson in
:10:32. > :10:32.Liverpool has come to an
:10:33. > :10:36.How many of your MPs would join you on a Southern
:10:37. > :10:39.They know it sends the wrong message to the
:10:40. > :10:43.Well, the message to commuters is simply this, we want a
:10:44. > :10:45.rail system that works, we want everyone to
:10:46. > :10:50.nobody's interest to have a strike, it is in nobody's interests to have
:10:51. > :10:53.disruption, but that's what happens when a company doesn't
:10:54. > :11:06.recognise that there are legitimate safety concerns.
:11:07. > :11:08.Later, warnings of icy conditions tonight.
:11:09. > :11:12.Here's Alexis braving the wintry conditions.
:11:13. > :11:19.Snow has been falling in many places, but wanted clears, big issue
:11:20. > :11:22.tonight will be ice. I will have the details for you shortly.
:11:23. > :11:24.Many of you may have seen snow today.
:11:25. > :11:27.In some parts of the South, it's been a light flurry
:11:28. > :11:31.And, as temperatures drop, people are being warned to stay safe
:11:32. > :11:34.in the icy conditions, Let's join Ben Moore in Reading,
:11:35. > :11:53.Yes, I'm sorry to disappoint you, we had quite a lot of snow and sleet at
:11:54. > :11:58.about five o'clock until six o'clock, it cause a lot of problems,
:11:59. > :12:01.but now we barely got a rather cold drizzle. It seems like a lot of
:12:02. > :12:08.people left to work early expecting the snow, and it has calmed down.
:12:09. > :12:11.But other travel, the airport around Southampton and Gatwick have
:12:12. > :12:16.survived their dusting of snow, any problems they have were because by
:12:17. > :12:21.those flights that were cancelled at Heathrow. The message from them is
:12:22. > :12:25.do check before you travel. As Alexis just mentioned briefly, the
:12:26. > :12:30.big problem tonight is going to be ice. The local authorities across
:12:31. > :12:33.the South are saying this now that has fallen has melted, a lot of
:12:34. > :12:36.water on the roads, with the freezing temperatures and night,
:12:37. > :12:42.very icy conditions expected tomorrow. When the road will be
:12:43. > :12:46.busiest at rush hour. The message is, do check everything, take the
:12:47. > :12:49.roads, check the airports before you travel tomorrow. Whilst we may have
:12:50. > :12:55.survived the worst night, it could cause trouble tomorrow. Alexis is
:12:56. > :12:56.coming up shortly. Now, yesterday, we had an exclusive
:12:57. > :12:59.insight into the work of the Children's Sleep Service in
:13:00. > :13:00.Southampton. They treat highly unusual sleep
:13:01. > :13:02.disorders, conditions In a moment we'll hear just why
:13:03. > :13:06.childhood sleep is so important, first Chrissy Sturt reports
:13:07. > :13:12.on another difficult case. He's very cheeky, since he was
:13:13. > :13:17.a baby he was walking early, talking Ever since he was born,
:13:18. > :13:28.Lucas has woken He screams and screams and screams
:13:29. > :13:40.and screams and we don't know what's It's like he's almost having
:13:41. > :13:48.a fit, you can't even You've literally just
:13:49. > :13:52.got to let him ride He struggles the next day,
:13:53. > :13:57.his behaviour is really changing. He's not getting
:13:58. > :13:59.the sleep he should. He should be getting at least
:14:00. > :14:02.12, 13 hours a night. You never get a chance to actually
:14:03. > :14:05.catch up on your sleep, you need to sleep for months,
:14:06. > :14:09.I think, to be able to feel normal Lucas's broken nights seem severe,
:14:10. > :14:14.but this family don't meet the strict criteria for a referral
:14:15. > :14:21.to the Southampton sleep clinic. It would absolutely not be
:14:22. > :14:25.right for every child with a sleep problem
:14:26. > :14:28.We should only be seeing probably 5% or
:14:29. > :14:31.less of children with sleep problems.
:14:32. > :14:34.That leaves a care gap of families like this.
:14:35. > :14:36.Too complex for health visitors, but not severe
:14:37. > :14:43.enough Cathy's team at Southampton's sleep disorder service.
:14:44. > :14:44.enough for Cathy's team at Southampton's
:14:45. > :14:47.The answer is to train more community nurses
:14:48. > :14:49.who can visit families in their own homes.
:14:50. > :14:52.Rachel has now received such specialist help.
:14:53. > :14:55.The vast majority of children can be taught how to
:14:56. > :14:58.settle themselves to sleep that night and how to settle themselves
:14:59. > :15:03.back to sleep when they wake up at night, which they will do naturally.
:15:04. > :15:07.Cathy's aim is to train many more community nurses to meet these
:15:08. > :15:12.You've got to be living it to realise how stressful and how bad it
:15:13. > :15:19.Not only is the child not sleeping, the parents aren't
:15:20. > :15:30.And we all know what that feels like, maybe on one tonight,
:15:31. > :15:33.And we all know what that feels like, maybe on one night,
:15:34. > :15:37.but what we don't know what that feels like it if it is happening for
:15:38. > :15:40.Even though he's tired, and he tells me he's tired,
:15:41. > :15:43.It can break marriages, it can ruin families, it
:15:44. > :15:47.Earlier, I spoke to Dr Cathy Hill, who runs the clinic,
:15:48. > :15:50.and she began by explaining why sleep is so important for children.
:15:51. > :15:55.So, I think the starting point is, children spent half their lives
:15:56. > :15:58.So, I think the starting point is, children spend half their lives
:15:59. > :16:01.If there wasn't something fundamentally important about that,
:16:02. > :16:04.So sleep cuts through everything in terms
:16:05. > :16:08.terms of your mental health, so we tend to be only interested
:16:09. > :16:10.in sleep when we're not getting it, and we
:16:11. > :16:13.forget that when we are asleep, there are lots of amazing things
:16:14. > :16:15.happening in the brain and in the body.
:16:16. > :16:17.So, example, healing, learning, things that you've learned
:16:18. > :16:20.in the day are actually stored away in your brain,
:16:21. > :16:24.So, when this goes wrong, it has a big impact later in life,
:16:25. > :16:27.Well, that's a really interesting question, potentially yes.
:16:28. > :16:29.That information and research has just
:16:30. > :16:33.started to evolve, but there's some very interesting data that suggests
:16:34. > :16:38.So what is it, then, that triggers the sleep
:16:39. > :16:42.So there is a whole array of sleep disorders in
:16:43. > :16:45.The one that we most commonly see is what we call
:16:46. > :16:47.behavioural insomnia, and the main principle
:16:48. > :16:49.to understand that is that
:16:50. > :16:52.all children, in fact all of us, naturally wake up multiple times
:16:53. > :16:57.We don't remember it, they're often brief awakenings.
:16:58. > :17:00.And what children have to learn to do is settle back to sleep after
:17:01. > :17:04.And that's why it often goes wrong in young
:17:05. > :17:07.And it's interesting what you have said in the films we've
:17:08. > :17:13.seen, that children can learn and do learned how to sleep
:17:14. > :17:15.seen, that children can learn and do learn how to sleep
:17:16. > :17:20.So, is it our fault as adults that we are not teaching them
:17:21. > :17:30.There's often reasons we can find as to why
:17:31. > :17:38.Sometimes perhaps a child has got a physical illness,
:17:39. > :17:40.and that makes it much, much harder for parents
:17:41. > :17:44.And one of the top tricks for young children, and the
:17:45. > :17:47.parents of young children, is to teach the child to self
:17:48. > :17:49.soothe, to settle themselves to sleep at the
:17:50. > :17:52.And how do you do that, what are the tricks?
:17:53. > :17:54.Because there's something called sleep hygiene you talk about?
:17:55. > :17:56.One of the things we say to parents is
:17:57. > :17:59.imagine when your child naturally wakes at perhaps 11 o'clock at
:18:00. > :18:02.Does their bedroom look exactly the same as when they
:18:03. > :18:04.settled to sleep at the beginning of the night?
:18:05. > :18:07.And almost always when we see children in clinic, there is
:18:08. > :18:10.Whether it is the light show on the ceiling
:18:11. > :18:13.when a child is falling asleep, the music that is playing,
:18:14. > :18:15.the parent that is sitting alongside them,
:18:16. > :18:18.And imagine yourself, if you woke up and your
:18:19. > :18:19.room suddenly look different, you would struggle
:18:20. > :18:24.You are one of only a few centres in the UK, you've got a huge waiting
:18:25. > :18:28.You can't take all the referrals that come to you.
:18:29. > :18:30.How frustrating is it that you can't help
:18:31. > :18:37.practically every day, saying, when am I going to be seen?
:18:38. > :18:39.And that's very frustrating, but obviously we
:18:40. > :18:42.have the resources we have, we'd love to have more resources, and we
:18:43. > :18:45.So it all comes down to money, does it?

:19:42. > :19:43.of the same competition. Last night it was Southampton
:19:44. > :19:45.who dominated for long The only concern that they didn't
:19:46. > :19:49.score more in this first leg. A minute after missing

:19:52. > :19:59.playing with a flourish, something Saints fans haven't

:20:18. > :20:26.more than one goal? Hopefully we can do the same
:20:27. > :20:38.in a fortnight's time. Definitely should have had more
:20:39. > :20:41.than one, but they should have had more than one as well,

:23:26. > :23:30.seemed like a lifetime. It wasn't a lifetime, it was a flash. Gosh,
:23:31. > :23:36.there is those in our lovely green dresses and red jackets. On the
:23:37. > :23:43.ramp, we are starting our huge adventure. We were young. I think I
:23:44. > :23:47.was the youngest. The team was well-prepared, mechanically and
:23:48. > :23:52.personally. We decided the best bet was to have paper knickers, so we
:23:53. > :23:57.could discard them, not worry about washing. Such ingenuity might return

:24:09. > :24:14.shame, she is no longer with us. She will love it. We are going to miss
:24:15. > :24:21.her, we have to change a tyre. Should we take her out? See if we
:24:22. > :24:27.can still do it. She hasn't driven competitively since the early 70s,
:24:28. > :24:31.but you would never guess. In April they will drive to Portugal once
:24:32. > :24:35.again, this time in a classic car rally. It's a bit more control
:24:36. > :24:40.because of health and safety. You can't do what we used to do, please
:24:41. > :24:45.do have one night sleep, not any more. The sport may have changed,
:24:46. > :24:46.but the car and especially the driver looked as fast and furious as
:24:47. > :24:59.ever. Come on, go, girls. Fearless! What a
:25:00. > :25:04.ride. OK, onto the weather, you want to know what's going on. Still the
:25:05. > :25:06.risk of snow and ice is the big issue.
