:00:12. > :00:18.The top stories tonight. One year after it started, we reveal the

:00:19. > :00:26.southern dispute has cost ?341 million.

:00:27. > :00:31.-- the Southern. Their mother died because she was a smoker and now

:00:32. > :00:33.these girls are setting up a campaign to get people to quit.

:00:34. > :00:49.And Maiden, It's been 12 months of strikes

:00:50. > :00:59.and major disruption for passengers. And today talks aimed at resolving

:01:00. > :01:01.the long-running dispute between the RMT Union

:01:02. > :01:03.and Southern Railway have been It's over the introduction

:01:04. > :01:14.of driver-only-operated trains. The BBC has estimated that the

:01:15. > :01:16.disruption is considered to have cost the South East economy ?341

:01:17. > :01:18.million. Tomorrow union members will be

:01:19. > :01:19.demonstrating outside Parliament to mark a year

:01:20. > :01:22.since the Southern strike began. It remains one of the UK's most

:01:23. > :01:26.protracted industrial disputes. And tomorrow an anniversary that

:01:27. > :01:28.nobody will be celebrating. Not being able to collect my

:01:29. > :01:31.children out of school. Having to get other people to get

:01:32. > :01:37.them at the last minute, sometimes not getting home

:01:38. > :01:40.until nine, ten o'clock at night, leaving at six o'clock

:01:41. > :01:42.in the morning, it has been awful. I am self-employed so I have

:01:43. > :01:45.probably lost out of thousands, basically, because I haven't been

:01:46. > :01:47.able to get to work. It hasn't got any better, really,

:01:48. > :01:51.until very recently, so, yeah, it has been life-changing

:01:52. > :01:53.for a lot of people. Not since the miners'

:01:54. > :01:57.strike has an industrial dispute rumbled on for so long,

:01:58. > :02:00.so why has it proved so intractable? Professor Richard Scase is an expert

:02:01. > :02:05.in industrial relations. I think behind the scenes,

:02:06. > :02:08.rather like in the miners' strike of 30 years ago,

:02:09. > :02:10.the government is trying to force management to take

:02:11. > :02:13.a pretty tough line, and in this case, with the franchise

:02:14. > :02:18.arrangements of Southern rail, the government has quite a strong

:02:19. > :02:21.hand to play with management in being tough with the unions,

:02:22. > :02:24.so it is a very intractable, At the heart of the dispute,

:02:25. > :02:28.the introduction of driver-only-operated trains

:02:29. > :02:31.and the changes to the roles and responsibilities

:02:32. > :02:35.of drivers and conductors. It was April the 26th last year that

:02:36. > :02:38.RMT conductors on Southern On December the 13th the train

:02:39. > :02:48.drivers' union Aslef began the first of six days of action

:02:49. > :02:51.by their members. Today, 364 days on,

:02:52. > :02:53.and still no resolution So, as an unwelcome anniversary

:02:54. > :03:05.dawns, still no end in sight. Let's go live to Worthing

:03:06. > :03:07.station and speak to our Sean, many commuters

:03:08. > :03:27.going through there will be We were hearing their commuters

:03:28. > :03:32.badly affected. One says he feels he has aged five years in the last

:03:33. > :03:38.year. 51,000 services have been fully or partially cancelled in the

:03:39. > :03:41.last year. This is the worst industrial dispute in nearly a

:03:42. > :03:46.quarter of a century. Because the company is paid by the government,

:03:47. > :03:55.the taxpayer foot the bill for lost their revenue, now totalling ?38

:03:56. > :03:57.million. The Conservative MP

:03:58. > :03:59.for Chichester, Andrew Tyrie, has announced he's standing down

:04:00. > :04:01.from Parliament at Mr Tyrie, who is 60,

:04:02. > :04:05.has been the MP there for 20 years, and says he will remain deeply

:04:06. > :04:08.committed to public service, and hopes he is young enough

:04:09. > :04:10.to contribute in other ways Two young sisters whose mother died

:04:11. > :04:14.from cancer caused by smoking Isabelle and Grace feature

:04:15. > :04:19.in a new film made by Portsmouth City Council

:04:20. > :04:21.called Smoking And Me. It'll be used to encourage

:04:22. > :04:23.people to give up. James Ingham has been

:04:24. > :04:25.to meet the girls. It is a note that my mum

:04:26. > :04:28.left me before she died. "I am so sorry for leaving

:04:29. > :04:32.you while you are so young. I would give anything to stay

:04:33. > :04:34.and see you grow up. Five is no age to be

:04:35. > :04:45.left without a mum." Paula Hutton was just 45

:04:46. > :04:47.when she died from cancer. Her daughters Issy and Grace

:04:48. > :04:50.were seven and five. They were having a barbecue

:04:51. > :04:52.and they were all sitting at the table, laughing and eating

:04:53. > :04:55.and stuff, and we were That is the main

:04:56. > :04:58.memory I have of her. It's kind of...think

:04:59. > :05:01.more happily about it, like how she is probably more happy

:05:02. > :05:05.now than when she was alive. Issy and Grace talk about their loss

:05:06. > :05:13.in a hard-hitting film. I woke up and I saw that

:05:14. > :05:16.her hospital bed wasn't Issy hopes by sharing

:05:17. > :05:23.what happened to her mum, I would say they should probably

:05:24. > :05:30.at least try to stop, if they do start, and if you haven't

:05:31. > :05:33.started then I don't I would hope they would think twice

:05:34. > :05:44.about the families obviously and the consequences

:05:45. > :05:48.of smoking and cancer. Portsmouth City Council's made

:05:49. > :05:50.the film to try to reduce More people smoke here -

:05:51. > :05:57.and more die as a result - It would be amazing if she was still

:05:58. > :06:04.here but I still have a grandad who is now like a mum to me so that

:06:05. > :06:08.makes me feel better. But Granddad has a lung condition,

:06:09. > :06:11.also brought on by smoking, that limits his ability to join

:06:12. > :06:16.in family fun. He's given up now, but warns others

:06:17. > :06:19.who haven't what they could lose. You will not be able

:06:20. > :06:21.to enjoy the things you did and ultimately you won't be able

:06:22. > :06:24.to enjoy your life, if you are taken prematurely,

:06:25. > :06:32.so, yeah, don't do it. "Please don't be too

:06:33. > :06:34.angry, and I know that Read this and know that I see

:06:35. > :06:39.the joy you bring and the total Football, and Premier League leaders

:06:40. > :06:47.Chelsea edged closer to the title with victory over Southampton

:06:48. > :06:49.at Stamford Bridge tonight. This fine header in stoppage time

:06:50. > :06:51.from former Chelsea player Ryan Bertrand gave Saints

:06:52. > :06:54.a second goal. But it wasn't enough

:06:55. > :07:05.to get them a victory over the Blues, who had already

:07:06. > :07:07.got four past the post. Final score at Stamford Bridge,

:07:08. > :07:20.Chelsea 4, Southampton 2. second ball, this is no good for us.

:07:21. > :07:23.We played against a good team and some amazing players.

:07:24. > :07:26.They made history as the first all-female crew to sail in

:07:27. > :07:29.The achievement made the yacht Maiden and her skipper,

:07:30. > :07:32.But Maiden fell on hard times and was discovered

:07:33. > :07:36.But she's to have a new lease of life.

:07:37. > :07:37.Today the boat arrived back in Southampton,

:07:38. > :07:39.where she'll undergo a full restoration, as Steve

:07:40. > :07:45.27 years after sailing into the history books on board

:07:46. > :07:49.Maiden, Tracy Edwards and some of her crew were reunited

:07:50. > :07:56.with the famous yacht that helped them to change so many perceptions.

:07:57. > :07:59.They were the very first all-female crew to complete

:08:00. > :08:10.They had been written off as no-hopers before the race had

:08:11. > :08:13.even begun but nine months later they were receiving a heroine's

:08:14. > :08:18.As we were doing the race, people did come round,

:08:19. > :08:20.a few people who said, "They'll never do it,"

:08:21. > :08:23.they came to me and said, "Proved wrong, I admit it."

:08:24. > :08:24...will present Tracy with her prize for coming

:08:25. > :08:32.Only in England could this happen, great maritime nation.

:08:33. > :08:35.For everyone on board, it was a life-changing experience.

:08:36. > :08:38.Well, it was the ultimate challenge at the time, wasn't it?

:08:39. > :08:40.Everybody said no, and all of us were built with that

:08:41. > :08:43.funny little button, that every time you pressed no

:08:44. > :08:49.After passing through many hands over the years,

:08:50. > :08:54.the yacht was found abandoned in the Seychelles.

:08:55. > :08:57.The plan now is to carry out a bow-to-stern renovation,

:08:58. > :09:00.and then she'll be used by the Maiden Factor

:09:01. > :09:12.project to promote girls' education around the world.

:09:13. > :09:15.I thought we could use Maiden to fundraise for them and to promote

:09:16. > :09:18.girls' education, and when we do our three-year world tour,

:09:19. > :09:20.after a year's restoration, as you can see, that is

:09:21. > :09:24.It was backing from the Jordanian royal family that got Maiden

:09:25. > :09:28.and her crew onto the start line for the Round the World Race just

:09:29. > :09:31.over a quarter of a century ago - and now they're supporting

:09:32. > :09:35.We were a bit of a fairy tale to some extent and this

:09:36. > :09:46.is still the fairy tale but the next chapter, and it is a great one.

:09:47. > :09:53.Thank you for your company. Reports of sleep in places tonight.

:09:54. > :09:58.We have had quite a few winter really showers through the course of

:09:59. > :10:03.the day, still one or two at large but it looks like for the most part

:10:04. > :10:08.tonight is dry, but cold and frosty as the temperatures take a tumble

:10:09. > :10:14.down to two or three in towns and cities, rural spots close to

:10:15. > :10:18.freezing. A chilly but bright start tomorrow, some good sunny skies to

:10:19. > :10:23.get the day going, but the cloud bubbling up and more showers

:10:24. > :10:30.arriving a bit earlier than they did today. They could be on the heavy

:10:31. > :10:35.side with some thunder, hail, sleep. Brisk northerly winds and if you

:10:36. > :10:40.dodge the showers some sunny spells and temperatures could creep up to

:10:41. > :10:47.11 or 12. We start Thursday on a bright and crisp note, chilly to

:10:48. > :10:51.start, but a weather front gradually sinking southwards, some fragmented

:10:52. > :10:55.rain and the cloud thickening, but this is the start of milder

:10:56. > :11:02.conditions, so less cool through Thursday. By the end of the week we

:11:03. > :11:03.expect further bright spells on Friday and Saturday, staying largely

:11:04. > :11:12.dry. Good evening. Another cold night

:11:13. > :11:18.lies ahead after what was a chilly day for swathes of the UK. This is

:11:19. > :11:23.the Highlands of Scotland. 25th of April and lying snow. Even snow

:11:24. > :11:27.further south, temporary accumulations in Staffordshire. Just

:11:28. > :11:29.down the road in Dudley, it was sunny spells and rain showers. A
