: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

:03:58. > :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

:04:11. > :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

:04:53. > :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

:05:51. > :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

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