Good evening. A woman who says she was raped up to 60 times at an NHS

:01:04.:01:10.

psychiatric Hospital in Kent says the institutions are "a playground

:01:11.:01:15.

for predators". She says her attacker put pressure on her by

:01:16.:01:19.

promising to secure her release from the unit.

:01:20.:01:22.

The man was later convicted and she received ?100,000 in compensation.

:01:23.:01:24.

Simon Jones is outside the Little Brook Hospital in Dartford, where

:01:25.:01:33.

the abuse happened. Simon, she is demanding better safeguards to be

:01:34.:01:35.

put in place. Yes, and she said her time here was

:01:36.:01:40.

like a living hell, as bad as any horror film she has ever sedn. What

:01:41.:01:42.

horror film she has ever seen. What took place here did happen several

:01:43.:01:46.

years ago, but it is only now that she has felt able to talk out about

:01:47.:01:50.

it, saying mental health patients are often left in a very vulnerable

:01:51.:01:54.

and dangerous position. Admitted to the hospital after

:01:55.:01:57.

suffering a nervous breakdown and anorexia, the woman who we `re

:01:58.:01:59.

unlawful sexual intercourse with a patient and was given a 12`lonth

In 2009, Catherine received ?100,000 in compensation. It was rapd, to me.

You're defeated, empty. You have no self`worth. Devoid of any emotion.

:02:48.:02:53.

And then somebody who is supposed to be caring for you has sexual

intercourse with you, when xou don't intercourse with you, when xou don't

have the capacity to stand up for yourself. That is rape. Kent and

:02:59.:03:05.

Medway NHS Social Care Partnership Trust said the incident occurred

:03:06.:03:06.

Trust said the incident occtrred prior to their formation, so they

:03:07.:03:09.

cannot comment on the specific case, but added:

:03:10.:03:26.

When somebody is in a psychiatric hospital, when they have a lental

:03:27.:03:30.

illness, they are particularly prone to any form of kindness, anyone

:03:31.:03:32.

illness, they are particularly prone to any form of kindness, anxone that

:03:33.:03:32.

to any form of kindness, anyone that offers them an escape from their

:03:33.:03:39.

inner despair. And for people who take advantage of that, it is a

:03:40.:03:43.

betrayal of trust, and that betrayal of trust is quite unforgivable. And

:03:44.:03:48.

Catherine says the vulnerable need more protection.

:03:49.:03:55.

Simon Jones reporting there. The huge quantities of rain that

:03:56.:03:58.

have fallen on the south`east in recent weeks, bringing flooding and

:03:59.:04:01.

misery for thousands, has also damaged our roads, creating hundreds

:04:02.:04:05.

of potholes. Kent County County are using extra crews to fix thd damage,

:04:06.:04:06.

using extra crews to fix the damage, and it's a similar picture `cross

:04:07.:04:08.

and it's a similar picture across the region. In the south`east, one

:04:09.:04:15.

in three drivers has reported pothole damage to their cars in the

:04:16.:04:18.

last two years. Normally, East Sussex Countx Council

:04:19.:04:19.

Normally, East Sussex County Council get around 40 or 50 calls a day from

:04:20.:04:23.

members of the public about potholes. But since the flooding

:04:24.:04:25.

over Christmas, they've recdived up to 200 calls a day. Peter Whittlesea

:04:26.:04:31.

reports. That pothole is a great example of

:04:32.:04:33.

That pothole is a great exalple of the standard of the road. It doesn't

:04:34.:04:38.

matter where you live, motorists claim that potholes are a htge

:04:39.:04:45.

problem thank you `` but the council say they are tackling the issue.

:05:02.:05:04.

Highway bosses say they are aware of the dangers provided by potholes,

:05:05.:05:09.

that is why they say repairs are underway. Members of the public are

:05:10.:05:13.

asked to report holes, said they can be fixed. There is something around

:05:14.:05:15.

the level of funding, but wd have the level of funding, but we have

:05:16.:05:20.

invested ?55 million in the last three years improving the road

:05:21.:05:23.

network and we have seen an improvement, certainly in a major

:05:24.:05:27.

roads. You don't get potholds and resurfaced roads. Many motorists

:05:28.:05:31.

think patching is a problem and a false economy in the long rtn. There

not, but at the same time, I front wheel gets damaged. Probably

:05:39.:05:40.

not, but at the same time, H think it is to do with budgets, there is

:05:41.:05:42.

no money and it must be very no money and it must be very

:05:43.:05:46.

difficult. They are obviously very bad, yes. And nothing is done in the

:05:47.:05:50.

winter, unless the surface hs winter, unless the surface is

:05:51.:05:55.

replaced. It is definitely getting worse. Industry experts agree and

:05:56.:06:00.

say more funding is needed. The Government is putting more money

:06:01.:06:03.

into road maintenance, but we will not see any of that until 2015 and

:06:04.:06:08.

in the meantime, the network continues to crumble. This current

:06:09.:06:11.

spate of really poor weather and heavy rain is simply going to make

:06:12.:06:17.

the problem worse. Councils claim potholes are properly patchdd and

:06:18.:06:18.

potholes are properly patched and filled and repairs were last, but

:06:19.:06:22.

they say successive cold and wet winters are taking their toll on the

:06:23.:06:25.

roads. In a moment:

:06:26.:06:31.

weaving art with history. The sculpture which intertwines the

:06:32.:06:38.

ruins of a Sussex manor house. The house was destroyed by fire, the

:06:39.:06:39.

sculpture will be destroyed by fire. Councils which back fracking will be

:06:40.:06:46.

allowed to keep much more of the revenue it generates. The Government

:06:47.:06:55.

says local authorities will receive 100% of all the business rates

:06:56.:06:58.

collected from onshore drilling schemes, instead of 50%. Almost

:06:59.:06:59.

collected from onshore drilling schemes, instead of 50%. Allost 20

:07:00.:06:59.

schemes, instead of 50%. Almost 20 licences have been issued to allow

:07:00.:07:03.

onshore oil and gas exploration in the south`east, including Coastal

:07:04.:07:06.

Oil's licence to drill in E`st Kent, one on the North Downs and

:07:07.:07:09.

Cuadrilla's licence in Sussex, which includes the controversial site at

:07:10.:07:14.

Balcombe. This could amount to around ?1.7 million a year for each

:07:15.:07:17.

site for the local councils, so these are formidable sums of money

:07:18.:07:21.

and I think it is right that local communities should share in the

:07:22.:07:24.

benefits. They will get the jobs, there is some industrial activity

:07:25.:07:28.

involved, but they will also be able to keep the money to improvd local

:07:29.:07:30.

to keep the money to improve local services.

:07:31.:07:35.

So how will the rebate work? At the moment, most Business Rates go to

:07:36.:07:38.

central Government and then a percentage is redistributed to fund

:07:39.:07:41.

local services. Today's announcement means that 100% of the taxes paid by

:07:42.:07:44.

oil and gas exploration companies will come back to local councils

:07:45.:07:48.

That could be as much as ?1.7 million for every exploration site

:07:49.:07:49.

So do people think getting lore of So do people think getting lore of

line to get a chunk of monex. line to get a chunk of money.

:08:52.:08:55.

I'm joined by the chair of the parish council. Are you going to

:08:56.:08:59.

take the money? I don't think we will see the money directly here in

:09:00.:09:02.

the village. What they are talking about today is business ratds, 0%

:09:03.:09:04.

about today is business rates, 50% of the business rights coming back,

:09:05.:09:09.

100% for the local district council, because they are the people who call

:09:10.:09:13.

on business rates. You think it will appeal to local people, to get money

:09:14.:09:19.

on top financial incentives? Certainly, some people to me

said this summer, why are wd not talking about the money and getting

something out of this for the community, but others are also

:09:26.:09:28.

saying we should judge this on its merits and not on the money and it

:09:29.:09:32.

is going to be a bad for Balcombe. If it was a good thing, we would

take the money. The Government are giving their wholehearted b`cking

take the money. The Governmdnt are giving their wholehearted backing to

fracking generally in the industry. How do you view that stands? It is

:09:41.:09:44.

certainly something we have seen in a last two years we have bedn

Government policy is to take the gas and oil in this unconventional

that they are interested in learning the process of. As are we. We'll

have to wait and see whether the money will actually make its way

down to local communities here money will actually make its way

:10:20.:10:20.

down to local communities hdre in Balcombe.

:10:21.:10:22.

Thanks, Mark. Well, it's sthll unclear exactly how much money will

:10:23.:10:25.

make its way back to local councils, but the Government wants to

:10:26.:10:28.

introduce the scheme by the spring of next year. We would like to know

:10:29.:10:34.

what you think. You can contact us via Facebook or email.

:11:20.:11:22.

because they don't like our curriculum. It feels like they are

:11:23.:11:26.

looking for any excuse right now, because, like I said, the amount of

work, we have tried to address every single issue they have put forward.

remaining ruins are owned bx the National Trust and surrounded by its

famous gardens. Now the history of the house is being recreated using a

:13:34.:13:36.

wooden sculpture. It intertwines the ruins and, in a few weeks' time,

:13:37.:13:38.

will be dramatically destroxed ruins and, in a few weeks' time

:13:39.:13:39.

will be dramatically destroxed the same way the building was ` by fire.

:13:40.:13:41.

Sara Smith reports. Elegant waves of wood undulate

:13:42.:13:48.

against the still`beautiful shell of this ruined home, weaving in and out

:13:49.:13:50.

of doorways and windows. French of doorways and windows. French

:13:51.:14:03.

sculptor Denis Tricot had heard the story of Nymans and visited once,

:14:04.:14:07.

but it was not until he started his piece that he knew how it would turn

:14:08.:14:09.

out. I did not prepare, I just out. I did not prepare, I just

:14:10.:14:13.

wanted to arrive with my pl`nks and draw within the space, you know?

:14:14.:14:19.

Because it is really different. We came in October, with the lhght

Because it is really differdnt. We came in October, with the light of

:14:22.:14:27.

very, very different. It is impulse, you say? He brought everyond of

:14:28.:14:30.

you say? He brought everyone of these poplar planks with hil from

:14:31.:14:33.

France, suspending them using nylon thread. Each piece of wood curves

:14:34.:14:37.

partly due to Denis's methods, and partly, he admits, of its own

:14:38.:14:42.

accord. Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about this

:14:43.:14:45.

sculpture isn't the way it has been created but the way it will meet its

:14:46.:14:53.

end. In five weeks' time, the whole thing is going to be set on fire. It

:14:54.:14:57.

is quite ephemeral, which works really well here, because obviously

:14:58.:15:00.

they lost the house here, so the house they built as their home ended

:15:01.:15:03.

up becoming quite ephemeral itself. So the sort of creation of something

:15:55.:15:56.

top 20 favourite novels of `ll time, been adapted as an award`winning

:15:57.:15:58.

television series and now the stage version is coming to Kent.

:15:59.:16:03.

Chrissie Reidy has been chatting with the novelist Sebastian Faulks

:16:04.:16:07.

about his work, which focuses on a young Englishman who embarks on a

:16:08.:16:09.

passionate and dangerous love affair.

:16:10.:16:12.

It is an epic tale of love `nd affair.

:16:13.:16:18.

It is an epic tale of love and war. Birdsong, written by Sebasthan

:16:19.:16:19.

Birdsong, written by Sebastian Faulks, was so successful as a novel

:16:20.:16:23.

it has become part of the English literature syllabus and, last year,

:16:24.:16:29.

was adapted for TV. It is a book that people respond to in a very

:16:30.:16:34.

sort of visceral way. It is about making love and dying. It is about

:16:35.:16:38.

the uses of the human body hn extremes of death and love. And I

:16:39.:16:43.

think it also has a narrative that drives pretty strongly. This year

:16:44.:16:49.

will mark the 100th year since the outbreak of the First World War.

:16:50.:16:53.

With the last living link to the Western front gone, the touring

:16:54.:16:56.

production of Birdsong is an opportunity for audiences to ask

:16:57.:16:59.

questions. The whole country is becoming swept up and will become

:17:00.:17:03.

more so, with World War One, commemorating it, remembering it,

:17:04.:17:05.

arguing about it, what caused it, what went wrong, how did we get into

:17:06.:17:09.

this terrible mess when Europe killed more than ten million of its

:17:10.:17:13.

best man for no real reason that anyone seems to be able to agree on?

:17:14.:17:23.

A love story at heart, it ddpicts the horrors of tunnel warfare and

:17:24.:17:28.

the harrowing experiences of Stephen Raynsford and the young men fighting

:17:29.:17:31.

on the front line in northern France. I would love people to come

:17:32.:17:37.

away with a sense of, as you say, away with a sense of, as yot say,

:17:38.:17:41.

disbelief that this was allowed to happen, but also to remember what

:17:42.:17:42.

people did for us and to remember people did for us and to remember

:17:43.:17:46.

that humans are capable of behaving like this. Said that since we assume

:17:47.:17:56.

is we must never allow this to happen again. `` that sense. I want

:17:57.:18:00.

my men out now. What Birdsong's contribution is, as it were, to the

:18:01.:18:03.

whole commemoration, the centenary, is to make us think what kind of

:18:04.:18:07.

animal a human being really is. And I think that really is what 191 `18

:18:10.:18:11.

we are. It is a story of cotrage changed, it changed our ide` of what

:18:12.:18:14.

we are. It is a story of courage and we are. It is a story of courage and

Chrissie Reidy is at the Assembly Halls in Tunbridge Wells, where it

faithful to the original novel? At the Q and a today in London with

Sebastian Faulks, he does admit it is very different but in terms of

:18:52.:18:56.

the sense of loss and the World War I legacy, it is still as powerful.

:18:57.:18:59.

OK, thank you. On to football and there was one of
