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. | |

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 | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
intercourse with you, when xou don't intercourse with you, when xou don't | :02:56. | :02:58. | |

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. | |

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. | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
Neal, a taxi driver from thd say they are tackling the issue | :04:48. | :04:48. | |
Neal, a taxi driver from the Isle of Neal, a taxi driver from thd Isle of | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Sheppey and, he says it is too little too late. These potholes, you | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
little too late. These potholes you try and avoid them, but you put | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
yourself at risk of being hht by someone else coming the other | :05:01. | :05:01. | |
yourself at risk of being hit by someone else coming the othdr way. | :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 | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
false economy in the long run. There are potholes everywhere frol | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
false economy in the long rtn. There are potholes everywhere from your | :05:37. | :05:36. | |
are potholes everywhere frol your front wheel gets damaged. Probably | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
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 | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
that money `` so do people think getting more | :07:52. | :07:56. | |

of that money is a good idea? There of that money is a good idea? There | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
is a lot of ancient woodland, ancient downs. I would hate to see | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
that damaged, because once ht has gone, it has gone. You can't replace | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
it. We need to find other sources of energy, obviously, and it would be | :08:10. | :08:10. | |
good for the bills to come down, energy, obviously, and it would be | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
good for the bills to come down, but I'm still unsure as to how safe it | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
is, probably like most people. We do need more energy, don't we? But I | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
think people's worry, reallx, need more energy, don't we? But I | :08:20. | :08:20. | |

joins us from Balkan, which has seen huge demonstrations against | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
potential fracking `` Balcolbe. That is right, the potential site is | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
is right, the potential sitd is about a mile down the road, an MP | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
was arrested, huge disruption to the people here, and now they are in | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
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 | :09:20. | :09:20. | |
on top financial incentives? Certainly, some people to md have | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
said this summer, why are wd not talking about the money and getting | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
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 | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
take the money. The Government are giving their wholehearted b`cking | :09:38. | :09:38. | |
take the money. The Governmdnt are giving their wholehearted backing to | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
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 | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
involved in this debate. Thd Government policy is to take the | :09:50. | :09:51. | |

Government policy is to take the gas and oil in this unconventional | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
method and we have seen no policy shift on that. The reality hs that | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
Cuadrilla have not paid any business rates yet. Yes, I was speakhng to | :10:01. | :10:03. | |

out, they are sceptical abott the sums involved and it is something | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
that they are interested in learning the process of. As are we. We'll | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
have to wait and see whether the money will actually make its way | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
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. | :10:35. | :10:35. | |

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 | :11:27. | :11:30. | |

Sara Smith reports. Elegant waves of wood undulate | :13:42. | :13:48. | |

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. | |

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 | :15:04. | :15:07. | |

top 20 favourite novels of `ll Birdsong has been voted one of the | :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 | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
changed, it changed our idea of what changed, it changed our idea of what | :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 | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
sacrifice, ensuring veterans of the First World War are never forgotten. | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
Chrissie Reidy is at the Assembly Halls in Tunbridge Wells, where it | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
will be staged next month. Well, before it comes here to | :18:31. | :18:34. | |

the 24th. In case you were wondering, is the production | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
faithful to the original novel? At the Q and a today in London with | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
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 | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
everything for our top teams this weekend ` a win, a draw, a defeat | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
and a postponement. Crawley will be delighted bx their | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
Crawley will be delighted by their dramatic comeback yesterday but the | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
highlight of the weekend was another win for Brighton, which lifted them | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
into the play`offs. Neil Bell reports. | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
Despite their recent modest home record, Brighton supporters knew | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
that victory could be good enough to finally take the team into the top | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
six. The Albion created a ntmber of decent chances, including this | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
stinging shot from the lively LuaLua. And the Seagulls finally | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
took the lead early in the second half, when Andrew Crofts' crisp low | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
shot was saved, the ball eventually shot was saved, the ball eventually | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
came to David Lopez and his cleverly struck shot beat the | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
otherwise`excellent Darren Randolph. It wasn't all good news, however. | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
This seemingly innocuous challenge This seemingly innocuous ch`llenge | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
led to Andrew Crofts being carried off and he will now miss the rest | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
led to Andrew Crofts being carried off and he will now miss thd rest of | :19:49. | :19:52. | |

playing really, really well and he was helping us a lot. | :19:56. | :20:02. | |

am in total agreement with Greenpeace, it is a form of bribery | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
by the Government, putting local authorities in an impossible | :24:57. | :24:56. | |
authorities in an impossibld situation. If they accept, they are | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
selling out the ideals of the voters and if they do not, they cause | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
