:03:44. > :03:46.calls have been allowed to act with impunity,
:03:47. > :03:48.according to union leaders. A leaked report on bullying
:03:49. > :03:51.and staff harassment at the troubled South East Coast Ambulance Trust
:03:52. > :03:53.was covered up according to the GMB, which represents
:03:54. > :03:57.control room workers. The independent report,

:04:29. > :04:32.suffered bullying, coercion and intimidation, it was that, with two
:04:33. > :04:38.even attempting suicide. Looking at some of the findings in this report,
:04:39. > :04:41.as you would imagine I am appalled. Beyond disappointed. I am very
:04:42. > :04:48.angry. If these allegations to come through, then very serious questions
:04:49. > :04:51.need to be asked. The allegations include staff receiving abusive,
:04:52. > :04:56.sometimes anonymous phone calls. Women were called obscene names. A
:04:57. > :04:58.culture of favouritism and nepotism meant victims were threatened with
:04:59. > :05:04.the sack or those responsible were detected. The trust declined to make
:05:05. > :05:08.anyone available for us to interview. In a statement, they
:05:09. > :05:11.described these as historical allegations, which had either been
:05:12. > :05:16.dealt with, or had no evidence to back them up. But they did say they
:05:17. > :05:22.take bullying and harassment very seriously, and were working hard to
:05:23. > :05:27.address this area of concern. The union which represents call
:05:28. > :05:31.handlers, though, says that with senior staff responsible still in
:05:32. > :05:35.place, the trust must do more. Clearly as these members of staff
:05:36. > :05:39.are still there, and still undertake high positions within the trust, it
:05:40. > :05:42.has not been dealt with. That is an outright lie by the trust. If they
:05:43. > :05:46.have been dealt with, it has been too lenient and behind closed laws.

:17:06. > :17:09.word on the rails after the drivers union Aslef reached a deal with
:17:10. > :17:14.Southern 12 days ago. Far from it, says one of its members, who wants
:17:15. > :17:18.to remain anonymous for fear of disciplinary action for speaking
:17:19. > :17:21.out. I think our union don't realise the strength of feeling that the
:17:22. > :17:27.drivers have, that we are prepared for a long battle. When we get a no
:17:28. > :17:31.vote, which hopefully we will do, that battle will continue. Do you
:17:32. > :17:36.think commuters can go on with the long battle? Well, we know it has
:17:37. > :17:43.affected the local economy. We have had figures of ?300 billion and beat
:17:44. > :17:46.around for the south-east economy, and that is the sort of pressure
:17:47. > :17:52.that you has to put onto the government to take some action. The
:17:53. > :17:56.network was brought to a standstill when Aslef joined the RMT and a
:17:57. > :18:00.walk-out over the introduction of driver only operated trains, and
:18:01. > :18:05.changes to the role of cards. And yet, without the RMT, a deal was
:18:06. > :18:09.brokered. Aslef agreed that drivers would operate the train doors, and
:18:10. > :18:16.Southern agreed to a second member of staff on board except in some
:18:17. > :18:21.exceptional circumstances. An unsafe deal, it is claimed. Our concerns is
:18:22. > :18:25.that eventually someone will get trapped in a door, the driver won't
:18:26. > :18:30.see them on the cameras, which are very poor at the moment, and we will
:18:31. > :18:35.end up in court. As soon as we move, those camera images go off, so
:18:36. > :18:41.anybody who has run and slipped between the platform, we will not

:21:34. > :21:37.one stating "you will be in hell very soon", and another accusing him
:21:38. > :21:40.of being a spy for the Crusaders, and sentencing him and his family
:21:41. > :21:45.He handed in these death threats to the Home Office,
:21:46. > :21:47.but says it refused to accept that the letters were genuine,
:21:48. > :22:00.To put yourself in a position like him, being really let down

:22:11. > :22:12.are carefully considered, based on evidence provided
:22:13. > :22:15.Experts say the assessment criteria is strict.
:22:16. > :22:20.The Home Office will always consider whether it is possible to relocate

:22:22. > :22:26.about the possibility of granting asylum in the UK.
:22:27. > :22:29.For now, Javed will continue living illegally here while he renews
:22:30. > :22:42.Many of the biggest bands of the '60s had one hugely

:22:44. > :22:46.They used amplifiers made in Dartford.
:22:47. > :22:50.The first Vox amplifier was released in 1958,
:22:51. > :22:53.suddenly giving guitarists a way of achieving a much bigger sound.
:22:54. > :22:57.In 1962, the Beatles were given a full set of amps,
:22:58. > :23:00.in exchange for being used in Vox's publicity shots, and it worked.
:23:01. > :23:03.Vox amps went on to be used by everyone from the Rolling Stones
:23:04. > :23:05.and the Kinks, to Brian May and Paul Weller,
:23:06. > :23:11.This week, the role of the Dartford firm who made them has been
:23:12. > :23:30.They were scenes never seen before, or perhaps since. It is a music
:23:31. > :23:36.revolution, lived by teenagers who are today's grandparents and great
:23:37. > :23:42.grandparents. Have another look, and see if you can see what is behind
:23:43. > :23:48.all these young stars. It is the Vox amplifiers. Everybody wanted a Vox
:23:49. > :23:53.amp. If you had one of them, you had the bees knees. The Beatles used
:23:54. > :23:58.them in the early days. They were the foundation for everything. The
:23:59. > :24:03.hidden history here is that Fox is as much a part of Dartford folklore
:24:04. > :24:06.as the story of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards who grew up there.
:24:07. > :24:14.Hidden history and failed today in the place where the company that
:24:15. > :24:17.made pumps and guitars was born. Anyone who has listened to popular
:24:18. > :24:20.music in the last 60 years would be listening to the sound of Vox. It is
:24:21. > :24:24.important to mark the impression we made on all that music. Everyone
:24:25. > :24:29.from the Beatles to the Rolling Stones, they all used Fox and the
:24:30. > :24:33.fires and they gave those artists their unmistakable sound. The
:24:34. > :24:37.recognition at last for 119 Dartford Rd. It may look a bit
:24:38. > :24:44.unprepossessing, but it has a firm place in the history of rock 'n'
:24:45. > :24:47.roll. The sheds and workshops supplied amplifiers, guitars and all
:24:48. > :24:52.sorts of equipment to the famous around the world. Explore me times
:24:53. > :24:55.for the young Dartford workers. I can remember the Dave Clark five, or
:24:56. > :25:02.five of them. They came along, didn't they? You'll Weimann came,
:25:03. > :25:08.didn't he? Yes. The Rolling Stones were local lads. I saw John Lennon
:25:09. > :25:15.and Paul McCartney come here to look around. And iconic name, and it is a
:25:16. > :25:21.music legend, proudly remembered in its home town.
:25:22. > :25:26.Now, let's take a look at the weather and what it is going to be
:25:27. > :25:31.doing. Rachel, it is going to be better tomorrow?
:25:32. > :25:35.Yes, that's right. Nothing like the clear blue skies that we had
:25:36. > :25:40.yesterday. It will be mild with temperatures reaching highs of 11 or
:25:41. > :25:44.12 degrees. Some of us started today with a fast, but the main story
:25:45. > :25:47.today, lots of cloud and temperatures on the rise from
:25:48. > :25:54.yesterday. Rather a dull picture with top temperatures of nine or 10
:25:55. > :25:58.degrees. For the next couple of days, the trend is it will be
:25:59. > :26:01.increasingly mild. There will be some rain tomorrow, heading through
:26:02. > :26:07.the rest of the week high pressure builds, foggy starts to the day, but
:26:08. > :26:11.brighter by the afternoon. As we had through tonight, a lot of cloud, and
:26:12. > :26:15.eventually we will see a band of rain. Not heavy, but some patchy
:26:16. > :26:22.drizzle around as we get towards the early hours of tomorrow morning.
:26:23. > :26:25.Once again a very mild night. Seven or 8 degrees in rural spots. Very
:26:26. > :26:31.mild as we start Wednesday. Initially quite damp. That first
:26:32. > :26:34.band of rain clears, dryer for a time, and as we head to the
:26:35. > :26:43.afternoon there is another round of rain, which will be heavy at times.
:26:44. > :26:49.Lots of cloud around, but very mild. Once again, Dell and damp. The wind
:26:50. > :26:54.is back to a southerly direction. Not particularly easy to stop it
:26:55. > :27:01.will ease off from Wednesday into Thursday. A cooler picture as we
:27:02. > :27:06.start Thursday, but temperatures still miles for the time of year.
:27:07. > :27:11.Missed and Fog first thing because of that area of high pressure, but
:27:12. > :27:16.it brightens up by the afternoon with highs of ten or 11 degrees. A
:27:17. > :27:22.similar story into Friday. Writing up by the afternoon. Over the
:27:23. > :27:25.weekend, most likely to see some rain on Saturday, but looking
:27:26. > :27:29.relatively dry for us. None of the sunshine we started the week with.
:27:30. > :27:36.Well at least it will warm up. Thank you. We will have an update at 8pm
:27:37. > :28:15.and at 10:25pm. Have a good evening. Goodbye.
:28:16. > :28:19.# I knew you were trouble when you walked in
