Today's main headlines in the South East.. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A sharp rise in the number of anti-depressants being prescribed | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
in the South East, especially in more deprived areas. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
More misery for Southern Rail commuters - RMT talks | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
We are alive with all the latest. It words a mild day with highs of | :00:15. | :00:29. | |
14. It is a foggy start to tomorrow. There's been a sharp rise | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
in the number of anti-depressants being prescribed in the South East - | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
especially in areas of higher Over the last two years, | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
prescriptions are up by 16% in Hastings and Rother, | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
15% in Thanet and 14% In total, across Kent, | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Surrey and Sussex, almost four million anti-depressant | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
prescriptions were Tonight one Sussex MP says other | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
vitally needed mental-health services are STILL not available, | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
despite government efforts Yvette Austin has our | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
exclusive report. Jackie Bennett from Peacehaven fell | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
into a downward spiral of depression following a triple-bypass heart | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
operation three years ago. She is recovering now | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
after talking therapy but only after a bad experience | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
with antidepressant drugs. The first ones were the ones that | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
made me even more depressed They knocked me into the middle | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
of next week and then I became sick with them, | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
so they tried me on another and another and another and I got | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
sick on all of them. I think the doctors were doing | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
what they thought was best The figures suggest more and more | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
people are being prescribed such drugs, as increasing numbers | :01:51. | :02:01. | |
are diagnosed with depression. Charities are concerned not enough | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
focus is being put on improving access to alternatives such | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
as talking therapies. Often we hear from professionals | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
that because of the problems with their mental-health services | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
in their area, long waiting times for talking therapy, | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
or no alternatives, they feel the only option is to give someone | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
a prescription of antidepressants because it is better | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
than giving them nothing. This doctor is a GP | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
specialising in mental health. She says some patients, | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
particularly those with moderate to severe symptoms, need to take | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
antidepressants at first to improve the chances of a successful recovery | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
using other methods. They have lost motivation | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
and they don't feel like going out, they don't feel like meeting people, | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
they don't feel like talking The antidepressants give them | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
the extra nudge to access the type of activities and treatment that | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
will go to prevent them getting The Government has pledged | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
?1.3 billion for mental-health services but tonight a former | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
Minister for Families and Children called for more money to go | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
to where it is really needed. It is absolutely crucial that more | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
money goes into mental health, that is ring-fenced, it goes | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
in early, particularly to children, children will have some | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
form of mental illness, and the earlier we can get to that, | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
the more likely we are to stop that becoming a problem | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
into adulthood as well. It is in the more deprived coastal | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
towns of the South East where the use of antidepressants | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
is increasing at a higher rate. The Department of Health | :03:39. | :03:49. | |
says its targets for improvement are being exceeded but more needs | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
to be done. The Department of Health | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
says targets have been exceeded but it is striving | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
to improve further. Commuters on Southern | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
Rail face another day It follows the acrimonious breakdown | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
of talks yesterday between the RMT RMT union members will walk out | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
for 24 hours next Wednesday, claiming that driver-only operation | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
of trains is unsafe. We're still fighting to get every | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
role, a safety critical role, ensure there is a guard | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
on every train. Disabled passengers have told us | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
several times, we have been inundated with phone calls, | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
that it is already nearly impossible for them to plan a journey | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
because there are not people, enough people on the stations | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
and not enough people on The fight goes on as far | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
as we are concerned. Let's cross live to our | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
reporter Briohny Williams at Three Bridges Station in west | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Sussex. Briohny, what's the reaction tonight | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
to this latest strike? I asked to speak to somebody from | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
Southern rail but nobody was available for comment. In a | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
statement they said they are deeply disappointed that the RMT have | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
called this action but they will try to provide as full service as | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
possible on the 22nd of February. This is the 29th day of industrial | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
action the RMT have called for and the commuters I have been speaking | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
to at this station are clearly frustrating. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
It has been going on for far too long so somebody needs to do | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
something about it. Chris Grayling needs to step in and do something | :05:20. | :05:20. | |
This announcement comes just a day about it. | :05:21. | :05:33. | |
This announcement comes just a day before all eyes will be on the other | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
union involved in the dispute with Southern rail, Aslef, which | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
represents train drivers. They struck a deal two weeks ago and its | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
members have been voting, that ballot closes tomorrow as to whether | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
they agree with the deal or not. If they don't agree tomorrow, the | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
uncertainty the passengers about how long this dispute will go on for is | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
still there. -- for passengers. And you can follow updates | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
on the Aslef ballot result - and what it means for you - | :06:02. | :06:04. | |

footballer Rohan Ince has been cleared by a jury of attacking | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
a nightclub bouncer with a bottle. The 24-year-old midfielder had | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
denied wounding with intent, after an incident that left | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
the bouncer with a serious head injury in Windsor | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
on Christmas Day 2015. They've become known | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
as the "Grindr murders" - four young men lured to meetings | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
through the gay dating app, then killed with drug overdoses, | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
their bodies dumped within yards of the flat of serial | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
killer Stephen Port. His conviction in November | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
raised serious questions Now families of the victims - | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
including 21-year-old Daniel Whitworth from Gravesend - | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
have contributed to a new BBC documentary, renewing | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
their campaign for answers. Sara Smith has tonight's | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
special report. Stephen Port was guilty | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
of murder, rape and assault. The families of his victims say | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
the police are guilty of not In this BBC Three documentary, | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
their struggle for justice I just think that we were hurried | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
along to get a line drawn under this and it has left another | :07:08. | :07:19. | |
family, another family besides ours, in this | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
awful, awful position. Daniel, from Gravesend, | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
was found dead in the same spot, an east London graveyard, | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
as another man who died three A third had been found | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
a year before that nearby. All had met Port | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
through gay dating sites. At inquest it was discovered that | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
Daniel's suicide note, actually written by Port, | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
had never been checked By the end of the summer of 2014, | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
three young men had been found dead. Despite the similarities, | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
none of their deaths After the inquest | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
for Daniel Whitworth, his family asked detectives | :08:00. | :08:12. | |
to reopen their investigation. They were told that | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
would not be happening. Three months after that, | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
Port took his fourth Once again police blamed | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
a self-inflicted overdose. The families have got a lot | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
of unanswered questions. They've had to content and deal | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
with the fact that a loved one was taken away from them | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
in circumstances such as this. They've then had a number | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
of interactions and All that has happened to date | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
is more questions have How can I put into words | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
how let down I feel? that is there to | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
protect the community. The police response is now under | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
investigation but that is too late for the families | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
of Port's victims. So are the families | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
planning any action At the moment they are waiting to | :08:57. | :09:10. | |
see what the IPCC comes up with. They have so many questions and they | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
are hoping that report answers some are hoping that report answers some | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
of them. They are most upset about the fact that right from the start | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
friends and family of the victims were going to, saying this doesn't | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
feel right, maybe you should take action. Time and again they were | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
fobbed off by a force determined that there was nothing suspicious | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
about these deaths. You can see the full | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
BBC Three documentary - called How Police Missed | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
the Grindr Killer - That's it from me, your national | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
weather forecast in a moment, but first let's get the picture | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
in the South East Good evening. Temperatures continue | :09:44. | :09:55. | |
to creep up in the South East. Today we saw the Bridges of 14 degrees in | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Gravesend. It was not a wash-out, there was some brightness despite | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
the cloud. Temperatures will continue to be above the seasonal | :10:05. | :10:14. | |
average through the week. 16 degrees possible. Tonight it stays mild, | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
temperatures only dropping to six or 7 degrees. We have an eye pressure | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
-- an area of high pressure building. We will have mist vote | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
tomorrow morning and quite a bit of cloud. Gentle south-westerly breeze | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
is tomorrow. Temperatures should again be in double figures, perhaps | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
as high as 11 or 12. Overnight Thursday into Friday, more of the | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
same, mist and fog, overnight temperatures only dropping 26 or 7 | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
degrees mild and 40 to start the day on Friday, brightening up by the | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
afternoon, highs the weekend. Wouldn't promise you | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
two dry days but you never know, here is Nick with the national | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
picture. Hello. We put that cold weekend well | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
behind us now. Temperatures edging upwards and our weather watchers are | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
seeing plenty of signs of spring. Spending more time looking down than | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
looking up at the skies, we see these early blooms. They are set to | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
continue as we are set to stay mild for several more days to come. | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
Average | :11:25. | :11:25. |
