The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, has signed a ?1 billion deal

that could bring 50,000 jobs to Oxfordshire. Around 20,000 would be

in science and technology, and 30,000 in construction, with the

building of new homes. The City Deal will be mainly funded by public

money, but it also needs private investment. A deal which it is

claimed could create up to 50,000 jobs in Oxfordshire. The Government,

local councils and Oxford University are pledging to help the county's

hi`tech industry grow by putting forward almost ?100 million between

them. Businesses with potential will be given advice and at the same time

road and rail networks improved. But why Oxfordshire? Here at STFC

Rutherford Appleton laboratory they study atoms. It is organisations

like this the Government want to see grow. At four sites across

Oxfordshire ` Harwell, cull um, Begbroke and one in central Oxford.

The Government hopes it will create 19,000 new jobs. . I think it will

unleash economic potential in the local area. You will see traffic

improvements which have `` people coming into the area have homes to

live in, more apprenticeships and thousands of new jobs. If you are

going to create that many new jobs you have to get workers from A to B.

So some of the money will be spent limbing the new industries with new

bus roots. A new link road is designed to free up traffic. The

improve to the railway lines and a new station at Oxford Park way is

designed to increase capacity on the tracks. And 7,000 new homes will be

given the go`ahead so new workers have somewhere to live. The news has

been welcomed by the county's leaders. It is the culmination of

months of hard work, Oxfordshire council working with the council,

the University and local businesses to get this City Deal. Today we've

signed it. It is recognition from the Government that Oxfordshire has

great growth potential. These ideas have be in the planning for some

time. Today marks the moment when they can start to become a reality.

Police in Swindon are appealing for help in finding five people wanted

after a series of drugs raids. More than 400 officers were involved in

the raids on homes and businesses yesterday. 52 people have been

arrested, but police say they are still trying to trace Thane Pilgrim,

Leo Ryan, Callum Johnson, Shane Harper and Darren Walcott.

A medical tribunal has ruled that the treatment given by a doctor from

Oxfordshire to some of his female patients had probably been sexually

motivated. Three years ago Dr Yenugula Srinivas was found not

guilty of sexual assault by a criminal court, but the General

Medical Council has made its own ruling after conducting a

disciplinary hearing. Yenugula Srinivas seen here with his

wife began working as a doctor in the UK in 2003. But he was arrested

and charged seven years later, accused of sexually assaulting a

number of his female patients, between 2008 and 2009. It was

alleged he gave un intimate examinations to some women at

surgeries in ice lip and St Complements in Oxford. But in 2011

he was found not guilty of all charges. Despite this, the General

Medical Council, which had suspended him in 2010, continued to

investigate. At the end of last year, the medical practitioners

tribunal service, which runs fitness to practice hearings for the GMC,

began assessing the case. The evidence focused on claims by 12

women. Many of whom gave evidence. His behaviour was described as

dishonest and misleading, and he was accused of delivering poor care.

Something he always denied during his trial. The panel's concluded

that some of the allegations made probably are true and now it is to

decide if he can continue practising as a doctor. It has a range of

sanctions available to it, anything from continuing his suspension to

placing conditions on his medical licence. Or striking him off the

medical register altogether. He will know the outcome in March.

A new halfway house has been opened for people suffering from eating

disorders in Oxfordshire. New figures show hospital admissions for

eating disorders have increased by 10% in our region in the last year.

Just going into a room to eat can be hard to cope with the you have an

eating disorder. Here at Cotswold House days are planned and menu

devised to help people recover from anorexia and bulimia. Even after

months of treatment, normal life can be too much. The It is incredibly

overwhelming being in here, where you are safe, secure, supported, to

try and go straight back home, even with parental support. Partner

support. It is incredibly difficult. New figures out today from the

health and social care information centre show that admissions for

eating disorders have increased by 10% in the south. Here they've just

opened a stepdown house, a brand`new facility that will support patients

back into life in the community. What we are hoping is this will

reduce the amount of readmissions, because it makes the transition to

the community safer. They hope it will clear the way for patients to

ease back into normal life, and eventually live without ongoing

support. Good evening. A quieter night than

recent nights, maybe with a touch of grass frost. We do have a few

showers drifting about, with temperatures hovering around the

freezing mark, the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Maybe first

thing tomorrow there could be mist and fog patches, which will reduce

visibility on the roads. They should lift. From lunchtime we'll see a

band of rain edge in from the west. In the could be heavy in places,

adding to the flooding problems we have in some areas, and a brisk

southerly wind, with temperatures climbing to a chilly 5`6 Celsius.

A cold`feeling day with the cloud and rain. A better day on Saturday,

although still blustery winds. You may have blustery showers with that

wind. Driving up from the south. A better day on Sunday, is less in the

way of showers, more sunshine, but further showers on Monday.

very good night. Good evening. As we have seen, it

has been an exceptionally wet month and it is not even over yet. The

final day of January promises even more heavy rain and that is not the

only hazard. There could be some snow and strong winds over the next

48 hours. We have seen too many of these weather systems steaming in

from the Atlantic. It is not with this yet, however. Some snow over

the hills in northern England and eastern Scotland. Some mist and fog

patches in the south. Many of us will start Friday Drive, however the

rain is on its way and it will gradually spread its
