Good evening. Immigration officers have arrested 17 illegal workers in

South Oxfordshire following a series of coordinated operations bx the

Home Office. Officers targeted six restaurants in Didcot and m`ny of

those detained will now be removed from the UK. Peter Cooke reports.

The scene in Didcot last night as immigration officers raided several

businesses in and around thd Broadway. Restaurants targeted

included Kolkata, Angel Falls and Broadway Spice. It's believdd all

are connected in ownership. 17 men, aged between 25 and 50, werd

arrested. All suspected of overstaying their visas or dntering

the country illegally. This whole operation was intelligence led.

Suffice to say, we do think they were linked. One officer told us

that when they entered a takeaway, someone was straight on the phone to

a neighbouring takeaway, only to find we were already there `s well.

So there were links and the intelligence was good. All of those

arrested will now be detaindd, pending removal from the UK, except

three men who have been bailed. Each business faces a fine of up to

?10,000 per worker, leading to a final fan `` fine of up to ?200 000

unless they can prove they carried out the correct checks. Thex have

been many rates over the last few years `` three years which have led

to ?461,000 in fines. Local residents had things to say. They

come here looking for a better life and they are left penniless. What do

they do? English people don't want some of the jobs and that is why

they have illegal immigrants in The Home Office says they warn people

they will face severe penalties if they are not following the rules.

??NE An Oxfordshire doctor has been suspended with immediate effect

following a disciplinary he`ring. It follows a ruling by a medical

tribunal that found the tre`tment Dr Srinivas Yenugula gave to some of

his female patients was probably sexually motivated. Three ydars ago,

the doctor, from Sandford on Thames, was cleared by a criminal court

Pupils at Didcot Girls school have been raising money for a ch`rity set

up in the name of the murdered teenager Jayden Parkinson today

Classmates were asked to pax ?1 to wear the colour purple, Jayden's

favourite colour. Her former boyfriend, Ben Blakeley, is charged

with her murder. A 17`year`old boy is also charged with perverting the

course of justice. Today, a 48`year`old woman, arrested in

February, has been released without charge.

An apology's been issued to some residents living in Oxford `fter

they were woken by up to 90 decibels of noise from railway works. People

in Wolvercote say they weren't notified about the disturbance

caused by a new freight lind being built to Banbury. Across

Oxfordshire, more than 24 bridges will be modified this summer as part

of a project to electrify the London to Bristol route. The work's already

got underway in Swindon, whdre motorists have been left unhappy.

Here's Tom Turrell. Network rail say they're working

around the clock to improve the track so it can carry more freight.

The problem is, it's the working around the clock that's upsdt people

nearby. ANGLE GRINDER WHIRRS.

This is the kind of noise they say has woken them up to in the middle

of the night. Rob's one of those who says it's so loud, it's keeping him

and his family awake. On Sunday morning at 4am, many local residents

were woken up by a fairly ott of the world noise, a bit like an

industrial angle grinder from hell. What Rob heard came from thdse

tracks just a stones throw from his bedroom window. Network Rail will be

either rebuilding or modifyhng 6 bridges across Oxfordshire `s they

work to get the line electrhfied by 2015. Whilst the local councillor

has sympathy, she insists all the work has got to be completed. It

will help to get the freight off of the local A road, which has to be

good news, and faster passenger trains which will encourage people

to get the train instead of driving, which considering local congestion

is a good. But it is painful for people living nearby in the

meantime. So it seems for now at least, Rob and others in Wolvercote

may have a few more sleepless nights ahead.

When 11`year`old Steven Courtney from Bicester was diagnosed with

diabetes, he lacked confidence and was unhappy, but support was to come

from an unlikely source. Here he is with Mollsy ` the family's cocker

spaniel. Molly has been trahned to detect when Steven's blood sugar

levels rise. It could win hdr a national award. Jeremy Stern

reports. Stephen and Charlie can't w`it for

school to finish because thdy get to see Molly. She's more than just the

family's pet ` they say the cocker spaniel's a life saver. Stephen has

type one diabetes. Molly's trained to help him. She works night and day

even when on the football phtch When I am playing, she sits on the

side and is always watching. If my blood sugar levels start to go

funny, she will claw at my bag, which will tell my mum that I need

to test. Stephen and Molly had a special bond from the off. Lolly

used to get agitated when Stephen fell ill. The Medical Detection Dogs

charity says all animals have sense for these things, but Molly is

particularly instinctive. Experts gave her proper training and it s

helped the family no end. I used to be so worried and if he had a

particularly bad day, we were frightened to go to sleep at night

because we knew things were a bit off, whereas now I know she will

wake him or probably us if `nything goes wrong. Molly's been nolinated

for the Friends For Life aw`rd at Crufts this weekend. All five

finalists are special dogs but Stephen's brother Charlie rdckons

Molly has the edge. She is the best dog and she is very cute, aren't

you? That is a clever dog. The wdather's

next, starting with the reghonal forecast from Sarah Farmer. That's

it from us, though. Have a good weekend. Goodnight.

Good evening. The cloud is thickening food tonight and we have

some murky conditions to cole by the early hours. Perhaps some drizzle,

fog and mist possible as well. Overnight temperatures at 44

degrees. A grey and start to the day, but don't be disheartened. That

great weather will move northwards leaving fine conditions into the

afternoon. Feeling pleasantly warm as well with highs of 14, pdrhaps a

degree or two warmer. Sundax looks to be a fine and pleasant d`y with

springtime sunshine on offer and if you

National forecast. London's outlook, plenty of sunshine.

Hello. You have got to love the British weather. For a time this

afternoon, it felt like we had skipped ahead a couple of months as

temperatures reached 17 degrees across parts of southern England.

That is the average for the middle of May. Across
