:00:08. > :00:12.and long waiting times - now claims Yorkshire's hospitals
:00:13. > :00:14.are so overcrowded And quiet weather conditions
:00:15. > :00:20.over the coming week. Join me for that live,
:00:21. > :00:30.updated forecast. Police are investigating the death
:00:31. > :00:33.of a teenage girl near Rotherham. Officers say it
:00:34. > :00:35.is being treated as suspicious because of the nature
:00:36. > :00:38.of the injuries on her body. The girl was discovered by members
:00:39. > :00:42.of the public on a pathway off Lordens Hill in the Dinnington area
:00:43. > :00:47.at just before 11am this morning. Police are deploying extra patrols
:00:48. > :00:50.in the area to reassure the public. A police forensics tent
:00:51. > :00:58.on a secluded pathway, close to homes and shops
:00:59. > :01:00.on Lorden's Hill, where the body
:01:01. > :01:02.of a teenage girl, thought to be 15 or 16,
:01:03. > :01:04.was discovered. Because of the injuries
:01:05. > :01:06.she'd suffered, her death is being
:01:07. > :01:10.treated as suspicious. We're at a very early stage
:01:11. > :01:12.of the investigation to find out exactly
:01:13. > :01:14.what happened to her. So we have dedicated resources
:01:15. > :01:19.deployed now to investigate this. There was a report
:01:20. > :01:24.of a missing episode, but only 20 minutes prior
:01:25. > :01:27.to the finding of the body. However, we have not been able
:01:28. > :01:32.to formally identify the body, and therefore I can't
:01:33. > :01:34.give any details as to who the person
:01:35. > :01:37.is at this stage. and urging anyone
:01:38. > :01:40.who knows anything about this event, and anyone who saw any suspicious
:01:41. > :01:43.behaviour in the area, to please come forward and report it
:01:44. > :01:48.to the police. Through the evening,
:01:49. > :01:50.those who knew the girl brought flowers and paid
:01:51. > :02:10.tribute on social media. People living nearby are really
:02:11. > :02:13.concerned by what's happened here. Many of them are too
:02:14. > :02:15.distressed to be interviewed. One couple told me
:02:16. > :02:17.they've got a teenage daughter, and she won't be walking to school
:02:18. > :02:21.in her own tomorrow. Police have said they'll
:02:22. > :02:24.increase patrols in the area As investigations continue to try
:02:25. > :02:29.and work out what happened here, detectives are asking anyone
:02:30. > :02:38.with information to contact them. that high bed occupancy rates
:02:39. > :02:42.at hospitals across Yorkshire could be putting
:02:43. > :02:44.patient safety at risk. Latest figures from NHS England show
:02:45. > :02:48.that some Trusts have been operating which has led to many
:02:49. > :02:52.operations being cancelled. Our health correspondent,
:02:53. > :02:57.Jamie Coulson, reports. Anna is deaf, registered blind
:02:58. > :03:01.and struggles with her mobility. The 41-year-old was born
:03:02. > :03:07.with a rare genetic disorder which means benign tumours grow
:03:08. > :03:09.throughout her body. Six weeks ago she was due
:03:10. > :03:11.to have a long-awaited operation at Leeds General Infirmary
:03:12. > :03:14.on her lower lip to help with her eating and speech
:03:15. > :03:17.but it was cancelled on the day While Anna's operation
:03:18. > :03:33.is important to her, she admits it's not life and death
:03:34. > :03:37.and, while frustrating, cancelling non-urgent operations
:03:38. > :03:40.is one of the ways hospitals The trust has apologised but says
:03:41. > :03:46.like elsewhere in the NHS they are dealing with
:03:47. > :03:50.unprecedented levels of demand. Hospitals try not to have bed
:03:51. > :03:54.occupancy rates above 85%, otherwise research suggests
:03:55. > :03:56.they can have frequent bed shortages, occasional
:03:57. > :04:01.bed crises and an increase During the first week
:04:02. > :04:07.of January, hospital trusts in Yorkshire had an annual bed
:04:08. > :04:12.occupancy rate of more than 94%. At the Teaching Hospital
:04:13. > :04:16.in Leeds, it was over 97%. We already know that there
:04:17. > :04:28.is a huge shortage We know that there is around 26,000
:04:29. > :04:32.vacancies for nurses throughout the UK, therefore we are absolutely
:04:33. > :04:34.clear that safe patient care cannot be delivered with
:04:35. > :04:51.those kind of occupancy levels. Hospitals say bed shortages mean
:04:52. > :04:53.they have to prioritise those patients whose needs
:04:54. > :04:57.are most urgent. But that means those like Anna
:04:58. > :05:01.must continue to wait. Our health correspondent,
:05:02. > :05:03.Jamie Coulson, joins me now. Why are bed occupancy
:05:04. > :05:15.levels so important? Hospitals need to keep capacity in
:05:16. > :05:20.the system so they can kill with emergencies that come in. Also, if
:05:21. > :05:24.hospitals are to fall, it can be difficult for them to control
:05:25. > :05:29.infection rates. The reasons for high occupancy rates are complex and
:05:30. > :05:32.varied. Essentially, if you have got too many patients coming in through
:05:33. > :05:37.the front door who need to be admitted but not enough leaving who
:05:38. > :05:41.are fit to go, but had me have robins with social care, then that
:05:42. > :05:48.causes problems with the flow of the whole hospital system. Marcus from
:05:49. > :05:51.the Nuffield Trust. We have seen that a third of trusts are declaring
:05:52. > :05:58.that these pressures average the point where they are affecting
:05:59. > :06:05.patient flow. Occupancy levels are very high, often too high to move
:06:06. > :06:09.patients through in a timely way. The statistics are not looking good.
:06:10. > :06:14.What is NHS England say about this? They say it is not uncommon for the
:06:15. > :06:20.hospital trust to be facing winter pressures at this time of year. It
:06:21. > :06:24.is not uncommon for them to have 100% overnight. That you'd be a
:06:25. > :06:28.short period of time. If patients do need care in a hospital, or a
:06:29. > :06:30.similar setting during the winter months, then they will get it. Thank
:06:31. > :06:31.you. Hundreds of people gathered
:06:32. > :06:33.to release balloons near the school that Katie Rough
:06:34. > :06:36.went to in York on what would have Katie died after being found
:06:37. > :06:39.with serious injuries A 15-year-old girl's been
:06:40. > :06:43.charged with her murder. Her family wanted every colour
:06:44. > :06:48.of the rainbow to represent
:06:49. > :06:52.the exuberance of their little Katie and balloons to mark what would have
:06:53. > :06:57.been her eighth birthday today. An invitation on Facebook
:06:58. > :06:59.for anyone to attend touched hundreds of people,
:07:00. > :07:02.who waited quietly in Westfield Park to write a balloon message
:07:03. > :07:06.for Katie with thoughts and prayers
:07:07. > :07:09.or sign a book, not for condolences
:07:10. > :07:30.but to celebrate her life. I was asked if I would consider
:07:31. > :07:33.supplying balloons. I immediately said yes. I was moved by it. I just
:07:34. > :07:34.wanted to help. I think it's nice how
:07:35. > :07:36.the community have come together. I think we need to...everybody show
:07:37. > :07:39.support in circumstances like this and just celebrate
:07:40. > :07:43.Katie's life, really. Especially being a young lass
:07:44. > :07:49.from our area, you don't expect stuff like that to happen
:07:50. > :07:52.in your own area. And I've got a son who's a year
:07:53. > :07:58.older and it just makes you think. Katie was found with knife wounds
:07:59. > :08:00.near a playing field Just two days later,
:08:01. > :08:08.her family had the terrible ordeal of seeing a 15-year-old girl
:08:09. > :08:13.charged with Katie's murder. At the spot where she died,
:08:14. > :08:15.hundreds of flowers have been laid in an expression of the empathy
:08:16. > :08:20.and concern of the wider York community, who supported
:08:21. > :08:23.the family again today. Katie's parents, Alison
:08:24. > :08:26.and Paul Rough, were comforted by the Archbishop of York,
:08:27. > :08:31.who accompanied them. it made a spectacle
:08:32. > :08:53.of extreme poignancy, expressing so much more
:08:54. > :09:00.than words ever could. Two women have been charged
:09:01. > :09:02.with preventing lawful work from being carried out
:09:03. > :09:06.during a protest Jenny Hockey and her friend,
:09:07. > :09:13.Freda Breyshaw, were arrested in November as they demonstrated
:09:14. > :09:18.against the council's decision to cut down a number of trees
:09:19. > :09:20.on Rustlings Street. They are due to appear
:09:21. > :09:35.before Sheffield magistrates It has been dubbed blue Monday, and
:09:36. > :09:43.the weather has not helped. At least there have been no tidal surges this
:09:44. > :09:46.week! Just look at the statements. It is spot the difference if you
:09:47. > :09:51.look at the pressure chart. Weather France dying a slow death, high
:09:52. > :09:56.pressure means settled conditions. The second half of the week, hardly
:09:57. > :10:00.any wind either. Largely frost free. After a dreary start and we will see
:10:01. > :10:04.some might rain drizzled a night, and mist and fog, the weather front
:10:05. > :10:07.should fizzle away, and then we have got more patchy rain coming into the
:10:08. > :10:15.north-west. Frost free, the lowest temperatures around for Celsius. The
:10:16. > :10:18.Tuesday, it is overcast, dull and damp. Might start dry in South
:10:19. > :10:23.Yorkshire, but this light rain and drizzle will sink southwards. A
:10:24. > :10:29.miserable afternoon over the top of the Pennines. Eastern parts of
:10:30. > :10:31.Yorkshire might stay dry, but little chance of any brightness, just a
:10:32. > :10:39.light and variable breeze, and top temperatures at around five or six,
:10:40. > :10:44.maybe seven Celsius. More of the same on Tuesday evening into Tuesday
:10:45. > :10:47.night. Bowl, damp and dreary. Some mist and fog over the hills. By
:10:48. > :10:53.first light Wednesday morning, it should be largely dry. Wednesday
:10:54. > :11:00.itself looks mostly dry. Might brighten up a bit. Cloudy weather,
:11:01. > :11:03.some breaks in the cloud. Cabbage is close to normal for the time of
:11:04. > :11:06.year. That it from us, I will leave you with a summary
:11:07. > :11:07.perhaps a little milder. If you like the mild weather, you'll have
