:00:34. > :00:37.a statement from their chief nurse, Catherine Stoddard.
:00:38. > :00:40.In it she said they'd taken this decision to improve the flow
:00:41. > :00:48.of patients through the hospital and to ensure they can continue
:00:49. > :00:51.to see patients in the emergency department in a timely way.
:00:52. > :00:53.She added that all of those affected have been notified and that

:00:57. > :00:59.Staff at the hospital have asked people to consider all options
:01:00. > :01:04.Now, we have been asking the public if they have
:01:05. > :01:09.There's a disparity between what the public expect
:01:10. > :01:11.from the National Health Service and what can be delivered.
:01:12. > :01:14.I can't fault the staff at all because the people that
:01:15. > :01:19.I think quite a lot of people could either be seen
:01:20. > :01:23.by their doctors or be seen by the pharmacist.

:01:36. > :01:40.To cope, they brought in extra staff and also cancel routine treatments,
:01:41. > :01:45.But given the current pressures on the system
:01:46. > :01:47.during this winter period, many trusts are warning
:01:48. > :01:50.we are likely to see further cancellations.

:03:09. > :03:14.If it was an easy question we would be able to solve
:03:15. > :03:16.the problem quite quickly but what we see is an ageing
:03:17. > :03:18.population, we see an increasing number of novel psychoactive
:03:19. > :03:21.substances within our prisons, including spice, which we see

:03:24. > :03:26.What one must bear in mind is that Woodhill is a category A prison,

:03:32. > :03:35.I think we can always do more and if we have more staff we can
:03:36. > :03:41.At the moment, the staffing compliment is slightly higher
:03:42. > :03:44.than that which was identified by the CQC because we have obviously

:04:28. > :04:29.I have, it's a bit of an upgrade from the tent.
:04:30. > :04:36.And this feels much more like a bedroom to you now?

:05:37. > :05:48.to Midcounties Co-operative, who've told us in a statement...
:05:49. > :05:51.With temperatures set to drop to -3 overnight,
:05:52. > :05:54.this is welcome news for the people who've been using this
:05:55. > :06:00.But this may not be a permanent decision, and even though
:06:01. > :06:03.they will be able to stay here for the next few days,

:06:41. > :06:42.The weekend weather is next, starting with the regional
:06:43. > :06:44.forecast with Alexis, but that's it from us.
:06:45. > :06:51.It will be a cold and a frosty night tonight and there is a big issue
:06:52. > :06:54.of ice following the snowfall we had recently and the chance of wintry
:06:55. > :06:58.During the early hours of the morning a little more cloud
:06:59. > :07:00.will feed in from the north and temperatures in the towns
:07:01. > :07:02.and cities will drop to around -2 Celsius,
:07:03. > :07:05.but perhaps down to -4 Celsius in the countryside.
:07:06. > :07:07.So, the risk of ice first thing tomorrow morning.
:07:08. > :07:08.Wintry showers are still a possibility.
:07:09. > :07:11.Not amounting to too much if they fall as snow.
:07:12. > :07:13.But tomorrow's a mainly dry day with some sunny spells.
:07:14. > :07:16.Still, the risk of a shower through the afternoon with a high
:07:17. > :07:20.Looking ahead to the rest of the weekend, rain and milder

:07:32. > :07:42.next week as well stop Good evening, a cold, icy
:07:43. > :07:48.night, but some others have other concerns. This was the scene earlier
:07:49. > :07:52.today, huge waves crashing on to the shoreline at Whitley Bay. We still
:07:53. > :07:57.have the peak of the high tide to come in other parts. This is the
:07:58. > :08:04.flood line number. It's if you have any concerns. The worst of the wind
:08:05. > :08:08.slowly comes -- subsiding. Wintry showers across the North of Scotland
:08:09. > :08:13.and some filtering well inland across the Midlands, giving a light
:08:14. > :08:17.dusting in some places. An icy night, temperatures widely close to
:08:18. > :08:19.or below freezing, particularly where you have snow cover. Tomorrow
