All non-urgent operations have been cancelled

:00:00.:00:00.

at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital today and will be on Monday.

:00:07.:00:10.

It's as the NHS in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire comes

:00:11.:00:13.

under what's described as "major pressure".

:00:14.:00:16.

In a statement the hospital trust said everybody

:00:17.:00:18.

Peter Cooke sent this report from the hospital.

:00:19.:00:24.

The hospital trusts in Oxford, Buckinghamshire and Reading

:00:25.:00:27.

are amongst 25 who have said they have been under

:00:28.:00:30.

More problems today, the John Radcliffe issued

:00:31.:00:33.

a statement from their chief nurse, Catherine Stoddard.

:00:34.:00:37.

In it she said they'd taken this decision to improve the flow

:00:38.:00:40.

of patients through the hospital and to ensure they can continue

:00:41.:00:48.

to see patients in the emergency department in a timely way.

:00:49.:00:51.

She added that all of those affected have been notified and that

:00:52.:00:53.

all urgent admissions and day cases will go ahead as planned.

:00:54.:00:56.

Staff at the hospital have asked people to consider all options

:00:57.:00:59.

Now, we have been asking the public if they have

:01:00.:01:04.

There's a disparity between what the public expect

:01:05.:01:09.

from the National Health Service and what can be delivered.

:01:10.:01:11.

I can't fault the staff at all because the people that

:01:12.:01:14.

I think quite a lot of people could either be seen

:01:15.:01:19.

by their doctors or be seen by the pharmacist.

:01:20.:01:23.

The picture here is very much reflected of course in many

:01:24.:01:28.

More than four in ten hospitals in England declared a major alert

:01:29.:01:32.

in the first week of the New Year, not being able to see

:01:33.:01:35.

To cope, they brought in extra staff and also cancel routine treatments,

:01:36.:01:40.

But given the current pressures on the system

:01:41.:01:45.

during this winter period, many trusts are warning

:01:46.:01:47.

we are likely to see further cancellations.

:01:48.:01:50.

A man's been arrested in connection with a rape investigation in Oxford.

:01:51.:01:57.

Police have today been continuing their searches

:01:58.:01:59.

of the area surrounding Raleigh Park and woodland close to the A34.

:02:00.:02:03.

The man has been detained in Eastbourne in Sussex.

:02:04.:02:06.

Officers are appealing for witnesses to the incident,

:02:07.:02:09.

adding that evidence may have been thrown from a moving car.

:02:10.:02:16.

A shopkeeper near the Cowley road has pleaded guilty to sixteen

:02:17.:02:18.

offences relating to selling unsafe 'legal highs'.

:02:19.:02:21.

Darren Manley admitted selling the products,

:02:22.:02:24.

including King B and Charlie Sheen, as research chemicals

:02:25.:02:27.

from his Red Eye store which has since closed down.

:02:28.:02:30.

Trading standards launched an investigation into the substances

:02:31.:02:33.

and found them to be illegal and dangerous.

:02:34.:02:36.

Inspectors at the troubled Woodhill prison in Milton keynes have raised

:02:37.:02:41.

concerns over staffing levels in a damning new report,

:02:42.:02:45.

The Care Quality Commission findings, published today,

:02:46.:02:50.

criticises the level of mental health care.

:02:51.:02:53.

Nine inmates have committed suicide at the prison since 2012.

:02:54.:03:00.

Death in custody and deaths in prison if they complicated,

:03:01.:03:06.

Death in custody and deaths in prison is a complicated,

:03:07.:03:08.

If it was an easy question we would be able to solve

:03:09.:03:14.

the problem quite quickly but what we see is an ageing

:03:15.:03:16.

population, we see an increasing number of novel psychoactive

:03:17.:03:18.

substances within our prisons, including spice, which we see

:03:19.:03:21.

in the street and also the complexity of the environment.

:03:22.:03:23.

What one must bear in mind is that Woodhill is a category A prison,

:03:24.:03:26.

therefore the complexities of the prison, the complexities

:03:27.:03:29.

of the environment, are slightly unique in themselves.

:03:30.:03:31.

I think we can always do more and if we have more staff we can

:03:32.:03:35.

At the moment, the staffing compliment is slightly higher

:03:36.:03:41.

than that which was identified by the CQC because we have obviously

:03:42.:03:44.

moved on some several weeks and it's interesting that the report

:03:45.:03:47.

concluded that the staff were compassionate and

:03:48.:03:48.

Campaigners squatting in a former car show room in Oxford say they've

:03:49.:03:53.

claimed a "small but important victory" for those needing shelter.

:03:54.:03:56.

They've been at a court hearing in the city today where the case

:03:57.:03:59.

Protestors say it gives people with nowhere warm to sleep another

:04:00.:04:04.

Adina Campbell has been following developments.

:04:05.:04:10.

Cuddle time for Lewis and his dog, Ty.

:04:11.:04:14.

For the next seven days at least, he'll be able to stay on living

:04:15.:04:17.

here in this former car dealership in Oxford.

:04:18.:04:23.

You've made it into your own, haven't you?

:04:24.:04:27.

I have, it's a bit of an upgrade from the tent.

:04:28.:04:29.

And this feels much more like a bedroom to you now?

:04:30.:04:36.

It felt like an office on the first night, so I thought I'd do

:04:37.:04:39.

a little bit to make it feel like my own space.

:04:40.:04:43.

Earlier, campaigners say they were relieved after a judge

:04:44.:04:46.

at the County Court in Oxford adjourned a hearing which could have

:04:47.:04:50.

seen the 16 homeless people living in this building evicted.

:04:51.:04:54.

They decided to move in on New Year's Eve after finding

:04:55.:04:58.

Since then, thousands of people have signed a petition to keep them here,

:04:59.:05:05.

Lots of warm clothes, we've got bedding, beds, futons.

:05:06.:05:11.

A couple of sofas, we've got hobs, fridges, lots of cooking equipment.

:05:12.:05:20.

The building is owned by Wadham college.

:05:21.:05:26.

It says it is profoundly sympathetic to the plight of homeless people,

:05:27.:05:30.

but plans to use the site for student accommodation.

:05:31.:05:33.

The college, however, let the ground-floor

:05:34.:05:36.

to Midcounties Co-operative, who've told us in a statement...

:05:37.:05:48.

With temperatures set to drop to -3 overnight,

:05:49.:05:51.

this is welcome news for the people who've been using this

:05:52.:05:54.

But this may not be a permanent decision, and even though

:05:55.:06:00.

they will be able to stay here for the next few days,

:06:01.:06:03.

that could change of course depending on the outcome

:06:04.:06:05.

Police say a car's been clocked doing 131 miles an hour

:06:06.:06:13.

The car was spotted in the early hours of the morning

:06:14.:06:17.

A 31-year-old man's due to appear in court.

:06:18.:06:23.

We may have missed the brunt of the weather, but this aerial

:06:24.:06:30.

shot across stokenchurch and the chilterns shows a fair

:06:31.:06:37.

The shot was captured by the police helicopter.

:06:38.:06:40.

The weekend weather is next, starting with the regional

:06:41.:06:42.

forecast with Alexis, but that's it from us.

:06:43.:06:44.

It will be a cold and a frosty night tonight and there is a big issue

:06:45.:06:51.

of ice following the snowfall we had recently and the chance of wintry

:06:52.:06:54.

During the early hours of the morning a little more cloud

:06:55.:06:58.

will feed in from the north and temperatures in the towns

:06:59.:07:00.

and cities will drop to around -2 Celsius,

:07:01.:07:02.

but perhaps down to -4 Celsius in the countryside.

:07:03.:07:05.

So, the risk of ice first thing tomorrow morning.

:07:06.:07:07.

Wintry showers are still a possibility.

:07:08.:07:08.

Not amounting to too much if they fall as snow.

:07:09.:07:11.

But tomorrow's a mainly dry day with some sunny spells.

:07:12.:07:13.

Still, the risk of a shower through the afternoon with a high

:07:14.:07:16.

Looking ahead to the rest of the weekend, rain and milder

:07:17.:07:20.

conditions on Sunday, quite a damp and a dismal day.

:07:21.:07:24.

The possibility of more cloud on Monday.

:07:25.:07:27.

5-6 is the best we will have. It stays cold into the beginning of

:07:28.:07:31.

next week as well stop Good evening, a cold, icy

:07:32.:07:42.

night, but some others have other concerns. This was the scene earlier

:07:43.:07:48.

today, huge waves crashing on to the shoreline at Whitley Bay. We still

:07:49.:07:52.

have the peak of the high tide to come in other parts. This is the

:07:53.:07:57.

flood line number. It's if you have any concerns. The worst of the wind

:07:58.:08:04.

slowly comes -- subsiding. Wintry showers across the North of Scotland

:08:05.:08:08.

and some filtering well inland across the Midlands, giving a light

:08:09.:08:13.

dusting in some places. An icy night, temperatures widely close to

:08:14.:08:17.

or below freezing, particularly where you have snow cover. Tomorrow

:08:18.:08:19.
