It started with the idea to put all children's care under one roof,

rather than split across two sites, the Radcliffe Infirmary and the JR.

It means that all of the children's things

can be brought together, so that we have children's radiology, play

therapists, an enormous amount of things that are dedicated

Families have been at the heart of its design since the beginning,

choosing paint colours, naming and labelling the wards,

with boys wanting a sport theme, girls wanting cuddly animals,

so it's ended up somewhere in between.

The overuse of antibiotics was mainly to blame for a serious

stomach bug outbreak in hospitals around ten years ago,

according to new research by Oxford University.

The outbreak of C-difficile in 2006 led to deep cleaning and other

infection control measures by the NHS.

Scientists found that cases of C-Diff only fell when use

of certain antibiotics were reduced and used in a targeted way.

This week, people in and around Milton Keynes are celebrating

When the area was first developed, art was a big focus,

with large numbers of public art being purchased or commissioned

Around in the many corners of Milton Keynes, you will find

accessible art that has always been at the heart of the town.

Depicted as a stage set here, the idea is for

you to go out and find the originals yourself.

I think art is always about thinking about what might come next.

Milton Keynes is also a town that was following a similar thought

process, how can you construct a space that will also work 50 years

I think it makes sense that integrated

art is in the fabric of its open architecture.

These concrete cows from 1978 have to be the most famous

or infamous piece of public art here in Milton Keynes.

But over the years, there has been far

more going on in the art scene here than these brutalist beasts.

In 1988, roads were closed when Michael Jackson performed here.

From pop royalty to jazz royalty, Sir John Dankworth abd

Dame Cleo Laine founded The Stables at Wavendon,

But they had no idea that Milton Keynes

was about to be developed when they bought the rural property.

At first, they were a bit sort of, Oh no, we don't want to...

But then my dad really grew to love Milton Keynes.

Stadium MK is also developing as a concert venue.

So, the concrete cows may be living out their

retirement at the town's museum, but the success and vitality

of the art scene here is no laughing matter.

Meanwhile, Milton Keynes' 50th birthday received a cheer

in parliament today, after a local MP asked

the Prime Minister what the future holds for the town.

Theresa May praised strong local leadership in the area.

Plans for the new town were approved five decades ago.

We have been the most successful of the new

cities, and have one of the

that it will be central in delivering this

I join my honourable friend in marking Milton

Keynes' 50th birthday, and also I understand he has secured a

Westminster Hall debate today on the subject.

I would like to congratulate him on having done that.

I think that Milton Keynes is a great example of what you can

achieve with a clear plan and with strong local leadership.

Alexis Green has the weather next.

Very like last night, there will be a widespread frost,

The wind be slightly mild initially, we'll have a lot of cloud.

Through the course of the day, the cloud will start to thin

and break, particularly for southern parts.

But we will hold onto the cloud cover into the afternoon and

temperatures in some places will reach just freezing.

Given the strength of the wind, the air is

coming in from Europe, and that air is bitterly cold.

An icy feel to things tomorrow with temperatures

reaching a high of around two Celsius, but feeling more

It will thin to allow for another widespread frost first thing

Friday, patchy rain is a possibility at times, not amounting to much.

There will be dry interludes as well, and a band of

more persistent rain might spread into Friday night and stay with us

through the early hours of Saturday morning.

As we look ahead to the rest of the week, tomorrow some

sunny spells for some, but generally a lot of cloud.

Feeling more like freezing, down to -2 Celsius

given the wind-chill, and on Friday we will have the potential

for a wintry shower, and on Saturday

take a look at the Outlook towards the weekend.

Good evening. If you think it was cold today, for many it will be

colder still tomorrow. Cold even when we have the sunshine today.

This was one of the wonderful weather watcher pictures we had sent

in from Cornwall. It contrasts with a cloudy and foggy eastern half of

the country, and a bank of cloud. Still foggy, but it is starting to

lift. It is being pushed north and west, this bank of cloud. That will

continue through the night. We will still have some fog sitting on the

hills. Even with the cloud, it will be a cold night, with temperatures

away from the far north and west falling to
