Could legal action save a doctor's surgery in

:00:00.:00:00.

One campaigner's taking her fight to the High Court.

:00:07.:00:11.

And we've been to a special birthday party, celebrating Oxford Children's

:00:12.:00:14.

People living in Witney are hoping a High Court judge

:00:15.:00:28.

The Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group wants to close

:00:29.:00:32.

One resident is now taking legal action, claiming there wasn't

:00:33.:00:38.

It comes as NHS England says it won't allow GPs to charge patients

:00:39.:00:43.

for some extra services, an idea that doctors

:00:44.:00:47.

Last September they heard that the Deer Park GP surgery

:00:48.:00:57.

I think it is totally disgusting what they are doing.

:00:58.:01:03.

I had a problem that I thought might be serious, and

:01:04.:01:07.

I got to see the doctor the same day.

:01:08.:01:09.

My wife was seriously ill for four years, and the doctor up there

:01:10.:01:12.

Now one patient has taken the fight to the High Court to seek an order

:01:13.:01:19.

We are waiting for a judge to look at

:01:20.:01:23.

it to say whether it will go ahead or not.

:01:24.:01:26.

If we succeed, we will set a precedent

:01:27.:01:28.

so that anyone else in the

:01:29.:01:31.

The CCG, who run the Deer Park practice, wouldn't talk to us today,

:01:32.:01:38.

If we close down, the knock-on effect

:01:39.:01:54.

for everyone to discuss and come to a solution,

:01:55.:01:57.

and I would urge all parties, but particularly Oxfordshire health

:01:58.:01:59.

bosses, to get around the table and discuss a happy solution.

:02:00.:02:30.

The pages from Deepak and an easy raising money to their legal fees.

:02:31.:02:38.

Adding to see whether their practice were close in March.

:02:39.:02:42.

There's a warning about contaminated Class A drugs circulating in west

:02:43.:02:45.

Oxfordshire,after at least three people are now known to have died.

:02:46.:02:48.

GP surgeries, hospitals and other agencies are on red alert

:02:49.:02:51.

following the deaths of two men within four days in the Witney

:02:52.:02:55.

A third death has also now been reported to police.

:02:56.:03:00.

They're all believed to be linked to a bad batch of crack

:03:01.:03:03.

A mother from south Oxfordshire who's serving a three-year jail

:03:04.:03:08.

sentence for the manslaughter of her daughter has had it

:03:09.:03:11.

Jasmine Gregory, who's 24 and from Wantage,

:03:12.:03:16.

was convicted over the death of her 14-month-old daughter,

:03:17.:03:19.

Her sentence has now been put up to four-and-a-half years.

:03:20.:03:27.

A fourth person's been charged with the murder of a Canadian man

:03:28.:03:30.

whose body was found in Milton Keynes.

:03:31.:03:33.

Police were called to Great Linford on Saturday morning

:03:34.:03:35.

where the body of 32-year-old Suren Siva-nan-than was found.

:03:36.:03:39.

A 23-year-old has now been charged, as well as two other men

:03:40.:03:42.

The case has also been referred to the Independent Police

:03:43.:03:47.

A political activist has been accused of hypocrisy

:03:48.:03:53.

after accepting a scholarship to Oxford University

:03:54.:03:56.

from the very organisation he was criticising.

:03:57.:03:59.

South African Joshua Nott was heavily involved

:04:00.:04:01.

It condemned a statue of the nineteenth-century

:04:02.:04:06.

British imperialist Cecil Rhodes as a symbol

:04:07.:04:09.

Joshua Nott has now accepted a ?40,000 grant

:04:10.:04:14.

He says he'll use it to fight against Rhodes' ideals.

:04:15.:04:21.

Next tonight, another one of our special reports marking

:04:22.:04:23.

Oxford Children's Hospital's tenth anniversary.

:04:24.:04:26.

Earlier, past and present patients were being treated

:04:27.:04:30.

First though, Serena Martin has been looking back at how

:04:31.:04:35.

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

:04:36.:04:40.

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

:04:41.:04:45.

It means that all of the children's things

:04:46.:04:47.

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

:04:48.:04:50.

therapists, an enormous amount of things that are dedicated

:04:51.:04:53.

You walk into this space and immediately you know that you

:04:54.:04:58.

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

:04:59.:05:04.

choosing paint colours, naming and labelling the wards,

:05:05.:05:06.

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

:05:07.:05:10.

so it's ended up somewhere in between.

:05:11.:05:13.

And to make the idea a reality, ?15 million

:05:14.:05:16.

In the past decade, the hospital has looked after half a million children

:05:17.:05:23.

from newborns to teenagers, served more than 4,000 meals

:05:24.:05:27.

And today some of the very first patients are back to celebrate

:05:28.:05:33.

The best thing about it is the staff and the nurses.

:05:34.:05:41.

We came here when Fred was a week old.

:05:42.:05:44.

We stayed here for seven weeks and they were amazing.

:05:45.:05:46.

They are caring, they were there for when we

:05:47.:05:52.

I was in another hospital, but then I got moved here,

:05:53.:06:08.

The overuse of antibiotics was mainly to blame for a serious

:06:09.:06:16.

stomach bug outbreak in hospitals around ten years ago,

:06:17.:06:19.

according to new research by Oxford University.

:06:20.:06:20.

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

:06:21.:06:24.

infection control measures by the NHS.

:06:25.:06:27.

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

:06:28.:06:30.

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

:06:31.:06:39.

This week, people in and around Milton Keynes are celebrating

:06:40.:06:41.

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

:06:42.:06:45.

with large numbers of public art being purchased or commissioned

:06:46.:06:48.

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

:06:49.:06:53.

They are often placed with a sense of humour, like

:06:54.:06:58.

this horse standing outside the bank with the same logo.

:06:59.:07:02.

This shopping centre installation celebrates

:07:03.:07:04.

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

:07:05.:07:08.

Depicted as a stage set here, the idea is for

:07:09.:07:11.

you to go out and find the originals yourself.

:07:12.:07:15.

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

:07:16.:07:17.

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

:07:18.:07:20.

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

:07:21.:07:24.

I think it makes sense that integrated

:07:25.:07:27.

art is in the fabric of its open architecture.

:07:28.:07:30.

These concrete cows from 1978 have to be the most famous

:07:31.:07:33.

or infamous piece of public art here in Milton Keynes.

:07:34.:07:38.

But over the years, there has been far

:07:39.:07:40.

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

:07:41.:07:44.

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

:07:45.:07:49.

MK Bowl bathing in the heyday of stadium tours.

:07:50.:07:55.

From pop royalty to jazz royalty, Sir John Dankworth abd

:07:56.:08:00.

Dame Cleo Laine founded The Stables at Wavendon,

:08:01.:08:03.

a melting point for all types of music.

:08:04.:08:06.

But they had no idea that Milton Keynes

:08:07.:08:08.

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

:08:09.:08:12.

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

:08:13.:08:15.

But then my dad really grew to love Milton Keynes.

:08:16.:08:20.

Stadium MK is also developing as a concert venue.

:08:21.:08:23.

Theatre is thriving, and MK Gallery is undergoing a

:08:24.:08:27.

So, the concrete cows may be living out their

:08:28.:08:31.

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

:08:32.:08:36.

of the art scene here is no laughing matter.

:08:37.:08:40.

Meanwhile, Milton Keynes' 50th birthday received a cheer

:08:41.:08:42.

in parliament today, after a local MP asked

:08:43.:08:45.

the Prime Minister what the future holds for the town.

:08:46.:08:48.

Theresa May praised strong local leadership in the area.

:08:49.:08:51.

Plans for the new town were approved five decades ago.

:08:52.:08:55.

We have been the most successful of the new

:08:56.:08:57.

cities, and have one of the

:08:58.:08:59.

Will the Prime Minister agree that Milton Keynes has a great future and

:09:00.:09:04.

that it will be central in delivering this

:09:05.:09:06.

I join my honourable friend in marking Milton

:09:07.:09:12.

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

:09:13.:09:15.

Westminster Hall debate today on the subject.

:09:16.:09:17.

I would like to congratulate him on having done that.

:09:18.:09:20.

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

:09:21.:09:23.

achieve with a clear plan and with strong local leadership.

:09:24.:09:27.

Alexis Green has the weather next.

:09:28.:09:31.

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

:09:32.:09:34.

One or two foggy patches but a good deal of cloud during the course of

:09:35.:09:39.

It will turn to freezing in the countryside.

:09:40.:09:43.

These are our temperatures in our towns and

:09:44.:09:45.

cities, but in the countryside we could see loads of -3 or

:09:46.:09:48.

A bitterly cold start to the day tomorrow.

:09:49.:09:51.

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

:09:52.:09:55.

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

:09:56.:09:58.

and break, particularly for southern parts.

:09:59.:10:00.

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

:10:01.:10:05.

temperatures in some places will reach just freezing.

:10:06.:10:08.

Given the strength of the wind, the air is

:10:09.:10:11.

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

:10:12.:10:17.

An icy feel to things tomorrow with temperatures

:10:18.:10:19.

reaching a high of around two Celsius, but feeling more

:10:20.:10:21.

It will thin to allow for another widespread frost first thing

:10:22.:10:29.

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

:10:30.:10:34.

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

:10:35.:10:37.

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

:10:38.:10:40.

through the early hours of Saturday morning.

:10:41.:10:43.

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

:10:44.:10:46.

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

:10:47.:10:49.

Feeling more like freezing, down to -2 Celsius

:10:50.:10:52.

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

:10:53.:10:55.

for a wintry shower, and on Saturday

:10:56.:10:58.

take a look at the Outlook towards the weekend.

:10:59.:11:08.

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

:11:09.:11:13.

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

:11:14.:11:17.

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

:11:18.:11:20.

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

:11:21.:11:26.

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

:11:27.:11:30.

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

:11:31.:11:34.

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

:11:35.:11:38.

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

:11:39.:11:43.

away from the far north and west falling to

:11:44.:11:44.
