Images show a picket line in front of UCL hospital in London as junior doctors begin a 3-day strike over pay at the start of a week that will also see teachers, train staff and civil servants walk out in the lastest of a wave of UK industrial action. The strike by junior doctors -- who are not senior specialists but can still have decades of experience -- is the longest they have ever staged. The British Medical Association, the body representing them, says junior doctors have suffered a 26% real-terms paycut since 2008/09 and are demanding a 35% wage hike to combat this. IMAGES
After the largest day of strikes in the history of Britain's health service, a fresh day of Industrial action has been planned by nurses. Tuesday's strike is the second of four walkouts planned by health care workers this week. Hospital bosses are pleading with the government to resume negotiations over pay. The demand comes as patient care continues to suffer, with wait times for medical care continuing to mount. Peter O'Brien reports.
UK ambulance workers take to the picket line outside the London Ambulance Service headquarters, as they escalate a pay dispute with the government after walkouts by nurses and other public sector staff earlier in the week. The latest industrial action is being undertaken by paramedics and emergency call handlers, and comes amid similar pay and conditions-driven strikes by rail staff, passport control officers, postal workers and other NHS staff.

Thousands of rail workers staged the latest day-long walkout over pay and working conditions, plunging commutes into chaos and forcing many people to stay at home. Only around a fifth of services are set to operate on heavily reduced hours, with those still running starting much later in the morning than usual and to end as early as 6:30 pm. IMAGES
