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
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.

Images of British nurses staging a second unprecedented strike to demand pay rises and better working conditions in front of St Thomas' Hospital in London. The strike, which began last week, comes against a backdrop of multiple walkouts in the UK, where inflation is running at over 10%. IMAGES
Images of a picket line outside London Bridge station on the second day of the British railway workers' strike. 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
A handout portrait of Catherine, Princess of Wales, dominates UK newspapers for a second day after the 42-year-old British royal apologised for editing the image which was pulled by global photo agencies. The Daily Mirror calls it a 'Picture of Chaos', The Daily Mail refers to a 'PR Disaster', while The Sun demands 'Lay Off Kate'. The princess has not been seen in public since attending a Christmas Day church service, and underwent abdominal surgery in January. IMAGES
