British junior hospital doctors resume strike action which will last for five days, just one week before the country's general election in which the state of the publicly funded National Health Service is a major issue. The doctors have been asking for 35 percent "pay restoration" as a starting position amid a cost-of-living crisis. Labour's health spokesman Wes Streeting has said any Labour government would not meet the 35 percent demand but that there is "space for a discussion". IMAGES
