Junior doctors in England have now decided to go

on strike for five days each month until Christmas.

It's part of the continuing row about a new employment contract

being imposed by the Government, as the Prime Mnister

This is a deal that is safe for patients.

The government is putting patients first, the BMA should be

putting patients first, not playing politics.

We are not playing politics either with junior doctors

This contract has been rejected by junior doctors,

they have rejected it because they have no faith in it.

We'll be looking at this sharp escalation in the dispute,

and the likely impact on the search for a solution.

Junior doctors in England have announced a significant escalation

of their strike plans in the dispute over their new employment contract.

The Prime Minister intervened in the dispute today,

accusing doctors of playing politics and failing to put patients first.

The doctor's union, the BMA, announced that in addition

to the first 5-day strike starting on the 12th of September,

there'll be another three strikes in the months to Christmas.

The doctors insist the new contract puts patients at risk by imposing

Our health editor Hugh Pym reports from Colchester.

The protests and demonstrations began a year ago, then came strikes

then what looked like an end to the contract row.

But yesterday, an escalation with a five-day strike

announced, and more dates for the rest of the year.

The junior doctors dispute in England is more bitter

At hospitals like this one, Colchester General,

there is a lot of extra work to do, planning for the industrial action

They have to bring in consultants from other areas to cover emergency

work and for a longer strike than the last one in April.

We coped before and indeed we will cope again,

but it will be more difficult this time given that we only have 12 days

to plan, and that is taking essential staff away from the jobs

they are doing over the next 12 days.

Junior doctors want concessions on safety, but their demands

also include more generous weekend pay allowance,

more detail on how the government intends to plan a full seven-day

service in the NHS, and more protection for women

visit to a West Midlands car plant gave no indication of any change

We have record levels of funding in the NHS,

we have more doctors than we have ever seen in the NHS history

and this is a deal which are safe for patients.

The Government is putting patients first, the BMA should be

putting patients first, not playing politics.

But junior doctors' representatives denied they were

playing politics, and said the government should now halt the

imposition of contract which had been rejected by BMA members.

We don't want to take industrial action at all.

All this would take is the government saying to us right now

we are going to lift the imposition, we are going to stop the imposition,

we are not going to force contract on junior doctors.

We already have a contract which allows us to work weekends.

For patients like Simon there is now uncertainty and worry,

My heart is with the doctors, I wouldn't

say doctors are bad, but at the same time,

I am in pain and I am in pain with essentially,

it is an hour's operation, it is a very simple thing

The key thing for the BMA is whether the members remain

A big unknown is how the public will react.

Also important is how voters judge the government's handling

There is no industrial action in Scotland, Wales

or Northern Ireland as there are no plans

In England, the dispute has intensified with no sign tonight

Our political correspondent Vicky Young is at Westminster.

Hugh Pym saying that there is no sign of any peace deal. Do you think

this kind of escalation will put a lot more pressure on ministers? You

would think so, but all the signs today are they are standing lately

firm. I think if Theresa May had wanted a change in direction, the

time to do that was when she became Prime Minister. She could have moved

Jeremy Hunt or fired him. Instead, I understand they did speak about the

doctors strike, the junior doctors contract and they agreed a way

forward. She clearly decided he was the best person to stay in the job.

Speaking to those close to the Health Secretary, they feel this is

a manifesto commitment. They feel they have compromised massively on

this. Crucially they say they had a deal. The BMA did decide they would

agree this deal. They now feel junior doctors have gone back on

that and they have called their reaction extreme and unreasonable.

So where does it go from here? The one thing that could change things

could be public opinion, more operations being cancelled or

postponed. Junior doctors feel they have had the support of the public

until now. If that was to change, this could be the one thing that

breaks the deadlock. Thank you. Manufacturing companies

have reported a strong recovery in August -

after suffering from an apparent loss of confidence in July -

following the Brexit vote. The value of the pound rose sharply,

after a survey suggested the manufacturing sector

enjoyed its biggest recovery Our economics correspondent

Andy Verity is in a factory Thank you. This is actually a glass

manufacturer here. They are thriving so much they are having to work

through the night just in order to meet demand. That is indicative of a

new buoyant mood among manufacturers. The data we have

today talks to executives at companies like this and asks are

they still better or worse? Anything over 50 says they are feeling

better. The reading we got today was 53.5 which is up by five points.

That is one of the biggest gains we have had in 25 years. July was very

gloomy so that is a big bounce back. Why is this happening? The

manufacturers are telling us that the pound's devaluation has really

helped them. There is a pound at $1 33 Ruffley, it used to be 1-point

for three so it used to be 10% cheaper. It acts as a stimulus to

the economy. On the other hand, the flip side is you have to pay more

when you are importing materials from abroad. Companies like this are

often paying 10% more. 44% of companies said they are paying more

for their imports. That has not fed through to us, the consumer yet, but

you can expect it to in the coming months. Thank you. Andy is in the

factory in Greenwich in London. A year ago, the image

of a three-year-old Syrian boy - Alan Kurdi - whose body was found

on a beach in Turkey, led to calls for urgent action

to end the migrant crisis. Today, his father called on world

leaders to "keep the door Alan drowned as his family tried

to cross the Aegean Sea - a route to Greece which is now

all but closed off. Most migrants now take the longer,

more dangerous Mediterranean So far this year, some

282,000 migrants have arrived in Europe by sea -

which is significantly fewer But the number of deaths is higher -

this year more than 3,000 people Our special correspondent

Fergal Keane has sent this report. Still they risk the crossing

on the waters where Alan Kurdi died. Fewer boats here but across

the Mediterranean, 3169 people, 500 more

than the same period last year. Until that morning a year ago,

the sea had claimed hundreds whose But the sight of three-year-old

Alan Kurdi, drowned at the water's edge, gave mass tragedy

an individual identity. Alan, his brother

and mother were lost. A day later, I met Alan's father

who had survived the tragedy. He paid people smugglers to make

the dangerous crossing. TRANSLATION: My children were

the most beautiful in the world. Is there anybody for

whom their child is not They woke me every day

to play with me. Abdullah Kurdi buried

his sons back in Syria. He turned down an offer of asylum

abroad, to be near them, he said. Now, a year on, I met him

again with his sister, in Kurdish dominated northern Iraq

where he now lives, exhausted, sad, he is preparing

to mark the anniversary. What are the memories of the boys

which come back to you? TRANSLATION: Everyday I think

of them, but today, I felt as if they had

come to me, and with me. as if they had come to me,

and slept with me. The tragedy created an international

outcry, propelled by social media. For the EU, the refugee and migrant

crisis became politically toxic. As governments struggled

to deal with the influx, TRANSLATION: At first,

the world was anxious to help the refugees,

but this did not even last a month. The war has escalated

and more people are leaving. Most fleeing war or poverty now come

to Europe via Libya, carried in smugglers' boats

until they are picked up or taken to Italy

by coastguards or aid agencies. Under a deal by the EU and Turkey,

most are prevented from crossing on the old route

to the Greek islands. Abdullah Kurdi is appealing

to the EU to admit more Syrians and to the big

powers to end the war. TRANSLATION: I hope that

all the leaders of the world can try and do good and stop the wars

so that the people Abdullah risked the crossing

to try and find that Our chief international

correspondent Lyse Doucet is here. That image of little Alan Kurdi was

meant to change everything. I am just wondering in your view, what

has changed? Lets focus minds for a moment. Fergal Keane mentioned a

deal, a controversial deal with Turkey whereby Turkey would stop the

flow of Syrians and take care of them in Turkey, in exchange for visa

free travel for Turks across the EU. Turkey was supposed to meet other

conditions before that happened. It has not and there will be crisis

talks next week to try and rescue that deal. But that deal is looking

fragile. And other deals as well. One of the reasons why Syrian

families leave is because there are no schools for their children. In

February, here in London, Western leaders promised they would get all

Syrian refugee children in the region in school by the end of this

school year. The school year is starting and the funds are nowhere

in sight. More importantly, no end in sight for the war. Not in Syria,

not to mention Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Eritrea, and life getting

harder in so many places. We see today in, day out, that people are

willing to do anything they can to escape. Governments have to focus on

this question. They have to decide who I genuine refugees and give them

asylum. They have a right under international law. And decide if

there are spaces and jobs for the migrants coming in. Is there a space

for them? This problem is not going to go away and it may get worse.

Thank you. An unmanned rocket operated

by the private company SpaceX has exploded during a routine test

at Cape Canaveral in Florida. The Falcon 9 had been due to carry

are being discharged from hospitals, despite having no home to

care is putting considerable pressure on the NHS -

but charities working with those sleeping rough say it is simply

wrong to discharge vulnerable people The numbers of rough sleepers

with mental health problems has tripled in the past six years

in London alone - as our social affairs correspondent

Michael Buchanan reports. There are some flashing

News, East London. The chief executive

of Apple, Tim Cook, says the European Commission ruling

on the firm's tax status in Ireland is maddening

and politically motivated. He also said that Apple planned

to send some of its enormous pile of overseas cash back

to the United States next year. Our business editor,

Simon Jack, is here. Tell us a little more about this

response? I don't think anyone expectedal Apple to say, fair

enough, here is ?11 billion. But it was a striking response. It was

personal. He accused of the wrong doing. He was defiant. Saying he had

done nothing wrong. He dismissed it as political but it was clear in its

right, that the Irish Government, the Irish people were sticking

together, that they had not a don anything wrong. Then they said that

they would re-patriate this cash pile back to the US. That is a

change. Previously saying that tacks rates were punitive. That will be a

matter for the US law makers, who say that by the way if anyone sends

back taxes there, it is them. He didn't quite get the Irish

Government where he wanted to get them as they could not agree on the

consensus of the response yesterday. They with will have another go at a

meeting, as some may be ruling within and saying do we really not

want this money? ?13 Intel a lot. There is an echoing in the foot

The biggest biomedical research centre in Europe

the Francis Crick Institute in London has opened its doors

to an international team of more than 1,200 scientists.

They'll be working on new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent

conditions such as cancer, heart disease and stroke.

Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh has been to see

the new centre and to talk to some of those involved.

London has a new landmark, the Crick, named after

This cathedral to science is right behind the British Library

As well as what you can see, there are four storeys below ground,

which will house scanners, electron microscopes

This is my laboratory and we've already started work.

One of the first scientists to move in is its Nobel Prize-winning

director, Sir Paul Nurse, who's working on cell division,

fundamental to our understanding of diseases like cancer.

We would attract brilliant scientists from around the world

and take on the biology underpinning diseases

like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, neuro degeneration

and push forward biomedical research well into the 21st Century.

When it's fully open next year, the Crick will be home to more

than 1,200 scientists from every field of medical research.

A building on this vast scale is a tangible public statement

about the importance of science in Britain and the hope will be

that the discoveries made here will eventually benefit us all.

HIV, TB, malaria and flu will all be studied in high containment

laboratories off this corridor and the ultimate goal

A better understanding will always lead to the ability to find

new drug targets and, ultimately, if we can

work out the specifics of how these things work,

Brexit will have an impact and mean the loss of planned EU funding,

but the Crick's top scientists saying the building sends a powerful

international message that is Britain is open for us.

international message that is Britain is open for business.

The Paralympic Games start in Rio next Wednesday.

In the run up we're hearing from some of the athletes

Boccia is perhaps one of the least known sports but it's also one

of the most inclusive offering the most-disabled athletes

Our reporter and former Paralympian Kate Grey caught up

with one of its stars, Northern Ireland's Claire Taggart.

Until four years ago, neither had Claire Taggart.

Now she's off to Rio to compete in her first Paralympic Games.

When people ask me, are you excited about going to Rio, I'm thrilled.

I don't think it'll be real until I get on that plane.

I didn't think it would even be an option, if I'm honest with you,

6,000 miles from Rio is Claire's home town in Northern Ireland

where a lot of the hard work takes place.

I have some pigeons for company there in the hall sometimes.

How do you keep yourself motivated when you haven't got team-mates

around you or competition all the time.

Someone will post in our messaging group,

Then we'll all be doing that that week to beat that person's score.

It's changed quite a lot over the last four years.

Take us through what you've gone through.

but I got diagnosed with a condition called dystonia.

That means abnormal posturing and muscle contractures.

Yeah, everything is just back to what I could do.

It's been crazy the amount of people I don't know who are saying

I still see myself as a little girl from Larne who just throws balls.

You sit here very confidently and talk about it in a very positive

way, having a disability, being in a wheelchair.
