:00:10. > :00:12.Hello it's Tuesday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire.

:00:13. > :00:16.This morning junior doctors in England have begun an all out

:00:17. > :00:21.strike for the first time in the history of the NHS.

:00:22. > :00:24.We're outside an A hospital in central London where Throughout

:00:25. > :00:28.the programme we'll hear from doctors, politicians and those

:00:29. > :00:31.affected by today's strike - the latest action in a dispute

:00:32. > :00:34.with the government over a new contract which the Health Secretary

:00:35. > :00:44.You can see the various banners here, messages to England's Health

:00:45. > :00:49.Secretary. Trust real doctors, not spin doctors one of the banners

:00:50. > :00:54.says. Tell us why you have withdrawn emergency care today? There are

:00:55. > :00:57.simply too many holes in the junior doctor contract to make it safe. For

:00:58. > :01:02.example, in the change to our working hours, we can be expected to

:01:03. > :01:06.work until 2 in the morning and be back at 7 in the morning. It's not

:01:07. > :01:09.safe for patients and doctors. Somebody's just handed you a rose,

:01:10. > :01:13.clearly supporting what you do today. How difficult a decision was

:01:14. > :01:17.it for you to withdraw emergency cover? It's not a decision any

:01:18. > :01:21.doctor has taken lightly. This contract's is simply drawn up by

:01:22. > :01:24.politicians simply out of touch with what it's like to work on the

:01:25. > :01:28.frontline with not enough staff and support and this contract will make

:01:29. > :01:33.it so much more worse. It's great to see the public understand and know

:01:34. > :01:40.why we are doing this. Much more from junior doctors on the picket

:01:41. > :01:45.line this morning. Members of the public chanting, saying "I 100%

:01:46. > :01:49.support you guys, keep going". We'll hear from some members of the public

:01:50. > :01:53.who're not happy about this. We'll hear from patients, politicians and

:01:54. > :01:56.doctors. The latest strike over the new contract which the Health

:01:57. > :02:25.Secretary for England is going to impose upon them.

:02:26. > :02:46.I Also coming -- we'll also hear from the families of the 96 who died

:02:47. > :02:54.at the Hillsborough inquest. It wasn't the norm even then, the first

:02:55. > :02:57.one. Once the second one happened... Just everybody just knew then just

:02:58. > :03:27.how bad it was. You join us on a very busy St

:03:28. > :03:29.Thomas' Hospital on the picket line. That is our top story today.

:03:30. > :03:32.Our top story today: Junior doctors at hospitals across England have

:03:33. > :03:35.begun an all-out strike this morning - and for the first time in

:03:36. > :03:47.the history of the NHS they will not provide emergency care.

:03:48. > :03:54.It's the fifth strike in a long running dispute,

:03:55. > :03:56.which began when talks about a new contract

:03:57. > :04:00.The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt says it's a very bleak

:04:01. > :04:07.Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes reports.

:04:08. > :04:10.Now who's going to see them first in A, now there won't be juniors?

:04:11. > :04:13.For the fifth time this year, hospital managers in England have

:04:14. > :04:16.been busy putting plans in place for a strike by junior doctors.

:04:17. > :04:19.But, unlike previous walk-outs in this long-running

:04:20. > :04:21.and increasingly bitter dispute, today's action will

:04:22. > :04:26.At Ipswich Hospital, they are braced for

:04:27. > :04:32.To be honest, yes, I do feel a little bit between rock and a hard

:04:33. > :04:35.place on this particular issue, but my responsibility is very clear.

:04:36. > :04:38.My responsibility is for the safe, compassionate, high-quality care

:04:39. > :04:41.of the 3000 people that come to this hospital every day that expect that.

:04:42. > :04:43.That's what I have to concentrate on.

:04:44. > :04:45.The rights, the wrongs, the issues are beyond me, really.

:04:46. > :04:54.This strike by junior doc is in England will cover two days,

:04:55. > :04:57.from eight in the morning to five o'clock in the afternoon

:04:58. > :05:04.NHS England says more than 112,000 outpatient appointments will be hit

:05:05. > :05:09.More than 12,700 planned operations will be cancelled.

:05:10. > :05:13.The doctors' union, the BMA, has been criticised by some

:05:14. > :05:18.But junior doctors argue that by threatening to impose

:05:19. > :05:20.a new contract, the Government has left them with little choice.

:05:21. > :05:25.In stretching us more thinly, in causing such a degree

:05:26. > :05:28.of demoralisation and overstretch, Jeremy Hunt is going to endanger

:05:29. > :05:33.patients in the long term, he is going to spread us too thiny,

:05:34. > :05:36.and I can't possibly stand by and allow that to happen.

:05:37. > :05:39.Ministers describe the strike action as extreme and say it will be deeply

:05:40. > :05:45.Well, I could stop this strike by abandoning a manifesto promise

:05:46. > :05:48.that the British people voted on just under a year ago

:05:49. > :05:55.As I said, it was the first line of the first page of the manifesto,

:05:56. > :06:02.And I don't think any union has the right to blackmail a government,

:06:03. > :06:05.to force a government to abandon a manifesto promise that the British

:06:06. > :06:10.It's difficult to see how the deadlock can be broken.

:06:11. > :06:28.HughPym is alongside me here. Tell us how you think patient care will

:06:29. > :06:32.be affected today? Everybody on the picket line would say they have been

:06:33. > :06:36.reassured by their consultant colleagues, that full cover will be

:06:37. > :06:39.provided. Talking to most hospitals, they say patients shouldn't be

:06:40. > :06:43.concerned that essential care will be there, although people are being

:06:44. > :06:48.urged not to go into A if they can avoid that. But I detect

:06:49. > :06:51.apprehension. We have never been here before, but maybe some of the

:06:52. > :06:55.smaller hospitals might struggle to cope. They might find it really

:06:56. > :07:00.difficult. There are local agreements between the BMA and NHS

:07:01. > :07:03.England to get people, doctors back into hospital if there is a major

:07:04. > :07:06.incident for example. It's never happened before so it's hard to

:07:07. > :07:10.gauge how things will pan out. Where do you think we go from here because

:07:11. > :07:13.the two sides, the Government and the British Medical Association and

:07:14. > :07:17.all these junior doctors on this picket line today are as far apart

:07:18. > :07:20.as ever? They are as far apart as ever. There haven't been any talks

:07:21. > :07:23.since February. The Government have made it clear, Jeremy Hunt again

:07:24. > :07:27.this morning, the Health Secretary saying, this was a contract that he

:07:28. > :07:31.wanted to introduce, it would be introduced and the BMA are saying

:07:32. > :07:34.until they drop in position, this dispute will continue. The question

:07:35. > :07:38.is how it happens today and tomorrow, what Tim pact is, the BMA

:07:39. > :07:44.will have to look at that and then assess what they do next. I don't

:07:45. > :07:49.sense there's any backing away -- the impact. People will be watching

:07:50. > :07:52.as to whether some doctors have gone into work today maybe a little

:07:53. > :08:12.concerned about the direction this dispute's taken. Thank you HughPym.

:08:13. > :08:18.A crush during an FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield in 1989 resulted in the

:08:19. > :08:21.deaths of 96 Liverpool fans. The inquest conclusions will be heard

:08:22. > :08:25.today. Among the questions the jurors have had to answer is whether

:08:26. > :08:29.they were unlawfully killed. Andy Gill is at the inquest in

:08:30. > :08:36.Warrington. The jurors had to consider 14 questions in all. Tell

:08:37. > :08:41.us what they have been looking at? That's right. The coroner gave them

:08:42. > :08:46.a 14-point questionnaire asking them to consider issues such as, did any

:08:47. > :08:51.errors or emissions in the police planning for the match in April 1989

:08:52. > :08:56.contribute to the disaster? Did the behaviour of the fans contribute to

:08:57. > :09:02.a crush which developed outside the ground before the fatal crush inside

:09:03. > :09:06.the ground, were there errors and emissions in the emergency response

:09:07. > :09:11.by the police and the South Yorkshire Ambulance Service which

:09:12. > :09:15.contributed to the disaster? The key question is question 6, that is

:09:16. > :09:18.where the 96 Liverpool fans who died unlawfully killed. To answer that

:09:19. > :09:23.question yes, the coroner told the jury they had to decide if the match

:09:24. > :09:28.commander, Chief Superintendent David Dukinfield owed a duty of care

:09:29. > :09:33.to the fans of the match. If so, did he breach that care. Thirdly, did

:09:34. > :09:37.the breach cause the deaths. Fourthly, was it bad enough to be

:09:38. > :09:42.considered gross negligence manslaughter. This is an inquest,

:09:43. > :09:47.its function is to find out who the people were who died and why they

:09:48. > :09:53.died. It can't apportion blame or guilt as would happen in a criminal

:09:54. > :09:58.court. The verdict conclusions are due at 11 o'clock, as you can see.

:09:59. > :10:04.Already a queue developing. 300 people will be packed into the

:10:05. > :10:08.courtroom, it's a ticket event only, such is the interest in this that

:10:09. > :10:13.the events are being relayed to two other venues so that people who have

:10:14. > :10:16.an interest, not just the families but other people as well, can watch

:10:17. > :10:22.what is going on. Thank you. Scottish Power has been

:10:23. > :10:24.fined ?18 million by the energy regulator Ofgem following an

:10:25. > :10:28.investigation into failings of customer service.

:10:29. > :10:30.Ofgem said Scottish Power's call handling, complaints procedure

:10:31. > :10:33.and billing were all found to be inadequate - resulting

:10:34. > :10:36.in one million complaints in two and a half years.

:10:37. > :10:38.More than 3 hundred thousand customers received late bills.

:10:39. > :10:57.It's the third biggest penalty ever imposed on an energy company.

:10:58. > :11:03.That is a summary of the latest news. More at 9. 30. Back to

:11:04. > :11:10.Victoria. We are at St Thomas' Hospital at a

:11:11. > :11:18.picket lain. You can see some junior doctors.

:11:19. > :11:23.CHANTING: Save our NHS, save our NHS...

:11:24. > :11:26.Some have withdrawn from working on maternity wards. This is the first

:11:27. > :11:31.time they have withdrawn emergency cover. Some of the people on the

:11:32. > :11:34.picket line weren't due on shift today and are from other hospitals

:11:35. > :11:38.and have come down to support them. We are going to talk to some of the

:11:39. > :11:45.doctors here and the patients as well to hear what they think of it.

:11:46. > :11:49.Before that, it's the sport. What a big night it was in the

:11:50. > :11:52.Premier League title race. Leicester City are now just three points from

:11:53. > :11:56.lifting the trophy and they've got West Brom to thank after a 1-1 draw

:11:57. > :12:00.with second-placed Tottenham last night. It was a match that Spurs

:12:01. > :12:06.needed to win to keep the pressure on at the top. They went ahead

:12:07. > :12:11.through a Craig Dawson goal. The West Brom defender went from villain

:12:12. > :12:17.to Leicester City hero in the second half, heading in the equaliser that

:12:18. > :12:21.shattered Spurs' dreams. With Spurs seven points off the top,

:12:22. > :12:24.it means Leicester can claim a first ever title with victory at

:12:25. > :12:30.Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. They'll have to do that

:12:31. > :12:32.without Jamie Vardy though. He'll serve an additional one-match

:12:33. > :12:38.suspension for his reaction to being sent off against West Ham last week.

:12:39. > :12:44.Vardy who's been instrumental for the 22 league goals has been fined

:12:45. > :12:50.?10,000. So, no Jamie Vardy, but I raise you

:12:51. > :12:54.one former Leicester City striker in Paul Dikov who will know what a

:12:55. > :12:58.title would mean for Leicester City, although does anyone know what it

:12:59. > :13:01.would do? ! The story of them winning on Sunday would be

:13:02. > :13:07.incredible? I wouldn't put it past them. People have been writing

:13:08. > :13:11.Leicester off all season, come October November, people said they

:13:12. > :13:16.wouldn't do it, then they beat the top clubs. People were saying they

:13:17. > :13:23.might struggle against Sunderland, West Brom and south Tom tonnes, they

:13:24. > :13:26.won those. West Ham, they said they blew it, then Jamie Vardy comes in

:13:27. > :13:31.and scores two. It's fairytale stuff. People keep saying it but

:13:32. > :13:38.it's fantastic. You have to give them credit. Anything put in front

:13:39. > :13:43.of them, they've blown it away. Manchester City, put that hat on for

:13:44. > :13:49.now. They have Real Madrid. What do you reckon they need to do if they

:13:50. > :13:54.are going to progress? First and foremost, it's going to be a great

:13:55. > :14:01.occasion. I think it's imperative tonight they keep a clean sheet and

:14:02. > :14:05.Toure being out might slightly suit them with Fernandinho being part of

:14:06. > :14:10.the back four. Real Madrid have the stars, but at the same time, they

:14:11. > :14:13.are vulnerable defensively as well with Aguero and De Bruyne, Silva

:14:14. > :14:17.coming back, the one thing I do think, there'll be a lot of goals

:14:18. > :14:21.over both legs. You talk about it being such a great occasion. This is

:14:22. > :14:26.just like Leicester City in a way, fairytale stuff. You were with the

:14:27. > :14:31.club 15, 16 years ago. This is unfathomable? It is. I look back to

:14:32. > :14:36.League One, pushing for the play-offs, we were 12th at

:14:37. > :14:40.Christmas, people run us off, we were cleaning our own kit because we

:14:41. > :14:43.didn't have the laundry equipment. I'm pleased for a lot of people at

:14:44. > :14:49.the club, the owners have thrown a lot of money at it. There are a lot

:14:50. > :14:53.of people still working there. I signed in 95-96 season, for the

:14:54. > :15:00.fans, they followed us all the way through. Terrible spell. Times are

:15:01. > :15:03.changing at City. Paul Dickov will be on the terraces cheering like the

:15:04. > :15:07.best of them. Thanks for joining us today. It's all going on. Victoria,

:15:08. > :15:11.back to you. Thank you very much. It's a bright,

:15:12. > :15:15.freezing cold morning here in Central London. We have got Big Ben

:15:16. > :15:19.on one side of Westminster Bridge and St Thomas' Hospital on this side

:15:20. > :15:23.of Westminster Bridge where you can see the picket line, striking junior

:15:24. > :15:28.doctors. Today, the first over all-out strike by the doctors in

:15:29. > :15:31.England. In the NHS, you probably know this is unprecedented.

:15:32. > :15:35.Thousands of doctors involved in front line care won't be working in

:15:36. > :15:39.A departments. On maternity wards, cancer wards. Doctors began their

:15:40. > :15:43.action an hour and 15 minutes ago and are due to end at 5 today. Then

:15:44. > :15:47.they'll do the same again tomorrow. It's all over a row over their new

:15:48. > :15:51.contracts, contracts which England's Health Secretary is now going to

:15:52. > :15:56.impose on them. We'll talk to plenty of doctors in a moment and we'll

:15:57. > :16:08.hear from patients and polices. Jim Reid looks at how we got to this

:16:09. > :16:13.point first. What is this strike really about? Junior doctors are

:16:14. > :16:16.unhappy with the new employment contract, rolled out in August

:16:17. > :16:23.through the country. Who will it affect? 55,000 junior doctors in

:16:24. > :16:29.England, one in three doctors across the whole NHS. They are not

:16:30. > :16:36.students, anyone local consultant and GP level. They can add ten years

:16:37. > :16:44.experience. They should macro they can have. Government wants to raise

:16:45. > :16:48.basic wages by 13.5%. That comes at a price. Doctors have two

:16:49. > :16:54.complaints, the first over unsocial hours. Doctors get paid more if they

:16:55. > :17:01.get rated on after 7pm and Saturday and Sunday. The government must cut

:17:02. > :17:07.that back, 10pm in the week, 5pm on the weekend. We are here to improve

:17:08. > :17:14.patient safety, tired doctors kill patients. We feel in hospital,

:17:15. > :17:17.people are not getting a fair deal. We feel junior doctors, staffing

:17:18. > :17:23.problems will be worse and worse. We'll doctors lose out? Rumbly not

:17:24. > :17:28.to start with. The gunmen has promised to protect a for three

:17:29. > :17:33.years. This is not about winners and losers on day one. In time doctors

:17:34. > :17:37.are worried they will regularly be forced to work weekends and evenings

:17:38. > :17:41.for less money. Guaranteed pay rises are also being scrapped. That means

:17:42. > :17:48.they could earn less in the long run. Studies have suggested that

:17:49. > :17:52.patients admitted at the weekend are more likely to die. Experts cannot

:17:53. > :17:57.agree why, or whether anything could be done. The government says the new

:17:58. > :18:02.contract will let it bring in a save NHS, seven days a week. We don't

:18:03. > :18:04.want to cut the pay going to junior doctors, we want to change the face

:18:05. > :18:16.structures, forcing faster -- hospitals to greater three times

:18:17. > :18:20.less cover at weekends. Doctors say they will strip back safeguards,

:18:21. > :18:23.forcing people to work excessive hours, making things more risky for

:18:24. > :18:29.patients. Talks have broken down completely. The government have said

:18:30. > :18:34.they will go ahead with the new contract in August. More industrial

:18:35. > :18:37.action is likely. Today we will see junior doctors in accidents and

:18:38. > :18:45.emergencies walk-out, the first strike of its kind in its history in

:18:46. > :18:48.the NHS. Jeremy Hunt called the walk-out and incredibly sad day for

:18:49. > :18:55.the NHS, calling on the BMA to get around the table for more talks. We

:18:56. > :19:03.have had talks over three years now. 75 meetings to try and resolve this.

:19:04. > :19:06.The outstanding issue, Saturday pay, the main stumbling block to the

:19:07. > :19:12.agreement, we are offering doctors more pay on Saturdays than nurses,

:19:13. > :19:17.health care assistants working in operating theatres, a fair deal.

:19:18. > :19:20.Many people would say is it proportionate or appropriate to

:19:21. > :19:32.withdraw emergency care for patients for the sake of getting more pay at

:19:33. > :19:36.the weekend. Let's have a look at some of the banners. Junior doctors

:19:37. > :19:38.try King, and other colleagues coming down here, not due to work,

:19:39. > :19:52.but supporting them. Let's talk to various people we have

:19:53. > :19:58.here. Here outside St Thomas's Hospital

:19:59. > :20:00.in London we've brought together 3 junior doctors who are striking

:20:01. > :20:02.today and three members of the public who don't believe

:20:03. > :20:08.they should be on strike. Dr Jenny Hao is a junior doctor

:20:09. > :20:11.working in A at Queen Elizabeth hospital in Woolwich,

:20:12. > :20:12.London. Jenny is striking today

:20:13. > :20:14.but reluctantly. Dr Kitty Mohan,

:20:15. > :20:16.who is also striking. She is on the BMA Junior Doctor

:20:17. > :20:18.Committee and involved in the negotiations

:20:19. > :20:20.over this new contract Dr Shehzad Kunmar is a junior

:20:21. > :20:23.doctor at William Harvey He's planning on moving

:20:24. > :20:26.abroad next year - because of the new contract

:20:27. > :20:29.and the pressures facing the NHS. Also with us Sumita Mapara,

:20:30. > :20:32.who works in a nursery in London. Robert Tyler, a student

:20:33. > :20:33.from Buckinghamshire And James Glenister, who is a 2nd

:20:34. > :20:35.year medical student at University College London,

:20:36. > :20:49.and Vice-Chair of the University's Jenny, you work in A? This

:20:50. > :20:53.decision to withdraw emergency cover today, how have you reached this

:20:54. > :21:04.point? It has been really difficult. For me, very sad to see it come to

:21:05. > :21:10.this point. I want to reiterate, all our consultants have come in to

:21:11. > :21:14.cover us, 8am to five p.m.. Not the night shifts stop those consultants

:21:15. > :21:17.covering for you, in the meantime you have walked out on your

:21:18. > :21:25.patients. Actually I was not scheduled to work until Thursday, it

:21:26. > :21:29.was not such a dilemma. But I've come to support the cause we feel so

:21:30. > :21:34.strongly about. How is this proportionate? It is proportionate,

:21:35. > :21:40.because it has taken us three years to get it. We have tried

:21:41. > :21:45.negotiation, we have tried marches, petitions, every other form of

:21:46. > :21:50.industrial action. Why this escalation? Why will the Health

:21:51. > :21:57.Secretary take notice because of this kind of action? We feel we have

:21:58. > :22:01.to take this action, in order to get them to listen. Frankly, at the

:22:02. > :22:05.moment nothing else has worked. We really need the threat of the

:22:06. > :22:10.contract position to be removed in order for us to have a proper

:22:11. > :22:18.negotiation over the contract. Let me ask you, various people have

:22:19. > :22:20.said, taking thousands of doctors out of front line emergency care in

:22:21. > :22:25.England cannot be done without letting patients at greater risk. I

:22:26. > :22:31.have heard this argument quite a lot. There are numerous occasions

:22:32. > :22:36.where there are lack of doctors on the shop floor. Christmas Day,

:22:37. > :22:41.Boxing Day. Three times a year or junior doctors change rotations. At

:22:42. > :22:47.that point, when we are having induction for one day or a few

:22:48. > :22:54.hours, consultants are looking after the patients. It is just like that.

:22:55. > :22:58.Senior doctors are covering. Why is the medical director of the NHS in

:22:59. > :23:03.England saying this action puts additional strain on A, maternity

:23:04. > :23:08.care and emergency services. Particularly in smaller hospitals?

:23:09. > :23:12.In smaller hospitals, the situation with the lack of funding, rotor

:23:13. > :23:16.gaps, those are the situations which brought us here in the first place.

:23:17. > :23:24.That situation will only get worse if we don't take industrial action.

:23:25. > :23:27.You are all members of the public, going about normal student

:23:28. > :23:31.activities, tell our junior doctors what you think of this action? I was

:23:32. > :23:35.going to ask them, lots of appointments being cancelled, when

:23:36. > :23:39.will they catch up with those appointments? If you are going to be

:23:40. > :23:43.striking, I understand the strike will take place today and tomorrow,

:23:44. > :23:50.I don't know how many appointments will be cancelled. As it is, we are

:23:51. > :23:59.short of doctors in this country. How long will it take? I believe the

:24:00. > :24:04.routine outpatient clinic procedures have been cancelled. There is no

:24:05. > :24:07.strike back and happen without inconvenient. Note urgent procedure

:24:08. > :24:15.is having cancelled. No immediate risk to the public. How do you know

:24:16. > :24:18.there is no immediate risk? Because every patient who needs to see a

:24:19. > :24:26.doctor urgently can see a very competent doctor. What do you think

:24:27. > :24:30.of this right? The thing about the strike, the public has sympathy for

:24:31. > :24:33.the doctors at the moment. There is a huge risk if they keep calling

:24:34. > :24:38.civil action the public will lose sympathy for the doctors, like the

:24:39. > :24:41.drivers and taxi drivers. The message the doctors are trying to

:24:42. > :24:47.get across will not resonate with the public anymore. Do you still

:24:48. > :24:53.support it? I do at this stage. But if they keep going on strike, acting

:24:54. > :25:01.like student radicals, they will become known for going on strike. I

:25:02. > :25:06.am not part of any party political affiliation. I am literally here as

:25:07. > :25:10.a junior doctor, the reason I have withdrawn my labour is because I've

:25:11. > :25:15.been a junior doctor for eight years, throughout that time I have

:25:16. > :25:19.not heard anyone listening to the concerns we have had on the shop

:25:20. > :25:22.floor. The past few months have exacerbated that situation. If the

:25:23. > :25:28.Department of Health does not listen to people on the shop floor, who

:25:29. > :25:34.worked day in, day out, you can not come to a mutual agreement to move

:25:35. > :25:37.forward and the future of the NHS. The Department of Health said you

:25:38. > :25:42.had three years to come forward and renegotiate the contract. You have

:25:43. > :25:46.not. You have waited until the last minute to push the little button.

:25:47. > :25:52.You could have resolved this? The problem here, I am a medical

:25:53. > :25:57.student, as well as being a member of the Conservative Society. I am

:25:58. > :26:06.torn on this. Up until this point I do fully support the strike. When I

:26:07. > :26:11.joined this profession I am nervous that the public will turn on us.

:26:12. > :26:22.Julie on emergency care they will make this decision. The Times put it

:26:23. > :26:25.quite well, once you enter strike action event of the world of

:26:26. > :26:32.politics and leave medicine. ID crossing the line? Today has to be

:26:33. > :26:35.one of the saddest days of my professional career standing on this

:26:36. > :26:43.picket line. Have you crossed the line? We are here because there was

:26:44. > :26:46.no other option for us. This is the first time this has occurred in the

:26:47. > :26:56.UK for junior doctors, we know our consultant colleagues are supporting

:26:57. > :27:01.us. We are incredibly happy with the level of public support we have had

:27:02. > :27:05.today. James does have a point. Because of the withdrawal emergency

:27:06. > :27:13.cover the president of situation, the public support might but to

:27:14. > :27:22.Wayne? It is a genuine concern. I would love to see a way out of this.

:27:23. > :27:26.Jeremy Hunt has all always the BMA are not negotiating well. We are all

:27:27. > :27:32.eloquent people we will be happy to talk to him. He's avoiding talking

:27:33. > :27:40.to us at all. We don't want to attack him, but we would like to

:27:41. > :27:44.enter meaningful negotiation. Do it? We have been trying for a good few

:27:45. > :27:47.months. It was the Department of Health who stepped out of

:27:48. > :27:53.negotiations. They are not willing to negotiate now. Even last week,

:27:54. > :27:57.the chairman of the Junior Doctors Committee requested to meet with

:27:58. > :28:00.Jamie Hunt, meet with the Department of Health and come back to

:28:01. > :28:05.meaningful negotiations. All that resulted in was the Secretary of

:28:06. > :28:10.State came back onto TV, saying the contract is going to be imposed,

:28:11. > :28:16.like it or lump it. They were expecting you to withdraw today's

:28:17. > :28:19.strike action. We would do that. Number ten say, David Cameron

:28:20. > :28:25.believes it is irresponsible of junior doctors to withdraw emergency

:28:26. > :28:29.cover. Jeremy Hunt has the full support of the Prime Minister for

:28:30. > :28:34.his handling of this dispute. As a member of the public how has Jeremy

:28:35. > :28:38.Hunt handled it? To be honest, both sides of handled it terribly. The

:28:39. > :28:44.BMA and the Department of Health are scared of losing face, why they are

:28:45. > :28:47.clashing. If both of them would accept the fact neither can win,

:28:48. > :28:52.coming to negotiation, they will be a solution. Neither side is willing

:28:53. > :28:55.to back down, neither side wants to be the loser. The gunmen have

:28:56. > :29:00.calculated that they think they can win. Jeremy Hunt has full support

:29:01. > :29:06.from the Downing Street and Treasury departments. If you ask most people

:29:07. > :29:10.in the street, are you surprised the government has handled this badly,

:29:11. > :29:14.most people would say no. If you point a position where the

:29:15. > :29:19.government has been awful, you would point to tax credit cuts this

:29:20. > :29:23.ability cuts. If you asked the public are you surprised junior

:29:24. > :29:29.doctors are withdrawing emergency care, that the surprise a lot of

:29:30. > :29:33.people. It is after you have the most to lose. This could be a

:29:34. > :29:41.mistake. We have comments from people watching to you discuss this.

:29:42. > :29:44.Right around the country. A tweet, totally support the junior doctors,

:29:45. > :29:50.the government needs to listen to those people, not bully them. An

:29:51. > :29:58.e-mail, I'm a patient, and the doctor, and require an urgent

:29:59. > :30:03.operation. It has been this phone twice, in which time I get worse. If

:30:04. > :30:07.doctors are worried about lack of funding, why do they realise they

:30:08. > :30:12.are part of the solution? Proposing a pay cut to balance the NHS books.

:30:13. > :30:15.We have much more of that to come. We will talk to the Conservative MP,

:30:16. > :30:24.Andrew Jenkins after the news and sport. Junior doctors at hospitals

:30:25. > :30:27.across England have begun an all-out strike for the first time in history

:30:28. > :30:32.the NHS. They will not provide emergency care. It is a fifth strike

:30:33. > :30:39.in a long-running dispute, when talks about a new contract breakdown

:30:40. > :30:48.in 2014. Jeremy Hunt says it is a very bleak day for the NHS. Those

:30:49. > :30:52.striking state is necessary. We feel we have to take this action to get

:30:53. > :30:57.them to listen. Frankly at the moment nothing else has worked. We

:30:58. > :31:00.really need the threat. We needed to be removed for us to have a proper

:31:01. > :31:42.negotiation over the contract. The crush in Sheffield in 1989

:31:43. > :31:45.resulted in the deaths of 96 Among the questions

:31:46. > :31:54.the fans must answer Is, were they unlawfully killed. Ben

:31:55. > :32:01.Brown is at the inquest in Warrington.

:32:02. > :32:08.What is happening? You can see some of the families here. The verdict

:32:09. > :32:14.will be announced at 11 o'clock. It's been a long, long wait to the

:32:15. > :32:18.questions that the families have, 27 years ago 96 fans lost their lives

:32:19. > :32:24.at that FA Cup semi-final. It's been a two-year set of inquests here in

:32:25. > :32:28.Warrington. The jury of nine have heard from hundreds of witnesses,

:32:29. > :32:32.they've watched hundreds of hours of video footage and Waded through

:32:33. > :32:36.thousands of documents for two years. Now, finally, we are going to

:32:37. > :32:41.have their findings and answers to 14 key questions that have been put

:32:42. > :32:46.to them by the coroner about a whole range of issues. The design of the

:32:47. > :32:49.stadium, the behaviour of the fans, the response of the emergency

:32:50. > :32:56.services, the match planning and so on. The key question is - were the

:32:57. > :33:00.96 Liverpool fans unlawfully killed? That is question 6. Now, to say

:33:01. > :33:04.that, then the jury have been told they have to be clear that the match

:33:05. > :33:08.commander on the day, David Dukinfield had a duty of care to the

:33:09. > :33:11.fans that he was in breach of, and was in breach of through gross

:33:12. > :33:14.negligence. That is the key question, question 6. We'll get the

:33:15. > :33:17.answers, the findings of the jury, from 11 o'clock this morning here in

:33:18. > :33:22.Warrington. Thank you, Ben.

:38:25. > :38:27.It's unprecedented strike action, the first time that junior doctors

:38:28. > :38:32.in gland have ever withdrawn emergency cover. It's being describe

:38:37. > :38:42.around from junior doctors to their colleagues. People of the NHS for

:38:43. > :38:45.the first time in the history of the NHS, junior doctors will be taking

:38:46. > :38:49.full strike action, we wanted to thank you for all of your support

:38:50. > :38:57.and in your break come and say hello to those outside, thank you for all

:38:58. > :39:03.your amazing support. So busy here in Central London. Motorists are

:39:04. > :39:08.driving by, beeping their horns, that shows support for the people on

:39:09. > :39:13.the picket line here. Let's just try and grab a couple on the picket line

:39:14. > :39:17.if we can. Hello. Hi, good morning, hello, hi, good morning, Sir, hi.

:39:18. > :39:21.Victoria from BBC News, how are you? I'm good. Tell our add Jens about

:39:22. > :39:27.this decision that you have made today? Well, it's extremely

:39:28. > :39:34.difficult a decision, as you can imagine. But it just got to a point

:39:35. > :39:38.where we've got to stand up to the Government really and we've got to

:39:39. > :39:42.protect our patients' safety. How is what you are doing today,

:39:43. > :39:48.withdrawing emergency cover, proteching patient' safety? We have

:39:49. > :39:51.made sure that those inside the hospital are backing us and that

:39:52. > :39:56.they are providing full support for us. We have made sure that none of

:39:57. > :40:01.our patients today are in any harm. But if you look at what the

:40:02. > :40:09.Government are trying to introduce, they are trying to introduce totally

:40:10. > :40:13.unsafe contracts. The rotas they publish for my special team in

:40:14. > :40:20.critical care are completely inadequate for the patients. Do you

:40:21. > :40:29.think today will change anything? Sadly, I think the debate's got far

:40:30. > :40:34.too emotional. I think that Jeremy Hunt has become entrenched in his

:40:35. > :40:39.position. And your own union, the BMA, are they entrenched too? We've

:40:40. > :40:45.constantly reiterated to Jeremy Hunt that we are happy to negotiate. We

:40:46. > :40:49.would love it if we came back to the table together. We have been

:40:50. > :40:53.offering options to him all week and it's quite clear from his comments

:40:54. > :40:59.that he's absolutely refusing to negotiate or come to any sort of

:41:00. > :41:03.compromise. If the strike action today doesn't change things, what

:41:04. > :41:09.will you consider? I think we've got to keep on fighting. We will

:41:10. > :41:15.continue to come out on strike until such time as Jeremy Hunt sees sense.

:41:16. > :41:22.Would you go on an indefinite walkout? We won't do anything to

:41:23. > :41:26.harm our patients. I think we've just got to consider that option

:41:27. > :41:29.really. Support from somebody beeping their

:41:30. > :41:37.horn there. Thank you for joining us today. Thank you. As you have been

:41:38. > :41:40.hearing this morning, long hours, stressful procedures, unsociable

:41:41. > :41:45.shifts, rotas that are unsustainable. Juniors have

:41:46. > :41:50.explained they are at breaking point, exhausted unable to take on

:41:51. > :41:53.extra hours for less pay. They have walked out on emergency cover for

:41:54. > :41:57.the first time ever. It will finish at 5 this afternoon. The same thing

:41:58. > :42:01.will happen tomorrow. Ahead of this, we asked one A doctor, Sarah

:42:02. > :42:03.Williams, to cord herself as she worked a series of night shifts.

:42:04. > :42:22.Here is her story. I do not know if I could work any

:42:23. > :42:29.harder than I do. I do not know if I could work any more night shifts

:42:30. > :42:34.than I do. And it makes me wonder whether I have it in me to continue

:42:35. > :42:45.in this profession for the rest of my career. Hi, there, my name is Sir

:42:46. > :42:49.video Williams, I'm 34 years old and I'm a junior doctor. I'm just about

:42:50. > :42:52.to start my third night shift in a row. My last day off was ten days

:42:53. > :42:58.ago. I'd better go and get handover and

:42:59. > :43:12.I'll catch up later. It's about 5am, I'm taking my first

:43:13. > :43:16.break of the shift, grabbing a coffee to get me through the last

:43:17. > :43:21.few hours. It's been a fairly steady shift. We are, however, a doctor

:43:22. > :43:26.down this evening which is fairly usual and because of this, I've

:43:27. > :43:32.spent a large part of the shift in miners. The time spent in there has

:43:33. > :43:36.been on my own for the most part alongside some of my nursing

:43:37. > :43:41.colleagues. Hopefully, with three hours to go, it will stay as it is

:43:42. > :43:47.and I'll be able to get out of here on time.

:43:48. > :43:54.It's now about 9. 30am, I've not long been home from work. I'll soon

:43:55. > :44:00.be heading off to get some sleep in preparation for tonight's shift. I

:44:01. > :44:07.am pretty exhausted. I think I've seen everything last night from

:44:08. > :44:16.sporting injuries, drunken injuries, through to very sad tragic cases of

:44:17. > :44:23.women with pregnancy complications. I do not know if I could work any

:44:24. > :44:29.harder than I do. I do not know if I could work any more night shifts

:44:30. > :44:34.than I do. It makes me wonder whether I have it in me to continue

:44:35. > :44:41.in this profession for the rest of my career.

:44:42. > :44:51.With that in mind, I'm going to sign off now and get that much-needed

:44:52. > :44:55.sleep and hopefully we'll feel differently once I've had some rest

:44:56. > :45:00.-- I will feel differently once I've had some rest.

:45:01. > :45:10.Hi, there. It's the fourth final night shift for me tonight. I think

:45:11. > :45:15.it's fair to say, compared to la night, it's fairly typical and

:45:16. > :45:20.fairly busy. The wait time is already at four hours when I came on

:45:21. > :45:26.to shift. Unfortunately, due to patient numbers, that's now at

:45:27. > :45:32.approximately six hours. With wait times such as those, obviously it

:45:33. > :45:36.becomes fairly tense, patients become agitated having to wait so

:45:37. > :45:41.long. We have already had a certain amount of verbal abuse in the

:45:42. > :45:44.department and unfortunately, we have also seen a fairly violent

:45:45. > :45:52.physical assault of a member of staff in the waiting room.

:45:53. > :46:03.I cannot and I it is tough to night. A bit of a struggle. Eight o'clock

:46:04. > :46:11.cannot come around soon enough and stop I have hit the point of

:46:12. > :46:15.exhaustion. Difficult at this time to say anything particularly

:46:16. > :46:22.positive about the job stop as I have said before, I love what I do,

:46:23. > :46:31.and for the most part it is fairly enjoyable. On nights like this,

:46:32. > :46:36.fairly difficult to really see through just the waiting time that

:46:37. > :46:47.is ever-increasing. As hard as you work it does not seem to improve. I

:46:48. > :46:57.guess I should get back down onto the shop floor, see how many more

:46:58. > :47:07.patients there are. Look forward to getting home, finally getting some

:47:08. > :47:11.rest. OK. Thanks for listening. Sarah Williams, with her video

:47:12. > :47:17.diary. Outside St Thomas 's Hospital, we will is the to Andrew

:47:18. > :47:21.Jenkins, Conservative MP, chair on the all-party group on patient

:47:22. > :47:26.safety. Chris James, junior doctor, should have been working in A

:47:27. > :47:40.today. I was scheduled to do eight o'clock to five o'clock, I am

:47:41. > :47:45.striking. Doctor Howard Khan. I am not a consultant, I'm in a any

:47:46. > :47:49.doctor. You will be covering the strike tomorrow. Jeremy Corbyn has

:47:50. > :47:56.just tweeted this, I am with the junior doctors. Andrei Jenkins, you

:47:57. > :48:00.are not, why? It has come down to a pay dispute. 70 meetings between the

:48:01. > :48:07.government and the BMA, three years of discussions, what I would like to

:48:08. > :48:15.know, would you be striking today had you got your Saturday pay

:48:16. > :48:21.demands? For me, to call it a pay dispute... Would you be striking

:48:22. > :48:25.today? It is a fundamental misunderstanding it is about

:48:26. > :48:30.Saturday pay. That is not what makes a stand here and strike. Had you got

:48:31. > :48:34.the Saturday demands? It is not about it. We're having a

:48:35. > :48:39.issue. Not about the Saturday issue. Not about the Saturday

:48:40. > :48:43.premium pay. It is about recruitment and retention, quality and

:48:44. > :48:48.stretching a five-day service which you cannot already staff into seven

:48:49. > :48:53.days. This issue is not about Saturday pay, the issue is the

:48:54. > :48:57.contract will create unsafe working patterns, doctors working unsafe

:48:58. > :49:01.hours. You would not get onto the aircraft if you knew the pilot had

:49:02. > :49:05.been working 100 hours on the truck. Also about the discrimination that

:49:06. > :49:10.the government's owner quality assessment found against females.

:49:11. > :49:18.Yes, absolutely they would have been striking even if the Saturday issue

:49:19. > :49:27.had been resolved. The BMA has had 90% of what they demanded. That is

:49:28. > :49:34.incorrect. I have been elected very recently. 90% has been agreed. You

:49:35. > :49:40.say unsafe hours, I wholeheartedly agree. At the end of the day, I am

:49:41. > :49:46.all about patient safety, after losing my own father. Nathan Baker

:49:47. > :49:52.champion then me for patient safety. The maximum is 72 hours, that is

:49:53. > :49:58.less hours. The 30% pay increase, this comes down to Saturday pay. It

:49:59. > :50:05.is not about patient safety. Think about the 150,000 patients affected

:50:06. > :50:15.by this strike. Why are striking. Why is the Patients' Association

:50:16. > :50:20.supporting us? How do you feel this is proportionate? There is a

:50:21. > :50:27.misunderstanding about what we cover in A I met my clinical director

:50:28. > :50:34.in A There are the same amount of doctors covering today as they would

:50:35. > :50:37.be junior doctors. That is in inconveniences you. I'm incredibly

:50:38. > :50:44.saddened about that. In terms of patient safety. Difficult people

:50:45. > :50:48.could be outrage, we have filled our GMC regulations. You are not

:50:49. > :50:57.outraged by a contract which will create huge patient safety harm. Why

:50:58. > :51:02.is the Patients' Association supporting it? There has been 10,000

:51:03. > :51:12.more doctors since 2010, the government... You were not in

:51:13. > :51:16.government. The government is investing a further ?10 million

:51:17. > :51:21.extra into the NHS. Part of that money going to train 11,000 more

:51:22. > :51:24.doctors. We're not expecting five-day cover to suddenly be

:51:25. > :51:31.expanded to seven-day cover. This comes down to Saturday papers

:51:32. > :51:38.unfortunately, you are going to lose all your doctors. Because we're not

:51:39. > :51:42.paying them enough. What about the nurses? I want to be in

:51:43. > :51:48.anaesthetics, ending up in intensive care. We need training, we are

:51:49. > :51:52.drowning in provision. I want is a world-class health service for

:51:53. > :51:56.world-class doctors. We need to get back on the table and start talking.

:51:57. > :52:01.Jeremy Hunt offer the BMA another meeting yesterday. It is a contract

:52:02. > :52:07.that is unfair. The BMA turned down the meeting. It is not a negotiation

:52:08. > :52:11.if you have imposed stuff. It is a very complex issue. What we deal

:52:12. > :52:16.with every day is complex. You have to calmly look at it. Look at the

:52:17. > :52:21.facts and the issues. We work hard together to tease out those things.

:52:22. > :52:28.If you want a seven-day NHS, work with us. I live and breathe this

:52:29. > :52:33.service. So do I. What is really interesting, this is a micro

:52:34. > :52:37.illustration of Jeremy Hunt, England's Health Secretary and the

:52:38. > :52:44.BMA. You are clearly as far apart as ever. There are patients,

:52:45. > :52:47.colleagues, taxpayers, voters, wondering, how on earth are you two

:52:48. > :52:54.going to get around the table. Explain this? We are where we are

:52:55. > :52:59.now? There is potentially going to be another all-out right tomorrow.

:53:00. > :53:05.Then what should happen? And I make the BMA's position clear. They want

:53:06. > :53:10.Jeremy Hunt to stop this unilateral position. The strike could be called

:53:11. > :53:13.off tomorrow. Dictatorial? What are you doing to the British public? You

:53:14. > :53:21.are holding them to ransom. The public are supporting us. 150,000

:53:22. > :53:24.patients. Your own MPs. They are supporting us. The Patients'

:53:25. > :53:29.Association supporting us, poll after poll shows the public are

:53:30. > :53:36.supporting us. Do you think it is right you get a higher Saturday pay

:53:37. > :53:43.premium? Than other NHS workers? Other public sector workers? I am

:53:44. > :53:48.going to interrupt. That is slightly disingenuous, to state is nothing to

:53:49. > :53:51.do with Saturday pay is not Saturday pay is part of the whole contract

:53:52. > :53:56.issue, not what makes us stand outside it. Sony more issues that we

:53:57. > :54:02.need to sort out first. If you park that to one side, sort out

:54:03. > :54:05.everything else, that is the last thing I want to speak about. Thank

:54:06. > :54:10.you for your time. Illustration of the fact there is a long way to go,

:54:11. > :54:15.it would appear before this dispute can be resolved. Coming up to ten

:54:16. > :54:19.o'clock, we will bring you the latest news and sport in the next

:54:20. > :54:24.minute. Before that, let's talk about Leicester City, one game away

:54:30. > :54:31.West Brom. Leicester need to beat Manchester United on Sunday to lift

:54:32. > :54:37.the trophy. Just beat Manchester United! This from the club at the

:54:38. > :54:42.start of the season given odds of 2000-1 to win the title. We have

:57:07. > :57:18.We have to make a few changes to our line-up. We without Jamie Vardy. I

:57:19. > :57:30.have gone against all tradition, Brownlees scar. We have still lost

:57:31. > :57:34.Big Anne. Just making my way to the stadium, we are going to bring off

:57:35. > :57:38.the roof. It is game on, just before kick-off. About to go in. I am

:57:39. > :58:21.nervous. We have just come out from seeing

:58:22. > :58:24.Leicester City winning 4-0. Are we going to do it? Looking good. 4-0,

:58:25. > :58:51.they said we were frail. The Foxes ether Cockrell is. We're

:00:25. > :00:29.morning. Where we have clear skies overnight, we will have them in the

:00:30. > :00:33.morning. Relatively sunny note. Showers claiming with the wind in

:01:09. > :01:11.from doctors, politicians and those affected by today's strike;

:01:12. > :01:14.the latest action in a dispute with the government over a new

:01:15. > :01:23.contract which the Health Secretary Tell us why you have withdrawn

:01:24. > :01:27.emergency cover today? I have withdrawn because I think the new

:01:28. > :01:32.contract is really unsafe. It's not fair to doctors and it's not fair to

:01:33. > :01:35.my patients. Thank you for talking to us. Much more from the junior

:01:36. > :01:39.doctors here throughout the programme. We'll also hear from

:01:40. > :01:42.patients as well and others affected by today's strike, the latest in a

:01:43. > :01:46.dispute with the Government over that new contract which England's

:02:04. > :02:06.the jury at the inquests into the deaths of 96 football fans

:02:07. > :02:10.at Hillsborough will begin delivering its conclusions

:02:11. > :02:14.in about an hour's time after listening to

:02:17. > :02:31.lives were changed by Seeing all those fans on the ground

:02:32. > :02:38.dying, in trouble, and there was nothing I could do.

:02:39. > :02:45.We did have the push back to the sides and stuff like that, but it

:02:46. > :02:52.wasn't the norm even then, the first one. Once the second one happened,

:02:53. > :03:01.we knew then, just everybody just knew then how bad it was.

:03:02. > :03:04.Good Morning, welcome to the BBC Newsroom,

:03:05. > :03:09.Junior doctors at hospitals across England have begun an all-out

:03:10. > :03:12.strike this morning and for the first time in

:03:13. > :03:15.the history of the NHS they will not provide emergency care.

:03:16. > :03:18.It's the fifth strike in a long running dispute,

:03:19. > :03:20.which began when talks about a new contract

:03:21. > :03:25.The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt says it's a very bleak

:03:26. > :03:34.Those striking say it's absolutely necessary.

:03:35. > :03:42.I find it difficult that people can be outraged. You are not outwageth

:03:43. > :03:46.raged about the contract, the recruitment and retention issues

:03:47. > :03:50.that will cause patients harm. You are going to lose all the doctors.

:03:51. > :03:54.It's come down to a pay dispute. There's been over 70 meetings

:03:55. > :03:57.between the Government and the BMA, over three years of discussions and

:03:58. > :04:02.what I would like to know with the junior doctors and the BMA, would

:04:03. > :04:05.you be striking today had you got your Saturday pay demands?

:04:06. > :04:08.The longest running inquest hearing in British legal history will draw

:04:09. > :04:11.to a close this morning when the jury, considering

:04:12. > :04:14.the Hillsborough disaster, returns its conclusions.

:04:15. > :04:17.A crush during an FA Cup semi final in Sheffield in 1989 resulted

:04:18. > :04:22.Among the questions the nine jurors must answer is whether or not

:04:23. > :04:32.Ben Brown is at the inquest in Warrington.

:04:33. > :04:38.Ben, in all, the jurors had to consider 14 questions. Tell us which

:04:39. > :04:43.areas they cover? Yes, that is right Joanna. 14

:04:44. > :04:47.questions. You can see some of the relatives behind me who're queueing

:04:48. > :04:52.up to get into the coroner's court to hear the answers from the jury,

:04:53. > :04:56.the nine-member jury, to the 14 questions. The jury have been

:04:57. > :05:00.listening to evidence here at this coroner's court for two years, the

:05:01. > :05:06.longest legal proceedings in British legal history. So the 14 questions

:05:07. > :05:09.concern a wide range of issues around the disaster, planning and

:05:10. > :05:12.preparation by the police for the match, the stadium design and

:05:13. > :05:16.safety, the behaviour of the fans, the response to the emergency

:05:17. > :05:19.services, but the critical question and the question really that the

:05:20. > :05:26.relatives in a sense are most interested in is question 6 - were

:05:27. > :05:29.the 96 Liverpool fans at Hillsborough unlawfully killed? For

:05:30. > :05:34.the jury to say that, the coroner's directed that they have to answer a

:05:35. > :05:36.number of questions - was the match commander on the day, David

:05:37. > :05:40.Dukinfield, the Chief Superintendent, did he have a duty

:05:41. > :05:44.of care for the fans, was he in breach of that duty of care for the

:05:45. > :05:48.fans, if there was a breach of duty of care, did that cause the death of

:05:49. > :05:53.the fans and, was that breach of care through gross negligence?

:05:54. > :05:58.Manslaughter by gross negligence? If they say yes to those questions and

:05:59. > :06:04.find a conclusion of unlawful killing, that will be one of the

:06:05. > :06:07.results of the jury here. 14 questions, as you say, we should get

:06:08. > :06:11.the answers from the jury in an hour's time. That is when they'll

:06:12. > :06:12.start to deliver their conclusions after these two years of

:06:13. > :06:15.proceedings. Scottish Power has been fined

:09:12. > :09:15.they've got West Brom to thank after a 1-1 draw with second place

:09:16. > :09:19.Tottenham. It was a match that Spurs really needed to win to keep the

:09:20. > :09:25.pressure on at the top. They went ahead through a Craig Dawson own

:09:26. > :09:30.goal, but West Brom defender went from villain to Leicester City hero,

:09:31. > :09:37.heading in the equaliser that shattered Spurs' dreams.

:09:38. > :09:41.Leicester can claim a first ever title with victory over Manchester

:09:42. > :09:46.United at Old Trafford on Sunday, but they'll have to do it without

:09:47. > :09:48.Jamie Vardy. He accepted an additional one-match suspension for

:09:49. > :09:52.improper conduct after being sent off against West Ham last week.

:09:53. > :09:58.Vardy's been instrumental for Leicester with 22 goals sofar this

:09:59. > :10:02.season. He's been fined ?10,000. The biggest night in Manchester

:10:03. > :10:05.City's European history awaits as they prepare to take on Real Madrid

:10:06. > :10:09.in their Champions League semi-final first leg. City will be without

:10:10. > :10:13.midfielder Yaya Toure who's struggling with a thigh injury.

:10:14. > :10:19.Vincent confirm knee is fit to play. It's set to be a special night.

:10:20. > :10:25.They've never reached this stage of the competition. For Paul Dickov,

:10:26. > :10:31.it's a far cry from their days in the Football League -- Vincent

:10:32. > :10:35.Kompany. We were cleaning our own kit last year because we didn't have

:10:36. > :10:40.the laundry equipment, people wrote us off. Emergency services pleased

:10:41. > :10:47.for a lot of people at the club. The owners have kept it going. I signed

:10:48. > :10:50.in 95-96. For the fans who followed us all the way through that terrible

:10:51. > :10:55.spell when we were struggling, for them to have success now is

:10:56. > :11:01.magnificent. The quarter-final stage of snooker will take place without

:11:02. > :11:07.Ronnie O'Sullivan, beat none a last frame decider by Barry Hawkins. He'd

:11:08. > :11:13.come back from 12-9 down to take the match to a decider. Hawkins advanced

:11:14. > :11:21.13-12 setting up a meeting with Marco Fu.

:11:22. > :11:27.Someone who knows all the ups and downs of football in this country, a

:11:28. > :11:30.staunch villa fan and it's the Hollywood star Tom Hanks who says

:11:31. > :11:37.he's made a few pounds out of the title race. Have a look at this.

:11:38. > :11:42.Aston Villa have been relegated. Are you trying to make me cry on TV like

:11:43. > :11:47.that? That's bad, but do you know what I did at the beginning of this

:11:48. > :11:51.season, I put ?100 on Leicester City winning the season. Maybe I did,

:11:52. > :11:56.maybe I didn't. You should find somebody who decided to put ?25 on

:11:57. > :12:01.their local football club, they are going to be millionaires. Very nice

:12:02. > :12:05.to meet you. Pleasure. Even if he did or didn't, I don't think Tom

:12:06. > :12:12.Hanks needs those pounds! Back to you.

:12:13. > :12:18.Good morning, it's Tuesday morning. For the first time in the history of

:12:19. > :12:21.the NHS, downior doctors are not providing emergency care. We are at

:12:22. > :12:25.St Thomas' Hospital in Central London, not far from the Palace of

:12:26. > :12:30.Westminster. It's just over Westminster bridge over there. We

:12:31. > :12:34.have got junior doctors here who've withdrawn labour from accident and

:12:35. > :12:38.emergency, from the maternity wards and the ones we have spoken to this

:12:39. > :12:44.morning have been adamant that patient safety will not be at risk

:12:45. > :12:46.today. They say consultants, senior doctors covering behind them will

:12:47. > :12:55.make sure of that, and that they have the support of the consultants.

:12:56. > :13:00.That is the picture here in one hospital in England. Let us go to

:13:01. > :13:05.Ipswich Hospital. We are outside the A department. I

:13:06. > :13:08.can't imagine a year ago that anyone, least of all hospital

:13:09. > :13:13.bosses, could have imagined it would come to this, that junior doctors

:13:14. > :13:16.would walk out of accident and emergency, intensive care, maternity

:13:17. > :13:20.units and even crash and resuscitation teams. The doctors

:13:21. > :13:24.union's said that hospitals have had six weeks to prepare for this, but

:13:25. > :13:29.how exactly are hospitals coping? With me is Nick Hulme, the Chief

:13:30. > :13:34.Executive at Ipswich. Nick, are you worried about anything? You say

:13:35. > :13:37.you've got senior staff on board to cover things but some consultants

:13:38. > :13:42.perhaps may not have taken blood in a while, filled out X-ray forms, how

:13:43. > :13:46.are you coping with that? When we knew this strike was going to

:13:47. > :13:51.happen, we looked at contingencies. We had to talk to consultants to

:13:52. > :13:57.ensure they felt confident and comfortable with what we were asking

:13:58. > :13:59.them to do, so we have provided additional training, somecologith

:14:00. > :14:03.consultants are Rusty on life supports, so we have provided

:14:04. > :14:06.training. Advanced life support, should people be worried about that

:14:07. > :14:10.if consultants are Rusty on that? Not at all, it's a refresher course,

:14:11. > :14:13.they were confident, they just wanted additional support in terms

:14:14. > :14:16.of making sure they were used the using the most up-to-date equipment

:14:17. > :14:19.and what have you. In terms of taking blood and X-rays, we have

:14:20. > :14:22.additional support staff around today who can support them in that.

:14:23. > :14:26.So you are absolutely right, they haven't worked on the front line for

:14:27. > :14:30.some time, so we have had to provide that additional training to make

:14:31. > :14:33.sure they can do that. 122 junior doctors could have gone on strike

:14:34. > :14:38.today from your hospital. How many have? 99 have gone out on strike, so

:14:39. > :14:42.23 have come in which is the highest number we have seen on any strike

:14:43. > :14:46.day so far. Not surprising because some doctors feel as though that

:14:47. > :14:49.step of the all-out strike for emergency cover is just too far for

:14:50. > :14:53.their consciences and they have come in to support us today.

:14:54. > :14:56.Thank you very much. Perhaps some rift there between the junior

:14:57. > :15:01.doctors developing. Across the road from here is the picket line and

:15:02. > :15:07.plenty of others across the country. Let's join my colleague Phil Macy at

:15:08. > :15:10.Warwick Hospital now. You can see the picket line behind

:15:11. > :15:15.me there. That's grown throughout the morning. There was about a dozen

:15:16. > :15:18.people there when they came out. 30 or 40 people have joined the picket

:15:19. > :15:24.line here. This is a typical District General Hospital. The

:15:25. > :15:27.impact here is on, not just the A department but maternity care, as

:15:28. > :15:31.well as the intensive care units. What the hospital's said is that

:15:32. > :15:37.it's got consultants in, as is the case in Ipswich and everywhere else,

:15:38. > :15:41.the cover the gaps on the rota and to ensure patient safety. They have

:15:42. > :15:45.had to make a lot of cancellations despite that, 22 clinics cancelled

:15:46. > :15:49.today and tomorrow, 29 elective operations that will have an impact

:15:50. > :15:53.on hundreds of people and a knock-on effect on those who'll be pushed

:15:54. > :15:58.further back whilst awaiting those operations. Certainly today it

:15:59. > :16:03.appears there is still a great deal of support out here. People beeping

:16:04. > :16:06.horns, you heard one there, but nobody criticising them. The key

:16:07. > :16:08.thing is they want to maintain that public support if the strike is to

:16:09. > :16:17.continue. strength Bankia on Westminster

:16:18. > :16:23.Bridge, Norman Smith, our political Guru is here. -- back here on

:16:24. > :16:28.Westminster Bridge. The political reaction this morning? Pretty

:16:29. > :16:33.uncompromising, from Jeremy Hunt and Downing Street. Downing Street

:16:34. > :16:40.saying the withdrawal of emergency services is irresponsible. Doctors

:16:41. > :16:46.have a 13.5% pay rise, what are they striking about? Jeremy Hunt getting

:16:47. > :16:52.backing, he says he wants to remain Health Secretary for several more

:16:53. > :16:57.years. He says he has a big job to do. All of that translated, they

:16:58. > :17:02.have drawn a line in the sand. Not for backing down, giving ground,

:17:03. > :17:07.determined to see it through. I think the game plan is two fold.

:17:08. > :17:11.They hope public support may begin to fray for the GPs and doctors.

:17:12. > :17:17.They hope the BMA national leadership will put the squeeze on

:17:18. > :17:21.the Junior Doctors Committee of the BMA, who the gunmen believe are much

:17:22. > :17:28.more hardline than the national membership. They hope that may break

:17:29. > :17:33.the dispute. Let's find out more about public support, whether or not

:17:34. > :17:38.it is fraying? Members of the public, welcome to the programme.

:17:39. > :17:44.Two junior doctors on strike. I know you will all introduce yourselves.

:17:45. > :17:51.Are you supporting the escalation of the strike? I support the junior

:17:52. > :17:56.doctors, but I'm struggling with the morals around the strikes today. I

:17:57. > :18:05.am anti-strike, but supporting the doctors. I'm in the same position, I

:18:06. > :18:14.support the doctors, everything they are doing, at same time strikes in

:18:15. > :18:23.the NHS, in A, slightly worrying. How would you describe it? I'm

:18:24. > :18:27.impatient, Lucy, fully support the doctors' strike. There has been an

:18:28. > :18:31.element of scaremongering from the government, to say patients will

:18:32. > :18:37.suffer. Actually patients will suffer in the long-term if Jeremy

:18:38. > :18:44.Hunt does not back down. The beeping of the horns would suggest quite a

:18:45. > :18:47.lot of motorists right now on the road to Westminster Bridge

:18:48. > :18:52.supporting the junior doctors. I am Phil Taylor, I am at the stage, or

:18:53. > :18:56.my parents are at the stage of life where they have extended days in

:18:57. > :19:09.hospital. I am not supportive of the strike. I support the medical

:19:10. > :19:15.service. Not the strike. I'm a teacher, much like teachers, they

:19:16. > :19:21.are members of society, who I fully support. Hard to talk over the sound

:19:22. > :19:26.of the horns. Ie Still supporting the junior doctors? I'm fully in

:19:27. > :19:32.support of the junior doctors. I'm a student nurse, I wholeheartedly

:19:33. > :19:35.support the junior doctors. They are fighting for each and every one of

:19:36. > :19:41.us in this country. Fighting for their colleagues, the only people

:19:42. > :19:44.risking patient safety are the Conservative government. With a

:19:45. > :19:50.chronic underfunding, and cuts to the NHS. More operations cancelled

:19:51. > :19:54.by underfunding and then there has been today. Each and every one of us

:19:55. > :19:59.as to get behind junior doctors, supporting them before we leave the

:20:00. > :20:03.NHS forever. I'm a law student from North Yorkshire, I'm completely

:20:04. > :20:08.against strikes, childish and pathetic. They should get back to

:20:09. > :20:12.providing services, instead of cancelling 10,000 appointments,

:20:13. > :20:17.13,000 operations. Absolute disgrace for the taxpayer in this country

:20:18. > :20:21.relying on the appointments every day, that having cancelled. They

:20:22. > :20:27.went get another appointment for six months. We had two striking junior

:20:28. > :20:33.doctors. Do you want to go back to work right now? We are at work, we

:20:34. > :20:38.are doing a juicy, for filling an important duty, protecting all of

:20:39. > :20:42.the patients in the NHS in the future. I so understand why people

:20:43. > :20:48.are frightened today. About the strike. My mum is in hospital on one

:20:49. > :20:56.of the strike days, I trust my colleagues to look after her. What I

:20:57. > :20:59.would say, I am most afraid of, as a patient, and a family member, my

:21:00. > :21:04.parents had been hospital, they are also elderly, they rely on the NHS,

:21:05. > :21:10.what is going to happen to the NHS if this toxic contract is imposed on

:21:11. > :21:13.all doctors from this August? That is my biggest worry, and that is

:21:14. > :21:19.what everybody needs to be frightened. The Health Secretary,

:21:20. > :21:23.Jeremy Hunt, he seems the taking no notice of what you are doing. What

:21:24. > :21:28.you are doing, according to the government, is not going to work?

:21:29. > :21:32.Jeremy Hunt needs to take a step back, listen to the voices of the

:21:33. > :21:40.public. There is no sign he is doing that. I think he will have to

:21:41. > :21:45.listen. He's the Secretary of State, his position is to listen to the

:21:46. > :21:48.public, to make sure we have a health service that is able to

:21:49. > :21:53.support the public. He will have to listen to us. I do not believe

:21:54. > :21:59.Jeremy Hunt truly once the destruction of the NHS. He needs to

:22:00. > :22:05.work with us. Does this new contract destroy the NHS? This contract will

:22:06. > :22:13.be the steps to the destruction the NHS. Let's hear a conversation,

:22:14. > :22:18.gather in? I dating Jeremy Hunt is against the NHS whatsoever. The

:22:19. > :22:23.public are on the junior doctors side, for now. When they realise the

:22:24. > :22:30.dispute is all about money, nothing to do with patient safety. Patient

:22:31. > :22:34.safety. I am not going to suffer a pay cut under the contract, why am I

:22:35. > :22:39.on strike? The maximum working hours, the current contract 91

:22:40. > :22:47.hours, now it is 72 hours. Talking about patient safety, your

:22:48. > :22:52.counterparts... Can I talk about the 72 hours. As things stand, on a

:22:53. > :22:58.yearly basis our trust how to make sure we work the maximum amount of

:22:59. > :23:05.hours. The government in this contract will remove those safety

:23:06. > :23:09.guidance is, that keep us safe, but also keep patients say. You are

:23:10. > :23:17.saying there's going to be a 72 hour cap and stop how does anyone know

:23:18. > :23:22.that? It is a very technical point. What about the junior doctor who

:23:23. > :23:26.works many hours? It can be refined, you are saying you don't agree, and

:23:27. > :23:31.want to revise every detail before going ahead. I would like to go back

:23:32. > :23:37.to the seven-day thing. It has been consistently misrepresented by the

:23:38. > :23:42.junior doctors. Saying they're providing a seven day emergency

:23:43. > :23:48.service. In a five-year forward view, in the vision of the NHS, how

:23:49. > :23:56.it can continue, not a political vision. That review said let us

:23:57. > :24:06.provide seven days a week services, where they are clinically required.

:24:07. > :24:13.That is what it says on the five day forward, get rid of doctors,

:24:14. > :24:21.privatise it. It is true, read it. How can you provide a seven-day

:24:22. > :24:27.service, chronically underfunded. Can I just say, people say we don't

:24:28. > :24:33.have a 24-7 NHS, we have it. When it really matters. I personally have

:24:34. > :24:38.had to go into hospital for life or death situations. I have called

:24:39. > :24:43.nurses, called the emergency contact numbers I have, I have as quickly as

:24:44. > :24:51.humanly possible we have a 24-7 NHS when it matters. That is how it

:24:52. > :24:56.should be. They don't think we should be fed a fallacy that we

:24:57. > :25:00.don't already have it. I was gay to say my experience of a seven-day

:25:01. > :25:05.service not quite as good as that. My mother-in-law died of cancer two

:25:06. > :25:10.years ago through a series of errors, mainly waiting far too long

:25:11. > :25:13.to be diagnosed. When she did get the diagnosis, the surgery did not

:25:14. > :25:19.go to plan as we have been told. The after-care was appalling. When she

:25:20. > :25:26.fell ill on the weekend, the weekend shifts told me try not to bring him

:25:27. > :25:30.in on a Saturday, week were the graveyard shift. They care from

:25:31. > :25:35.registrars and doctors was not at the same level as during the week.

:25:36. > :25:40.No proper handovers, the briefing is not done properly. In a day and age

:25:41. > :25:45.when we need seven-day care, nobody is disputing you should be paid to

:25:46. > :25:52.do that. I'm a cancer specialist, I'm a junior doctor, I have been for

:25:53. > :25:57.ten years. I completely understand the concerns people have about

:25:58. > :26:01.weekend care, and how we can go about improving the function of the

:26:02. > :26:09.NHS. We need more doctors to do that. More doctors on shift, every

:26:10. > :26:12.shift, to provide the care, not just from an elected point of view. The

:26:13. > :26:18.government has not told us what it means by seven-day service. We're

:26:19. > :26:22.not talking about the Simon Stephens five-year forward view. We are

:26:23. > :26:28.talking about the government manifesto of seven-day services.

:26:29. > :26:32.Almost all junior doctors I speak to say this is not about Saturday pay.

:26:33. > :26:38.The government offering extra pay after 5pm on a Saturday. The BMA

:26:39. > :26:43.wants everybody who works all day Saturday to be paid 50% above the

:26:44. > :26:49.basic rate. It is disingenuous to say it is not partly about Saturday

:26:50. > :26:53.pay? It is not about pay, my pay will not change under this contract.

:26:54. > :26:58.I would not be going to these lengths about eight. I know that is

:26:59. > :27:02.the case for many doctors. It is true, actually there are a

:27:03. > :27:06.significant proportion of doctors that will suffer a pay cut. Not a

:27:07. > :27:12.single person will be getting more pay from this contract was they will

:27:13. > :27:15.if they were regular weekends? There will be an increasing number of

:27:16. > :27:21.shifts on the weekend. No extra doctors to fill those shifts. That

:27:22. > :27:25.is the issue? We are short of doctors, we cannot fill our shifts

:27:26. > :27:29.as it is. They want to introduce more shifts without any new doctors.

:27:30. > :27:36.That means more patients per doctor. That is not safe. You will be

:27:37. > :27:55.stretched to Finlay? There are 6000 rated vacancies -- rota vacancies.

:27:56. > :28:02.Your rotas will not change by August? Doctors going, they do extra

:28:03. > :28:08.work because they feel they have two. That will increase. We cannot

:28:09. > :28:11.do that, we're human, it will break doctors, they will leave, we will

:28:12. > :28:19.lose more and more doctors from the NHS. It will become an impossible

:28:20. > :28:24.situation. Would you consider resigning? I would if I cannot

:28:25. > :28:29.provide safe care if the contract goes through. I will not be party

:28:30. > :28:33.the process endangering patients. The contract will be sent out in

:28:34. > :28:40.May, I understand. Some of them will be sent out in May. If yours arrives

:28:41. > :28:47.in your inbox? The contracts are due to be imposed from all this. They

:28:48. > :28:51.have to be sent up before that. They should not be sending a contract

:28:52. > :28:56.before August. If that is happening, you have to question who is

:28:57. > :29:01.authorising that process. What other option, if you are being childish,

:29:02. > :29:06.having a picket line. Jeremy Hunt is being incredibly childish, he could

:29:07. > :29:13.have avoided this. He negotiated with the BMA. The only issue left is

:29:14. > :29:20.the Saturday issue. It is not the only one. That is indicating it is

:29:21. > :29:27.about pay. I'm going to read messages from people watching.

:29:28. > :29:31.Caroline, member of the public, I'm entirely behind the junior doctors'

:29:32. > :29:34.strike. The governors have pushed the junior doctors to this point in

:29:35. > :29:40.the hope the public will withdraw the support as it impacts on them.

:29:41. > :29:46.E-mail from Rupert, the root cause of the crisis is due to the funding

:29:47. > :29:50.in the NHS. Paul, I'm a specialist nursing A covering gaps left by

:29:51. > :29:56.striking doctors today. Our pay has been frozen for five years. Clare

:29:57. > :30:00.has been nursing for 42 years, junior doctors have my full support.

:30:01. > :30:05.Thank you very much for coming on the programme. Thank you. Coming up

:30:06. > :30:13.to you 10:30 a.m.. Time for the news. Junior doctors have walked out

:30:14. > :30:17.in hospitals across England this morning. For the first time it is an

:30:18. > :30:28.all-out strike, not providing emergency care. It is the fifth

:30:29. > :30:33.strike in a long rang dispute when talks broke down in 2014. Jeremy

:30:34. > :30:36.Hunt said those of the top of the union are refusing to come from

:30:37. > :31:22.eyes. They striking said they had no other option.

:31:23. > :31:26.two years ago. A crush during an FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield in 1989

:31:27. > :31:30.resulted in the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans. Among the questions

:33:58. > :34:03.their members of their families were killed unlawfully. 96 died as a

:34:04. > :34:06.result of a crush on the terraces on the FA Cup semi-final between

:34:07. > :34:11.Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough. After hearing two

:34:12. > :34:15.years of evidence, the jury on the fresh inquests will deliver its

:34:16. > :34:18.conclusions. They've been asked to consider 14 questions, including

:34:19. > :34:23.whether the victims were unlawfully killed, whether opportunities to

:34:24. > :34:29.save lives on that day were lost, whether police errors or emissions

:34:30. > :34:33.or fans' behaviour caused or contributed to the dangerous

:34:34. > :34:36.situation at the match. The orange Nat verdicts were quashed in 1991.

:34:37. > :34:38.We are about to hear the stories of two people whose lives were changed

:34:39. > :35:09.by what happened that day. My name is Becky, I lost my mum at

:35:10. > :35:13.Hillsborough on 15th April, 1989. I'm Gillian Edwards. I was there

:35:14. > :35:23.that day, ended up seriously injured but survived. My mum's over there in

:35:24. > :35:24.that corner, the right hand side. Right at the back, right in the

:35:25. > :35:38.corner of the goal. The Football League Championship

:35:39. > :35:43.trophy to his own Liverpool captain, Graeme Graeme Souness. I've always

:35:44. > :35:47.followed Liverpool. As a kid I always wanted to come here and my

:35:48. > :35:53.dad used to bring me when I was younger.

:35:54. > :36:01.My mum was from Denmark and she always supported Liverpool because

:36:02. > :36:05.in Denmark you could only see two teams on Danish telly, Leeds United

:36:06. > :36:13.or Liverpool, and she supported Liverpool because of The Beatles.

:36:14. > :36:21.Smefs a mad, mad Beatles fan. When she came to England, she would

:36:22. > :36:24.always watch Liverpool on the tely. Liverpool champions deservedly so.

:36:25. > :36:29.She got more and more into it. Then we decided to come to the matches in

:36:30. > :36:35.85. It was something else wasn't it, coming up the steps and walking out?

:36:36. > :36:40.Standing with all your mates. Yes. Seeing the same people week in week

:36:41. > :36:46.out all standing round having jokes and things. A sing-along. Those are

:36:47. > :37:05.the days I remember. I remember in March-April, 1989, the

:37:06. > :37:10.build-up to the game at Hillsborough and I was a season ticket holder as

:37:11. > :37:13.well, my mum and brother, they both qualified to get tickets but

:37:14. > :37:20.unfortunately I didn't because I'd been to one of the FA Cup games

:37:21. > :37:26.beforehand so that disqualified me. I was absolutely gutted and I'll

:37:27. > :37:30.never ever forget my mum begging me on the Friday night to come on the

:37:31. > :37:36.train because she was certain someone would have a spare.

:37:37. > :37:41.But the only reason I didn't go is because it was my friend's birthday

:37:42. > :37:46.that night and we were all going out so I decided that I would go out and

:37:47. > :37:54.give it a miss, go clubbing with them instead. That's probably what

:37:55. > :38:07.saved my life actually. Yeah. Are you all right? Yes. I turned on the

:38:08. > :38:13.telly for Grand thes stand, quarter to three, getting ready for any news

:38:14. > :38:19.coming from Hillsborough -- Grandstand. Desmond Lyneham said, we

:38:20. > :38:23.are going to Hillsborough and, in those days, they would show a

:38:24. > :38:27.picture of the stadium and have commentary. That is what I was

:38:28. > :38:34.expecting. Instead they went to a live shot and I saw all these people

:38:35. > :38:39.walking on the pitch. I couldn't understand what was happening. It

:38:40. > :38:49.looked really surreal to me. It was shortly after that that they said

:38:50. > :38:53.five people had died and it was about... The death toll from then

:38:54. > :38:58.just rose and rose and rose. Well, I mean, as soon as I saw this, I was

:38:59. > :39:02.obviously very worried about my mum, brother and friends, but especially

:39:03. > :39:09.my mum. I just had this feeling about my mum all the time, you know.

:39:10. > :39:13.I was so concerned about her and about half three, quarter to four, I

:39:14. > :39:26.just had this feeling in my stomach that she'd gone. I was certain after

:39:27. > :39:31.that that she was dead. It wasn't confirmed to me until 4 o'clock the

:39:32. > :39:42.next morning that she had. I found out about 6 o'clock that night that

:39:43. > :39:53.my brother was safe. It really got to me seeing all those fans on the

:39:54. > :39:57.ground dying in trouble. There was nothing I could do, nothing I could

:39:58. > :40:03.do at all. There I was sitting in the safety and comfort of home and

:40:04. > :40:07.those guilty feelings for that will never leave me. Nothing to feel

:40:08. > :40:21.guilty for. So er, what do you remember of the

:40:22. > :40:30.morning? How did you get ready and how did you go to Hillsborough?

:40:31. > :40:35.I remember just getting up and ironing my jeans and everything as

:40:36. > :40:39.usual and we got to Sheffield about half eleven, something like that.

:40:40. > :40:49.And then, just basically thought we were going to have a good day out.

:40:50. > :40:58.Do you remember getting outside the stadium? I remember outside, I got

:40:59. > :41:02.to a point where I was scared. Even though I can't actually remember

:41:03. > :41:11.getting in, I remember being on the terraces and standing there in

:41:12. > :41:18.Pen-3. I didn't feel scared at that time, you know. I just knew it was

:41:19. > :41:22.packed but it was a semi-final, you know. Everything looked normal at

:41:23. > :41:26.that stage from there from the footage that I've seen with the

:41:27. > :41:30.beach ball and I can see my mum there cheering the team and that on

:41:31. > :41:45.the footage. Everything just seemed normal. And then the actual crush -

:41:46. > :41:50.I remember first of all being pushed forward but you had that, you know,

:41:51. > :41:55.you're used to the movements of the crowd aren't you, and we did have

:41:56. > :42:03.the push back and to the sides and stuff like that, but it wasn't the

:42:04. > :42:08.norm even then, the first one. Once the second one happened, everybody

:42:09. > :42:13.just knew then just how bad something was. It seemed to be

:42:14. > :42:22.Then, after the silence came the Then, after the silence came the

:42:23. > :42:30.screaming and the shouting and the, you know, get us out of here and

:42:31. > :42:49.help get us out and I always remember just having... We were that

:42:50. > :43:00.packed in, someone on my shoulder. Sorry. Sorry. I'm all right now.

:43:01. > :43:04.Then a man's voice just, as you said, something constantly with you

:43:05. > :43:11.isn't it, you know, "get the girls out, there's girls here". He was

:43:12. > :43:15.panicking that much, now I'm older and it's years later and things like

:43:16. > :43:19.that, I think he was panicking for himself maybe and he was maybe

:43:20. > :43:24.ashamed to be a man shouting help, so he was saying "there's girls,

:43:25. > :43:34.help us there's girls here", you know. I remember just looking at the

:43:35. > :43:36.blue sky and... I remember because I just couldn't do anything, I

:43:37. > :43:44.couldn't breathe. I remember just thinking, this is it, God, I'm...

:43:45. > :43:52.God help me, they were my last words, got help me, this is it, I'm

:43:53. > :43:56.going. But I also, from being so scared, and frightened, once I'd

:43:57. > :44:05.give up and thought this is it, I just wasn't scared any more.

:44:06. > :44:25.Then the next thing I remember after that, was waking up but I couldn't

:44:26. > :44:40.see a thing. Everything was just black.

:44:41. > :44:56.I remember trying to speak and I couldn't talk. Even though I could

:44:57. > :45:03.hear them talking to me. What were the permanent injuries you were left

:45:04. > :45:09.with? High poxic brain injury. It's left me with things like, I used to

:45:10. > :45:14.be really sporty. I can't catch a ball now. I've got no coordination.

:45:15. > :45:20.I can't judge the distance of things. The list can go on and on.

:45:21. > :45:28.But I'm here, aren't I, and I've gone on to have the three kids and

:45:29. > :45:33.that, so... The Gillian of that day died, but, you know, I'm another one

:45:34. > :45:42.here in its place isn't it? That's what I always say. Massive, massive

:45:43. > :45:47.part of me died that day and it's never coming back, but, like you

:45:48. > :45:57.say, it changes you. It changes you unrecognisably I think. In many

:45:58. > :46:04.ways. There is no going back after something like that to how you were.

:46:05. > :46:10.How can they be. To think about what you were going through at home and

:46:11. > :46:15.to think of your brother, 13-year-old kid. My mum's friend

:46:16. > :46:23.woke me up and said, a police car's outside and you just know don't you.

:46:24. > :46:33.And so I went down and invited him in. He asked me if I was my mum's

:46:34. > :46:42.daughter and I said yes. And he said to me that my mum had been fatally

:46:43. > :46:51.injured at the disaster. I was only 17 and I said to him, the word

:46:52. > :46:58.fatally never really registered, I just heard injured and I said to him

:46:59. > :47:05."is she still alive"? He said "no". My world was just in total pieces

:47:06. > :47:29.after that. Nothing has ever rocked me like that has.

:47:30. > :47:39.And then my brother came back. From Sheffield. With some social workers

:47:40. > :47:56.because our mum was our only parent. He came back with two social

:47:57. > :48:00.workers. As soon as he got out of the car, I just, just looking at

:48:01. > :48:08.him, I just knew he was a different person. I just knew it.

:48:09. > :48:18.What happened after that? Your mum being a single parent. It was quite

:48:19. > :48:24.a full on three days. Disaster on the Saturday, I was informed of my

:48:25. > :48:30.mum's death, and Marion's death on Sunday. On Monday I tried to go to

:48:31. > :48:36.school for some normality, to be in touch with my mates. I knew they

:48:37. > :48:40.would be worried. When I came back from school, the social worker was

:48:41. > :48:55.sitting there, saying you are awarded the court. In the care of

:48:56. > :49:05.social services. -- a ward. It was just absolutely heartbreaking. It is

:49:06. > :49:13.heartbreaking to listen to. Living through it

:49:14. > :49:26.Mustadeem hard. How long were you in hospital? Quite a while. Getting

:49:27. > :49:30.really depressed, withdrawing in the unit. -- must have been hard.

:49:31. > :49:36.Basically picking a knife and fork up again. I went back to a baby

:49:37. > :49:45.state. From being this 18-year-old, starting life, great job, loved my

:49:46. > :49:53.job. Love the people I worked with. It was a completely different life.

:49:54. > :49:54.To have to go to your mother giving you a bath again, it sounds selfish,

:49:55. > :50:27.saying this to you... I think this will be our lives

:50:28. > :50:32.forever, constantly affected by this. What do you see for the

:50:33. > :50:38.future? To keep on being involved with the Hillsborough Justice

:50:39. > :50:44.Campaign. If it had not been for them but they have been my lifeline.

:50:45. > :51:25.It helps to break down the isolation you feel.

:51:26. > :51:34.Thank you to Julie, who has tweeted to say, those interviews on

:51:35. > :51:41.Hillsborough are so moving. Let's talk to Ben Brown, at the inquest in

:51:42. > :51:50.Warrington. What are we expecting in about ten minutes or so? In the last

:51:51. > :51:53.two or three hours, relatives of the 96 have been queueing up and going

:51:54. > :52:00.into the Warrington coroner 's court behind me. They are waiting to hear

:52:01. > :52:03.the jury's inclusions. They have been listening for two years, the

:52:04. > :52:09.longest legal proceeding in British history. They have listened to hours

:52:10. > :52:15.of documents, hundreds of witnesses. It comes down to the answers the

:52:16. > :52:20.questions they will get from the coroner. We will hear those answers

:52:21. > :52:25.at 11 o'clock. It was a whole range of issues surrounding the disaster,

:52:26. > :52:30.the match planning by the police, the stadium, the safety, the

:52:31. > :52:36.behaviour of the fans, the response of the emergency services. Pivotal

:52:37. > :52:42.is question six, were the 96 fans who died that day 27 years ago

:52:43. > :52:47.unlawfully killed? To reach that decision, the jury will have to

:52:48. > :52:51.answer a whole set of questions, did the match commander of the day,

:52:52. > :52:59.David Dukinfield have a duty of care to the fans? Was Ian breach of their

:53:00. > :53:05.duty of care? If he was, did that cause the death of the fans, through

:53:06. > :53:12.gross negligence? That is the key question of the 14 questions, number

:53:13. > :53:18.six. Remind us why the original inquest was quashed all those years

:53:19. > :53:25.ago? The original inquest verdict, back in 1991, accidental death. We

:53:26. > :53:33.have that quashed by the High Court, after the Hillsborough Independent

:53:34. > :53:38.Panel report in 2012. Raising very serious misgivings about the

:53:39. > :53:40.response of the police, the whole handling from the police and

:53:41. > :53:48.emergency services, surrounding the disaster. After that inquest, that

:53:49. > :53:52.is how we have got to that stage, for the families of the 96 victims

:53:53. > :53:57.it has been a long wait for answers, 27 years really. The next ten

:53:58. > :54:04.minutes, they hope they will start to get some of those answers.

:54:05. > :54:13.Of course, as you would expect, full coverage of the conclusions of the

:54:14. > :54:19.inquest on BBC News at 11 o'clock. Here at Saint Thomas 's Hospital, we

:54:20. > :54:25.have spent the morning alongside striking junior doctors, patients,

:54:26. > :54:28.voters, politicians. You can see the strike is pretty well supported at

:54:29. > :54:33.this stage. Junior doctors will do the same tomorrow, withdrawing

:54:34. > :54:38.emergency care for the second day, unprecedented in the history of the

:54:39. > :54:43.NHS. Let's all to Sarah, one of those striking today. What

:54:44. > :54:47.adjectives would you use to describe how you feel about what you were

:54:48. > :54:51.doing today? And emotional, that we have been brought to this point.

:54:52. > :54:59.Really disappointed the gamut is not listening to us, frustrated they are

:55:00. > :55:02.not listening. Hopeful that the public can see this because we are

:55:03. > :55:09.genuinely concerned about patient safety. You say hopeful, do you fear

:55:10. > :55:13.that people might start to change their mind when it comes to

:55:14. > :55:20.supporting you? I hope not. We are genuinely here. As doctors, you

:55:21. > :55:24.become a doctor to help patients, help people. The only thing that

:55:25. > :55:31.would make a small gap is concerned about patient safety. What next, if

:55:32. > :55:35.this does not work? We will have a lot of serious discussions amongst

:55:36. > :55:43.ourselves, we will be taking this forward. At this point, indefinite

:55:44. > :55:48.walk-out? Would you consider resigning? It would not be ethical

:55:49. > :55:52.for us to continue, to work on a contract, where we are genuinely

:55:53. > :55:57.concerned. It was a man supporting you, in case there is any doubt. The

:55:58. > :56:03.public support has been amazing. Really incredible. Surveys showing

:56:04. > :56:09.people are still with us. For that, really grateful. This is for them,

:56:10. > :56:16.at the end of the day. What is your name? Geno. Why a supporting the

:56:17. > :56:22.doctors? Because they need them, all the time. The feel they may be going

:56:23. > :56:27.somewhere? Yes, we need them. Let's help them and support them. How have

:56:28. > :56:35.they supported you? I have needed them all my life. That is the only

:56:36. > :56:38.way I will survive. If this kind of strike action, withdrawal and

:56:39. > :56:43.emergency cover continues, will you continue to support them? Yes, all

:56:44. > :56:53.the way. What is your message to the Health Secretary? Pay them more. I'm

:56:54. > :57:01.not sure there is that much money. Well... It is clear, thank you.

:57:02. > :57:08.Sarah, sorry, did not hear what you said, would you consider resigning?

:57:09. > :57:13.Indefinite walk-out? The indefinite walk-out, certainly it has to be

:57:14. > :57:21.considered. It is not ethical to work on a contract that they are

:57:22. > :57:24.enforcing. As long as we continue to have the support of our consultants,

:57:25. > :57:35.it would be safer patients to Bulger. Hello. Sarah, thank you. Are

:57:36. > :57:40.you due to be working? I was. Why have you withdrawn emergency cover?

:57:41. > :57:44.I'm here to show support with all my junior doctor colleagues. This show

:57:45. > :57:50.our displeasure with the contract currently being imposed upon us. It

:57:51. > :57:56.is a huge question, briefly, what is wrong with the contract? As people

:57:57. > :58:01.have been saying so far this morning, it is not safe, not fair,

:58:02. > :58:08.and we are concerned about the future of the NHS, if this contract

:58:09. > :58:14.goes ahead. Why is it not fair? It is not fair on patients, not fair on

:58:15. > :58:18.doctors. Recently in the news, articles about how he disadvantages

:58:19. > :58:24.women and doctors who want to try and work part-time. Thank you very

:58:25. > :58:28.much. Do stay with BBC news for full coverage of the conclusions of the

:58:29. > :58:31.inquest on Hillsborough. Coming up in the next few minutes.
