Thousands of junior doctors in England take part in their first | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The 24-hour strike began this morning. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Doctors oppose the government's latest plans for weekend working. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
We are here to promote patient safety. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
We do not want to enter a contract that will make us tired. | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
One in ten planned operations have been cancelled. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Ministers say the strike is unnecessary. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
The right thing to do is not to strike, but actually sit | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
round the table, talk to the government about how | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
We'll be looking at the deal on offer and the doctors' | :00:39. | :00:44. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Junior doctors across England are in the middle of a strike. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
The first time they have taken such action in 40 years. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Emergency care should not be affected but about one in ten | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
planned operations and procedures are believed to have been postponed. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
The 24-hour strike follows a break down in talks with the government | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
about how best to provide consistent, seven-day care | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
Support from drivers buoyed up this hospital picket line in Harrogate. | :02:06. | :02:25. | |
It was the same in Exeter where doctors were protesting. And they | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
gathered at a hospital within sight of Westminster as the strike action | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
by junior doctors across England unfolded. What do you remember of | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
yesterday? Routine but not emergency care was affected, consultants like | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
this one ready to cover where needed for their striking colleagues. Every | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
patient who comes into hospital needs drugs prescribed, the sort of | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
job a junior doctor would do. But some members of the public made | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
plain their anger at the doctor 's actions. You swore a Hippocratic | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
oath to protect people's lives. Not to split your dummy out and come out | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
here. Some planned operations did not happen. Michelle sympathises | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
with the doctors but she is upset that, after preparing to go into | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
hospital, last night she got a call saying it been postponed. Really | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
upset over it. Waited quite a while for my hysterectomy to be approved, | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
gone through quite a few months of hell with injections and hormones | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
and all the rest of it. hell with injections and hormones | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Secretary and the doctors union meanwhile continued their verbal | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
exchanges. In the end, this is a completely unnecessary dispute. We | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
have some disagreements with the BMA overpay, but we all want to promise | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
all patients who use the NHS the promise of the same high-quality | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
care every day of the week. The government wants to introduce a | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
contract that they say makes it easier to roster doctors around the | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
clock. Well, I guess it would because they would remove a lot of | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
the protections against overwork that are being put into contracts | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
over the last 20 years or so and which, in that way, have helped | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
protect patient safety. One hospital, Sandwell in the West | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Midlands, declared a major incident because of high patient numbers and | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
said striking doctors should return to work. The union said that was in | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
breach of a national agreement and the trust later said things were | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
under control and dropped its request. The 24-hour action began | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
today covers routine and nonemergency care. It will be | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
extended to 48 hours on January 26. The one NHS chiefs are concerned | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
about, assuming there is no breakthrough in talks, if a planned | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
all-out strike on February the tetanus, covering all care including | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
emergencies. -- the 10th. It may not come to that. Talks of ACAS are set | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
to continue. Right now, there are a few signs of movement towards a | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
lasting settlement of the doctors contract row. | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
So, as we've heard, the argument is over how best to make sure that | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
a patient admitted to hospital at the weekend gets just as good | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
care as one who falls ill during the week. | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
The government says the way junior doctors are paid will have | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
to change, but the doctors argue that the current proposal will mean | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
they are overstretched, putting patients in jeopardy. | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
Our Home Editor Mark Easton looks at both sides of the argument. | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
Both sides in this dispute say that patients are at the heart of what | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
they are doing, accusing the other lot of only caring about money. So | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
who is right? Let's look at what's involved. Who are the junior doctors | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
first of all? There are actually 55,000 of them and they are not | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
necessarily that junior. The term covers any qualified doctor who was | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
not yet consultant or GP full the or been working in the NHS for just a | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
few days or ten years. What they get paid varies hugely two. A salary of | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
?23,000 is what's on offer for some newly qualified medics but there are | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
top ups for anti-social hours, and, at the other end of the scale, | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
salaries of more than ?70,000 plus extras across the board for | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
registrars working with consultant taking life-and-death decisions. | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
What's on offer now? An 11% increase in basic pay. But a 25% cut in the | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
extra payments for those anti-social hours. And the scrapping of | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
automatic incremental pay rises. The government calculates that three | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
quarters of junior doctors will actually be better off, many see no | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
difference at all, and just 1% will be worse off, that's the government | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
says. The doctors dispute those numbers. Since the birth of the NHS, | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
the relationship between government and doctors | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
the relationship between government cool side. Aneurin Bevan said he | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
only won the backing of consultants for the new health service by | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
stuffing their mouths with gold. The last doctors pay strike in 1975 was | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
over a proposed contract which would have forced them to abandon | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
lucrative private practice, medics tend to be fiercely independent and | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
hate being told what to do by politicians. And once again, the | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
government finds itself at odds with doctors over funding their ambition | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
for a seven day a week NHS in England. The government wants to | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
continue to improve and develop services but hasn't really got the | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
money to invest in that, and pay is a big part of NHS costs, more than | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
two thirds of hospital budgets go on pay and hospitals are in deficit and | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
heading for a deficit of about ?2 billion this year. The BMA says the | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
proposed contract will be weakened and actually threaten patient | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
safety. The government believes Sunday working weeks prove the | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
patient experience -- improve. Today the NHS has been frustrated at best. | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
That was Mark Easton. For her assessment on today's | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
strike, we can speak to our Political Editor | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
Laura Kuenssberg. Laura, the stoppages over in the | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
morning but the argument will go on, isn't it? It certainly is, George, | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
but when you talk to people inside government, they said they all know, | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
the doctors, are going to lose. If you listen carefully to the words of | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
politicians like the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, talking about | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
how plans to change the NHS were in the Conservative manifesto and they | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
are determined to stick to what they set out, saying this strike is | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
unnecessary, there's a sense the end they believe they will get their | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
way. It's worth noting also that the government does actually have the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
power to impose these changes, even if doctors continue resisting. They | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
could just start changing contracts, maybe as early as next month, ring | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
in new contracts rather than changing ones which exist, but they | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
have the power to bring in these new terms and conditions even if there | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
is not agreement. We are not yet at the stage where ministers are | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
somehow throwing up their hands and just saying we want to put this | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
through with brute force. There is a sense in government wants today's | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
protests are finished, there's a couple of weeks before the next | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
strike is planned, when they may be able to make some progress in the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
talks. There is no sense the government is about to abandon their | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
efforts here. They are not in a mood to back down. They say the doors | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
open to doctors leaders but are the turban to get, maybe not all, but | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
certainly most of their way. Laura, thanks very much. | :09:39. | :09:39. | |
In Turkey, there's been a terror attack in the heart of the tourist | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Nine German visitors were killed and several | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
The Turkish Prime Minister says militants loyal to so-called | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
Islamic State were behind the attack. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
Our Turkey correspondent Mark Lowen is in the city now. | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
George, we heard it from Istanbul this morning. A huge blast which | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
rocked the city and has profoundly shaken this nation. The Turkish | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
Gutman has blamed it on Islamic State, the fourth such bombing in | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
less than a year. Istanbul was expecting a very large attack but | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
when it came, it still had devastating consequences. | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
The old town rocked by a massive explosion beside the Blue Mosque. | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
Security forces rushing to the scene as casualties mounted. | :10:29. | :10:37. | |
and fearing a possible second strike. | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
11 were killed, mostly German tourists. | :10:40. | :10:59. | |
The government blamed a suicide bomber, a Syrian man who it said | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
The quick identification suggests he was known. | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
TRANSLATION: As with all terrorist organisations, we will not pull back | :11:08. | :11:17. | |

It's the fourth attack in Turkey blamed on IS in the last year. | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
A country accused of being too slow to clamp down on the group, | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
allowing jihadists and weapons to cross its border into Syria. | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Turkey was long considered the pillar of stability | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
But in the past year there have been attacks across the country. | :11:43. | :11:51. | |
Soaring violence in the mainly Kurdish south-east and now a suicide | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
Turkey's image has suffered immensely. | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
This country feels more exposed than ever. | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
Tourism, vital to Turkey's economy, will take a hit. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
But those we met at the scene said they were determined to stay. | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
I'm proud that a lot of people are actually showing up | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
solidarity because of people start to panic, not visit Turkey, | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
One of the world's great cities now feels vulnerable. | :12:23. | :12:37. | |
Robert Black has died in prison in County Antrim. He was jailed for | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
murdering four girl from across the UK during the 1980s. The Northern | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Ireland prison service confirmed a 68-year-old prisoner had died at the | :12:49. | :12:49. | |
high security prison. The energy company BP plans to cut | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
600 jobs in the North Sea because of the falling | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
international price of oil. They are among 4,000 posts the firm | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
wants to shed worldwide. Scotland's First Minister Nicola | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
Sturgeon described the job losses as a crisis for those affected | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
but said the oil sector had New official figures show | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
that the number of women leaving the UK to travel to Syria | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
continues to rise. Counter-terrorism officers say many | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
are unaware they will probably never To try to discourage more | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
women from travelling, police have now released a short | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
film featuring three Syrian refugees who talk about the harsh realities | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
of life in the war zone. Our correspondent | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Sian Lloyd reports. Three mothers who fled Syria | :13:34. | :13:45. | |
for the safety of Britain sharing their stories of brutality | :13:46. | :13:55. | |
and reaching out to mothers Don't risk your own safety or that | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
of your children by travelling This film has been shown to groups | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
of women across the country Counterterrorism officers hope | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
they will take the message back A lot of the women who have decided | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
to go to Syria have done so because of the situations | :14:12. | :14:21. | |
and circumstances and their own vulnerabilities which have not been | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
addressed within this country. This message will actually counter | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
that narrative and provide them with a greater understanding | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
of why it's not safe. Why are people getting to the point | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
of being radicalised? It's not something that | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
happens overnight. There are a lot of issues around it | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
and it's about tackling the root causes before someone | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
gets to that point. This has got to be impacted properly | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
through the right channels. If it's through the education | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
system, if it's through schools, through teachers but | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
also with the parents. Mothers have a massive role | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
with their children's upbringing and the teachings of their children, | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
so we do have to target our mothers, definitely, to get | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
that message across. There is growing concern | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
about the number of women and girls These London schoolgirls | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
were thought to be on their way to join up with Islamic militants | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
and the numbers are rising. There is a wide range | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
of women who have travelled. 56 women and girls were reported | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
missing in 2015 by their families Counterterrorism officers hope | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
the accounts of these women will make others think twice | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
and help encourage mothers here to play their part | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
in determining their children here to play their part | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
in deterting their children Thousands of junior doctors | :15:44. | :15:45. | |

allegations made in that programme were that some of the young | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
offenders at the Young offenders centre were restrained in a way that | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
they claimed it would stop them breathing properly, and there are | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
allegations that staff were saying they have mistreated some of the | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
people they were supposed to be supervising. And also that the staff | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
were not reporting all of the incidents at the centre because they | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
did not want G4S, the company they were working for, to be fined. The | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
repercussions is that G4S have sacked four members of staff. Four | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
other members of staff either suspended or on restricted duties. A | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
caretaker has also been suspended. G4S executives were brought in to | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
meet Michael Gove. We caught up with one of those executives. He said it | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
had been constructive. He said he had been shocked and appalled by | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
what he had seen in the panorama report last night. I said, is G4S | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
still a fit company to be running prisons, to be running these | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
detention centres? This is what he had to say. Everything is under | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
review. We are looking at making sure we first of all cooperate with | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
the police, make sure the children are safe, and once we have done that | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
we will have a complete review of how this occurred and how we can | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
make sure it doesn't happen again. Labour says all of the centres, all | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
of the prisons, G4S run should be put into special measures. Somebody | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
from a charity connected to prison reform has written to the Serious | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
Fraud Office asking whether they should investigate whether public | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
money has been wasted if the allegations are true, that the staff | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
haven't been reporting what has happened there for fear of the | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
company getting fine. I think there is certainly developments on this. | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
-- getting fined. The boss of G4S says that they are, operating with | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
the police and that they will then carry out their review. | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
Thanks very much. The Mexican authorities have | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
released footage of the moments marines raided a hide-out used | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
by the country's most Joaqin Guzman - also | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
known as El Chapo - was on the run after escaping | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
from a maximum security The pictures were taken | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
on the marines' helmet cameras. This was the moment Mexican Marines | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
closed in on one of the world's Bursting into the property of drug | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
boss Joaqin El Chpo Guzman. They met fierce resistance | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
and responded with heavy In the firefight five | :22:29. | :22:29. | |
of El Chapo's men were killed. Four days later and the media | :22:30. | :22:54. | |
was allowed in to see The first thing you see | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
when you come into El Chapo's house is this kitchen that has been | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
totally turned upside down There are cans in there that have | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
just exploded from the force, And if you look over there, | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
it is still an active crime scene. There is blood on the floor | :23:07. | :23:15. | |
when someone died. Unbelievably, El Chapo almost got | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
away. It was through this he escaped down | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
the tunnel which led out to a storm I walked about a kilometre | :23:26. | :23:42. | |
from where El Chapo was hiding into what looks like | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
a pretty ordinary junction. But when the marines came | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
and El Chapo escaped, he escaped through the city's storm | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
drains and he came up in there. Speak to neighbours here | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
and they cannot quite believe TRANSLATION: It is a very quiet | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
part of town. About six months ago | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
you could see mounds of earth, about a metre and a half high, | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
not much else going on. It has taken everybody by surprise | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
that without even knowing there is this hugely | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
important person there. El Chapo is now in a high security | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
jail following his arrest. It is the same one he escaped | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
from six months ago, but the authorities insist security | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
has been toughened up since. It'll need to be, it is thought | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
the process to extradite him The media mogul Rupert Murdoch has | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
announced his engagement The couple were first seen in public | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
together last October. Our Entertainment Correspondent | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
David Sillito has more. Jerry Hall, model, actress, | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
former partner of Mick Jagger. Rupert Murdoch, three times married, | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
global media tycoon. And on page 53 of today's Times, | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
a happy announcement. Just over a year ago Jerry Hall | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
was perfecting her wicked laugh 12 months on, the future Mrs M | :24:52. | :25:00. | |
was said by Dame Joan Collins Of course the couple have already | :25:01. | :25:11. | |
been seen out and about over And for those championing | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
the joys of life after 50, the 84-year-old Mr Murdoch | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
is seen as a role model Divorce figures are higher | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
for the baby boomer group than for people | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
in their 30s and 40s. But equally, so is now | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
the remarriage rate. Of course it is not first time | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
around for the happy couple. Rupert Murdoch's previous wife, | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
the formidably protective Wendi Deng, leapt to his defence | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
when a custard pie headed his way Jerry Hall was, before Mick Jagger, | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
the partner of another rock star, They have between them more | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
than enough experience, Now, after leaves on the line | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
and the wrong type of snow, how's this for the latest weather | :26:03. | :26:15. | |
related excuse for a late train? south-east London were today | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
disrupted because of the angle of the sun, train operator | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
Southeastern said. Passengers were told: "The low | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
winter sun has been hitting the dispatch monitor which prevents | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
the driver from being able to see." Their customers were not | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
overly impressed - one asking how companies | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
in sunny climes managed There has been sunshine today. There | :26:36. | :26:56. | |
has also been some showers. You can see the hint of a rainbow as one of | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
our Weather watchers sent in this photograph today. It has been a day | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
of showers. Some heavy ones today, but they will fade out tonight. It | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
will be very cold tonight. This is coming through, showers can find to | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
the eastern parts of England and Scotland. It could turn icy as the | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
temperatures really drop. Many towns and cities hovering around zero. Raw | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
areas, below. -- rule. It will be a sparkling start of the day. Cold but | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
plenty of sunshine. We will see changes in the West, cloud | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
thickening, and showers coming in, particularly across Northern Ireland | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
which will be wet for a time with sleet and snow likely. Temperatures | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
again in single figures. But we should hang onto some sunshine. | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
Eight to nine Celsius across the West. Scotland needs to keep an eye | :27:51. | :27:56. | |
on this system. As it comes in it could provide snow. There is the | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
chance, through the central belt of Scotland, and other areas of | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
southern Scotland, even to lower levels, there could be snow. Then | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
this area is not done, it meanders across the UK on Wednesday and | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
Thursday, still providing some snow. Chiefly over the hills on Thursday | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
morning, but increasingly across parts of East of England as it | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
clears away. Still some uncertainty about that, so stay tuned to the | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
forecast. Definitely the potential of something interesting over the | :28:29. | :28:31. | |
next couple of days. The weather is calming down over Friday and the | :28:32. | :28:37. | |
weekend. Someone to be showers. But largely dry and staying | :28:38. | :28:38. |
