Consultant doctors in England to strike next month

Consultant doctors in England are to stage a two-day strike next month in a dispute over pay and working conditions.

Senior doctors in England have announced a two-day strike next month over pay and working conditions. The government has called the planned action "irresponsible". The Home Secretary has commissioned an independent review into the murder of Henry Nowak -- the student whose attacker falsely claimed he had been racially abused. The Prime Minister has left the door open for a referendum on freedom of movement, but has ruled out major changes to the relationship with the EU before the next election. Part of London's busy Oxford Street has become pedestrianised -- a move that the city's mayor hopes will boost the economy. (Image: PA)
