Images show a picket line in front of UCL hospital in London as junior doctors begin a 3-day strike over pay at the start of a week that will also see teachers, train staff and civil servants walk out in the lastest of a wave of UK industrial action. The strike by junior doctors -- who are not senior specialists but can still have decades of experience -- is the longest they have ever staged. The British Medical Association, the body representing them, says junior doctors have suffered a 26% real-terms paycut since 2008/09 and are demanding a 35% wage hike to combat this. IMAGES

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