junior doctors have taken to picket lines. this latest round of industrial action has seen concern from charities and nhs leaders that patients could end up stuck in hospital over the festive period and that patient care will suffer in what's a very busy time for the health service. butjunior doctors say measures are in place to ensure their strike action poses no danger to patients. as we've shown with our seven previous rounds of strike action this year, we can do it safely with the cover of our consultant colleagues, our specialist colleagues, expert senior doctors who can look after patients whilst we are here standing up for ourselves and trying to reverse the pay cuts that our government has inflicted upon us over the last 15 years. this is day two of a three day strike byjunior doctors in england. it's the 27th day of industrial action in their long—running pay dispute with the government. so far, nhs strikes, including those by ambulance staff and nurses, have seen more than a million appointments and treatments cancelled in the past year,

and there's more to come. junior doctors will be on strike for six days at the start of january, the longest in nhs history. ministers say this latest round of strike action is bound to cause significant disruption, but the door to further talks remains open if the january walk—out is cancelled. there was some optimism earlier this month that negotiations could lead to a breakthrough. an offer of a pay rise averaging 3% from january was being discussed on top of the average of nearly 9% junior doctors received in april. but the bma said that wasn't enough. junior doctors had asked for an extra 35% to make up for below inflation pay rises since 2008. so both sides seem to be back where they were as the nhs heads into what is one of the busiest, most pressured times of the year. dominic hughes, bbc news. the health secretary, victoria atkins told the bbc where we're at with negotiations

well, within 2a hours of being appointed by the prime minister, i called the bma in, all of the committees, the chairs of the committees, to say to them, "look, i would like us to work together". and we have managed, through hard work and through compromise, to find an offer that i hope will be accepted by consultants and we have managed to find a fair and reasonable settlement for speciality doctors as well. the last cohort is that ofjunior doctors, or doctors in training as i prefer to call them, and say sadly, to my great disappointment, they walked out of our next and then called these strikes. so i have said time and time again that if they call off the strikes, then i will be straight back round the negotiating table with them, because i believe we can get this done and we must get it done for the sake of our patients. live now to our reporter mairead smyth who's on a picket

line in south london. just talk us through what doct — edoctors are saying there? yes. just talk us through what doct - edoctors are saying there? yes, this icket line edoctors are saying there? yes, this picket line is — edoctors are saying there? yes, this picket line is very _ edoctors are saying there? yes, this picket line is very small. _ edoctors are saying there? yes, this picket line is very small. just - edoctors are saying there? yes, this picket line is very small. just one i picket line is very small. just one doctor on this picket line at st george's hospital. but he said for him he has already done five years as a doctor, anotherfive him he has already done five years as a doctor, another five years ahead, as a junior doctor, before he specialises. so he is not really having any admiration for being called a doctor in training. junior doctors make up the majority of nhs doctors, many with a decade's worth of experience on wards in hospitals. and this strike does affect hospitals more than any other variety of care in the primary service. here at st george's

hospital the message from managers is to turn up for your appointment, unless you have been told not to. unless you have been told your appointment is cancelled, you should turn up and the a&e department is also open. cheltenham a&e department has had to close during the strikes and will close again during the january strikes. a sixth day strike is planned injanuary f that goes ahead, it will be the biggest walk out in the nhs history. that sticking point is still about pay, bma still asking for 35%. they say that it needs to address the historic lack of upgrade in pay since 2008. the government says that 3% is on the table for the new year on top of 9% offered in april. but the government and the bma still in

out. but the bma felt they had to go ahead with it. today is day two, tomorrow will be day two and six days planned forjanuary.- tomorrow will be day two and six days planned forjanuary. a group of mps has called on the premier league and other sporting bodies to cut what it calls the bombardment of gambling advertisments in stadiums. a report by the culture, media and sport committee welcomed a planned move to withdraw gambling sponsorship on the front of shirts, but said there are many other adverts to address. francis read reports. from day one of the premier league season, it's on the shirts and in the stadiums. those watching see thousands of gambling ads across multiple games. mps say the bombardment, particularly for kids, is too much. and while gambling sponsorship on the front of premier league shirts will eventually go,

the cross—party culture, media and sport committee says it won't be enough. mps have recommended a new gambling sponsorship code of conduct to be developed by the government and with sports governing bodies, and that a high proportion of ads should promote safer gambling. the report also supported extra online protection for young adults and for the introduction of a levy to be paid by gambling operators to fund addiction prevention and treatment. children are obviously, you know, go to football matches with their parents. it's a sort of standard family, wonderful outing. but there, there is a lot of exposure to gambling advertising. it's on the front of shirts, it's on the side of shirts, it's in the stadium in terms of the banners. it's also on the various sort of leaflets that are handed around. and what that does, and we've seen through this report where it talks about 7,000 gambling messages across six football matches, that means that children see gambling is normalised. the betting and gaming council said that a sports sponsorship code should be published without delay to drive up standards and that rules already ensure

advertising is responsible. the government said that proposed new measures would also deliver greater protections. but some charities have said it doesn't touch the sides and that gambling ads should be removed from sports like football entirely. francis read, bbc news. live now to will prochaska from gambling with lives — a charity that provides support for families bereaved by gambling—related suicide. good to have you on. first of all, can i get your thoughts on this report? do you think it goes far enough? we report? do you think it goes far enou~h?~ . ., , report? do you think it goes far enou.h?. . ., , enough? we certainly welcome the mpin: enough? we certainly welcome the mping shining _ enough? we certainly welcome the mping shining a — enough? we certainly welcome the mping shining a light _ enough? we certainly welcome the mping shining a light on _ enough? we certainly welcome the mping shining a light on the - enough? we certainly welcome the mping shining a light on the issue, | mping shining a light on the issue, but we don't think it goes further enough. i don't think it is reasonable to expect the premier league to cut off his revenue

how bad it has become. what the industry is doing by advertising to the next generation is grooming them. the industry moves through its customers quickly and the best customers quickly and the best customers become bankrupt and they have to replace them and they do that you through advertising and normalising gambling. maw; that you through advertising and normalising gambling. many people will be shocked _ normalising gambling. many people will be shocked by _ normalising gambling. many people will be shocked by that _ normalising gambling. many people will be shocked by that figure - normalising gambling. many people will be shocked by that figure for i will be shocked by that figure for children in classrooms and the addiction level there is. who do you find are the most susceptible to gambling addiction?— gambling addiction? there is evidence that _ gambling addiction? there is evidence that children, - gambling addiction? there is evidence that children, as i gambling addiction? there is| evidence that children, as the gambling addiction? there is - evidence that children, as the brain develops up to the age of 23 or 2a, children and young adults are susceptible if they're exposed to the most addictive products. that is why the advertising is so effective. you can find casino with the worst products in the market. anybody can

safer gambling messages need to focus on how dangerous the products are not and to differentiate, it is not as dangerous to bet on a weekly horse race than on gambling slots. we need this governmentor or the next to take a grip on this issue. thank you. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised you can find organisations offering help and support on the bbc action line website, just search bbc dot co .uk forward slash actionline. sir keir starmer and the shadow defence secretaryjohn healey are visiting british troops deployed near the russian border in estonia to stress labour's commitment to nato. the labour leader is also using his visit to warn that the west must not lose sight of moscow's threat to europe. i'm here to say thank you to our

can feel so isolating. we want to make sure that everyone feels included, seen, heard and celebrated. we are at the iconic nightclub ministry of sound and it's soft drinks all the way. i'm not here to preach but there is something so empowering about doing all the things that you have always loved doing but without alcohol. usually i drink alcohol over christmas, it might be a little bit harder, but i'm wanting to do this no alcohol. one, two, three, four, five glasses. in hampshire, 0ctavia is also trying sobriety this christmas. and that means a first sober christmas do. i'm not a shy person and i don't need a drink to have a good time, providing i am with the right people, and in the right mood, then i can definitely have a great time. i think there's so many amazing nonalcoholic alternatives now which has made a massive difference and it's been really fun trying them all out.

i was talking to my best friend, and she said, "you don't need a drink to be happy and you don't need a drink to be fun" and actually that's a really lovely realisation. it's a choice, it's a health and well—being choice, and it's something that i feel will benefit the stage of life that i am at right now. i don't think i would identify as a nondrinker and actually i find it quite odd saying, i'm sober, because that sounds like i had a problem before. she's part of a wider trend of going sober and supliers are matching that with what's on offer. new figures from the british beer and pub association show that 87% of pubs now serve non or low alcoholic beer and tesco says they expect record demand this christmas. but for some battling addiction this is more than just a lifestyle choice. i think christmas can be a really challenging time of year if you are early into your recovery from an issue, and from our point of view, we would say, talk to your friends and family about what is going on for you, really think about planning ahead, and try and think about nice

activities you can do that can fill up the space that alcohol might have been playing in your life. back at dry disco, what tips do people have for anyone going sober or cutting back this year? it's harderfor me i think being younger, with the family saying, are you not having a drink? it's one of them things, i think having an open conversation, being honest, that would be my advice. peer pressure is a big struggle for a lot of people so practice saying no is a really important thing, in the mirror, get your answer for why you are not drinking, i think that's a good one. i know when to leave now and i'm fine with leaving at a certain time| because nothing good happens after 12 o'clock. _ # all i want for christmas is you. jim connelly, bbc news. for more on the growing trend of no and low alcohol i'm joined by aaron duffet of lucky saint — an alcohol free beer company. and also emma mcclarkin, the chief executive of the british beer and pub association.

is still packing a punch. for some northern areas, we're looking at gales or even severe gales, with gusts as much as 80mph across shetland. so a very windy day wherever you are. there will also be some heavy showers, some wintry on higher ground. and, of course, the continued risk of disruption. this area of low pressure is storm pia, pushing off to scandinavia. we have a weather front that is sinking south, taking this cloud and patchy rain with it, and some squally showers following on behind. some of those wintry on high ground, but coming a bit lower as we go through the course of the day. so, strong winds in the north, strong winds too across northern ireland, the isle of man, northern england, the north midlands and north wales. for south wales, the south midlands, east anglia and southern areas, it is still going to be windy, just not as windy. and there is the risk of some coastal flooding, not just today but also tonight and tomorrow along parts of the coast of east anglia. so, a mild day for northern ireland, england and wales.

but a cooler day in scotland, particularly so in the north—east. through this evening and overnight we continue with wintry showers on high ground in scotland, notjust in the highlands but also the northern isles. a weather front pushes northwards, taking its rain with it. so still cold in the far north—east. could be some ice around as well to watch out for the first thing. this is the weather front which is producing all the rain. tomorrow you can see from the isobars it's going to be windy, just not as windy as today. that mild air is trying to push up in through scotland, but not succeeding into the far north—east. we start off with a fair bit of cloud and rain around. some of that, giving way to some brighter skies as we go through the course of the day, and these are our temperatures. one in lerwick, five in aberdeen, but ten in glasgow, the warmer air getting in here. ii and 12s as we push further south across england, wales and northern ireland. 0vernight friday into to saturday, we will have some transient snow clearing during saturday with a lot of rain piling into the north and west. come further south

and it will be drier. bits and pieces of cloud around and some showers. again, milder. and as we head up towards christmas, for christmas day itself, we could well see some rain in the south, some wintry showers in the hills in the north and cooler.
