let's just take a look at what a junior doctor actually is. now, they are qualified doctors who are going through clinical training, which can take around eight years or more. they make up around 50% of nhs staff, so actually, over the next six days of industrial action, the nhs could be losing half of its workforce, and that's at a time when the nhs is already facing pressure from the winter season. now, here's nhs england's medical director. we just had a really busy christmas and new year period, our nhs staff have coped magnificently with the pressures over that period, but we are now facing six days of industrial action byjunior doctors. that's the longest period of industrial action in nhs history. of course, it's at a time when the nhs is always very busy with winter pressures, viruses such as covid and flu, so there's no doubt it's going to be challenging. first of all, let's just take a look at how muchjunior doctors are paid.

well, for the basic foundation pay in first year, it's just over £32,000, and that's without extras such as night pay. this can climb to over £63,000 for specialty registrars, which is after a few years of training. now, the government have offered a 3% average pay rise from january, and this is on top of an existing 9% average pay rise, which was already received back in april, but the british medical association is saying that this is not enough, and that's because junior doctors are asking for a 35% pay rise. that's because they've received below inflation pay rises since 2008. now, in terms of the government response, they say, we urge the bma junior doctors�* committee to call off their strokes and come back to the negotiating table so we can find a fair and reasonable solution and so we can all get back to focusing on patients and their care.

hundreds of flood warnings are still in place across the uk after storm henk battered large areas. strong winds and heavy rain caused power cuts and travel disruption. lucy grey has more. travel delays are the main fallout today as train services struggle to get back to normal after the high winds and rain of storm henk, flooding and damage to overhead power lines has caused power outages, which means there's been delays on several services to southern, gatwick express, great northern and thameslink, and there are more than 300 flood warnings in place across the country, and more than 10,000 people still without power in central and southern england. and thameslink, and there are more than 300 flood warnings in place motorists have been particularly badly affected, with trains coming down across roads and surface water causing breakdowns and crashes, and we have heard from gloucestershire police a man

in his 50s has died after his car was hit by a tree in kemble yesterday. a woman and her three—year—old daughter were in this car when it got stuck in a ford in birmingham. how many of you? two, and my daughter is three years old! a three—year—old and a mum. please get my daughter out! it's going to fall under the bridge! fortunately, this man was nearby and came to help. "my baby, please get my baby out the car, get my baby out the car," she's only two or three, _ i don't know, but she was shouting about her baby, and i'm a father, i've got kids, and that call, - it was a call from home, it wasjust instinct, - so i had to do something. he took the baby out, he got a rope from his car, tied up the car onto the railing, onto the bridge, and then he took the lady out and he saved both of them. the storm has now passed, the because more rain is forecast and it's going to be falling

on ground that is already wet, more flooding is expected, so we can expect more difficult driving conditions and the roads to be closed for hours to come. the founder of the kids company charity — camila batmanghelidjh — has died at the age of 61. she was a high—profile campaigner for disadvantaged young people, and was known for her colourful clothes. she stepped down from her charity in 2015 after allegations of financial mismanagement, but she was later cleared of any wrongdoing. her family described her as an "endless source of inspiration". it's estimated that at least one million young carers in the uk, need to spend 50 hours or more every week looking after family members because of illness, disability or addiction. despite new legislation coming into force last year to support young carers — a recent report found there is a postcode lottery of support available, with the average waiting

time to access help being about three years. narges cares for her dad, who is blind, and also interprets for her mum. this is her story. i love doing gymnastics and football. those are my top two hobbies. i've got three different favourite colours — blue, purple and black. and i just think they go together very nicely. now i'm in secondary school, i'm top set for maths and i'm doing latin. 11—year—old narges is just home from school. but as a young carer, she has a busy evening ahead. my dad is blind, so i help him with the letters. i help guide him around. i make tea, i make breakfast a lot of the times. and especially when we're going out, because sometimes there's roadworks going on and it's especially hard on bin day when people

put their bins out and then you've got to just guide carefully through them. and i do the laundry, as well — if i haven't said that, i'm not sure. ijust help clean up. i do a lot of translating, but most of the times they understand. one of my friends goes home, either goes to scouts or basketball, but theyjust play sport after school. my otherfriend goes home, goes in bed or on their phone, watches netflix. i don't know what they do, but they basicallyjust relax. i do this and it makes me happy, so i'm fine with it. it makes me feel very important, though. it makes me feel like the heart of the family sometimes. my dad says i'm an extraordinary girl, clever as well, but he says i'm like his left hand. "we require access to your flat to inspect the inside." it makes me feel responsible and it just makes me feel grown up, mature. so do you feel older than 11? if it wasn't for my height,

i'd feel about 15 years old. but once a week, narges gets a break when she joins other young carers. wow, you feel like you're gliding and flying. is it easy? yeah, it's fun. once you get the hang of it. it's so fun. and, tonight, she's ice skating with herfriend jessica, who also looks after her dad. my dad has kidney failure and sometimes i have to look after him when i go to his house. and it's got better now. but i used to have to make the lunches for my two younger brothers. sometimes, i had to clean the house and make sure he wasn't drinking too much liquid. so one time we went shopping for mother's day, so my stepmum and my mum weren't there, and he lay on the floor and he began to feel faint. so i had to tell a staff member and they called the ambulance and i had to speak to the ambulance members. and it was quite scary because my two younger brothers

were crying and i was the oldest. it feels a bit better because i know there's people that, like, have the same as me and like i'm not alone and we can, like, relate on the same things and we can talk about it. because sometimes at school i don't think a lot of people go through the same thing, so it's just nice to know that other people are going through it, so you're not alone. i've been looking after my brother for as long as i can remember. . he's nonverbal autistic. there's a lot of - responsibility at home. it's been so freeing, sometimes, i tojust come out and make the night about myself rather than worry about, you know, other- things and other people. if you keep everything bottled up, then it feels like you need to let it out sometimes. and they're like the people i let it out to. i just feel relaxed, like i'm on holiday. it's like having a shoulder to lean on or something like that. and itjust gives me a rest, a break, but it

makes me happy as well. they make me so happy when i go there. if you have been affected by any of the issues raised, help is available from bbc action line — just visit bbc.co.uk/actionline storm henk has hit the west of england particularly hard. there's been extensive flooding on many roads, rail services cancelled, rivers swollen and dozens of trees down. as we've just heard — man in his fifties from the bath area has died near kemble in gloucestershire after a tree fell on the car he was driving. live now to our reporter steve knibbs in cirencester in gloucestershire. awful news about the man who's been killed. what more can you tell us? you are right, a terrible start to

turned up the drone, there's going to put that up to make sure they captured everything, they've done their work on the ground, we are sick to my right tractors and heavy lifting equipment arriving to clear the trees. you can see it's a large, substantial tree. that will be cleared out of the way. vehicles will be recovered, then hopefully the road here will be reopened in time for rush hour. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good afternoon. today has brought somewhat brighter weather for many of us, but in the wake of storm henk, there's still a lot of water out there. the ground is saturated, numerous flood warnings in force, and there is some more rain to come. through the rest of the day, that rain mostly in the form of some quite hefty showers, it stays windy across southern counties of england and the channel islands, large amounts of cloud across scotland in particular with some showery rain, windy up towards the northern isles, and cold across shetland, ending the day with temperatures barely above freezing here, and generally speaking, temperatures around 6—9 degrees

as we head into the early part of the evening. 0vernight, we keep fairly large amounts of cloud, still some showers here and there, clearer skies, though, a slice of clear sky spreading from the south—west. temperatures dropping to around 3, 4 or 5 degrees, some places just a little colder than that. into tomorrow, low pressure to the north of the uk, still generating some showery rain. this frontal system bringing some rain into the south, in between this slice of sunshine, tending just a little bit further northwards through the day. the far north of england, northern ireland and scotland staying cloudy, showery, windy in the far north, and then this rain starts to edge into southern counties of england. we will have to keep an eye on this, there's still a bit of uncertainty about this weather system, it may edge just a little bit further northwards, it will bring heavy rain in places where we really do not need it, moving into south—east england and east anglia through the evening, and on the southern flank it may be that we see another swathe of quite strong winds,

but by friday that weather system is clearing out into continental europe. friday is a bit of a transition day, there will still be some showers around, but things will be slowly drying out and calming down. a lot of cloud, some sunshine, temperatures down on where they have been, and that drying out process continues into the weekend, with low pressure relinquishing its grip, and high pressure building more strongly across the uk. there will be some showers around, some of those could even be wintry, because the air will be turning colder. with that colder air and high pressure, lighter winds, we will see some mist and fog patches by night, a touch of frost for some, as well, generally the days colder than they have been, but a lot of dry weather around with some spells of sunshine.
