but the question is, can the gap be bridged between what the british medical association want, which the table? an average of 8.8% already paid out as an increase to junior doctors, with 3% more on offer. they say that is more than what other health unions have got. and really it is time for the junior doctors to settle. so a big question is, can those talks make any progress and will that avert further strike action byjunior doctors or not? new research commissioned by the bbc�*s panorama programme suggests police forces in england and wales need an extra 18,000 officersjust to keep up with population growth. the home office says officer numbers are at a record high, but their own figures show only one in 20 crimes in england and wales results in a suspect being charged. it's led to some victims taking steps to investigate their own crimes, as bronagh munro reports. when i got up at 7:00 in the morning, the tv was off the wall — on the floor — the drawers in my living room were open, and there were footprints through the kitchen. sarah goode's home in blackburn was burgled three mon

the british medical association says 51% of its members voted against the offer consultants walked out with junior doctors. they say the pay offer does not go far enough. so let's go straight to the newsroom and straight to our health editor. this is a pretty major setback for the government because it was hoped that this part of the various health disputes had been resolved. . �* , resolved. that's right. the government _ resolved. that's right. the government have - resolved. that's right. the government have given . resolved. that's right. the government have given a i resolved. that's right. the - government have given a strong message that they thought this was a very fair deal. as well as the money on the table, there were reforms of the whole pay band system to make it easier for consultants to move up the system and if they had to take time out of the workforce, particularly women leaving the workforce and coming back in, they weren't penalised, so it was sold as a very, very good package and there has been a lot of debate about it amongst consultants, but by this very narrow m
