good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. thousands ofjunior doctors in england have begun a four—day strike in support of their demand for a pay rise of 35%. the bma union says the figure would make up for 15 years of below—inflation wage rises. the government says the claim is unaffordable and has urged the bma to come to the table with a "realistic" approach. more than 250,000 appointments and operations could be cancelled, and some hospitals say up to half of planned treatment is affected. junior doctors — who are qualified doctors in clinical training — previously went on strike between the 13 and 15th of march. that led to 175,000 outpatient appointments and operations being rescheduled. professor sir stephen powis, nhs england's national medical director, has warned services "will be stretched", adding the strikes "will cause significant disruption". the health secretary steve barclay

called the action "extremely disappointing" and said it risked patient safety. the bma said there are plans to pull doctors off picket lines if lives are in immediate danger. under trade union laws, life—and—limb cover must be provided. 0ur health correspondent, catherine burns, reports. # full pay restoration! singing about pay and waving banners is is something we've seen since december, nhs staff out on picket lines. today it isjunior doctors in england. but their strike has the potential to be bigger than anything else we've seen, partly because they make up a huge chunk of the nhs workforce but also because of when and how long they are walking out for. a four day strike from this morning, straight through until saturday morning. timing is key here. the bank holidays and weekends mean the last

date of usual weekday staffing levels was on thursday april the 6th and the next, the 17th. nhs bosses say they are worried this will put immense pressure on the system. we feel for immense pressure on the system. - feel for patients who are affected. we will reschedule those procedures as soon as possible but this is a significant set of industrial action that will cause major disruption. £14 an hour... that will cause ma'or disruption. £14 an hour. . .— that will cause ma'or disruption. £14 an hour... junior doctors can have several _ £14 an hour... junior doctors can have several years _ £14 an hour... junior doctors can have several years experience i £14 an hour... junior doctors canj have several years experience or newly qualified, like ben who left medical school summer and doesn't know how long he will stay in the nhs. i know how long he will stay in the nhs. ., ., ., ., ~ know how long he will stay in the nhs. ., ., ., .,~ know how long he will stay in the nhs. ., ., ., ., know how long he will stay in the nhs. . ., ., ., , nhs. i have had to take off for my mental health, _ nhs. i have had to take off for my mental health, with _ nhs. i have had to take off for my mental health, with stress - nhs. i have had to take off for my mental health, with stress and - mental health, with stress and anxiety, and i don't really see how i'm going to be able to get through even the first two years of training. even the first two years of training-— even the first two years of trainina. ., ., , ., ., training. the morale is at an all-time _ training. the morale is at an all-time low. _ training. the morale is at an all-time low. i— training. the morale is at an all-time low. i don't - training. the morale is at an i all-time low. i don't remember training. the morale is at an - all-time low. i don't remember the all—time low. i don't remember the last time _ all—time low. i don't remember the last time i— all—time low. i don't remember the last time i went home and felt like i've done _ last time i went home and felt like i've done a — last time i went home and felt like i've done a wonderfuljob, everyone -ot i've done a wonderfuljob, everyone got the _ i've done a wonderfuljob, everyone got the care — i've done a wonderfuljob, everyone got the care they wanted, the care they deserved. |

junior doctors get paid. and that seemed to be infected, in terms of gathering public support. there were so many taxis and buses hooting, blaring out their support for the doctors and they were certainly very energetic, very confident. we spoke to some of them, newly qualified doctors and some who had been working for quite some time and they said they were determined to keep this up, even though they knew that, as doctors, it was their responsibility to care for patients they felt as things stood, they were not really caring for them very well. they were not able to give them the kind of treatment they really thought they should have. so that was the atmosphere here all morning. as i say, people were resolute and this is the first of what could be many more strikes. the second one in a sequence but there could be more.—

second one in a sequence but there could be more. 0ur health correspondent, jim reed, is here. what is the advice to people who might need medical attention today? thanks, reeta. as you heard from catherine and sanchia, nhs trusts are expecting between 250 and 350,000 appointments and operations will need to be delayed this week because of the strike in england. now as for the impact on patients, the nhs has said appointments will only be cancelled "where necessary" and you should be rebooked immediately if you're affected. if you haven't been contacted already, then you should expect that appointment to go ahead as planned. gp practices will remain open, although again, with fewer staff in many places. if you are feeling unwell, then first port of call should be that nhs111 online and then the telephone service. the advice is to only dial 999 if it's a life—threatening emergency. but if you have an urgent problem, then you should continue to go

to a&e as you would do normally. all that advice is for england only. in scotland, though, junior doctors are also being balloted for strike action. we're expecting a result of that vote next month. there are no current plans for strikes in wales and northern ireland, although doctors in both those nations are campaigning for similar pay increases and industrial action has certainly not been ruled out. wrightjim, thank you very much. and you can see all the latest on the junior doctors' strike and the impact it is expected to have on services in the coming days — on the bbc news website. the boss of one of the uk's largest business groups, the cbi, has been fired after an investigation into complaints about his conduct at work. tony danker had stepped aside while allegations linked to his behaviour towards a female employee were investigated. three other cbi employees have also been suspended "pending further investigation into a number of ongoing allegations", the group said.

our business correspondent, emma simpson, is here. just remind us what's led up to his dismissal? this story has rocked the cbi. he stepped aside last month amid complaints. an investigation began but the report into what happened hasn't actually been published. it was done by an independent legal firm. the cbi simply saying today that related to specific complaints about workplace misconduct. but it had determined that his conduct fell short of that expected of the director—general. so he was sacked with immediate effect, but he's clearly not very happy about it because he said on twitter this morning that he was shocked to learn about his dismissal. instead of being invited to put forward his position. he said many of the allegations against him had been distorted but he said that he recognised that he unintentionally made a number of colleagues feel

uncomfortable and he was truly sorry about it. but he is now out and fast. he has already been replaced ijy fast. he has already been replaced by rain newton—smith, the former chief economist of the cbi. so a by rain newton-smith, the former chief economist of the cbi. so a new appointment — chief economist of the cbi. so a new appointment already. _ chief economist of the cbi. so a new appointment already. what - chief economist of the cbi. so a new appointment already. what is - chief economist of the cbi. so a new appointment already. what is the i appointment already. what is the task ahead for her and the cbi? she has a hue task ahead for her and the cbi? file: has a huge task task ahead for her and the cbi? 5ie: has a huge task ahead of her task ahead for her and the cbi? 5“ie: has a huge task ahead of her because this is farfrom over. she has to steer this organisation through a much wider crisis because there are further allegations of misconduct. drug use and a rape at a summer boat party in 2019, or related, it should be said, to tony danker. the cbi described his delete by these allegations are devastating and it's been damaging. the government has paused meetings with the cbi. the cbi has hit the pause button on big annual events, its dinner was

cancelled. it is a mess and some wonder if the future of the cbi is in doubt. today it said it will be co—operating fully with police, it has launched a review of its culture and governance but i think it is still too early to say whether these moves are enough to satisfy its members that they can be represented.— members that they can be represented. members that they can be re - resented. ., ., «a represented. 0k, men are thanks. emma simpson — represented. 0k, men are thanks. emma simpson there. _ president biden arrives in northern ireland this evening to mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement — the deal which brought the troubles largely to an end. but the visit is going ahead in the absence of a devolved government at stormont, as the power—sharing deal ushered in by the agreement collapsed last year. here's our ireland correspondent, chris page. in belfast city centre, it's hard not to notice that a powerful visitor is expected. more than 300 extra police officers have been drafted in from the rest of the uk to help with the security operation. across the atlantic, white house officials say

the president is excited about the trip. president biden cares deeply about northern ireland and has a long history of supporting peace and prosperity there. as a us senator, joe biden was an advocate for how the united states could play a constructive role supporting peace. cheering a previous democratic party president, bill clinton, had the most significant role in the peace process. he made the first ever presidential visit to northern ireland in 1995. president clinton was closely involved in the final hours before the good friday agreement was signed, 25 years ago. the deal largely ended three decades of conflict. i remember the suffering, the terrible trauma. you know, 3,500 people were killed and many others suffered — still suffer trauma. this agreement, in its complexity and its constructive ambiguity, is a wonderful example for the world. it's known all around the world.

there are still some outbursts of trouble. this happened yesterday in londonderry, at the start of a march held by dissident republicans who are opposed to the good friday agreement. another difficulty is political instability. the democratic unionist party is currently blocking the power—sharing devolved assembly from meeting, in protest against brexit trading arrangements. in the past, yes, presidents have tried to help matters but a former prime minister says that needs diplomatic skill. the americans can play an important part of this but you've just got to insert them at the right moment and in the right place. but it's something that you need to do carefully because there's a difference between influencing and pressurising and the one tends to be positive and the other can be negative. there's no expectation that president biden's visit will lead to the political roadblocks being lifted immediately. but everyone involved is hoping it

will bring benefits, including a promise of economic support. let's speak to chris now. what's the mood ahead of president biden's arrival? i suppose people in northern ireland have become quite used to these sorts of huge security operations that surround the us presidential visits. this is the seventh such occasion in this part of the uk. bill clinton came three times during his presidency, george w bush twice and barack 0bama once. this visit by joe biden will be relatively short, he will carry out one public engagement when he opens a new ulster university campus in belfast tomorrow. we believe there will not be time for substantive talks with local politicians, they expect to meet him perhaps on the fringes of

the ulster university events but do not think it will amount to much more than small talk and handshakes, so the political critics of the dup argue that the president's itinerary would have been more expensive were it not for the political stalemate at stormont. the president was invited to address the northern ireland assembly macro but the invitation was not accepted. downing street had said that as far as rishi sunak is concerned, the president's visit is not low—key, it will be very worthwhile and valuable and underscore america's continuing commitment to the peace process in northern ireland. that is the emphasis the british and irish governments will be trying to place on the presidential visit over the coming days when president biden comes first to northern ireland and then across the border to the republic of ireland for few days. the time is 13:17. our top story this lunchtime... junior doctors in england, demanding a 35% pay rise,

start a four—day strike. the government says their demands are unaffordable. and still to come — 1 million smokers will be given free vaping kits to encourage them to give up tobacco products. coming up on the bbc news channel: with 100 days to go until the fifa women's world cup, organisers say they are on course to sell a record 1.5 million tickets for the event, which takes place across australia and new zealand. ukraine says that landmines laid since the invasion by russia last year covers territory roughly the size of england, wales and northern ireland combined. the 67,000 square mile area is mainly in the north—eastern kharkiv region. officials say it will take decades to clear all the devices. from kharkiv, our correspondent james waterhouse sent this report. this is what you call a scratching of the surface,

a sweep and a gentle prod for hidden killers. a job with very obvious occupational hazards. translation: my family calls me in the morning l and tells me to be careful, to watch where i tread. of course they are worried, very much worried. before, we would work with shells from world war ii, and now they are modern munitions, so we have to learn constantly because we find new kinds that we haven't encountered before. it's hard to describe this as anything other than random. this is a patch of land in the middle of balakliya, it's not a place, unlike other areas, that was once contested, where there was heavy fighting. but what these minesweepers are looking for are so—called butterfly mines — they are banned by international law, they don't look much but the damage they can cause is severe.

this part of ukraine has been both occupied and liberated. in the area around the city of izyum both sides had been accused of using butterfly mines, with kyiv denying it. for patients in the battered hospital, the results are the same. this man stepped on one in the garden of his destroyed home. translation: everything was lost. i have no house, no cars, no cows, no property, and i used to have it all. it all got burned down, ruined, made useless, impossible to rebuild. my grandchildren cannot visit because everything is mined. at a mine lecture, there's an appetite to better understand this resident threat. translation: i'm very cautious. i don't walk around much, but when i do, i use the same path,

because i'm scared. i have a 16—year—old son and i'm really worried about him going out on his own. i tell him about the mines. i wish he was here to listen to this. back in balakliya, oleksander�*s task reaches its crescendo. a job likely to be replicated for decades. james waterhouse, bbc news, kharkiv region. a substantial leak of classified us military documents, including on ukraine, has been described as "a risk to national security" by the pentagon. us authorities say they are "working around the clock" to find the source and scale of the leak. the files contain sensitive information and detail operational data about china, about some of america's allies, and also on the war in ukraine. our ukraine correspondent, hugo bachega, joins us from the capital, kyiv.

tell us what the leaks say about ukraine, and what the response has been from ukraine's government? at the beginning the ukrainians tried to downplay the significance of these leaks, saying it was a possible disinformation campaign by russia, but the reality is that we still do not know what exactly has been leaked, and also the extent of the damage. last week we had pictures of documents with details of the level of assistance being given by nato countries to ukraine, dates of when weapons were expected to be delivered and details of ukrainian military units, so important information, but to date more leaks and more significant leaks, the washington post reported documents showed us officials have doubts about the ability of the ukrainian military to make major gains in a counteroffensive. we know the ukrainians are planning an

offensive to try to take back territory and we know they face major challenges like a lack of ammunition. almost a fifth of this country is under occupation and there is evidence the russians are now fortifying their position, so i think the leaks give an indication of discussions happening behind—the—scenes in washington, they are likely to put pressure perhaps on the ukrainian authorities and two key questions remain for the americans, who is behind the leaks and why? americans, who is behind the leaks and wh ? . ~ americans, who is behind the leaks andwh ? ., ,, americans, who is behind the leaks and wh ? ., ,, ., americans, who is behind the leaks andwh? ., ., a woman will become the head of gchq for the first time in its more than 100—year history when the current director steps down next month. anne keast—butler has been appointed to succeed sirjeremy fleming as head of the government's intelligence organisation. ms keast—butler, currently m15's deputy director—general, said she is delighted to be appointed. she will take up the role in may. detectives in the us state of kentucky say a gunman who killed five people at a bank yesterday streamed the attack live on social media.

connor sturgeon, who was 25, worked at the bank and opened fire on his colleagues before being shot and killed by police at the scene in louisville. nine people were wounded in the shooting, including an officer who graduated to the force two weeks ago and who has been shot in the head. around 1 million smokers in england will be given a free vaping starter kit to encourage them to give up tobacco. the government scheme is part of plans to almost eliminate smoking by the end of the decade. ministers will also consult on whether cigarette companies should be forced to include advice on quitting inside each pack. aru na iyengar reports. the free vape policy is being dubbed "swap to stop." almost one in five smokers will receive the free vaping kits and advice on how to stop smoking as part of a £45 million measure, and it will be run by local authorities. if it helps with people quitting, then that would be a good way to start.

i don't know if it's the best alternative but it is definitely better than smoking. are you a smoker? lam, yeah. i've been smoking for a long time. so it would be nice to make a change and try and stop. pregnant women will also receive up to £400 of vouchers to encourage them to stop smoking. it's believed 9% of women still smoke during pregnancy. currently 13% of people in england are smokers. the effects of smoking costs the nhs millions of pounds every year, and that's not including the effects on the economy from people being ill and out of work. the government pledged in 2019 to put measures in place to end smoking by 2030. anti—smoking campaigners have welcomed today's measures but say they should go much further. we are very encouraged by the latest developments, but they are not enough. i mean, vaping is a very good way for smokers to quit, we know that if you give pregnant smokers shopping vouchers that will encourage them to quit and increase their success rate too,

but we are talking about a pittance, you know, tens of millions compared to the hundreds of millions that are needed to end smoking. whilst giving out vapes to adults, the government is also cracking down on vape sales to under 18s, earmarking £3 million to tackle this. the new vaping policy is expected to be rolled out over a two—year period. aruna iyengar, bbc news. the singer tony christie, who announced injanuary that he'd been diagnosed with dementia, has unveiled plans to record thank you for being a friend on behalf of the music for dementia campaign. the track will be used to mark the third annual thank you day, which aims to recognise the work done by britain's unsung carers. tim muffett went to meet him. she's my greatest help, so, you know, i'm very fortunate. he is very loved. tony christie has been married to sue for 55 years, but there are new challenges ahead.

suddenly, about 18 months ago, i'm struggling with my crossword thinking, "what the hell is wrong with me?" i started complaining to my wife sue and she said, "let's go and see a specialist." she said, "yeah, you've got the beginning of dementia." i'm very proud of the fact that i am still here working and i am not ashamed of what i've got. we're thinking positive. i still meet people i've known for donkey's years. the only thing is i forget their names. it can feel overwhelming for you, the people around you. _ back injanuary, tony talked about his diagnosis on the breakfast sofa. i have met a lot of people who have got it, and they are worried about it. and i am not worried about it. how has that helped, do you think? i have been stopped so many times by different people in the shops or streets, who thanked me for going on tv and saying, you know, not to be afraid of dementia,

there is nothing to be ashamed about it. they have actually gone to be tested themselves. yes. # thank you for being a friend. # travel down a road and back again...# tony's latest project came about because of his diagnosis. the charity music for dementia asked him to record a song for thank you day, which began in 2021... all: thank you. ..a way of paying tribute to people and communities who made a difference during the pandemic. the third annual thank you day will be sunday 2nd july, and tony's recording of this song, thank you for being a friend, will be the official anthem. it'll be finished over the next few weeks and released at the end of may. # thank you for being a friend.# it was originally a hit for andrew gold in 1978, it is a song tony loves. # show me the way to amarillo...#

but for many, this is the tune for which tony will always be best known, (is this the way to) amarillo. first released in 1971, it finally reached the top of the charts in 2005 when rereleased for comic relief. did you know it was going to be such a massive hit? # sha—la—la la—la—la—la—la. ..# is it ever a struggle to stay positive? not at the moment, no. the specialist that actually did the tests on me said the fact that i was a singerfor a living and music was forever around me, music is one of the top therapies for dementia. tony christie has a packed 12 months ahead — live shows, two new albums and an undimmed determination to live life to the full. tim muffett, bbc news. before we go, just a clarification on the story earlier, about the cbi boss tony danker being dismissed.

we wish to make it clear that the wider, more serious alleagtions including drug misuse and rape which are still being investigated — are completely unrelated to mr danker. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. we have had some lovely sunshine already today, but arguably the best of the day's weather is behind us. these lovely guys in castleton, derbyshire, are increasingly becoming a thing of a past and we have very strong winds on the way, low pressure is finding itself at the heart of an atlanticjet low pressure is finding itself at the heart of an atlantic jet stream, pressure is falling quickly, over 30 malabar pressure is falling quickly, over 30 mala bar falls pressure is falling quickly, over 30 malabarfalls in pressure is falling quickly, over 30 malabar falls in the last 24 others and this low pressure is an example of what some people refer to as a weather bomb which will bring very strong winds tonight and tomorrow. this is a day of clouding over from the west with outbreaks of rain spreading into western areas, eventually rain in eastern england but probably keeping dry weather for

the north of scotland until the
