they put out another statement. this of the operation was implement permitted following the discovery of us but expected pipe mum. just after 6:30am this morning. the devices have been made say. —— pipe bomb. those pictures from close to the cemetery. this is a display and a gathering by dissident republicans openly opposed to the good friday agreement. the police statement says that the devices were located in the same area where clothes worn by

participants were removed under the covers of umbrellas and burned. during that public safety operation, operations again had petrol bombs, bottles and stones thrown at their vehicles. that was the case yesterday with police vehicles. no officers were injured. police have left the scene but the assistant chief constable has been saying last week, we warned we had strong community intelligence to draw police into serious public disorder in dairy and the news editor launched attacks on police —— derry. the discovery of these devices was a further sinister and worrying

banners is something we've seen since december, nhs staff out on picket lines. today, it'sjunior 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're walking out for. a four—day strike from this morning, straight through until saturday morning. the 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, monday the 17th. nhs bosses say they're worried this will put immense pressure on the system. we feel for patients who are affected. we will reschedule those procedures as quickly as possible, but this is a significant set of industrial action that will cause major disruption.

£14 an hour saving lives! junior doctors can have several years experience or be newly qualified, like ben. he left medical school summer and doesn't know how long he will stay in the nhs. so, i've had to take time off for my mental health, with stress and anxiety, and i don't really see how i'm going to be ableto get through even the first two years of training. the morale is at an all—time low. i don't remember the last time i went home and felt like i've done a wonderfuljob, everyone got the care they wanted, the care they deserved. i didn't choose this- career to upset anybody. i came to help people _ and i want to be able to do that, and i want to do that i with the support of my colleagues and i want to be appropriately paid for that. | the nhs is open for business, but it's far from business as usual. the priority over the next few days will be emergencies, so a&e, maternity, neonatal and trauma. senior doctors will be called in to cover thesejunior doctors who are on strike,

but that means cancelling planned appointments and operations, maybe as many as 350,000 of them. including philip fisher's surgery to suffer constant ear infections. he says it shouldn't have come to this. when i received the phone call, i was gutted. i ended up crying, because the pain — unbearable. now, what do i do? what do i do now? i just have to wait. why is it cancelled? who's accountable? how many more people are like me? at the heart of this is pay. the junior doctors say it would take a 35% increase to make up for years of below—inflation wages. that, says the government, is unreasonable. my door is open and we remain willing to engage constructively with the junior doctors, but clearly a demand of 35%,

but clearly, a demand of 35%, which would involve some junior doctors receiving over £20,000 more in terms of their basic pay, is not reasonable to your viewers, to those who have to balance the wider issues of the economy and getting inflation down. ministers have offered other health unions a pay deal including a 5% increase, so there is quite a gap between that and what the bma wants. including a 5% increase, so there's quite a gap between that and what the bma wants. i feel like we've been open - and transparent this whole time. we've put our ask out - into the public domain and tried multiple times to speak— with mr barclay, to have an honest conversation, but it's him that's been putting up brick walls, - stone walls, all sorts i of roadblocks to prevent this dispute from progressing. with no side of ether side backing down yet, one option may well be to call in the conciliatory service acas. catherine burns, bbc news at the leicester royal infirmary., a quick pointer to the life page

because so much information available there from doctors, from patients, their accounts in terms of cancelled operations and appointments. the government's position and of course, international comparisons. head there as lots of you very useful information on that story here in the uk. ukraine says 174,000 square kilometres — that's roughly the same area as syria — has been contaminated by landmines since russia's invasion. james waterhouse has 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're 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're 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.

mykola 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, 0leksandr�*s task reaches its crescendo.

a job likely to be replicated for decades. james waterhouse, bbc news, kharkiv region. i want to show you some dramatic images from russia, where a volcano erupted on tuesday releasing a ten—kilometre cloud of smoke and ash into the sky. the volcano is located in the far east of russia in the kamchatka peninsula. nearby areas were smothered in a thick layer of ash with almost ten centimetres of volcanic dust coating some villages. lava flows tumbled from the volcano, melting snow and prompting a warning of mud flows along a nearby highway. so far, no casualties have been reported.

we will get the latest reaction on that in the last of it day's headlines. back in a moment. hello there. we've got some very windy weather on the way tonight and into wednesday. an area of low pressure is developing along the heart of atlantic jet stream. this is causing the pressure to drop explosively. drops of pressure by over 30 millibars in the space of 24 hours, well, these areas of low pressure are sometimes referred to as weather bombs. it will certainly be bringing some strong winds our way over the next 24 hours. now, today, we've already had the best of the sunny weather. through the afternoon, outbreaks of rain will be encroaching from the west, with the winds picking up, as well. that said, we'll hold on to the dry and sunny weather for the north—east of scotland all day. it's overnight tonight that we start to get some strong winds. the first bout of windy weather really affecting wales

and western england. gusts of wind 50 to 70, maybe even over 70mph in the most exposed locations could bring some areas of localised disruption. meanwhile, overnight, we'll see rain blow northwards and eastwards across the country. the winds becoming blustery everywhere and showers will be following to western areas later in the night. temperatures will be similar to those of last night's lows to those of last night's — lows of between 2—6 degrees celsius. tomorrow, a very unsettled day, blustery winds for all of us. outbreaks of rain and plenty of showers around, too, but we'll see some further zones of strong winds. southern wales and southern areas of england could see gusts of wind up to 70mph in places. up to 70mph in places, strong enough to bring some disruption. some disruption, and the winds will get very gusty as well for northern ireland — again, strong enough to bring one or two issues here. aside from the very windy weather, we'll have outbreaks of rain, some thunder mixed in, pushing eastwards across all parts of the country. it'll be cold enough even for a bit of snow mixed in,

particularly across the high ground in northern scotland, mostly above 400 metres elevation. a cold day — temperatures 7—12 degrees, but feeling even colder than that, given the strength of the winds. by the time we get to thursday, the area of low pressure will be working out into the north sea, still close enough to bring plenty of showers, some of these heavy and thundery, maybe even a bit wintry still over the highest ground in scotland, and temperatures continue to struggle — 8—14 degrees — below par for the time of year. we have more unsettled weather to come then through friday but gradually through sunday and monday, it becomes drier and eventually warmer. the first 20 of the year on the charts in london into monday.
