is all too clear. i feel frustrated and i feel anxious, and ifeel anxious on behalf of our patients and their families around the delays to care. and that's a cumulative effect of the strikes over many months now. claps don't pay the bills! in scotland, a deal�*s agreed with the junior doctors�* union, but in england, there's been another strike. the union said a 6% pay award wouldn't be nearly enough to cover past inflation. this dispute has to continue until this government recognises that we're not worth less than we were in 2008. are you prepared to continue for months, maybe into next year? yes. the bma later confirmed strike action would continue, but ministers said there would be no more talks. this settlement, a fair and final settlement allows us to reflect this huge contribution that doctors make,

but to give them a pay rise of over £3,000 and then get back to focusing on cutting the waiting times. strikes by health workers in england have been causing disruption since the end of last year, but before that, a backlog had been building up, leaving some patients enduring long waits for treatment. this is my... janice used to be a paralympic swimmer and has won medals. she has a health condition, meaning she's deaf—blind. she also has arthritis and needs a knee replacement. but she's already been waiting for a year. i take a lot of heavy pain relief. i take pain relief four times a day. that includes morphine. last night, it woke me up, the pain wakes me up in the night. i then have to sort of get up, you know, the next day and really get on with life. janice says losing her mobility would be a serious problem, but she doesn't have a date

for the operation. she uses her drum set to keep her spirits up, but the waiting is getting harder. hugh pym, bbc news. hollywood actors are poised to strike after talks between their union and major studios and streaming giants broke down. negotiators for the screen actors guild unanimously recommended a walk—out which is expected to be approved by the union's board shortly. the dispute has centred on pay and the effect on the industry of artificial intelligence. with many productions already stalled by the writers�* strike, the american film and television industry could now draw to a complete halt in a manner that hasn't been seen since the 1960s. 0ur correspondent sophie long has been outside the sag building in west hollywood. what we are told is that the leaders

of the sag—aftra union are meeting inside the building behind me, and it's a bit of a formality, but they will take one final vote on strike action and then we're expecting a news conference. but it does seem at this stage after talks collapsed last night, the deadline was at midnight pacific time last night. talks collapsed despite the involvement of a federal mediator. so it does now seem almost certain that sag—aftra members, which include 160,000 film and television actors, almost every actor across the country will nowjoin the writers, the 11,000 members of the wga who've been striking since may on the picket lines. so this will be a huge crisis for the hollywood television and film industry. a double strike of this nature hasn't happened since the 1960s, when ronald reagan was president of the screen actors guild. so it will be a major development. we're still waiting for confirmation that it will go ahead, but it does at this stage now seem almost certain, very

very big development there, considering, as you say, we haven't seen anything like this since the 60s, but we've heard from disney's chief, bob iger, calling the demands unrealistic. i mean, what's the prospect of resolving this? well, it does seem like there's a deadlock. the writers have been out with similar grievances since the beginning of may, and there's been no further movement on talks between them and the organisation that represents the studios. now the studios are saying that they're deeply disappointed that sag—aftra have decided to walk away from negotiations. they say that it will result in a deepening financial hardship, notjust for actors and for writers who are striking, but all the other people who are involved in the hollywood film and television industry. you've got to think about all the industries that are connected to that. but sag—aftra say that the studios ratherfail to properly, meaningfully engage on several issues and on the issue of artificial intelligence. they said that they were

completely stonewalled. so at the moment, we're looking at a complete deadlock. the writers have already been on strike for over two months. there's no movement there. and now we're going to see the actors go out with them. so for long reports in there from west hollywood. the actor kenneth bana who was the 0ppenheimer opening says why it's important for his colleagues to take action. i says why it's important for his colleagues to take action. i mean sofidafi colleagues to take action. i mean solidarity with _ colleagues to take action. i mean solidarity with my _ colleagues to take action. i mean solidarity with my screen - colleagues to take action. i mean solidarity with my screen actors i solidarity with my screen actors guild colleagues, i've been a member for 30 years. there is an exit central threats and it it's important that it gets resolved quickly but it's critical because the consequences beyond the member service of sag aftra is significant. we're keeping ourfingers crossed it gets resolved quickly. the taliban in afghanistan has ordered teacher training centres to be closed.

the taliban called them unnecessary and ineffective and said too much resources were being allocated to them. the nearly 4000 staff are to be moved to a new department or employed as teachers in schools. our world service south asia editor anbarasan ethirajan has been following events from here in the newsroom. so these teacher training institutes like in any other country, they play a crucial role in the afghan education system. what they do is they train teachers after getting some academic qualification, and then they will be deployed to various schools across the country. and they were part of the ministry of education. the taliban run administration is saying that we do not need such a department because they are very ineffective and totally unnecessary. "we want to create a very dynamic and very responsive system, a new department, so that it can address the needs of the country as well as bring quality education".

"and that is why we want to shut this particular department". now, on the other hand, the teachers are saying that we have no guarantee of getting anotherjob at the moment, even though the taliban, they have been promising them that they will be moved to the new department or they will be sent to schools or islamic seminaries. but one afghan teacher, he was putting this in context, saying that, "i came to this job, i got this job after open competition". "now i haven't got any otherjob". and now i have to find anotherjob to to earn a living for my family. and that is a big, big trouble in afghanistan, given the current condition, the economic conditions. so these 4000 teachers are facing an uncertainty and not only them and also the civil employees, the support staff who have been working in these institutes are also facing a very difficult situation. and does this have a wider effect on the education system as well as a whole? and how are people responding to this news in the wider public?

so these teachers are very crucial for the normal schools and the secondary schools when students go there. the teachers are trained from these institutes and then they are sent to various schools. now, the question is, who will replace these these teachers? now, the question is, who will replace these teachers? are they going to get new teachers or whether this new department is going to take care of those schools and what kind of curriculum the taliban are now proposing to these schools? that is also another question. many of these teachers have been trained in the normal education sector. what will they do if they go to any islamic seminary? now, you have to see this in a bigger context of what taliban administration has done to education since they took over in august 2021. now, secondary schools for girls have remained shut since they took over. now, taliban say that a clear, good, atmosphere within the framework of sharia needs to be created so that these schools can reopen. they have not elaborated on that. we don't know when these schools will reopen. already, women have been banned from attending universities. and now you see this. now teacher training centers

are also being closed. so this is a very uncertain and difficult period for the education sector itself in afghanistan. the united nations announced on thursday, that the bodies of at least 87 people, allegedly killed by sudan's, rapid support forces paramilitary group and their allies, have been buried in a mass grave in the country's darfur region. the victims were killed in the capital of west darfur, betweenjune 13th and 21st. the un has urged the rsf — to stop targeting and killing civilians. we spoke to the un human rights spokesperson seif ma—g0—ngo earlier spokesperson seif mag0ngo earlier we interviewed a number of eyewitnesses who left, fled the area and who had fled. the families having been denied the right to bury those bodies of their loved ones in the main cemetery in the capital of west darfur in ghana.

the biggest challenge is access. there is, of course, the security situation is very difficult. getting into the these areas to do on site verification is difficult. but we've seen multiple reports and we've talked to multiple witnesses who've told us that the situation in this part of sudan, west darfur is dire. there is ethnically targeted killings. you'll remember recently the governor of west darfur, an ethnic muslim gentleman, was killed in cold blood shortly after he had been arrested by the rsf and the arab allies. so we're concerned about the multiplicity of issues, the killings, the sexual violence, the ethnic dimension of this violence, and the continued fighting in sudan, which seems not to have no end.

and now we see an extra element of these human rights violations, the total callous treatment of bodies and seemingly on ethnic basis. i think this kind of thing definitely needs to stop if we are to get, if sudan is to get anywhere towards a peaceful resolution and future. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. lot of money to take people to the vets. these are free. this lot of money to take people to the vets. these are free.— vets. these are free. this mobile veterinary _ vets. these are free. this mobile veterinary clinic _ vets. these are free. this mobile veterinary clinic treats _ vets. these are free. this mobile veterinary clinic treats pets - vets. these are free. this mobile | veterinary clinic treats pets belong to on this and vulnerably housed people. it's run by veterinary students at the university of nottingham. students at the university of nottingham-—

he told former england footballer gary neville that at the age of six, he was molested by a friend of his alcoholic mother's. his father was absent, living in africa. by eight, he was dealing drugs. finally, when 12, he was adopted by what he describes as an amazing family. he no longer has contact with his birth parents. after a public falling out with his then coach at spurs, jose mourinho, he contemplated ending his career. i rememberjust looking in the mirror and it sounds dramatic, but i was literally staring at the mirror and i was asking if i could retire now, at 2a, from doing the thing i love. for me, that was heartbreaking. he says he believes the time is right to tell his story in a bid to help others, but admits his hand was forced after the tabloids discovered he was in rehab in america this summer. support from the world of football has flooded in, including the fa's president, prince william. for a sport often criticised for its approach to mental health, it was football, dele says, that saved his life. natalie pirks, bbc news.

take the queen's coronation dress. painstakingly embroidered, look closely, and you'll see the names of her children and grandchildren, and pictures of her two jack russell terriers, bluebell and beth. queens throughout the 20th and now in the 21st century have had a degree of choice about the embroidery which goes on all of their clothing for the coronation, and it's wonderful to see her majesty's interest in the natural world, and that acknowledgement of herfamily upon her dress and her robe. also on display, the coronation necklace worn by queen camilla. 0riginally made for queen victoria, it's been worn at every coronation since 1902. and the glove and girdle, both worn by king charles's grandfather george vi at his coronation in 1937. there are very few rooms in london which are big enough to act as a stand—in for westminster abbey, but this is one of them. the ballroom at buckingham palace.

so in the run—up to the coronation, this is where the king and queen rehearsed for their big day. teams of experts were employed to craft the outfits and upholstery in time for may the sixth, spending hundreds of hours either restoring or creating brand—new items, including the screen used to shield the king from view during the most sacred part of the ceremony, the anointing. chorus: # long live the king #. it was the key moment in the coronation where we were able to acknowledge the commonwealth. so it's in the design of a tree, and every leaf on the tree has hand embroidered upon it the name of a commonwealth country. last seen protecting the king and queen from the inclement weather on their way to the abbey, the diamond jubilee state coach, now on display in the palace quadrant. with its electric windows and air conditioning, it again illustrates how history was brought up—to—date on coronation day.

sarah campbell, bbc news, buckingham palace. time now for the weather. hello there. it's been a familiar story again today. cool, some sunshine and some showers. the next few days, though, could be turning wet and windy. this area of cloud is a developing area of low pressure that will bring the wind and the rain up from the southwest. and ahead of that, whilst the showers that we had today will fade away, we've got a bit of thicker cloud bringing some patchy rain northwards across wales, north west england, northern ireland and southern scotland. and they're probably going to be a lot of cloud around overnight. so a little bit warmer than last night away for northern scotland where we've got single figure temperatures. but let's focus on the southwest. this is where we've probably got the worst of the weather, i think, for friday. as well as the rain, we've got these strong, gusty winds, gusting 50 miles an hour perhaps, and some rough seas. and that rain is going to be with us for much of the day. before it does clear away later, it could turn heavy and thundery. that rain will push further north and eastwards across more of england and wales,

up into northern ireland, maybe eventually into the south of scotland. something a bit drier for the north of the country. could be muggy for a while in the southeast, but if anything, those temperatures are likely to be even lower than they were today in the wind and the rain. and it's all due to that area of low pressure deepening as it heads across the uk. it's going to be sitting around into saturday, lots of isobars on the chart, an indication it's going to be unusually windy, really, for this time of the year. and the rain when it comes could be heavy and thundery. of course, it's going to stay on the cool side as well. focus on the winds, though, for saturday, and the strongest winds will be across england and wales. it's in this area that we're more likely to have some impacts because of the strength of the wind, and the strongest winds could be along some southern coasts and over the hills, but particularly gusty when those showers arrive and it doesn't take long for them to set off. we've got a lot of downpours developing widely across england and wales where it's windy. not quite so windy for scotland and northern ireland, but again, some heavy and thundery rain is possible.

all depressing the temperatures, of course. that area of low pressure still with us, then on saturday will continue to just drift northwards, could take the worst of the weather away with it as well. but, if anything, it may be a windier day for scotland to northern ireland, perhaps the north of england, not quite so windy on sunday further south. and there may well be some sunshine around, but still some heavy thundery showers, wetter weather in the north and the top temperatures 20—21 celsius.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. today's offer is final. today's offer is final. there will be no more talks on pay. there will be no more talks on pay. we will not negotiate we will not negotiate again on this year's again on this year's settlements, and no amount settlements, and no amount of strokes will change our decision. of strokes will change our decision. of strikes will change our decision. this dispute has to continue until this government recognises that we are not less worth less and we were in 2008. are you prepared to continue for months?

maybe into next year? yes.
