asked two junior doctors to show him their payslips. robert is working full—time in the infectious diseases ward. we asked him to share his payslips with us. just over £14 an hour. then there are extra payments to cover night shifts, which are compulsory. he does have a choice in doing those. his full take—home pay in june after taxes, deductions, student loans and so on is just over £2000. it would bring his annual salary tojust about £2000. it would bring his annual salary to just about £37,000, including those extra payments. he says he's looking for work abroad possibly in australia.
5:39 pm
to be honest, i always wanted to do that even when i was in medical school. what has changed recently, though, is i am not confident that the pay here is going to improve as much as i'd like it to, and if that isn't the case then i would really quite strongly consider staying in australia. so, robert is finishing his first year as a junior doctor, but as doctors get more skill, they can move of these pay bands. let's talk to a doctor further on. move of these pay bands. let's talk to a doctorfurther on. she graduated more than ten years ago, working part—time partly because she has a young family. looking at her wage slip, she brings in a basic wage slip, she brings in a basic wage for our. double what robert was getting paid, also some extra payments here for working in london.
5:40 pm
she works about 30 hours a week part—time to just over £2000. her salary would be roughly £69,000. she said this isn'tjust about wages, but about lighter working conditions. i have seen a decline in sort of the morale, in the working environment, in the safety of our working environment, in our working conditions, in my own sort of living practice. so this is not something i can say maybe it never used to be — i have seen it deteriorate, you know, the team ethos, the team morale. two doctors with very different experiences. the government says its latest pay offer recognises the important workjunior doctors to but it has to balance that against the risk of higher inflation. let's move to the railways because

students in scotland _ reinstated in some way. phil mackie. students in scotland have _ reinstated in some way. phil mackie. students in scotland have been - students in scotland have been allowed to exhibit there —— is there exams using british sign language, but until recently, many scientific terms were missing. almost 20 years since, more than 200 new signs have already been added to the bsl dictionary. here's our science editor victoria gill. an afternoon learning about the science of climate change. true orfalse — plants and oceans remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. this is a lesson taught in british sign language, a language that until recently was missing crucial scientific vocabulary. at this secondary school in glasgow, deaf children are learning newly created signs that have just been added to the bsl dictionary. so this is a sign for greenhouse gases — and that's a new one, i didn't know that one before.
5:47 pm
so in physics, for example, some of the concepts are really abstract, and sign language can help children understand, because it's a visual language. so this is a sign for photosynthesis. so here we have a leaf. and this is the sun. it's light energy and it's absorbed into the leaf, which then creates something. it creates food. it was back in 2004 that students in scotland were officially allowed to do their exams in british sign language. but the scientific terms for science exams just didn't exist so they're being created, still, here at edinburgh university. deaf scientists, educators and sign language experts work together to create the new signs. today, the focus is human biology. you've got the brain, the spinal cord, and then the branching out from the spinal cord.
5:48 pm
spinal cord and central nervous system would also include the brain. yes. so then you would add to that, that symbol, you would add to that sign to include the brain? yes. that becomes the central nervous system, but we need to make sure that we're all in agreement. the scientist leading this project wants to break down the language barriers that she faced in her early career. i was involved in research for 11 years and although i went to numerous meetings, but was never truly involved because i couldn't understand what people were saying — the interpreters weren't qualified. in the last decade, dozens of descriptive scientific signs have been added to the official british sign language glossary. that has just been so important. it's had a huge impact on me. i've been able to have conversations using this vocabulary and it's helped me with my teaching. so i'm passionate about continuing this work, as are the whole team.
5:49 pm
once it's been agreed on, each new biological sign is recorded for the video dictionary. for deaf students, these are more than just words — they're visual explanations. i really like science and i love learning it, and it's easier to learn when we have the signs. it's language that's helping some of the next generation of scientists to understand and talk about the world around them. victoria gill, bbc news in glasgow. fascinating report. the premier league kicks off injust a few hours. can manchester city continue their domination? and arsenal go one better? they have been busy in the transfer market, and harry came's

5:55 pm
pictures coming to us from the west of maui. 55 people killed, but we were hearing from the state authorities, expecting that number to rise significantly through the course of the day. look at that, the pictures from a passenger plane above maui, showing the intensity of the blaze. 0n the ground, this is what is left. so many homes and communities being destroyed. we wait for updates from the authorities, but that's it from today's verified life. bye for now. hello. well, the weekend's just around the corner. let's see how the weather's looking. is it going to rain again? well, rest of today, it's actually not looking too bad at all.
5:56 pm
we had some rain earlier on, but now it's a case of bright or sunny weather. however, low pressure will be very close by through the weekend. this is the satellite picture. you can see it's spinning around here, just to the west of ireland. here's the weather map, and you can see the low pressure basically barrels across the uk through the weekend, giving us that mixed bag. but it's not going to be too bad, i don't think we'll have persistent persistent rain, it'sjust going to be a mixture of sunshine and showers. going to be a mixture end of this afternoon, temperatures 21 in belfast, around 26 in norwich. plenty of bright, dry weather through the course of this evening. then, later on today, we are expecting some rain to move into belfast, western parts of scotland, so glasgow will get some rain, liverpool, perhaps western areas of wales by the early morning. norwich, hull and newcastle waking up to some sunshine early on saturday and around 16 degrees. so here's the forecast for saturday. fairly brisk around western coasts with this breeze around the area of low pressure. the area of low pressure,
5:57 pm
and for many of us, a mixture of those sunny spells and occasional showers. the odd heavier shower, but also lengthy spells of sunshine are forecast. on sunday, i think the showers will be more frequent across the north—west here, so northern ireland, western parts of scotland, perhaps some showers heading towards the south—west of england later on, too. i think drier weather the further east and south—east you are, so again, norwich, a very decent day on sunday, and some parts of the south and the south—east may actually get away with a mostly dry weekend — no showers at all. here's a look at monday and into tuesday. low pressure starting to fizzle away and by tuesday, eventually, we'll see high pressure building in. but monday, a chance of some rain across the south. fine weather for wales, for the north—west of england, so lancashire enjoying some fine weather, too, the lake district should have some sunshine, but scattered showers expected across parts of scotland and a little cooler — 19, i think, to 21 on monday. so let's have a look at the outlook.
