nhs bosses are calling on both the government and the bma to find a breakthrough urgently.he uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making the headlines. rishi sunak has used rafjets and helicopters for domestic flights more frequently than the uk's previous three prime ministers, the bbc can reveal. the pm's been accused of hypocrisy for flying short journeys domestically, given his pledges to curb carbon emissions, but he has said air travel was the most effective use of his time. police are investigating the death of a ten—year—old girl in surrey as murder. the girl's body was found inside a home on hammond road in woking in the early hours of yesterday. herfamily is being supported by specialist officers and police say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with her death. a light aircraft has made a forced landing on a main commuter road in gloucestershire after suspected engine failure. the incident happened on the aao at golden valley, close to the village of churchdown, near cheltenham. a police spokesperson said, "no—one was injured "and

should mean, are either bma?egotiation? >> well , look, i negotiation? >> well, look, i think that the government have got caught in this mantra that they can't afford to pay awards because of the impact on inflation. now, we all want to see inflation come down, but as i say, the institute for public policy and research hardly a left wing organisation , say that a 10% pay organisation, say that a 10% pay award would make an a minimum impact on inflation. meanwhile, this this dispute, i reckon to date has probably cost £1 billion and that's going to get worse . the impact on the worse. the impact on the patients on these long waiting lists will have a long term effect on their health. if you're waiting, let's say take a straightforward operation like a hip replacement. but if you're having to wait over a year , your having to wait over a year, your condition continues to deteriorate. you end up having more complex surgery , you end up more complex surgery, you end up having a longer stay in hospital, which would c

nhs bosses are calling on both the government and the bma to find a breakthrough urgently. so how much does a junior doctor earn? well ,the term covers someone just out of medical school right up to someone with more than ten years experience. so our health correspondentjim reed asked twojunior doctors to show him their payslips. pay really is at the centre of this dispute. so let's talk you through two real—life examples ofjunior doctors, starting with dr robert gittings. he is just finishing his first year as a junior doctor, working full time, so around 48 hours a week, in the infectious diseases ward of a big london hospital. and we asked robert to share his payslip with us. as you'll see, he's paid a basic wage ofjust over £14 an hour. but then there are extra payments to cover night shifts and weekends, which are compulsory. he doesn't have a choice in doing those. his full take home pay, then, injune, aftertaxes, deductions, student loan and so on was just over £2,000. it would bring his annual salary to just about £37,000, including those extra payments. he says he'

deputy chair of the bma council.il 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. 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,

was going to makthe bma knows thaty knows >> the point that i was going to makthe bma knows that they'reto achieve 35. the question is whether you can exert enough leverage on the government to give you something that's reasonable. now, even in the scenario that they the outside scenario that they did get 35, all that would did get the 35, all that would do is make up for the loss of pay do is make up for the loss of pay in real terms over the last over the last 14 years or so. but look , you can't ignore the but look, you can't ignore the context, context is everything and the context is that in this country at the moment, workers are suffering the tightest squeeze on wages. absolutely. >> i agree with you. if housing, for example , were cheaper, then for example, were cheaper, then the doctors wouldn't be feel the other part and the other strike for higher and the other part of the of course, is at the context, of course, is at the context, of course, is at the same we're being the same time as we're being told workers, got to told as workers, you've got to tighten your belt. >> some o

and the government line is that is a final offer and in line with the pay review body so the bma arer are now balloting members again who are junior doctors are now balloting members again who arejunior doctors in england about extending their strike mandate beyond the end of this month. we learnt today a bit more about the impact of strikes. the figures covering the latest four—day walk—out byjunior doctors in walk—out by junior doctors in england walk—out byjunior doctors in england which ended yesterday it revealed nearly 62,000 appointments and operations postponed at hospitals, mental health trusts and community trust and if you look at the impact of all the strikes in the nhs it in england since the end of last year, is getting on for nearly 900,000 postponements. this is the concern of health leaders, that this carries on into the autumn and may be the winter in england with a bigger impact on patients and real problems in trying to reduce the backlog. problems in trying to reduce the backlou. . ~ problems in trying to reduce the backlou. ., ~ , ., , problems in trying to redu

the bma, the doctors union says it is not enough. says our years of below inflation rises. let's talk about it doctor thatis rises. let's talk about it doctor that is further along in her career. this doctor graduated from medical school in 2011, more than ten years ago. she currently works part—time, three days a week because she has a young family. she has taken three years out of her nhs training over the last decade to have children and go on maternity leave. she is what is called a paediatric registrar. in hospital, she can be in charge of the whole children. ward, or in charge of paediatric a and e. let's look at her wage slip. she earns a basic wage of £28 an hour. that is double what robert earns who we were talking about earlier on. extra payments for night shift and weekends. that would bring her take home pay injuly to just over £2000, bearing in mind she is part—time, she works three days a week. if she was working full time give you a comparison, she would earn approximately £69,000 in total each year. she says this disp

we've accepted in full the recommendations of the pay review body and we call on the bma to end the strikesiting for their operations. more consultant strikes are planned for september and october. the dispute is far from being resolved. hugh pym, bbc news. japan has begun releasing treated radioactive waste water from the fukushima nuclear plant into the pacific ocean. it follows the disaster in 2011, when the plant went into meltdown after a tsunami and water was used to cool its reactors. the authorities say the procedure is safe, but there is concern from neighbouring countries. our tokyo correspondent shaimaa khalil reports. it might not look like it at first glance, but this picturesque coastline is now at the heart of a huge regional controversy. for the first time, treated radioactive water from fukushima's crippled nuclear power plant would be pumped into the ocean. and this is the moment it was released. this goes back to 2011 whenjapan's most powerful earthquake triggered a tsunami that swept through the east coast, killing more than 18,000 people and causing the worst nuclear di

the bma said the government needed to offer a credible pay rise. none of us want to be on strike.his into context, full pay restoration over the course of a year would cost £1 billion net. that is what we are after, £1 billion. these strikes have cost well over that. so they are put in party politics over common sense and logic right now. we can speak now to adam, who represents many of the trusts. in terms of the impact of these strikes, give me your assessment. it strikes, give me yourassessment. it is difficult to gauge just at the moment, a few hours into this latest round of strikes, with their particular impact so far. we have had from trust reporting that there is disruption once again, and we know that cumulatively over the course of recent months, more than 800,000 procedures, operations, appointments and had to be rescheduled. so unfortunately it does mean more disruption for patients, it is disruptive for staff as well in terms of cover having to be brought across, affecting the quality of services across the piece. it is frustrating for the wider nhs, which is so keen

so the bma are holding a rally here in whitehall this afternoon, just outside downing street . outsidefour day doctors strike and they are asking, of course for 35. what i'm joined now by dr. tal ellenbogen. he is in his fourth year of surgical training in nottingham . tal, thank you in nottingham. tal, thank you very much for talking to us. and the government have offered 8.8% as an average and they say that's a fair and final offer. yeah. what do you make of that ? yeah. what do you make of that? >> well, 8.8% is less than the rate of inflation for the past year at 11. so it's another real terms pay cut imposed on us on top of 14 years of real terms, pay top of 14 years of real terms, pay cuts . pay cuts. >> what's happened here is that we've been stolen off £6 an houn we've been stolen off £6 an hour. steve barclay and rishi sunak are offering us £1.40. >> if a burglar took £6 off you and gave you £1.40 back, is it unreasonable to ask for the rest back and also, is it realistic to expect the nhs to run on the goodwill of doctors who are taking a pay cut year on year on year until do

chair of the bma.st midlands junior doctors committee, jamshid khan , says the government should pay junior doctors fairly if it wants waiting lists to go down. >> the government has refused to come to the negotiating table , come to the negotiating table, so we've got a very clear demand which is we want to be paid a bit more than £14 an hour. so to restore our pay back to the levels it was in 2008 would be to bring our pay up from £14 now to bring our pay up from £14 now to £19. now the government's unwilling to invest in the staff. we're people who are staff. we're the people who are going down the waiting going to bring down the waiting list if they're not paying list. and if they're not paying us, means that the us, it just means that the services are to get worse services are going to get worse to people are still in a serious condition after a car crashed into a campsite in pembrokeshire. >> nine people were hurt when the vehicle flipped and rolled ploughing into them at the newgale site on satu
