00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotline.
00:04 The European countries are having a strike again. This time it happened in the UK.
00:09 British first-class doctors started a strike for three days in a row from Wednesday.
00:15 The British Medical Association, which represents 50,000 first-class doctors,
00:18 cannot reach an agreement with the government on the amount of pay increase.
00:22 The British government proposed to increase the pay of 8% to 10% for first-class doctors.
00:27 But the British Medical Association believes that 35% increase is necessary to catch up with the high-risk inflation.
00:34 Because the government did not propose a final pay increase before the deadline set by the British Medical Association,
00:40 the British government launched a strike again.
00:43 This strike will disrupt British medical services,
00:46 and cause the intervention of millions of patients.
00:49 This will seriously affect the demand for high-speed medical services in the UK in the winter.
00:55 The London Hospital has even announced the closure of emergency departments.
00:58 The London Hospital also called on people to use emergency services only in real emergency situations.
01:04 But the British Medical Association explained that the strike they launched was supported by the public.
01:09 They can understand that the salary of a first-class doctor is not compatible with their professional skills.
01:14 The British Medical Association also said that if the British government ignores their demand for pay increases,
01:19 they will launch a strike for six consecutive days next January.
01:25 What do we want?
01:26 Fair pay!
01:27 When do we want it?
01:28 Now!
01:29 The British medical association has called on a large number of first-class doctors to respond to the strike.
01:34 They put down their work and stood outside the hospital, shouting slogans and raising their hands.
01:38 They protested that the first-class doctors' salary is too low and unfair to them.
01:42 Some people even wrote on the sign "You will lose us"
01:46 and it is happening now.
01:48 They hope that the British government will not let the crisis worsen.
01:51 Some of the strike doctors even changed the song to mock the government.
01:56 I want to know when you pay us back.
02:01 The European Ocean Tunnel Company's employees were unhappy with the company's low pay.
02:07 They launched a strike without warning, which led to the closure of the tunnel.
02:10 The train connecting the UK and France was forced to stop.
02:14 As Christmas is coming, the station is full of passengers.
02:21 We learned about the strike when we arrived here at the station.
02:25 It's an outrage that we are stuck here this close to Christmas.
02:30 What are the strikers thinking about?
02:32 Do they want people to travel by train or not?
02:35 How am I going to get home to my wife and my children?
02:38 It's going to be a lonely Christmas on the streets of Paris.
02:41 According to Hua Hong, the strike was a success.
02:45 The tunnel will resume operation on Thursday night.
02:48 But the strike has caused the closure of about 30 trains.
02:52 Thousands of people have been affected.
02:55 The strike continues.
02:58 The strike continues.
03:00 The strike continues.
