00:00Moving on to the United Kingdom, resident doctors in England are going on strike for
00:05five days to demand better pay, a move that threatens to disrupt public health services
00:10due to the current flu outbreak.
00:12The strike called by the British Medical Association began on Wednesday morning, after talks between
00:17the British Medical Association and the government to avoid it fail.
00:21This is a 14th strike by this group since March 2023.
00:26And group resident doctors who make up almost half of the medical staff in English hospitals
00:32are demanding a paid price of more than 20%.
00:35In addition to the salary issue, the British Medical Association has linked the protests
00:39to the shortage of specialized training places, arguing that thousands of qualified doctors
00:44cannot find work despite the long waiting lists in the National Health Services.
