Today, doctors in England have decided to strike for five days this week despite a new offer from the government.
The British Medical Association said 83% of its members had voted to continue with the walkout in an online poll over the weekend, with a turnout of 65%.
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was "gutted" by the result, describing it as "irresponsible" given the rising pressure from flu.
The BMA argues that, despite previous pay rises, resident doctors’ pay is still a fifth lower than it was in 2008, once inflation is taken into account.
Adam Fleming and Chris Mason are joined in the studio by BBC health editor Hugh Pym.
Plus, we talk to BBC Europe editor, Katya Adler about the seemingly positive peace talks today in Berlin. With Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky meeting German chancellor, Friedrich Merz and delegates from the US.
