Prime minister threatens to withdraw NHS training posts for residents doctors if they donât call off strikeGood morning. Keir Starmer is chairing a meeting of the governmentâs Cobra emergency committee later to discuss the Iran war, but domestic issues donât go away and he (or, to be more accurate, his staff) have also found time to write an article for the Times delivering a warning to resident doctors in England planning to go on strike. As Jamie Grierson reports, the PM is threatening to withdraw an offer of thousands of extra NHS training posts for resident doctors if they do not call off the strike within 48 hours.Judging by what Dr Jack Fletcher, chair of the BMA resident doctors committee, told the Today programme in an interview this morning, Starmer may have as little success with his ultimatum as Donald Trump seems to be having with his inconsistent and increasingly apocalyptic warnings to what is left of the Iranian government.Iâm very happy to sit down with the government at any point to try and negotiate a settlement, but I donât think thatâs done by writing in newspapers and issuing threats unilaterally.The government made very late changes to the pay offer, reducing the pay investment and stretching it over a longer period in a way that had not been previously talked about.Ministers effectively moved the goalposts on the deal at the last minute.Two weeks ago, the government took that investment, reduced it, and then stretched it over three years. That is a very, very, very different outcome to the one that we were discussing just two weeks ago. Continue reading...

After hitting a four-year high, the price of oil fell dramatically following Trumpâs comments, while stocks in Asia rallied.Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, said he had spoken with Trump, who saw a chance of an agreement with Iran, but added that Israel would continue its strikes against Iran and Lebanon. Trump believed there was a possibility of âleveraging the mighty achievements obtained by the Israeli and the US military, in order to realise the goals of the war in a deal â a deal that will preserve our vital interestsâ, the Israeli prime minister claimed in a video statement released by his office.Israel said it had launched âwide-scaleâ strikes on Iran on Monday morning, while Tehran continued to fire missiles at the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The Israeli military also claimed to have hit struck the main security headquarters of Iranâs Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as part of a âwave of strikes that was completed a short while ago in the heart of Tehranâ.An Israeli strike also hit Beirutâs southern suburbs on Monday, Agence France-Presse quoted state media as saying, hours after the Israeli army issued an order for residents of the area to evacuate.
