Tens of thousands of junior doctors across England have begun a five-day strike in what's been described as the longest single walkout by doctors in the history of the country's National Health Service.

The strike, the fourth of its kind in the past year, comes after talks between the government and the union representing the doctors over pay and working conditions broke down.
