Tensions rising ahead of resident doctors’ six-day strike | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

Tens of thousands of resident doctors in England are to stage a six-day walkout over pay and jobs from 7am on Tuesday. NHS England said hospital teams across the country will be working to minimise disruption for patients during the walkout. Publicly, both sides are saying the strikes can be called off. Privately, they are ramping up. The government and the British Medical Association (BMA) have never been further apart. Image: Resident doctors on the picket line during a previous strike. Pic: PA The language is becoming more heated and each has accused the other of undermining talks and moving goalposts. The prime minister has intervened. Extra specialty training places requested by the BMA as part of the package to end the dispute have now been taken away following a 48-hour ultimatum. The BMA’s response was to accuse the government of undermining its own ambition of restoring the NHS to a fully functioning health service. NHS boss Sir Jim Mackey, appointed to realise Labour’s manifesto pledge of reduced waiting times, is renowned as a pragmatist. …

Resident doctors lose jobs package and will strike next week | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

Resident doctors in England are primed to go on strike next week after a deadline set by the prime minister arrived without a deal agreed. Sir Keir Starmer issued an ultimatum on Tuesday, saying the government would withdraw its offer of thousands of NHS jobs, extra training places, and pay reforms if the walkout wasn’t called off within 48 hours. With no agreement reached, the medics – formerly known as junior doctors – will strike for six days from 7 April. The British Medical Association’s (BMA) resident doctors’ committee has maintained the government’s pay rise offer does not go far enough to deal with the cost of living. Sir Keir has pointed out the 3.5% proposal is above inflation and would take their total raise over three years to 35%. Writing in The Times earlier this week, he said strikes would be “reckless” and damage the NHS. But the committee’s chair, Dr Jack Fletcher, said the government’s approach was “extremely disappointing”. Using the offer of more training places as a “pawn” in negotiations was “simply …

Doctors striking over pay (Image: Getty) Resident doctors in England will strike for six days from April 7 in the ongoing row over pay and jobs, the British Medical Association (BMA) has announced. The latest round of industrial action will start just after the Easter long weekend from 7am on April 7 until 6.59am on April 13, the union said. The strike will be the longest single walkout of the long-running dispute and comes after more than two months of talks since the new year. The union’s Doctors Committee chairman Jack Fletcher said the Government “will need to act fast” to prevent the six-day walkout. He said: “We cannot ignore that, thanks to global events, economic indicators now point to years of greatly increased inflation. “We are simply not going to put an offer to doctors that risks locking in further erosion of pay at a time when doctors continue to leave the UK for other countries. “We are not closing the door on talks. “We remain willing to negotiate and are eager to get …

Resident doctors in England to strike for six days after Easter bank holiday | UK News

Resident doctors – formerly known as junior doctors – are to strike for six days in the ongoing row over pay and jobs, the British Medical Association announced. The BMA said it was taking industrial action as the government had not done enough to address their concerns over pay and job shortages. Both sides have been conducting more than two months of talks since the start of 2026. The planned walk-out is due to start from 7 April at 7am, just after the Easter bank holiday in England, until 6.59am on 13 April. The Department of Health and Social Care said the union had rejected a “historic” deal which “would have seen more frequent and fairer pay rises, more training places from this year, and more money in resident doctors’ pockets”. It will be the 15th round of strikes by resident doctors in England since 2023. Health leaders estimated the walkout could cost the NHS up to £300 million.

Resident Evil at 30: how Capcom’s horror opus has survived and thrived | Games

Resident Evil at 30: how Capcom’s horror opus has survived and thrived | Games

Published by Sam Flores

To many of us playing and writing about video games in the 1990s, Resident Evil seemed to come out of nowhere. The emerging PlayStation and Saturn consoles were all about slick, bright arcade conversions – the shiny thrills of Daytona and Tekken – and Japanese publisher Capcom was in a rut of coin-op conversions and endless sequels to Street Fighter and Mega Man. Scary games were rare at the time and mostly confined to the PC. So when the news of a horror title named Biohazard (the Japanese name for the series) started to emerge in 1995, it caught the attention of games journalists as it seemed radically out of step with prevailing trends. Games were about power, but as early demos quickly revealed, Resident Evil was about vulnerability. Thirty years later, it’s still here. The series has sold more than 180m copies worldwide, with 11 core titles and dozens of spinoffs and remakes, as well as film, television and anime tie-ins. Its characters and monsters are icons, its tropes now embedded in game design …

How old is Leon in Resident Evil Requiem? RE9 hero’s age revealed

How old is Leon in Resident Evil Requiem? RE9 hero’s age revealed

Published by Daniella Wilson

Gaming’s handsomest zombie slayer Leon S Kennedy is back in Resident Evil Requiem, and older than ever – but how old, exactly? While he’s aged very well in a world where you certainly wouldn’t begrudge someone a few stress lines, it isn’t immediately obvious what his true age is. So, for a quick overview on how old RE9’s ageing protagonist is, here’s what you need to know. How old is Leon in Resident Evil Requiem? RE9 hero’s age revealed Leon Kennedy is approximately 51 years old in Resident Evil Requiem. This isn’t explicitly stated in the game, but we can roughly work it out by piecing a few clues together. First things first, Leon’s date of birth is 31 July 1977. This means he was around 21 when he first debuted as an ass-kicking RPD officer in Resident Evil 2, which takes place in 1998. While some Capcom statements prior to launch implied that the game was set in 2026, in-game newspapers confirm that the game is set in 2028. Want to see this content? …
