The planned walk-out is due to start from 7 April, just after the Easter bank holiday in England, at 7am until 6.59am on 13 April. The British Medical Association said in a post on X on Wednesday: "Resident doctors have been left with no choice but to strike. "Weeks of negotiations with the Government have failed to deliver enough progress on pay, with the goalposts being moved at the last minute. "We have called six days of industrial action to make the Government listen, stop the game playing, and come back with an offer that delivers fairly on both jobs and pay." British Medical Association Resident 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 a deal done if we can simply recapture the early positive spirit of negotiations. "No strikes need to happen, but Government will need to act fast to prevent them." Mr Fletcher added: "We have been negotiating in good faith for weeks to try and end the simultaneous pay and jobs crises for resident doctors. "Frustratingly we had been making good progress right up until the point, in the last two weeks, when the Government began to shift the goalposts. "As talks progressed it became clear that the money proposed for pay increases was now going to be spread over three years. "This is combined with today's pay review body (DDRB) recommendation of a 3.5% uplift pointing to yet more years in which our pay, at best, barely treads water. "We have made abundantly clear throughout this dispute that our aim is pay restoration, and any deal that did not move us substantially in that direction was not going to fly."

He replaces outgoing boss Tim Davie, who announced his resignation in November after five years in the role, following criticism over the editing ⁠of a Panorama video ​clip of US President Donald Trump. Samir Shah, chairman of the BBC Board, said the new appointment comes as the "stakes have never been higher" for the broadcaster, but members believe they have chosen the right person to lead the organisation. "Now, more than ever, we need a thriving BBC that works for everyone in a complex, uncertain and fast changing world," Mr Brittin, 57, said in a statement. "At its best, it shows us, and the world, who we are. It's an extraordinary, uniquely British asset, with over 100 years of innovation in storytelling, technology and powering creativity." Mr Davie will leave the BBC next week, with Rhodri Talfan Davies, the broadcaster's director of nations, leading in the interim period before Mr Brittin takes over on 18 May. The new director-general intends to appoint a deputy, the corporation said. He will have a salary of £565,000. He takes on the role during a turbulent time for the broadcaster as it faces a multibillion-dollar lawsuit from Mr Trump over the Panorama edit, as well as the fallout over a racial slur being aired during the BAFTAs in February. Mr Brittin said he would join the organisation "with humility, to listen, to learn, to lead, and to serve the public, working hard to earn their trust every day". He added: "This is a moment of real risk, yet also real opportunity." The director-general of the BBC is the broadcaster's chief executive officer and editor-in-chief, responsible for creative, editorial and operational leadership. The appointment of a leader with a big tech background, rather than someone with TV production and broadcasting experience, marks a shift for the corporation in terms of skill set. Some staff and commentators had been hoping for a different kind of change - to see the first female director-general in the corporation's history. But Mr Brittin's announcement had become widely expected after reports he was approved by the BBC board at a meeting last week. Critical period for BBC BBC chairman Mr Shah described the new boss as "an outstanding leader" who has the skills needed to "navigate the organisation through the many changes taking place in the media market and in audience behaviours". He added: "Matt's passion for the BBC, his understanding of the challenges facing the organisation, his commitment to its independence and his determination to maintain the BBC's position as one of the country's greatest national assets were critical factors in the board's decision to appoint him as the 18th director-general." The new appointment comes at a critical time, he said, with the government reviewing the current BBC Royal Charter, which expires at the end of 2027.

"The stakes for the BBC, and the future of public service broadcasting, have never been higher. "The board and I believe Matt is the right person to lead the BBC as it fights for a sustainable future in an uncertain world, for the benefit of audiences and the UK." The chairwoman of the culture, media and sport committee, Dame Caroline Dinenage, congratulated Mr Brittin on his appointment - but said he would have a "significant job on his hands navigating [the BBC] out of a period of turbulence and through a charter review process that will define its purpose and standing beyond the next decade".

Liverpool say an agreement has been reached with the legendary forward to end his "remarkable" nine-year stay at Anfield after this season, when he will become a free agent. Salah's contract, which he signed only last April, will be cut short by a year after a difficult season for the 33-year-old, which has seen him dropped and publicly fall out with head coach Arne Slot. Liverpool's statement read: "Salah expressed his wish to make this announcement to the supporters at the earliest possible opportunity to provide transparency about his future due to his respect and gratitude for them." The Egyptian, one of Liverpool's greatest-ever players, will have his Anfield farewell against Brentford on May 24 on the final day of the Premier League season. Andy Robertson called Salah "the greatest" as he led the tributes, while another team-mate, Cody Gakpo, described him as a "true legend". Salah to leave - YOUR reaction🔴| Transfer Centre LIVE! Liverpool fixtures & scores | FREE Liverpool PL highlights▶️Got Sky? Watch Liverpool games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Salah was signed from Roma for £34m in the summer of 2017 and will leave as Liverpool's third highest goalscorer, having won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Salah, who has lifted seven major trophies as as Liverpool player, can add more silverware before he departs with plenty still to fight for this season. The reigning Premier League champions are in the Champions League quarter-finals against holders Paris Saint-Germain and face Manchester City in the FA Cup last eight. Liverpool are also still fighting to get back in the Champions League next season. Arne Slot's side are fifth in the Premier League, which is expected to be enough to qualify, and have seven games to play. Salah's agent has said he does not know where his client will be playing next season although there are multiple Saudi Arabian clubs that want to sign the Egyptian this summer. The Liverpool forward has long been a target for clubs in Saudi Arabia and that appeared to be Salah's most likely destination when he delivered a bombshell interview after being dropped at Leeds earlier this season. It was less than three years ago that Liverpool rejected a £150m offer from Saudi club Al Ittihad for Salah. Analysis: What next for Salah? Sky Sports News chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol: "Mohamed Salah leaving is saving Liverpool money. You have to remember his wages, he is said to be the highest paid player ever in the history of Liverpool, there are reports he gets paid between £350,000-£400,000 per week. "Salah is still an incredible player, but is he at his absolute peak? He's 33 at the moment and he'll be 34 in June. Did Liverpool really want to carry on paying him that kind of money until the summer of 2027? "Behind the scenes, his representatives have sat down with Liverpool and come to an agreement which suits all parties. It means he can carry on playing for Liverpool until the end of the season. "I think it's too early to say he'll definitely end up in Saudi Arabia. I know for a fact multiple clubs in Saudi Arabia are going to be interested in signing him. "Back in 2023 Al Ittihad made a verbal offer of £150m which Liverpool turned down. MLS clubs want him, too. But I think he'll have lots of options. "There will be Premier League clubs interested in signing him, European clubs as well. "A year or so ago, the possibility was there for him to play for other Premier League clubs and it was an option being explored. But of course the landscape is different now. "For a long period of time a year or so ago it looked like he would be leaving Liverpool and Liverpool were not particularly keen on offering him a new contract but then he had this incredible season, scored 28/29 goals and Liverpool won the title. "I think Liverpool were backed into a corner where they felt they had to give him a new contract." Robertson hails 'the greatest' Liverpool player Andy Robertson has described the departing Salah as Liverpool's "greatest" player. With 255 goals in 435 appearances, the 33-year-old will leave as the Reds' third-highest goalscorer behind only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. And Robertson, who signed for the club in the same transfer window in 2017, led the dressing room tributes, saying: "You deserve a send-off that reflects your status at LFC - the greatest. Second to none." Joe Gomez also delivered a heartfelt tribute, saying: "The numbers cement your legacy forever." Salah was described as a "great player and a true legend" by Liverpool team-mate Cody Gakpo. "Grateful to have shared the pitch with you," Gakpo wrote on social media. "Thank you for everything - not just for what you did on the pitch, but for the example you set every single day."

"The forward has reached an agreement with the Reds that will see him close a remarkable nine-year chapter at Anfield. "Salah expressed his wish to make this announcement to the supporters at the earliest possible opportunity to provide transparency about his future due to his respect and gratitude for them. "Signed from AS Roma in the summer of 2017, the No 11 has firmly established himself as one of the greatest players in Liverpool's history, helping the club to two Premier League titles, the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups, as well as an FA Community Shield. "His 255 goals in 435 appearances to date has the Egyptian sitting third on the Reds' all-time leading goalscorers chart, winning the Premier League Golden Boot on four occasions in addition to a host of personal accolades. "With plenty still left to play for this season, Salah is firmly focused on trying to achieve the best possible finish to the campaign for Liverpool and, therefore, the time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will follow later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield." Salah's farewell statement in full In a video published on social media, Salah said: "Unfortunately the day has come. This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. "I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, these people would become part of my life. "Liverpool is not just a football club. It's a passion. It's a history. It's a spirit I can't explain in words to anyone not part of this club. "We celebrated victory, we won the most important trophies and we fought together through the hardest time in our life. "I want to thank everyone who was part of this club throughout my time here, especially the team-mates, past and present and to the fans… "I don't have enough words. The support you showed me through the best time of my career and you stood by me in the toughest times, it's something I will never forget and something I will take with me always. "Leaving is never easy. You gave me the best time of my life. I will be always one of you. "This club will always be my home to me and to my family. Thank you for everything. "Because of all of you, I will never walk alone." Your views: 'Salah will be a huge miss' JG: He hasn't been the same player from last season. From the outburst with Slot a couple of months back, the poor performances I reckon it's the right time. Has been a legend for the club and the league, YNWA. Steve Eds: The greatest winger to embrace the league. Took four seasons fewer than Wayne Rooney to smash his record g/a. Absolute phenomenon. Will be missed. Form doesn't last forever, but greatness does. Thanks Mo, for everything. Andy: Maybe it's time that Salah does go at the end of the season, but he will be a huge miss at this football club. Definitely need a star replacement next season. Mike: Right for all parties, he's been a shadow of himself this season which hasn't helped the poor performances. Will go down as one of our greatest ever players and should leave with nothing but gratitude from the fans.

The suspects - aged 47 and 45 - were arrested on Wednesday morning at addresses in the north west London and central London areas respectively. They were arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life and both men have been taken to a London police station where they currently remain in police custody. Officers are carrying out searches at the two addresses, understood to be in areas near Kilburn and Kings Cross. The arrests are linked to the ongoing investigation into an arson attack on four ambulances run by Hatzola, a Jewish volunteer-led service, at around 1.35am on Monday. Metropolitan Police said CCTV footage showed three hooded individuals pouring accelerant on the parked vehicles adding that the investigation "very much remains active". The fire happened right next to the Machzike Hadath Synagogue, in Golders Green, north London, where the ambulances were parked. Residents reported being woken in the early hours by loud bangs after gas canisters stored in the ambulances exploded. The force of the explosions blew out windows, including those of the synagogue, and nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution. Commander Helen Flanagan, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, which is leading the investigation, said: "We have been working around the clock since this appalling attack took place and this has led to these arrests being made this morning. "This appears to be an important breakthrough in the investigation, but we're also mindful that CCTV footage of the incident suggests there were at least three people involved. "We fully recognise the local community will still be concerned and our investigation very much remains active and we will continue to work to identify and seek to arrest all of those who may have been involved. "I'd like to thank the public and particularly the local Jewish community in the area for their continued support and reiterate our appeal to anyone who might have information that could assist with the investigation to get in touch with us." The Community Security Trust, a charity created to provide security to the Jewish community, welcomed the arrests, saying in a statement: "We are grateful to the officers who have worked tirelessly to find those accountable. "While this development is an important step forward, we know the community will understandably remain concerned. "Police security measures and CST's own security operations will therefore remain at their current high level, with continued strong cooperation between CST and the police to protect our community." Islamist group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI) has claimed responsibility online for the attack, which police have said is so far being treated as an antisemitic hate crime rather than a terror attack. The newly formed group is believed to be aligned with Iran and appears to have posted a video on Telegram showing a map of the location of the attack and the ambulances on fire.

Other acts in the running include Lola Young, Florence + The Machine, CMAT, Little Simz, Coldplay, Damon Albarn, Jacob Alon, Self Esteem, Jim Legxacy and Kae Tempest - who is nominated twice for best contemporary song. The Ivors recognise British and Irish musical achievement in songwriting and composition, and also celebrate a number of singer-songwriters and groups for their wider contribution to UK music. In the best album category, Allen is nominated for her "punchy and forthright" West End Girl, Jim Legxacy for the "bold and genre-traversing" black british music, and Dean for her "divine sophomore" The Art Of Loving. They are up against Wolf Alice's fourth album The Clearing and Irish-star CMAT's EURO-COUNTRY. Shortlisted composers also include writers for Oscar-nominated scores including this year's Bugonia and last year's The Brutalist, as well as soundtracks for hit TV shows including Adolescence. While most of the gongs recognise the best songwriting of the past 12 months, the PRS For Music prize celebrates songs that received the most broadcast, online and general performances. So as well as 2025 hits including Man I Need, by Dean, there are also older songs in the running - Messy by Lola Young, Stargazing by Myles Smith, and The Days by Chrystal, which were released in 2024 - and even further back, Coldplay's 2008 track Viva La Vida, following the band's global tour. Some 61 individual British and Irish songwriters and composers, and their international collaborators, have been nominated in total - with 34, more than half, in the running for the first time, including Dean and Alon. Tom Gray, chair of The Ivors Academy, congratulated the nominees and said in a statement: "To be recognised by your peers for exceptional craft and originality at The Ivors is one of the greatest honours in music writing."

In a further blow to Nigel Farage's party, the government is set to limit foreign British electors to donating £100,000 per year, adopting the most aggressive end of recommendations from a government-commissioned report. The moves would curb donations by Christopher Harborne, the Thailand based fan of cryptocurrency, who gave over £12m in the last year to Reform. Reform UK also accepts crypto donations which would be suspended. Plans to limit the amount Britons overseas could donate to British political parties, limits on company donations and a new moratorium on cryptocurrency money for political parties have been proposed by an ex-mandarin in a report released today. Philip Rycroft, a former top official, proposed immediate changes to legislation which he says will curb foreign financial influence on our political system. He also proposes banning political adverts which are funded overseas, as well as lowering the burden of proof for electoral offences. Shortly after the release of the Rycroft report, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer confirmed in the House of Commons that he will ban cryptocurrency donations. "We will act decisively to protect our democracy," he said. "That will include a moratorium on all political donations made through cryptocurrencies." Communities Secretary Steve Reed also confirmed that overseas electors will be capped at donating £100,000 per year, a ban that will apply from Wednesday 25 March. The cryptocurrency donation ban will apply from the same date. Both will be implemented through amendments to the Representation of the People Bill currently passing through parliament. The report says that there is a "persistent problem of foreign interference", which can be "malign" and "sow discontent". Mr Rycroft says the intention is to undermine confidence in our democracy. However he also concedes there is "no immediate crisis" and no evidence that the 2024 election was distorted by foreign financing.

The law could be changed in months, with amendments to legislation already in the Commons. Nigel Farage has previously complained that this review is designed to hurt Reform UK. Mr Rycroft spoke to a large range of figures for the report, many of whom are hostile to Reform UK, but none of Reform UK's MPs individually. He did speak to Reform UK party officials, however. Reacting to the report, the Liberal Democrats called for Reform to hand back all the cryptocurrency donations they have received from "anonymous overseas sources". 👉Listen to Politics at Sam and Anne's on your podcast app👈 Jess Garland, the director of the Electoral Reform Society, welcomed the Rycroft proposals - but called on the government to go further and "bring in a cap on how much all donors can give to a party, not just those based abroad". Ms Garland added: "This is widely supported by the public and would help prevent our politics from being swamped with massive donations, which now frequently reach into the multiple millions. "Trust in politics is at a record low. To rebuild it, the rules around money in politics need to ensure that politicians are always focused on the needs of voters, not donors."

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chief executive Richard Gould confirmed on Monday that the positions of Ben Stokes, managing director Rob Key and head coach Brendon McCullum were safe, despite a resounding 4-1 series loss Down Under. Gould said "a lot of consideration" had been put in to keeping the same personnel - following a "thorough review" into the defeat, despite England's preparation, selection and behaviour coming under scrutiny. Ashes review: Key on McCullum, drinking culture and moreGot Sky? Watch cricket live on the Sky Sports appFollow Sky Sports on WhatsApp for news and moreNot got Sky? Stream cricket contract-free on NOW When questioning Key on the Sky Sports Cricket podcast, Atherton said: "From the perspective of people out there, they will find it extraordinary that there's been no accountability for the mistakes made in The Ashes. "It's not necessarily bloodlust people want, but I think they want genuine accountability. If there's no change to key personnel, they will argue, 'well, there is no accountability'. "In part, one of the criticisms of the players over that two or three-year period is that inadequate performance doesn't lead to accountability. That's the same at the top, it would seem to be." Key admitted mistakes were made and promised a change of approach to selection, having described the period since the series loss as 'as tough a three months I think I've had in my career, if not my life'. When questioning Key on what England had learned, former captain Nasser Hussain said: "You've talked about the learnings, but if I was an England fan sitting in there, I would have gone, 'this is your job for before the Ashes, not two months after the Ashes'. "Why are you learning now? Why weren't you doing these things? Why weren't all these things put in place? Have you been marking your own homework in the last few months?" Key and McCullum 'lucky to survive? Gould insisted football's hire-and-fire culture was not a useful model for England's cricket future, despite Key and McCullum's predecessors - Chris Silverwood and Ashley Giles - departing after a 4-0 away Ashes drubbing four years earlier. Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott bemoaned a lack of accountability in the ECB after not making changes, suggesting Key and McCullum had "sabotaged" the Ashes campaign. "Like me, cricket supporters will be asking how ‌McCullum and Key could make so many bad decisions on the Australian tour and yet the chief executive of ​English cricket decides there is no need to make any changes. Where is the accountability?" Boycott wrote in the Telegraph. "I'm sure they promised him they would do better, ​but leopards don't change their spots, so it looks like we will ⁠get the same type of Test cricket. "In trying to create a free-spirited team, he has made them too comfortable and complacent. They know they will not get dropped, whatever their performances ‌or conduct on or off the field. "It looks like a boys' club where, once you are in the team, it is hard to get out... competition for places is the lifeblood of sport. Complacency in a team does not breed a good appetite to excel." Former England captain Michael Vaughan added on the BBC's Test Match Special: "I think they [Key and McCullum] are very, very lucky [to keep their jobs]. There's not many management groups that deliver something so poor away from home in an Ashes series and get the chance to carry on. "They seem to me it's like a football management team. I actually felt if one went, they all went. They've had some exciting times but they haven't won enough. "What England fans are looking for now is, what change [will happen]." Ashes review 'will anger fans' Sky Sports News reporter James Cole: "Ashes review action-points were presented to the media at Lord's in the form of a slide-show presentation. It was very corporate. All the right noises were made; key words emphasised: "learnings", "evolve" and "culture" featured heavily. "There was, though, little new information. And all the proposed improvements around 'preparation', 'performance' and 'environment' were obvious ones that should have been implemented long before the Ashes debacle. "The fact that no one has paid for the woeful winter with their job will anger a lot of cricket fans. As much as Rob Key insists there's no drinking culture and the team environment isn't too computable and cliquey, that is the wider perception. "Key admitted that the demand for consistency in selection had been taken too far, resulting in a failure to act on poor form. This summer some hard selection decisions will need to be made. A more sensible approach to batting will be needed; and most of all, England must start winning again. "Bazball is broken. McCullum and Stokes must rewrite the playbook. Series wins over New Zealand and Pakistan will go a long way to restoring fans' faith. But you sense the team's approach, particularly when batting in pressured situations, will be key."
