Junior doctors in England are to stage a four-day strike in August - their fifth round of strikes in this year's pay dispute.

The walkout will start at 07:00 BST on Friday 11 August and end on 07:00 on Tuesday 15 August.

The British Medical Association has asked for a 35% pay rise to restore pay to 2008 levels after a series of below-inflation pay rises.

The government is giving them a 6% pay rise this year plus lump sum of £1,250.
