The paper claims this includes “threatening consultants who refuse to do extra work, and tempting junior doctors to cross picket lines by increasing locum pay”.
Also on the front page is a report about the disquiet in the Labour Party over a controversial attack advert which claimed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak “does not believe adults convicted of sexually assaulting children should go to prison”. It says shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper was not informed about the ad before its release.

What’s happening?
A shooting incident at a Spirit Halloween store in Fairfield, California, resulted in the tragic death of a 31-year-old pregnant woman. The authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the event and seeking the shooter, who fled the scene.
In contrasting coverage, KCRA headlines state, “31-year-old pregnant woman identified as killed in Fairfield shooting at Spirit Halloween,” which emphasizes the victim and the personal impact of the tragedy. In contrast, The New York Times uses the headline “Shooting at Spirit Halloween in California Kills Pregnant Mother of 4,” centering on the act of violence itself and its broader implications. This distinction reflects KCRA’s focus on individual consequences versus The New York Times approaching the narrative from the perspective of the violent event’s context and societal impact.
