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”.

What’s happening?
The United States and Iran are set to sign a peace agreement aimed at concluding ongoing hostilities. The deal is expected to include provisions like the removal of naval blockades in strategic regions, signaling a shift in U.S.-Iran relations.
Comparative analysis of headlines reveals differing approaches by various outlets. CBS News states, “Trump says U.S. deal with Iran ‘is now complete,’ authorizes removal of Navy blockade of Strait of Hormuz,” focusing on the statement’s authority and progress in negotiations. In contrast, Al Jazeera reports, “Iran war live: Tehran says ‘peace deal’ ends US blockade, war on all fronts,” which highlights the broader implications of the deal on military engagement and regional stability. This illustrates a framing difference: CBS emphasizes the diplomatic signaling, while Al Jazeera addresses the potential conflict cessation and the impact on war dynamics.
