The first all-out doctors' strike in the NHS's history has begun in England.

Thousands of junior doctors walked out of both routine and emergency care at 08:00 BST in protest at the imposition of a new contract from the summer.

"This is likely to be my last big job in politics and the one think that will keep me awake is if I didn't do the right thing to help make the NHS one of the safest, highest quality healthcare systems in the world," said Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
