BBC World Service - BBC OS, Doctors go on strike in India

They are demanding better security in hospitals

Doctors in India are taking part in a nationwide strike to demand better protection from violence at work. It comes after an attack left three junior doctors seriously injured after a dispute with a family whose relative had died. We get the latest from our reporter in Delhi.

Also, we continue coverage of the oil tanker attacks in the Gulf of Oman, as Iran says it "categorically rejects" US claims that it was behind them.

And an interview with a top scientist in the US who says he's no longer going to speak at conferences that do not include enough women.
