BBC World Service - BBC OS, Nursing strike in the UK

The biggest nursing strike in the history of Britain's public health service is under way

The biggest nursing strike in the history of Britain's public health service is under way.

Nurses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have started a nationwide strike in the largest action of its kind in NHS history. We explain the pay dispute and hear what members of the public think about the strike action. 

We talk about the tensions between ethnic Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo and get messages from people living in the region. 

Authorities in India say at  least 31 people have died and several others hospitalised in India’s Bihar state after drinking toxic alcohol. We speak to our reporter and hear reaction from Indians. 

The BBC’s Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet joins the programme to talk about the main developments in the Ukraine war and other major news stories of the year.
