Resident doctors in England have headed to picket lines at the beginning of a six-day walkout as the row with the government over jobs and pay intensifies.

Tens of thousands of doctors in training began the strike from 7am on Tuesday after crunch talks, which continued into Good Friday, failed to find a resolution.
