recognise the work that nurses do. three quarters of trusts are not on strike today and we are hugely grateful to their contributions but in those trusts that are striking, nurses are still working and that is massively appreciated. in a moment, we ll speak to our correspondent chris page in belfast but first our correspondent howard johnson is at st thomas hospital in london for us. what is the atmosphere like where you are? it what is the atmosphere like where ou are? .., , what is the atmosphere like where ouare? , ,. , you are? it can be described as a carnival atmosphere. you are? it can be described as a carnival atmosphere. i you are? it can be described as a carnival atmosphere. i had - you are? it can be described as a carnival atmosphere. i had heard more than 200 homes honked from policeman, from bus drivers, lorry drivers, the support from the public is enormous and it is behind the staff here. around 200 striking nurses here today and what we have seen as the dung has
