Dominic hughes, bbc news. So how much does a Junior Doctor earn . Well ,the term covers someone just out of Medical School right up to someone with more than ten years experience. So our Health Correspondentjim reed asked twoJunior Doctors to show him their payslips. Pay really is at the centre of this dispute. So lets talk you through two real life examples ofJunior Doctors, starting with dr robert gittings. He is just finishing his first year as a Junior Doctor, working full time, so around 48 hours a week, in the Infectious Diseases ward of a big london hospital. And we asked robert to share his payslip with us. As youll see, hes paid a basic wage ofjust over £14 an hour. But then there are extra payments to cover night shifts and weekends, which are compulsory. He doesnt have a choice in doing those. His full take home pay, then, injune, aftertaxes, deductions, student loan and so on was just over £2,000. It would bring his annual salary to just about £37,000, including those extra payments. He says hes now looking to work abroad for a while, possibly in australia. To be honest, i always wanted to do that even when i was in Medical School. Whats changed recently though, is im not confident that the pay here is going to improve as much as id like it to. And if that isnt the case, then i would really quite strongly consider staying in australia. So robert isjust finishing his first year as a Junior Doctor. But as doctors get more skill and experience, they can move up these pay bands. Lets talk about a doctor whos further on, then, in her career. This is dr kiran rahim, also a Junior Doctor. She graduated more than ten years ago, working part time, partly because she has a young family. Shes whats called a paediatric registrar, so can be in charge of an entire childrens ward in hospital. Looking at her wage slip, she brings in a basic wage per hour, roughly £28. So double what robert was getting paid. Also some extra payments here for working in london, night shifts, and weekends. It would bring her take home pay injuly, bearing in mind she works about 30 hours a week, part time to just over £2,000. If she was working full time, her salary would be roughly £69,000, she says. She says, for her, this dispute isnt just about wages, but about wider working conditions. I have seen a decline in sort of the morale, in the working environment, in the safety of our working environment, in our working conditions, in my own sort of living practice. So this is not something that i can say, oh, it used to be, oh, it maybe never used to be. I have seen it deteriorate. You know, the team ethos, the team morale. Two doctors, then, with very different experiences. The government says its latest pay offer recognises the important work thatJunior Doctors do, but has to balance that against the risks of higher inflation. Our Health Correspondentjim reed. The authorities on the Hawaiian Island of maui say it will take many years and billions of dollars to repair the damage caused by devastating wildfires. At least 55 people have been killed and about 1,000 are unaccounted for. The governor of hawaii said the blazes are probably his states largest ever natural disaster, and that 80 of the town of lahaina had been destroyed. Our correspondent Richard Galpin has the latest.

But then there are thousands of residents who are currently being sheltered in temporary shelters. The governor is calling on all residents here who have homes to open up their doors to some of these evacuees and also asking hotels to make their rooms available to them. Resources here on the island have been incredibly stretched thin and right now it is all hands on deck. The military has been brought into the island. They are searching and looking for any of the missing and also we can tell you a lot of civilians are taking an upper hand here trying to get food and supplies to those people that are still in the Evacuation Zone will stop so many of these communities remain obstructed by downed trees and power lines as helper tries to get through.
