Solidarity

Nurses from across Scotland have protested over pay at demonstrations in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness.
Hundreds of protesters attended the "NHS Workers say No!" event at Glasgow Green. It was one of dozens across the country over a UK government pay rise which campaigners say excludes "a massive number of healthcare workers".
NHS medical and dental workers, GPs and general dental practitioners in Scotland will receive a 2.8% pay rise, backdated to 1 April.
However, nurses and junior doctors were not included because they agreed a separate three-year deal in 2018.
NHS charge nurse Brenda Brown, said colleagues "can't exactly feed our families on a round of applause."
