Doctor Strikes, Stargazing & Factory Fire Rebuild

Start your day with the latest news and updates, with Jim and Jo at breakfast.

Hundreds of appointments have been cancelled today at Leicester's hospitals, as the junior doctors strike gets underway. Nationally, around 4000 procedures an operations are expected to be affected. It's after the British Medical Association failed to reach an agreement with the government over contracts and working hours.
Also, with a British astronaut in space and renewed discussion of manned missions to Mars, sspace hasn't been so popular since the heady days of the late 1960's. Tonight "Stargazing" returns to 大象传媒 2 , once again exploring the night sky and investigating some of the most breathtaking parts of the cosmos. And in a first, the programme will be speaking LIVE to Tim Peake onboard the International Space Station. Presenter and physicist Brian Cox says he's thrilled to be able to speak to Tim as he prepares to be the first British astronaut to take part in a space walk.
And, a family printing business in Leicester - which was destroyed by fire - has vowed to rise from the ashes. Service Press - on Ross Walk in Belgrave - was burnt to the ground just after Christmas. The company's now determined to rebuild its business. 大象传媒 Radio Leicester's Helen McCarthy has been to the site to meet Sarah Hill who ran the firm with her dad.

Also in the show, more reaction to the death of David Bowie and plans to expand Abbey Pumping Station.
