BBC journalists are staging a 24-hour strike in a row over jobs. The action threatens disruption to radio and TV news programmes.
TV and radio schedules hit by BBC strike
Programmes including BBC One's Breakfast and Radio 4's Today programme are off-air this morning due to a strike by BBC journalists.

Repeats of shows including Heir Hunters and Escape to the Country will replace BBC One's Breakfast.
