Junior doctors in England have overwhelmingly voted in favour of going on strike in their dispute with ministers over a new contract.  

We have around 2,000 junior doctors in the South West, but we can't say how many will get involved. They're not all union members, they won't all be on shift and the first strike doesn't include those providing emergency care. 

Hospitals aren't saying what their contingency plans are, but  It's likely that planned surgery for those dates would be cancelled and consultants pulled from their normal duties to cover for their striking colleagues.

Reflective paint which could 'save hundreds' of Dartmoor's livestock from being killed by vehicles is being put on more ponies after an initial trial was deemed a success.

In September, blue paint was daubed on privately-owned ponies to see how durable it was. Conservationists said it had stayed on the animals and the reflective element had since been added. 

So far this year, 74 animals have been killed on Dartmoor's roads.
