Nurses in the UK are set to pause their strike to hold 'intensive talks' about the long-running pay dispute.

The Royal College of Nurses (RCN) have called off a 48-hour walkout planned next week, which was said to include intensive care and A&E nurses for the first time since the strike began.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says this will be the first detailed pay negotiation since nurses started striking last December.
