In Britain, workers' strikes continue in various sectors, to protest against living conditions and high inflation, and to demand higher salaries.

In the latest move, tens of thousands of workers in the transport, postal and border guard sectors in England and Wales will stop working tonight in an attempt to impose better conditions, coinciding with the ongoing discussions in both houses of the British Parliament to finalize the new legislation.

The railway workers' strike is scheduled to start from tonight, and will continue until tomorrow morning, followed by another strike between the third and seventh of January.

Transport strikes are not limited to railways, but also include bus drivers in south and west London for a period of 11 days during next January, as well as highway workers and ambulance crews.

The Unite union says more strikes will be scheduled if the dispute is not resolved.

For its part, the Nursing Syndicate announced a new strike on the 18th and 19th of next month.

The NHS called on the Ministry of Health to enter into serious negotiations with unions without delay.

The authority said that the nursing sector's announcement of two additional strike dates next month will increase pressure on the health services, which are already exhausted after the recent strikes by the nursing and ambulance staff.

The authority added that thousands of appointments have been rescheduled or canceled entirely due to strikes.

Yesterday, the United Kingdom used the army to carry out the work of passport employees in 8 airports that are witnessing strikes, while Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pledged to enact stricter laws to reduce what he described as the chaos that paralyzes the country.

The British government's approach to cracking down on strikes was met with a response from trade unions, which said that what the government was seeking to achieve contradicted the principles of democracy.

Yesterday, Sunak expressed his dissatisfaction with what he described as the chaos caused by the current wave of strikes in the country, and said that he felt "sadness and disappointment" at the effects of the strikes on people's daily lives, stressing that his "door is open for discussions" with the unions organizing the strikes.

Sunak, during a visit to a homeless association, said the government had "acted fairly and sensibly" with regard to the public sector and always wanted to talk to people and engage them in dialogues to make sure their jobs were fulfilling and rewarding.

The British Prime Minister described the situation as difficult, and said that the best thing that can be done in the interest of the country is to fight inflation, he said.

In France, the government agreed with the railway workers to suspend a strike that was scheduled for New Year's Eve, while continuing it during the Christmas period.

The French railway company said that 200,000 passengers were affected by the strike, which was organized by the railway workers on Friday and continues Saturday and Sunday, as two high-speed trains out of 5 were cancelled.
