New security measures for electronic devices have been introduced

:00:00.:00:00.

Newmarket honours some of the biggest names in rachng.

:00:07.:00:32.

And 100 years of hats ` the Luton company celebrating its centenary.

:00:33.:00:46.

Thousands of public sectors across the region will walk out

:00:47.:00:50.

Members of six unions, are taking the action, they say

:00:51.:00:55.

It means some schools will close, rubbish may not be collected,

:00:56.:01:00.

The government says restraining pay is vital, the unions say th`t

:01:01.:01:07.

for too long already relatively low paid workers have been at the sharp

:01:08.:01:10.

They are the men and women who work in libraries and school kitchens and

:01:11.:01:24.

empty the bins. Three years ago local government workers took part

:01:25.:01:28.

in a joint strike or tensions. Civil servants also what code,

:01:29.:01:33.

winning helplines went unanswered. Tomorrow it will all be repdated in

:01:34.:01:37.

a dispute with the government over pay.

:01:38.:01:44.

They don't give up money easily it is a sacrifice they make, and it is

:01:45.:01:49.

absurd to criticise them and say it is just people causing havoc. It is

:01:50.:01:54.

not. These members are at the coal face, they are providing a service

:01:55.:01:56.

under not being adequately rewarded.

:01:57.:02:00.

Schools across the region whll be affected. The biggest teachdrs union

:02:01.:02:04.

NUT is taking part in the strike. Embers are angry about changes to

:02:05.:02:08.

pensions, the introduction of performance related pay, and the

:02:09.:02:12.

workload which they say has increased under the current

:02:13.:02:18.

government. Teachers are working double, for

:02:19.:02:24.

every hour in the classroom they are working and are outside the

:02:25.:02:27.

classroom, that would be a 02 hour day over five days, and we know that

:02:28.:02:30.

many teachers were over weekends as well.

:02:31.:02:35.

Some schools will be open as normal, others, like this one, will be

:02:36.:02:39.

partially shot with some cl`sses running. Others will be closed

:02:40.:02:43.

completely. It will cost me today's wagds, and I

:02:44.:02:48.

don't have any holiday left so I had to take it underpaid.

:02:49.:02:54.

We are all working class parents. I agree with the teachers, thdy are

:02:55.:03:00.

doing a good job. Fight for what you believe hn, fight

:03:01.:03:03.

for what you want, but don't make our children suffer. We can stick

:03:04.:03:08.

them on holiday, we have to permission, and we would get fined

:03:09.:03:13.

for doing so. They need to do it on their own time.

:03:14.:03:18.

Tomorrow members of the Fird Brigades Union will walk out again

:03:19.:03:21.

over plans to raise the age at which they can retire. With six ptblic

:03:22.:03:26.

sector unions on strike on the same day that could be serious dhsruption

:03:27.:03:29.

in this region. The Prime Mhnister has strongly criticised the action,

:03:30.:03:33.

but union leaders say they were left with no choice.

:03:34.:03:34.

Matthew Hancock is the Skills and Business Minister.

:03:35.:03:37.

I asked him whether those going on strike tomorrow would continue

:03:38.:03:47.

The strike is completely unnecessary. I hope people thinking

:03:48.:03:53.

about whether they're going to go to work tomorrow think about the pupils

:03:54.:03:56.

and think of their customers and people whose lives will be disrupted

:03:57.:04:02.

if this action goes ahead. But people are going on strhke

:04:03.:04:04.

because they say it is getthng harder and harder to pay, for

:04:05.:04:09.

example, the weekly food bill. Your government is saying we're not even

:04:10.:04:14.

halfway these austerity measures. Is it going to get even harder for them

:04:15.:04:19.

to survive? Of course, dealing with the enormous

:04:20.:04:22.

deficit this country was left with takes time. We have got a plan. The

:04:23.:04:29.

long`term plan is working. Xes, this is necessary, but the questhon is

:04:30.:04:33.

how to get through difficult Financial Times. And striking and

:04:34.:04:41.

being disruptive and undermhning public services is not the way.

:04:42.:04:47.

Let me put it this way. When can those people who are going out on

:04:48.:04:50.

strike tomorrow expect a pax rise? That is what they want to know.

:04:51.:04:59.

It depends on many factors. It depends on performance at work, for

:05:00.:05:02.

instance in schools we now have performance related pay. But it also

:05:03.:05:07.

depends on making sure the country can live within her means. We have

:05:08.:05:12.

got to make sure that happens. We have a plan, the plan is working.

:05:13.:05:18.

You have a plan to do it by 201 , so no pay rise until then?

:05:19.:05:26.

The plan is to get to surplts in 2018, but this year there is a one

:05:27.:05:31.

percentage rise. In the past there was a freeze. That did not `ffect

:05:32.:05:36.

the lowest paid public sector workers.

:05:37.:05:40.

What do you see to many of our viewers who may be preparing to go

:05:41.:05:44.

on strike tomorrow who feel that you are actually dismissing the strength

:05:45.:05:50.

of feeling that they have and the difficulty they are having hn making

:05:51.:05:55.

ends meet? This action that we are takhng to

:05:56.:05:59.

turn the economy around is necessary. It isn't what I came into

:06:00.:06:06.

politics for, but it is our duty to keep going with the plan whhch is

:06:07.:06:08.

self evidently working. Well let's have a proper ch`t to

:06:09.:06:13.

our Political Correspondent Andrew How much disruption is

:06:14.:06:16.

the Government expecting tolorrow? Ministers accept there will be

:06:17.:06:26.

disruption and many people will not go into work, but they are not

:06:27.:06:30.

expecting the region to grind to a halt, brats because many people are

:06:31.:06:35.

not members of unions and there will be enough people to keep thhngs

:06:36.:06:40.

running. But ministers don't think there is a vast amount of ptblic

:06:41.:06:44.

support for strikes. They s`y everyone has been affected by

:06:45.:06:46.

austerity and they believe lany people will say, why should public

:06:47.:06:50.

sector workers get special treatment? One minister said to me

:06:51.:06:53.

he thought this would be more damaging for trade unions and Labour

:06:54.:06:55.

than for the government. There are official line is that they

:06:56.:07:07.

will not support the strike but they do not condemn people who w`nt

:07:08.:07:13.

better wages. Many of their left`wing candidates are prhvately

:07:14.:07:17.

saying that the Labour Partx should be fighting with workers. The other

:07:18.:07:25.

thing is, this Labour Party is committed to this government's

:07:26.:07:29.

spending plan, so those cuts will continue.

:07:30.:07:31.

In Northampton another industrial dispute as dozens

:07:32.:07:33.

of bio`medical staff at Northampton General Hospital are still tnable to

:07:34.:07:35.

work as a row over pay and conditions enters its second week.

:07:36.:07:40.

The workers have refused to sign a new contract which would `ffect

:07:41.:07:43.

They've been told that unless they accept the new terms their

:07:44.:07:47.

For the past fortnight, preparing for work has been very diffdrent for

:07:48.:07:51.

Along with more than 50 colleagues, the bio`scientists have spent

:07:52.:07:55.

the time on the picket line and not in the laboratory.

:07:56.:07:58.

They say they have been locked out of Northampton General Hosphtal in

:07:59.:08:02.

You come into this job becatse you want to care for patients, xou don't

:08:03.:08:09.

come in for the money, you come in because it is a caring profdssion.

:08:10.:08:12.

But the way things have gond with this dispute, we are being treated

:08:13.:08:16.

so badly that the only way we can get our point forward is

:08:17.:08:20.

56 members of the Unite union have occupied this spot since June 2 .

:08:21.:08:28.

they had planned a work`to`rule but hospital bosses told thdm to

:08:29.:08:31.

stay at home unless they signed a new contract.

:08:32.:08:38.

They have now been told that unless they do so by September,

:08:39.:08:41.

If the Trust think they can shed 56 jobs, then why were these 56 people

:08:42.:08:50.

employed for the last 30 or 40 years?

:08:51.:08:52.

We know they are struggling in there, but all our members want

:08:53.:08:57.

The hospital says the impact has been negligable.

:08:58.:09:03.

It insists patient safety has not been compromised.

:09:04.:09:06.

In a statement, the Chief Executive said:

:09:07.:09:20.

It is exactly two weeks since the dispute first beg`n.

:09:21.:09:24.

The longer it continues the more crucial public support becoles.

:09:25.:09:30.

That's why unions have taken their protest from the pickdt line

:09:31.:09:33.

The union says more than 5,000 people have signed

:09:34.:09:39.

Tomorrow both sides meet with the arbitration service ACAS.

:09:40.:09:46.

Until a solution is found, this is the only work these highly

:09:47.:09:49.

An American military helicopter that crashed in January killing `ll four

:09:50.:09:57.

people on board was brought down by a flock of geese.

:09:58.:10:00.

That's the conclusion of an air accident investigation report.

:10:01.:10:04.

The helicopter, from the air force base at Lakenheath,

:10:05.:10:08.

It was a low`level training mission simulating the night`time rdscue of

:10:09.:10:24.

a pilot, which ended in dis`ster. Nearby that was a second helicopter

:10:25.:10:27.

which landed safely. Four lhves lost, and comrades in shock.

:10:28.:10:35.

As a husband and father mysdlf I cannot imagine how heartbroken you

:10:36.:10:39.

must feel. The four victims were the c`ptain,

:10:40.:10:44.

vice captain, technical Sergeant and Staff Sergeant. This report tells

:10:45.:10:51.

they were 110 feet up travelling at 120 miles an hour when a flock of

:10:52.:10:55.

geese took flight. The enquhry says it is possible to geese had been

:10:56.:11:01.

startled by helicopter noisd. Once in the year, three of them

:11:02.:11:04.

penetrated the windscreen ldaving the pilot and co`pilot unconscious.

:11:05.:11:07.

And other bird hit the aeri`l gunner, knocking him out to. And

:11:08.:11:13.

other bird damage the stabilisation system. From that initial strike to

:11:14.:11:17.

hitting the ground took just three seconds. The helicopter was part of

:11:18.:11:25.

the 56th rescue Squadron whhch is based alongside fighters at the

:11:26.:11:30.

Lakenheath base. It specialhses in rescue operations in hostild

:11:31.:11:36.

environments around the world. It might mystify a lot of pdople

:11:37.:11:39.

that such a sophisticated ahrcraft was vulnerable to bird strikes.

:11:40.:11:45.

A lot of it depends on wherd the bird 's head. You just don't know

:11:46.:11:51.

what is going to happen, and it is unpredictable.

:11:52.:11:56.

The area where this happened is an area where large flocks of birds do

:11:57.:11:59.

congregate, and although thdre was intelligence suggesting thex were

:12:00.:12:06.

not there, evidently they wdre. A key lesson needs to be learned that

:12:07.:12:08.

perhaps training flights to take place elsewhere.

:12:09.:12:13.

The American air force says it will review the way it operates `nd make

:12:14.:12:19.

changes to improve safety. This ?9 million helicopter was built to

:12:20.:12:22.

handle extremes, but ultimately a string of multiple bird strhkes

:12:23.:12:26.

proved too much, with catastrophic consequences.

:12:27.:12:29.

It's forecast to be one of the fastest growing commtnities

:12:30.:12:31.

in the region over the next ten years, but with growth

:12:32.:12:35.

There are already concerns `bout the number of school places avahlable.

:12:36.:12:38.

Which is why a new 1,500 place school is being

:12:39.:12:41.

One Briton's fastest growing cities with one of Europe's biggest housing

:12:42.:12:54.

estate. But newer homes mean more families needing school places.

:12:55.:13:02.

A new secondary school is desperately needed but therd are

:13:03.:13:06.

also concerns because Hamilton is growing daily. The new site which is

:13:07.:13:10.

growing across the road is predicted to have 4000 up to 5000 homds, so is

:13:11.:13:17.

this second school going to be enough?

:13:18.:13:26.

By 2021 the number of pupils is expected to rise to 18,000 hn

:13:27.:13:29.

Peterborough, meaning anothdr 5 00 places will have to be found in the

:13:30.:13:36.

next seven years alone. The city is joining with Cambridgeshire to

:13:37.:13:40.

develop and fill the school. It will be one of three built in thd city in

:13:41.:13:44.

the next 15 years to meet growing demand.

:13:45.:13:50.

Things changed by the day. We have to respond to that, Peterborough has

:13:51.:13:56.

a transient population and H have to make sure I always have places and

:13:57.:14:01.

fortunately we have heard investment and are able to secure placds but it

:14:02.:14:04.

is an ongoing pressure and we continue to respond.

:14:05.:14:09.

At the primary school gates there are real concerns over placds.

:14:10.:14:15.

There are so many kids in Peterborough and not enough

:14:16.:14:20.

schools. We have got an age old who we have

:14:21.:14:24.

got an age old who we're not sure we'll get in with the amount of

:14:25.:14:28.

children wanting secondary places, and the tone is growing so puickly,

:14:29.:14:32.

it is a worry, but figures crossed he will get into the school of his

:14:33.:14:36.

choice. The city is writing to the

:14:37.:14:39.

government to try to find ftnding for the new schools. It is hoped the

:14:40.:14:43.

first will open in three ye`rs' time.

:14:44.:14:44.

A statue which is 4,000 year old and has a price tag

:14:45.:14:47.

of ?6 million has put North`mpton Borough Council into conflict with

:14:48.:14:50.

The council is selling the statue at Christies in London tomorrow

:14:51.:14:57.

but Egypt is trying to intervene and stop it.

:14:58.:15:03.

Now we can join Stewart for the rest of the programle.

:15:04.:15:14.

The company celebrating 100 years of hearts. The latest challengd for C.

:15:15.:15:22.

Getting ready for the women's open at Royal Birkdale.

:15:23.:15:28.

Racing now and the three`dax July festival stars tomorrow

:15:29.:15:30.

at Newmarket. To mark the occasion some

:15:31.:15:33.

of the biggest names in the sport are being honoured in the town.

:15:34.:15:35.

Tom Williams is at Newmarket now. Thank you. Welcome to the Jtly

:15:36.:15:46.

course. Hardly a flower or blade of grass out of place. A bit of pruning

:15:47.:15:51.

and tweaking ahead of the fdstival which starts tomorrow. It is every

:15:52.:15:59.

trainer and owner 's dream to be here on race day. They will be

:16:00.:16:03.

wanting to stand here in thd first position after the race. Ond and a

:16:04.:16:08.

half million pounds in prizd money up for grabs. 30,000 people expected

:16:09.:16:17.

and a thrilling few days to come. You will have heard of the Hollywood

:16:18.:16:25.

walk of Fame, this is the r`ce tracks and set to it. They have

:16:26.:16:32.

dedicated some of the great names on the high street today. It w`s quite

:16:33.:16:39.

a cloud which had gathered to see it. A master trainer, a night and a

:16:40.:16:48.

legend. The Henry Cecil was champion trainer ten times. The racing

:16:49.:16:57.

community gathered in his honour. He would not have understood that he

:16:58.:17:01.

was always like that when hd gained recognition. But he would bd very

:17:02.:17:09.

proud, as we all are. There are many other legends noted here. Hxperion

:17:10.:17:21.

was a great racehorse. Fred Archer, a jockey. Fred Archer was

:17:22.:17:31.

apprenticed to the stables where I train. He came when he was 02 and he

:17:32.:17:39.

weighed four stone eight on arrival. He wrote his first winner when he

:17:40.:17:43.

was 15. It took nearly 70 ydars before anyone rode as many winners.

:17:44.:17:52.

These states have been balkdd by genuine high achievers. It helps to

:17:53.:18:00.

make the town special. Another trainer destined for legend`ry

:18:01.:18:11.

status is so Michael Stoute. He boasts ten trainer titles whll stop

:18:12.:18:18.

this is a rare glimpse into his world ahead of one of the top summer

:18:19.:18:25.

festivals. The July meeting is an important festival. That is a lot

:18:26.:18:28.

going on in the town with the sale and hospitality for the people come

:18:29.:18:40.

to visit. It is high`qualitx racing. I enjoyed the horses and he allows

:18:41.:18:50.

me to come and roam around. I do not keep a horse here pulled up when I

:18:51.:18:57.

had a couple of horses, I could not afford these charges. As colpetitive

:18:58.:19:05.

now as ever, even it top tr`iner at Royal Ascot. I remember when he

:19:06.:19:12.

started, he tried to make it to the top and he has not changed ` single

:19:13.:19:15.

bit. He started with virtually nothing. He has one 17 Englhsh

:19:16.:19:22.

classics and most of the big races around the world. He is incredible.

:19:23.:19:30.

He is a credit to the profession. You would not bet against hhm being

:19:31.:19:35.

in the running again. He has spent months crafting his strategx,

:19:36.:19:45.

drawing on years of experience. We are set for a thrilling few days of

:19:46.:19:51.

racing. Ladies Day tomorrow and gentlemen stay on Friday. Jtly cup

:19:52.:19:55.

day on the Saturday. Definitely a chance to dress for `` to ilpress.

:19:56.:20:01.

Tom Williams is at Newmarket now. In golf,

:20:49.:20:58.

never hurts. She almost does too much. Occasionally I will gdt a text

:20:59.:21:06.

message saying she is very tired. It is trying to find the balance.

:21:07.:21:13.

Alongside her loving family, she now has an experienced coaching team

:21:34.:21:36.

people pay to watch us. People get a buzz out of it. What about the

impact you are having? Pretty good so far. Younger people know of me

:21:44.:21:52.

:21:53.:22:07.

best once again tomorrow. I have a picture of me and you together when

:22:08.:22:12.

I was about nine or ten years old. You have to be fearless to reach the

:22:13.:22:18.

top. You can never be afraid of failing the top if you have a shot

:22:19.:22:22.

that this risky and it will cost you a big cheque or win you the

:22:23.:22:27.

championship, you have to t`ke it on. A lot of players do not take it

:22:28.:22:32.

on and they never quite makd it I think she will be the sort that

:22:33.:22:36.

takes it on because she wants to be a winner. She has the game `nd the

:22:37.:22:43.

gumption. The first major thtle cannot be far away.

The company specialises in boaters and flat caps and is hoping to

:22:51.:22:54.

start exporting to America. Louise Hubball has been to leet

:22:55.:22:55.

1950s. They are still making them in the town. John has worked all his

:23:17.:23:24.

:23:25.:23:30.

boring but some jobs are different. Some, you are glad to get off of.

:23:31.:23:36.

His wife is still a machinist upstairs. I love it. You have lots

:23:37.:23:45.

of different pieces. When the company was founded 100 years ago,
