Good evening. The headlines: More than 250 schools in east Yorkshire | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
and Lincolnshire close because of a strike. It is protecting education | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
long—term. We hope parents will understand and support that. There's | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
anger some from some parents who say they weren't given enough notice of | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
school closures. I am utterly disgusted. Any thought of giving | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
them my support has gone out of the window. Also on the programme: The | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
woman whose family say would still be alive if doctors had not ignored | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
her medical history. A former US president takes his place alongside | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
William Wilberforce and Nelson Mandela. It has been a decent day | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
today. What is in store? We are looking at unsettled conditions. | :01:01. | :01:12. | |
Around 250 schools in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have been affected | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
as staff from the two biggest teaching unions went on strike | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
today. The latest figures obtained by BBC Look North show 148 schools | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
closed completely, 108 were partially shut and 337 schools in | :01:23. | :01:32. | |
this area opened as normal. Members of the NUT and the NASUWT say the | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
walk out was over pay, pensions and conditions. Sarah Corker has this | :01:36. | :01:47. | |
report. 8am and teachers on strike in Hull start their journey to a | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
union rally in joined thousands of others from | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
across Yorkshire and the Midlands. 33 years in the profession, Margaret | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
Atkinson is striking over changes which could see teachers working | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
longer. I don't think I could be working in my 60s because I think I | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
would be worn out. I think we want teachers to be better. Do you think | :02:11. | :02:20. | |
68 is too old to be teaching? Yes, definitely. And their list of | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
grievances is growing. Teachers are unhappy about reduced pensions, | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
working until they are 68, excessive workloads and unqualified teachers | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
in the classroom. The government maintains the reforms are driving up | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
standards. Teachers are being forced to go on strike because Michael Gove | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
will not speak to the unions. It is not just a one—day inconvenience, it | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
is protecting education long—term. Teachers are unhappy about reduced | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
pensions. The main bone of contention is performance—related | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
pay, head teachers setting salaries, teachers only moving up the pay | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
scale if they meet certain standards. Parents and the public in | :02:58. | :03:16. | |
general, it will undermine teachers, and they will have the best pensions | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
available to anybody across the land. Some schools were left with | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
not enough staff and forced to shut. Others were able to open as usual, | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
like the South Cave Primary. We were totally unaffected. None of the | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
teachers took any action so all classes were normal. Either publicly | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
to have sympathy? I'm not sure. That is up to the public. The situation | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
is intolerable. Why are you striking? Because I wanted to take | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
industrial action for the good of the young people in Bridlington. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Both sides say they are willing top re—open talks, but until that | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
happens pupils will be caught in the middle. For many parents who were | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
meant to go to work today there has been disruption and loss of earnings | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
as they arranged for alternative childcare. Jessica Lane has been to | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
meet two families to see the impact today's walk—out had on them. Ellie | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
May only started school in September. Her dad says one of those | :04:19. | :04:32. | |
lessons is about attendance. I've said to her she has not to go to | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
school. We have to do certain things. Chris tried to take both | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
kids to school today. He says he'd be fined sixty pounds if he took | :04:42. | :04:53. | |
them out of school for a holiday. My wife has cancelled three | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
appointments. If she cannot get those appointments back they will be | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
getting fined, her loss of earnings, which they do not want to pay | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
because that will be lots, somebody is going to be paying for it. | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
Lynsey's a childminder and is looking after her own and other | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
people's children. My sister is a teacher and it does not finish at | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
the end of the day. She is constantly working weekends, | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
paperwork, planning. You think about what you can do, if I did not look | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
after them regularly, what would they do? Parents say more strikes | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
could mean more disruption. Leaving them needing a helping hand. I'm | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
joined now by Rhoda Andrew Chow from the National Union of Teachers. Good | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
evening. Parents watching tonight, will they have much sympathy? What | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
they have done for the children's education today and having to fork | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
out for childcare. Lots of the parents that I met today when we | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
were out in Sheffield were in support of the action that teachers | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
have taken. Teachers are concerned that people have been | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
inconvenienced, but they have taken the action it cause it is the last | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
resort. It is the only thing they can do. The average teaching salary | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
is £33,000 per year. 13 weeks holiday. Lots of people watching | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
would love those conditions. Why are you not happy? We would love those | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
conditions as well for other people in the public sector and the private | :06:26. | :06:37. | |
sector. We do not believe the government are driving it down. It | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
is the teachers who should continue to have good salaries. One of the | :06:40. | :06:49. | |
issues is performance related pay. Why should they not be given an | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
incentive? There has already been a pay system for a great number of | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
years but is in place that allows for teachers to be paid good and | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
fairly by introducing more performance related pay, it is going | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
to disadvantage all teachers because we can see that there will be a | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
drive down. 73% of your members either did not vote or voted against | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
the strike. What will they be thinking? Most of them will be in | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
support of the teachers that did go out today. They did not vote | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
though, did they? But the majority voted for strike action because they | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
could see that there was no alternative, Michael Gove has | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
continued... Will you meet Michael Gove? We would be willing to meet | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
with him. That is what we have wanted to do, and if he would do the | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
same as the Welsh government and meet them we would not have to go | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
forward with strikes. Good to see you. Thank you for coming in. We | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
would like to know what you think about it. Do they have a right to | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
take a stand? If you want to get in touch... | :08:03. | :08:18. | |
Many parents have been affected, we will have your thoughts on this | :08:18. | :08:29. | |
before 7pm. In a moment: The BBC is seeking nominations for the unsung | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
hero of sport 2013. We visit last year's winners. Hannah Pudsey from | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
East Yorkshire lived for eleven years after being given a new heart | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
at the age of just twelve. Today a coroner decided her death last year | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
was due to natural causes but Hannah's mother has described the | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
care her daughter received at Hull Royal Infirmary as inadequate. She | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
believes Hannah might have survived if her complicated medical history | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
had been considered. Our health correspondent, Vicky Johnson | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
reports. She was just 13 when she had her heart transplant and her | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
bravery and determination made her a poster girl for organ donation. | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
You're not the only one, there are loads of kids waiting for hearts and | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
organs. An inquest in Hull today heard how she died hours after being | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
admitted to the Royal infirmary in February last year. Doctors | :09:31. | :09:39. | |
diagnosed her with a complication of diabetes and she was transferred to | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
a specialist ward. Nobody consulted her doctors in Newcastle where she | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
was regularly monitored. Her mother told the coroner her care had been | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
inadequate. There was a lot of information not being relayed from | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
one doctor to another and she was left a long time without further | :09:55. | :10:03. | |
blood tests being ordered. The coroner said an admission to the | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
high dependency unit and the conversation with the cardiologist | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
might have made a difference. They could not save a definite that it | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
would have. He added that he was satisfied there were no missed | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
opportunities. Hannah took every opportunity to raise awareness, even | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
her 21st birthday. Lots of people never get round to doing it. They | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
say they will sign up tomorrow. That tomorrow never comes. Her mother has | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
echoed those sentiments. She has supported transplants. It is not a | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
cure but she always believed everybody should have a chance. More | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
than anything, she wanted her wedding day in July and it was a | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
shame that she did not live to fulfil that greatest wish. Well the | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
coroner related —— recorded accidental causes, the hospital | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
trust accepted they could have supported the family better. It is | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
hoped they can learn from this tragic event. A jury has failed to | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
reach a verdict, in the trial of a woman accused of paying a hit | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
who's 36 and from Hollym near Withernsea, is waiting to hear if | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
she'll have to face another trial, after the jury at Hull Crown Court | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
was discharged. Darren Wilson, who's 45 and from North Hull, was found | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
guilty of conspiracy to murder. A former Mayor of Cleethorpes has been | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
found not guilty of performing a sex act in front of children. But | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
Conservative councillor Keith Brookes was given a restraining | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
order banning him from sunbathing naked in his garden for five years. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
He denied outraging public decency at Grimsby Crown Court. Hospital | :11:47. | :11:56. | |
managers in Lincolnshire say they've made improvements to services after | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
being put into special measures. They say death rates have fallen and | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
a hundred nurses have been taken on since the hospitals in Lincoln and | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Boston were criticised in the Keogh Report. There will be a new | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
inspection early next year. The Unite trade union says that up to 13 | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
staff could lose their jobs at Bridlington Hospital under plans for | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
patient meals to be cooked off site. The proposals would see food | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
prepared in York. Managers say they will try and redeploy workers, but | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
Unite say they will oppose redundancies. Still to come: We | :12:24. | :12:37. | |
reveal which former US President has been recognised at the "home of | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
freedom". National Older People Day. Age is | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
just a number, as these ladies prove. | :12:47. | :12:58. | |
Keep your photos coming in. This was taken at RAF Coningsby by John | :12:58. | :13:22. | |
Heard. Good evening. Where's Paul? I have to get on with the forecast. He | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
is on a course. A weather forecasting course. He was the only | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
one asked to go on it. You have made my day. We will see if he is any | :13:35. | :13:46. | |
better. Tomorrow is not going to be very nice. Some beautiful sunshine | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
and we expect some rain in the forecast tomorrow. It is caught a | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
sea of this awkward at front —— it is because of this weather front. | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
The breezy conditions will be the theme of the weather for the next | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
few days. Here the satellite picture. The rain will spread | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
tomorrow. At the moment, we have some clear skies. Some variable | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
amounts of cloud. Overnight, it will break to allow some clear spells. | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
Largely drive. It will be double—figure temperatures. It will | :14:22. | :14:31. | |
remain breezy throughout. The sun will rise just 7am. It will set at | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
6:30pm. The time of high water will be 455 a.m.. —— 450 5am. As we head | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
through the morning, you can see this band of rain pushing up. There | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
will be heavy spells. It will clear off to the north. The rain will | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
become like and patchy. Still the risk of showers. Perhaps a little | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
brightness as well. It is going to be rather breezy for a time | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
tomorrow, and the wet weather and the rain will mean it feels a little | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
miserable. Temperatures will be around average for the time of | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
year, ranging from 14—16 degrees. On Thursday, it will be a decent day | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
and it will cloud over. There will be some rain towards the evening | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
hours. Scattered spells of showers coming on the weekend. You can ask | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
Paul tomorrow. The look of panic in your face when I asked where he was. | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
Fantastic. Don't get me into trouble. The damage is done. The | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
winners of last years BBC Sports Unsung Hero say the award helped | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
transform their club's profile. Tina Parker and Len Gooch won the 2012 | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
award for their work at a judo academy. Our sports reporter Simon | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
Clark has been to see how their success changed Judo in Scunthorpe. | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
Former and her father Len Gooch started the | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
Kwai Academy a decade ago in a wooden hut. Now their newly | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
refurbished centre on Scunthorpe Hebden Road is a state—of the—art | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
facility for the sport. A grant from Sport England helped but so too | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
recognition of winning the BBC's Unsung Hero award. We have achieved | :16:18. | :16:28. | |
a lot since we done it. We will improve the club and everything. | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
There has also been schools. It has got a load a bit more. It has helped | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
us overall. It is been really good. Tina and Len have always put the | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
emphasis on coaching youngsters and introducing them to the sport that | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
they love. Now they come from not only Scunthorpe but all over | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
Lincolnshire to practise, especially now the facilities are the best. | :16:48. | :16:57. | |
Since they won it has an very good because there is lots of space. They | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
have had more people coming in, people doing judo and it is a better | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
place for us. Last year there was not many people coming but now there | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
is a lot more people coming. Me and my dad, getting on with what we like | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
doing. When they were saying we were wonderful and the kids were enjoying | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
it, that is the plan. This is the trophy they were awarded. If you | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
know somebody worthy of a nomination, logon to the BBC | :17:31. | :17:42. | |
website. You will find it in the sports personality section. British | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
judo is now looking at the gym as a potential centre of excellence, all | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
helped by a nomination for the unsung hero awards. To make a | :17:51. | :18:01. | |
nomination go on to the BBC sport website. All the information is | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
there. A review into policing arrangements, | :18:02. | :18:13. | |
that led to West Yorkshire Police putting restrictions on Hull City | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
fans travelling to the Huddersfield game, has been completed. Some | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
Tigers supporters boycotted the match in March against Huddersfield | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Town in protest, after being told they could only travel to the | :18:22. | :18:30. | |
stadium using club transport. They will be without their top scorer for | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
a month. Tom Brady, after having an operation, has been ruled out. The | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
winger Tom Briscoe has been selected as part of Steve MacNamara's England | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
squad for the Rugby League World Cup. Briscoe scored twice in Hull's | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
final game of the season which was also his last for the club as he | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
will move to another un—named team this winter. England will play Fiji | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
at the KC Stadium on the 9th of November. I think we have got some | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
ability to finish off some things. We have got some genuine speed. That | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
is how an international team should be. Most of the attributes needed to | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
compete. We know the teams we are competing against the will have that | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
as well so it is game on. England have wailed —— England have named | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
the team 20 squad including an athlete from our area. The team will | :19:32. | :19:42. | |
tourist really over the winter. A big response on the subject of | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
libraries, and a petition against plans to cut libraries. The County | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
Council wants volunteers to take over their running as it seeks to | :19:51. | :20:00. | |
save money. There's been a mixed response on this subject. Dave in | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
Lincoln says it's important libraries are kept open, saying, | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
"Whilst it is recognised that a minority of people use a library, | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
these tend to be the vulnerable and disadvantaged in our society — the | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
elderly, unemployed and children. We must protect their interests." But | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Stewart Waddell in Grimsby disagrees. He says, "Libraries are | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
used by the few and paid for by the many, close them all and save us | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
taxpayers the money". Kevin in Goole is also happy to see libraries | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
closed. He says "People have to move with the times. Libraries are not as | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
essential as they used to be hence cuts. I would prefer my taxes to go | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
to more essential services." Thank you for those. Here is one of the | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
most famous American presidents, and today, Abraham Lincoln has been | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
commemorated in the same place as William Wilberforce. It is thanks to | :20:45. | :20:55. | |
a monument. Called the Wall of Names, it honours the world's most | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
influential human rights campaigners. And today, people | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
travelled from the USA to see the latest name added to it. Anne—Marie | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
Tasker was there. Songs from the Hope Choir greeted the hundred | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
people who'd come to see the latest addition to Hull's Wall of Names. | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
Watched by dignitaries and helped by schoolchildren from Hull, the US | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
Embassy's Cultural Attache unveiled the name Abraham Lincoln. It was a | :21:16. | :21:26. | |
huge honour for me, personally, as an admirer of Abraham Lincoln, but | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
as an American to see that in every corner of the UK they honour and | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
recognise the significance of Abraham Lincoln and his role in | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
history and human rights. That speech has been made by how many | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
sons since the war began? Lincoln is known worldwide. He's been | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
immortalised in film — and the only historical figures more written | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
about than him are Jesus and Napoleon. He's not just one of | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
America's most famous presidents but the man who abolished slavery in the | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
US. And that's why he's been recognised on the wall that stands | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
in the shadow of the birthplace of anti—slavery campaigner William | :22:02. | :22:10. | |
Wilberforce. This is an incredibly memorable occasion, to have the 16th | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
president of the United States recognised on this great Wall is | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
quite an honour. of William Wilberforce because of | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
the deeds they did in bringing slavery to an end. Abraham Lincoln | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
at the same time, positions himself alongside those figures. There is a | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
connection there and we celebrate that. The wall already honours the | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
world's most famous freedom campaigners — Nelson Mandela, Martin | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
Luther King, Sylvia Pankhurst and Hull's William Wilberforce. On the | :22:40. | :22:48. | |
150th anniversary of his speech that freed slaves in America — Abraham | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
Lincoln joins them. Anne—Marie is live in Hull's museums quarter | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
tonight, why are today's events so significant? Is in the building | :22:57. | :23:07. | |
behind this whole they study slavery and emancipation and there are fewer | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
more globally recognised names than Abraham Lincoln. The reason it has | :23:10. | :23:17. | |
gone up now, it is 150 years since he gave the speech that led to the | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
end of slavery. It is probably not the last time we are going to honour | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
him here in Hull. Should it become the City of Culture in 2017 there | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
are plans for a huge exhibition. It will look at Abraham Lincoln and | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
William Wilberforce. In that case, in giving his name on the wall | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
behind me will be just the first step in paying tribute. —— | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
engraving. Flags have been flying as Lincolnshire Day is celebrated | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
across the county. It's the seventh year that people have marked what's | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
special about the country. to mark the moment when the county | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
rebelled against the King almost 500 years ago. You would never describe | :24:00. | :24:14. | |
the Rolling Stones or Dame Judi Dench as helpless pensioners but | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
many older people still get a bad press. Seen as a burden on society. | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
Today is National Older People's Day, and an event was held at Hull's | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
Guildhall to celebrate the aging process and show that 'growing up' | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
doesn't necessarily mean 'growing old'. | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
Sarah Walton went along to learn a thing or two. Showing us how it | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
should be done, meet Jeanne and David, dancing partners for 25 | :24:41. | :24:50. | |
years. I'm 74. 65. How old do you feel? About 34. 94 on bad days. | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
Despite that, the couple want to encourage people to stay active. | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
Unfortunately with society, the older person gets weary of being out | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
and about. So the organisers here want to show people it doesn't have | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
to be that way. We have people in their 80s and 90s here who do not | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
feel old. What we have evidence of an shown is they do not appear old. | :25:18. | :25:27. | |
They are not alone. Hilary Clinton could be the next US president, the | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
most powerful 73—year—old Dame Judi Dench got her | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
pension before she got her first Oscar. And despite a combined age of | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
nearly 300, the Rolling Stones headlined the Glastonbury festival. | :25:37. | :25:46. | |
Even though the event is about letting people know what support | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
there is, it is about celebrating what it means to get older. Meet | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
Phyllis, who's just turned 100. Sometimes I feel as if I can let | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
myself go. Just try telling this lot to grow old gracefully. | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
Let's have a recap of the headlines: Ed Miliband takes on the Daily Mail | :26:10. | :26:19. | |
over criticism of his late father. Lessons across east Yorkshire and | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
Lincolnshire have been disrupted. 250 schools are affected by teaching | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
strikes. Tomorrow's weather is dry and bright and breezy with some | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
outbreaks of rain. Some of them will be heavy. Top temperatures still | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
mild. Getting up to 16 Celsius. A good response on the subject of | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
teachers. They should join the real world, says one person. The rest of | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
us have performance related pay. We also have to pay huge pension | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
contributions compared to their scheme. I have no sympathy. Phil | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
says, my two boys are off school and totally support the teachers. Time | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
to stop the Tory rewind of the 20th century. This striking teachers says | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
they are not childminders, went to university for four years and are | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
striking —— standing up for the rights of young people and my | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
rights. This one says, all those against the teachers strike, try | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
being a teacher for a week or two then I will listen to your opinion. | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
Presumably she is a teacher. John says, how can teachers argue against | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
performance related pay? The rest of us have had it for 20 years. | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
Goodbye. | :27:38. | :27:41. |
