The Chancellor seems to think so and when he opens his red box on | :00:55. | :00:58. | |

living and how much private sector companies pay should be taken into | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
account. But it's not popular among trade unionists. We are very, very | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
angry about this. What George Osborne's effectively saying is | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
that he wants nurses, care workers, hospital cleaners, who live in the | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Midlands and the north of the country to take a pay cut to fund | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
his 50p tax cut for millionaires living in the south of the country, | :01:21. | :01:24. | |

claims public sector workers earn on average 8% more than those in | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
comparable jobs in the private sector. The gap is 18% in Wales, | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
13% in Yorkshire, the Humber and the east of England and 0.5% in the | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
south-east of England. It is odd that in the public sector | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
you earn a different amount relative to costs of living and the | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
private sector in different parts of the country. That has an effect | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
on the economy, an effect on the quality of public services. Up to | :02:08. | :02:10. | |

maximum security prison where charges will be filed and where, in | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
time, prosecuters will indicate whether they'll seek the death | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
penalty. The Afghan President has already | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
raised the temperature, after meeting relatives of the dead, | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Hamid Karzai accused Washington of not sharing information and he | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
appeared to echo the suspicions of villagers that more than one US | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
soldiers had been involved. story of the village elders is | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
entirely different. They believe it is not possible for one person to | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
