Hello. I'm Tom Williams. on bids the BBC News

:00:00.:00:17.

Hello. I'm Tom Williams. Fire fighters have held a

:00:18.:00:19.

demonstration in Essex this afternoon, as crews across the

:00:20.:00:25.

region walked out on strike. The current 12`hour stoppage is the

:00:26.:00:27.

longest of three strikes this weekend, as the dispute over

:00:28.:00:30.

pensions remains deadlocked. Fire fighters from across Essex

:00:31.:00:32.

attended this afternoon's demonstrations in Chelmsford.

:00:33.:00:37.

Members of the Fire Brigades Union said they are angry at the lack of

:00:38.:00:41.

progress in this dispute. The FBU nationally has been in talks

:00:42.:00:49.

with the Government for 17 weeks. And, unfortunately, the Government

:00:50.:00:52.

is refusing to budge whatsoever with regards to a pension. As far as we

:00:53.:00:55.

are concerned, it isn't fit for purpose.

:00:56.:00:57.

Full`time crews in Cambridge are among those who joined the weekend

:00:58.:01:02.

stoppages. Kerry will have to work until 60 under the present

:01:03.:01:04.

proposals. It is a huge risk for me,

:01:05.:01:07.

particularly, as a woman fire fighter. The majority of fire

:01:08.:01:13.

fighters won't be able to pass current fitness standards at the age

:01:14.:01:17.

of 55 and over, up to 60. It is a huge risk to us losing our jobs.

:01:18.:01:20.

Fire brigades across the region have contingency plans for cover during

:01:21.:01:23.

the strike. With shifts being covered by management and non`FBU

:01:24.:01:26.

members. All emergencies will be responded

:01:27.:01:31.

to. Inevitably, that level of service will not be that normally

:01:32.:01:35.

expected. We ask the public to take extra care and be mindful.

:01:36.:01:39.

In Milton Keynes yesterday, stand`by crews helped out at a fatal crash.

:01:40.:01:47.

Although it happened before the walk`out was due to start, the

:01:48.:01:50.

Buckinghamshire Fire Service isn't letting strikers do only part of

:01:51.:01:54.

their shift. The Government claim blames the FBU for breaking off

:01:55.:01:57.

talks, and says its pension offer remains generous.

:01:58.:02:01.

As you may have heard, a woman's been arrested on suspicion of

:02:02.:02:04.

assaulting a resident at a care home in Essex. Seven staff at the Old

:02:05.:02:08.

Deanery in Braintree were sacked, after a BBC Panorama programme

:02:09.:02:11.

showed residents being bullied and humiliated. Today, Essex Police said

:02:12.:02:14.

anyone who's witnessed abuse or neglect at the home should contact

:02:15.:02:17.

them. To the football. 94 years in the

:02:18.:02:21.

Football League, and Northampton Town have earned a 95th. The

:02:22.:02:24.

Cobblers escaped the drop, winning 3`1 against boss Chris Wilder's

:02:25.:02:29.

former side. He left Oxford in January, joining Northampton when

:02:30.:02:31.

they were bottom. But victory today meant they completed a remarkable

:02:32.:02:37.

turnaround. Elsewhere, Southend won. They finish fifth, and will play

:02:38.:02:40.

Burton again in the play`offs, starting next Sunday.

:02:41.:02:43.

On the final day of the Football League, Ipswich finished with a win.

:02:44.:02:47.

Smith and Green scored in a 2`1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.

:02:48.:02:50.

Town end up ninth in the Championship. Boss Mick McCarthy

:02:51.:02:52.

admitted he's delighted with their progress.

:02:53.:02:56.

In League One, relegated Stevenage lost, to finish bottom.

:02:57.:03:01.

No luck for MK Dons either. Peterborough head into the play`offs

:03:02.:03:04.

where they'll play Leyton Orient. Colchester finished 16th, after

:03:05.:03:09.

beating Walsall. In the Premier League, the trapdoor

:03:10.:03:12.

is opening for Norwich who now know they need at least a draw at Chelsea

:03:13.:03:16.

tomorrow to survive. Sunderland's surprising win at Man U today gives

:03:17.:03:19.

them a three`point advantage over the Canaries who have a vastly

:03:20.:03:22.

inferior goal difference. Not helped by last week's thumping at Old

:03:23.:03:25.

Trafford. They're now staring at relegation.

:03:26.:03:33.

We have two games left. We need to put everything into that. We can't

:03:34.:03:42.

mope around, saying, we've got to beat Manchester United. We have

:03:43.:03:45.

another tough game again this weekend. We need to make sure we are

:03:46.:03:48.

right, and put everything in place to give ourselves the best chance at

:03:49.:03:51.

the weekend. Meanwhile, Cambridge United tomorrow

:03:52.:03:53.

hope to set up another trip to Wembley. After winning the FA

:03:54.:03:56.

Trophy, the Us play the second leg of their Conference play`off

:03:57.:03:58.

semifinal, trailing Halifax 1`0. Luton, meanwhile, enjoy their

:03:59.:04:00.

promotion parade tomorrow. In the rugby: Northampton remain

:04:01.:04:03.

second in the Premiership, and in prime position to secure a play`off

:04:04.:04:09.

semifinal at home. In a thrilling climax last night, Bath looked like

:04:10.:04:12.

they'd won it with a late penalty, only for Stephen Myler to respond

:04:13.:04:16.

and level it up at 19`19 in the dying seconds.

:04:17.:04:18.

Time for the weather, and here's Sara Thornton.

:04:19.:04:23.

Good evening. A chilly start this morning and another chilly start in

:04:24.:04:26.

prospect for tomorrow. A cold and frosty night tonight for many of us.

:04:27.:04:30.

A ground frost quite widely, and air frost. Tomorrow, plenty of sunshine

:04:31.:04:35.

to start, some cloud advancing in the afternoon. Sunshine will turn

:04:36.:04:41.

hazy, but we are dry again for tomorrow. A top temperature of a

:04:42.:04:45.

degree on today, in the mid`teens, typically, 15 Celsius. Bank holiday

:04:46.:04:50.

Monday stays dry. Scotland and North East England.

:04:51.:06:14.

Showers continuing across north-west England. The odd shower in North

:06:15.:06:18.

Wales and Midlands but generally the southern half of the UK and dry with

spells of
