now. There is more throughout the evening | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
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 | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
spells of | :06:21. | :06:21. |
