:03:54. > :03:56.about whether they're going to go to work tomorrow think about the pupils
:03:57. > :04:02.and think of their customers and people whose lives will be disrupted
:04:03. > :04:04.if this action goes ahead. But people are going on strhke
:04:05. > :04:09.because they say it is getthng harder and harder to pay, for
:04:10. > :04:14.example, the weekly food bill. Your government is saying we're not even
:04:15. > :04:19.halfway these austerity measures. Is it going to get even harder for them
:04:20. > :04:22.to survive? Of course, dealing with the enormous
:04:23. > :04:29.deficit this country was left with takes time. We have got a plan. The
:04:30. > :04:33.long`term plan is working. Xes, this is necessary, but the questhon is
:04:34. > :04:41.how to get through difficult Financial Times. And striking and
:04:42. > :04:47.being disruptive and undermhning public services is not the way.
:04:48. > :04:50.Let me put it this way. When can those people who are going out on
:04:51. > :04:59.strike tomorrow expect a pax rise? That is what they want to know.
:05:00. > :05:02.It depends on many factors. It depends on performance at work, for
:05:03. > :05:07.instance in schools we now have performance related pay. But it also
:05:08. > :05:12.depends on making sure the country can live within her means. We have
:05:13. > :05:18.got to make sure that happens. We have a plan, the plan is working.
:05:19. > :05:26.You have a plan to do it by 201 , so no pay rise until then?
:05:27. > :05:31.The plan is to get to surplts in 2018, but this year there is a one
:05:32. > :05:36.percentage rise. In the past there was a freeze. That did not `ffect
:05:37. > :05:40.the lowest paid public sector workers.
:05:41. > :05:44.What do you see to many of our viewers who may be preparing to go
:05:45. > :05:50.on strike tomorrow who feel that you are actually dismissing the strength
:05:51. > :05:55.of feeling that they have and the difficulty they are having hn making
:05:56. > :05:59.ends meet? This action that we are takhng to
:06:00. > :06:06.turn the economy around is necessary. It isn't what I came into
:06:07. > :06:08.politics for, but it is our duty to keep going with the plan whhch is
:06:09. > :06:13.self evidently working. Well let's have a proper ch`t to
:06:14. > :06:16.our Political Correspondent Andrew How much disruption is
:06:17. > :06:26.the Government expecting tolorrow? Ministers accept there will be
:06:27. > :06:30.disruption and many people will not go into work, but they are not
:06:31. > :06:35.expecting the region to grind to a halt, brats because many people are
:06:36. > :06:40.not members of unions and there will be enough people to keep thhngs
:06:41. > :06:44.running. But ministers don't think there is a vast amount of ptblic
:06:45. > :06:46.support for strikes. They s`y everyone has been affected by
:06:47. > :06:50.austerity and they believe lany people will say, why should public
:06:51. > :06:53.sector workers get special treatment? One minister said to me
:06:54. > :06:55.he thought this would be more damaging for trade unions and Labour
:06:56. > :07:07.than for the government. There are official line is that they
:07:08. > :07:13.will not support the strike but they do not condemn people who w`nt
:07:14. > :07:17.better wages. Many of their left`wing candidates are prhvately
:07:18. > :07:25.saying that the Labour Partx should be fighting with workers. The other
:07:26. > :07:29.thing is, this Labour Party is committed to this government's

:08:13. > :08:16.But the way things have gond with this dispute, we are being treated
:08:17. > :08:20.so badly that the only way we can get our point forward is

:24:16. > :24:22.adapt and change. Styles cole and go. We are very lucky at thd moment
:24:23. > :24:32.that hats and caps are popular again. All of a sudden, caps are
:24:33. > :24:40.very trendy. The business h`s an annual turnover of ?1.7 million It
:24:41. > :24:47.is a source of immense pridd. A centenary is something to bd
:24:48. > :24:51.praised. A family business, especially, when lots of falily
:24:52. > :24:58.members are involved, it is something quite special to get to
:24:59. > :25:03.100 years. Fathers and Sons work together in the cutting rool as well
:25:04. > :25:07.as the boardroom. The next target is expansion into the American market.
:25:08. > :25:22.And so to the weather. We had unseasonably windy wdather
:25:23. > :25:26.weather front is pushing in from the weather front is pushing in from the
:25:27. > :25:33.east and it will bring some patchy rain later on. You can look at the
:25:34. > :25:36.satellite chat and you can see this large bank of cloud making hts way
:25:37. > :25:42.westwards through this afternoon. Eastern counties have already got a
:25:43. > :25:49.big blanket of cloud out thdre. You may see a glimmer of sunshine if you
:25:50. > :25:53.are in advert. This cloud whll track westwards overnight. It will bring
:25:54. > :25:58.light and patchy rain. That will arrive into the early hours of
:25:59. > :26:05.tomorrow morning. A lot of cloud. Temperatures will likely to stay in
:26:06. > :26:10.the mid`teens for most of us. The breeze will continue overnight. It
:26:11. > :26:15.will ease tomorrow. Tomorrow does not look so windy. This is where we
:26:16. > :26:21.are tomorrow. The weather front is heading westwards. Warmer and more
:26:22. > :26:26.humid air behind it. There will also be a line of rain on it. Thd
:26:27. > :26:30.significance of that is that although most of us will sed a bit
:26:31. > :26:35.of patchy rain or drizzle, `s it heads westwards, it is likely to
:26:36. > :26:38.become more persistent and heavy. The end of the day looks as if it
:26:39. > :26:44.could be quite wet for Westdrn counties. Essex likely to sde
:26:45. > :26:50.something brighter by the end of the day. Quite a shift in temperatures
:26:51. > :26:59.depending on which half of the leading you are based. Eventually,
:27:00. > :27:04.that rain will clear away. Ht looks as if by the end of the day, it will
:27:05. > :27:11.become largely dry. When we get to Friday, a brief grades of hhgh
:27:12. > :27:16.pressure. Perhaps a risk of a shower. Whether systems pushing in
:27:17. > :27:22.from the West for the weekend. A mixed bag with sunshine and showers.
:27:23. > :27:28.Friday is looking pretty good. We get to the weekend and it whll warm
:27:29. > :27:32.up. Feeling humid for Fridax and Saturday. The morning is looking
:27:33. > :27:35.good with sunshine but the `fternoon with the showers which could be
:27:36. > :27:40.heavy and punditry. Thank you very much. We will be back tomorrow night
:27:41. > :27:42.at the same time and same place Thank you for your company, good
:27:43. > :27:56.night. and this time the challenge
:27:57. > :27:59.is bigger than ever. Six young songwriters
:28:00. > :28:02.mark a major anniversary. It'll be really difficult
:28:03. > :28:07.to write a song for World War I They're really going to have to put
:28:08. > :28:10.themselves in those people's shoes. Guys, did that go perfectly?
:28:11. > :28:15.Did we forget the tune? I just don't want to mess it up
:28:16. > :28:17.There's a lot of pressure. A brand-new series
