:00:10. > :00:15.workers in East Yorkshire and lipping shire take part in what
:00:15. > :00:18.unions call the biggest strike for a generation. -- Lincolnshire.
:00:18. > :00:26.worked for 16 years. This is something I really, really believe
:00:27. > :00:30.in. Almost 200 schools are affected and other services close as workers
:00:31. > :00:34.down tools. Also on the programme tonight, why
:00:35. > :00:42.this controversial private road to an MP's house will be dug up less
:00:42. > :00:46.than a month after it was laid. And the children preparing to sing on
:00:46. > :00:51.stage with one of the world's biggest soul groups.
:00:51. > :01:01.$$TRANSMIT. Join me me for a detailed forecast including a look

:01:04. > :01:09.at this weekend's weather in 15 It has been called premature and
:01:09. > :01:13.wrong. Today, thousands of public sector work ers across East
:01:13. > :01:16.Yorkshire and Lincolnshire walked out in a row over pensions. Schools
:01:16. > :01:19.have been the biggest casualty with thousands of teach urs out on
:01:19. > :01:23.strike. In East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire over 150
:01:23. > :01:28.schools have been closed or partially closed while in
:01:28. > :01:31.Lincolnshire it is estimated around 40 schools have been disrupted.
:01:31. > :01:34.Across Britain, unions estimate hundreds of thousands of people
:01:34. > :01:38.have taken to the streets to protest in what's been described as
:01:38. > :01:44.the biggest action of its kind in a generation. In a moment, we'll look
:01:44. > :01:47.at what impact it has had in this area.
:01:47. > :01:51.First here's Crispin Rolfe. They rallied in their hundreds across
:01:51. > :01:56.Lincoln and Hull. The strikes involved not just teachers but
:01:56. > :02:02.coastguards, lecturers and even defence transport striving driving
:02:02. > :02:10.instructors. And all for just one reason. ALL:: No cuts no pension
:02:10. > :02:15.cuts. Why now? The evidence we are being shown is there is no deficit
:02:15. > :02:20.yet they are still asking us for more money. I don't under Stan that.
:02:20. > :02:27.Everyone is having to take a slice of pain. Why not teachers? We
:02:27. > :02:30.already have. We've taken it for three years. In the war over words
:02:30. > :02:33.between Government and the unions, image is everything. It is
:02:33. > :02:37.interesting to note some other teaching unions criticised this
:02:37. > :02:42.strike. The question for parents across East Yorkshire and
:02:42. > :02:47.Lincolnshire is what they will make of seeing teachers protesting like
:02:47. > :02:54.students instead of teaching them. I don't think we are acting like
:02:54. > :03:00.students. We are exacting our democratic rights. The Government
:03:00. > :03:03.says the public sector pension bill are rise to �30 billion pie 2015,
:03:03. > :03:09.many protesters feel betrayed by the sudden change in terms. Frpblgs
:03:09. > :03:13.we'll work for loppinger periods of time, pay more into our pension and
:03:13. > :03:22.receive less. I'm concerned the way the Government's presenting this as
:03:22. > :03:26.an attack on gold- -plated Government sector cuts.
:03:26. > :03:31.Would parents want their children and grandchildren? I wouldn't want
:03:31. > :03:35.to have them being taught by a dad's army of teachers. But the
:03:35. > :03:39.Government maintains the pensions burden is unsustainable. Whether
:03:39. > :03:43.there is more disruption or a return to talks this is one area
:03:43. > :03:46.where they are not prepared to U- turn frplt the number of placards
:03:46. > :03:52.show the strept of feeling but the question for the Government is how
:03:52. > :04:00.do they balance the books with a deficit they claim are in existence.
:04:00. > :04:06.It is a problem the country, they argue, simply has to face. With
:04:06. > :04:09.hundreds of teachers on strike and a number of other civil servants
:04:10. > :04:14.protesting today, what has the impact been? Simon Spark has been
:04:14. > :04:19.finding out. With nearly 200 schools disrupted
:04:19. > :04:23.today, the biggest impact of the strikes was always going to be on
:04:23. > :04:29.childcare. This playgroup in Hull saw more children having to attend
:04:29. > :04:35.with some frus straighted parents. It is stupid. School's school. They
:04:35. > :04:39.say about keeping your kids off if they are ill but they keep the kids
:04:39. > :04:42.off just cos they want more money. But some accepted what was
:04:42. > :04:48.happening. It is inconvenient for some. There is a cost itch kaigs.
:04:48. > :04:51.But, people have to stand up for their rights -- implication.
:04:51. > :04:54.other areas, different professions supported the cause. These men are
:04:54. > :05:00.Lincolnshire prison officers. They are not allowed to strike but have
:05:00. > :05:04.taken annual leave to support today's action. For prison officers
:05:04. > :05:07.working on landings, restraininging prisoners at the age of 66 is
:05:07. > :05:12.ludicrous. There was similar support at Hull Prison. Staff using
:05:12. > :05:17.their lunch break to protest. But apart from minor dis ruption, most
:05:17. > :05:22.services were unaffected. Jobcentres stayed open. So did the
:05:22. > :05:27.courts and the coastguard kept on a skeleton crew. Many are still going
:05:27. > :05:32.into work because lives are at risk. They are work hard for that low pay.
:05:32. > :05:36.But they are thoroughly behind this fight, along with everybody else.
:05:37. > :05:40.The public bearing the effects of today's action spoke of their hope
:05:40. > :05:46.for a quick resolution. The possibility of that is still
:05:46. > :05:52.unknown. Nick Boles is the Tory MP for gram
:05:52. > :05:55.tham and Saddam for the and the Parliamentary Private Secretary to
:05:55. > :05:59.the Schools Minister. I spoke to him a while ago asking him what he
:05:59. > :06:03.thought to today's industrial action. I think they were wrong. I
:06:03. > :06:07.want to pay tribute to the many public sector workers, even members
:06:07. > :06:11.of the unions who called the strike, who wept to work. Three quarters of
:06:11. > :06:16.the nation's schools were open today. Some did go on strike. We
:06:16. > :06:19.are in the middle of discussions firstly. We have not reached a
:06:19. > :06:22.final position. It seems pretty strange to go on strike snt middle
:06:22. > :06:25.of a discussion that the Government's entered into in good
:06:25. > :06:29.faith. These strikers claim your Government wants to rip up the
:06:29. > :06:35.contracts it has with them and change the rules part way through
:06:35. > :06:39.their working lives. That is not true. We've made clear all through
:06:39. > :06:42.this accrued rights, the rights people have earned in their career
:06:42. > :06:47.to date will be maintained. We are talking about future arrangements.
:06:47. > :06:50.Yes, that means for people who are currently teachers, their pensions
:06:50. > :06:57.would be changed for the years that are left in their working lives.
:06:57. > :07:03.But what we have to look at is we are paying, as a Government, and
:07:03. > :07:09.that means the taxpayers are paying, over 14% contribution into
:07:09. > :07:14.teachers' pensionerss -- pensionss. Name me anyone in private sector
:07:14. > :07:18.which gets that level of contribution. The A TL have never
:07:18. > :07:22.been on strike before. What else could they do to get their message
:07:22. > :07:25.across? We've understood the message already. That was loud and
:07:26. > :07:30.clear. We didn't need people to actually cause children's education
:07:30. > :07:34.to be in ter upted. Many working parents to have to take a day off
:07:34. > :07:38.work. Businesses to actually lose business because they've lost
:07:38. > :07:43.employees who have to look after their kids. That is entirely
:07:43. > :07:47.irresponsible behaviour on the part of the union leadership. Just not
:07:47. > :07:52.constructive when the whole country's facing a really serious
:07:52. > :07:56.problem and we all have a tighten our belts. Hasn't coalition
:07:56. > :07:59.mishandled this? Especially the chief Treasury Secretary saying the
:07:59. > :08:04.Government wouldn't back down over pension reform. The Government
:08:04. > :08:08.doesn't seem prepared to reach any compromise and that's what's wound
:08:08. > :08:13.everyone up? We're not backing down on pension reform. But we are open
:08:13. > :08:16.to suggestions as to how to reform pensions. What we have to do is ask
:08:16. > :08:20.whether it is fair for taxpayers who are working in the private
:08:20. > :08:24.sector, who could only dream of pensions like people in the public
:08:24. > :08:29.sector get, to pay taxes to contribute to enable people in the
:08:29. > :08:33.public sector to retire several year earlier then them on final
:08:33. > :08:36.salary schemes that are very, very generous. I just don't think that's
:08:36. > :08:43.fair. I don't think most people in the country think that's fair.
:08:43. > :08:49.Thank you very much. The Conservative MP nick bowls. Now
:08:49. > :08:52.the strikes are over, let me know your thoughts. Have teachers and
:08:52. > :08:56.civil servants made their point today. If you're a teacher watching
:08:56. > :09:06.tonight, do you feel today's strikes will change anything? Was
:09:06. > :09:19.
:09:19. > :09:23.it worth it. If you're parents as After last night's programme, which
:09:23. > :09:33.was later than normal, a big response on this support story. A

:10:57. > :11:04.Workers laid the drive using materials left over from road
:11:04. > :11:08.repairs on Hengate. But the move led the MP to being strongly
:11:08. > :11:14.criticised. Paul, this is an unusual story,
:11:15. > :11:20.putting a tiny lane in Beverley in the national headlines? Who would
:11:20. > :11:25.have thought, Peter, 50 metres of Tarmac could provoke such a furious
:11:25. > :11:31.row. There are those who belief using waste Tarmac in this way is a
:11:31. > :11:35.great use of resources and saves on landfill. Those who believe that Mr
:11:35. > :11:40.Stuart should not benefit from publicly-funded Tarmac and
:11:40. > :11:44.neighbours who believe this ancient lane has been vandalised by its use.
:11:44. > :11:50.Earlier, we spoke to one of Mr Stuart's political opponents who
:11:50. > :11:54.has reported him to the Parliamentmentry ombudsman. This is
:11:54. > :11:59.very much a judgment call. I feel a great amount of sympathy for the
:11:59. > :12:02.neighbours who have been very upset by this. The fact Graham allowed
:12:02. > :12:08.this to happen in the first place and that he can't see the
:12:08. > :12:13.legitimate point we are making about him de deriving an indirect
:12:13. > :12:18.benefit. He refusing to recognise that shows bad judgment on both
:12:18. > :12:24.parts. I gather Mr Stuart's fallen out with his neighbours over there
:12:24. > :12:27.as well? They quite liked their lane with all its potholes. They
:12:27. > :12:31.didn't want Tarmac on it. They claim the Stuarts have never
:12:31. > :12:36.consulted them about laying the Tarmac in the first place. Here's
:12:36. > :12:44.what one had to say a little earlier. It is a quiet, tranquil
:12:44. > :12:51.little back lane, been that like that over a00 years. Nobody wanted
:12:51. > :12:56.the Tarmac down: When Mrs Stuart built her house, that was a problem
:12:56. > :13:00.in itself with all the traffic and etc. Afterwards, she asked how she
:13:00. > :13:04.might repair the lane, and the one thing we said was we don't want
:13:04. > :13:08.Tarmac down the lane. Mr Stuart himself has issued a statement
:13:08. > :13:12.tonight which says it was his wife who asked for the Tarmac to the
:13:13. > :13:17.laid. No payment was taken-the- contractors didn't know who she was
:13:17. > :13:21.and it was a good use of waste Tarmac. This tale has more twists
:13:21. > :13:26.and turns than the lane itself. On Monday, the contractors will turn
:13:26. > :13:31.up again to dig it all up. It is hoped that after that, peace might
:13:31. > :13:36.break out in Beverley, although those neighbourly feelings might
:13:36. > :13:46.take some time a heal over. Paul, thank you.
:13:46. > :13:46.
:13:46. > :13:52.The time is 7 .42. Still ahead tonight: The final Cod Wars forced

:15:03. > :15:07.showers coming in across East Yorkshire and into northern parts
:15:07. > :15:12.of Lincolnshire. Those showers will continue to feed in from the north-

:15:51. > :15:54.over during the day. The afternoon mostly dry. Rather cloudy. Some

:18:27. > :18:32.whether the care hopes are appropriately placed in the air yas
:18:32. > :18:37.where there are a great deal of need. The local authority needs to

:19:43. > :19:50.look at life on the dorks, Jo Makel has been considering the changing
:19:50. > :19:54.fortunes of the Humber. A traditional way of life was about
:19:54. > :20:03.to change forever as the fishermen found themselves at the heart of a
:20:03. > :20:06.political storm. I protest on behalf of imagine's Government.
:20:07. > :20:13.Your action is illegal. Trawler nets were cut and ships were rammed
:20:13. > :20:17.as the third and final cod war escalated out of control. It got
:20:17. > :20:22.rough in between the Icelandics and English trawlers. There was some
:20:22. > :20:27.arpblgy bargey. Tried to push them out of the way. It got very heated
:20:28. > :20:32.at times. I was fishing in Iceland one time, a gun boat captain got
:20:32. > :20:36.irate and shot at one of the trawlers. Iceland wanted to ban
:20:36. > :20:41.foreign trawlers from her waters but the fishermen were prepared to
:20:42. > :20:47.fight back in any way they could. They gave us extra very, very large
:20:47. > :20:53.bags of pepper. You were told to make small pepper bombs to throw at
:20:53. > :20:59.the Icelandic gum boats. Sometimes the gum boat was coming up to you.
:20:59. > :21:02.Sometimes we had sacks of spuds and pelted them at them. In 1976, the
:21:02. > :21:08.British Government gave in to international pressure and agreed
:21:08. > :21:13.to the ban. The most important fishing grounds were lost. The moj
:21:13. > :21:17.ority of fishermen put the blame on Governments and politicians rather
:21:17. > :21:23.than the Icelanders. The ships which were working, there was that
:21:23. > :21:28.much of a Scrabble for jobs you'd had 100 going after one job. It was
:21:28. > :21:33.sad to see. The Cod Wars started the decline of the fishing industry
:21:33. > :21:37.in this area but the commercial docks have spent the last 20 years

:25:58. > :26:03.as well. They was very proud of me. They know The Drifters. They are
:26:03. > :26:07.very famous. They were quite surprised. Tonight, the children
