1,000 jobs are to be axed by Coventry City Council. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
The authority says it needs to save ?60 million pounds | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
because of reduced funding from Government | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
and hopes all posts will be lost through voluntary redundancy. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
But a union has warned that the city's public services | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
will be left on the brink of "collapse". | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Four years ago, these Coventry City Council workers | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Today, the authority says there's more pain to come. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
They want to axe another 1,000 posts ` | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
the loss of one in six jobs over the next three years. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
allows people who want to leave to leave | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
and after that we will be able to re`divert remaining workers | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
into services that protect the most vulnerable. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
The move, expected to be signed off next month, | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
will no longer be Coventry's largest employer. | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
There is a danger of collapse of services. | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
Although government is talking about a recovery, | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
certainly in Coventry, the jobs are not there. | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
So if you make people redundant, where will they go for a job? | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
The authority couldn't tell us which services will be reduced | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
but they'll protect the jobs of social workers. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
following the tragic death of Daniel Pelka | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
and pressure to implement recommendations | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
Here, building work's underway on the Friargate business district ` | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Coventry City Council plans to move many staff here | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
as part of a wider scheme costing ?59 million. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
A similar sum the Council says it's losing from central government. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Do you think you have got your spending priorities wrong | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
The move to Friargate, the new building | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
close to the train station, will save us money. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
That is going to save us around ?500,000 a year. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Labour and councils have been speaking | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
about something called a graph of doom. | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
It marks the point at which key public services | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
And this authority says they could reach that moment | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
A man's died after becoming ill at the Global Gathering festival | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
The 20`year`old was taken from the event at Long Marston airfield | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
to Warwick Hospital but medics were unable to revive him. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Warwickshire police are treating the death as unexplained | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
and a post mortem examination is due to take place later. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
in connection with a fatal shooting in Rugby. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
The body of a man, in his 20s was found in a vehicle | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
A car was seen speeding away from the scene. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Warwickshire police say passengers on the X44 bus may be key witnesses | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
and are appealing for anyone who might have seen a silver hatchback | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
Hundreds of people have been taking part | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
in a march in Birmingham to protest against the fighting in Gaza. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
The West Midlands Palestine Solidarity Campaign | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
organised the march from Sparkbrook to the city centre. | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
A letter was handed into BBC Birmingham | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
ahead of a rally on the steps of the Mailbox. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
Time for a look at what's been happening at the Commonwealth Games. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
A second gold medal for Oldbury's Jodie Stimpson | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
She teamed up with the gold and silver medallist | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
and the bronze medallist, Vicky Holland, from the women's event. | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
It feels quite special. The last time we did the relay, things did | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
not work out. This is pretty special. | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
In swimming, Amy Smith from Kidderminster | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
are both through to the semifinals of the 50 metres butterfly. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Amy will also compete in the final | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
of the 50 metres freestyle later this evening. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
Then there's the final for medal favourite Adam Peaty | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
from Uttoxeter, who broke his own record | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
at the 100 metre breaststroke semifinals last night. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
In the cycling, Andy Tennant from Wolverhampton | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
is through to the cycling points race final | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
and Jess Varnish from Bromsgrove narrowly missed out on silver | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
and will compete for bronze in the cycling sprint. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
The weather now, here's Charlie Slater. | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
Good evening. Police to say that if you sick and tired of being hot and | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
bothered, it will be cooler tomorrow. We have some showers which | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
could be heavy and thundery as be going to be early hours of Sunday | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
morning. It will still be another warm night. As we go through into | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Sunday, it will be a cooler day. There will be a lot of cloud around | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
with a view showers in northern parts but those temperatures are | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
down to the low 20s rather than the high 20s. As I say, it probably | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
comes as good relief for some. We'll be back just | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
after 5pm tomorrow evening, that's with Michael Collie | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
here on BBC One. A bit of a change on the way, in | :05:01. | :05:21. | |
fact it has already started in the north and west of the UK. It will be | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
cooler, temperatures slipping back to where they | :05:25. | :05:25. | |
cooler, temperatures slipping back to where they should be for this | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
time of the year. Some sunshine, but also some outbreaks of rain. Ahead | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
of this crowd, some sunshine and heat, 29 in Southampton but only 16 | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
in the Western Isles. Heavy rain for a time overnight working its way | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
deep words -- eastwards. Elsewhere, largely dry, particularly in | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
southern counties. Warmer in the south-east, 18 or 19 degrees. Any | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
rain on the eastern side of England doesn't last too long. The western | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
side of | :06:01. | :06:01. |
