still don't really believe it's happened. it's absolutely incredible. 22 years working for next and a six—year legal battle against it. helen is now one of the 3500 retail workers to have won an equal pay claim against her employer. i've always believed in fairness, and it doesn't seem fair that, years and years after the equal pay act came in, when i was actually at school, that women were still earning less than men for similar roles. and i'm a pensioner now, and it's unbelievable that we had to wait till now for someone to actually recognise that our role is as valuable as a similar role for a man. the tribunal ruled that next failed to prove that paying their store workers, 82% of whom are currently women, a lower basic hourly rate than warehouse workers was not sex discrimination. the claimants argued that the difference in basic hourly pay ranges from 40p to £3.13, although next disputes

this range. on average, each retail worker has lost more than £6,000. the payout could cost next around £30 million. next is planning to appeal. there are key legal principles at stake here. they say that the tribunal rejected the majority of the claims, but they lost on the key terms that matter to the retail workers. lawyers representing the workers hope it could create wider industry change. you've got the big five supermarkets bringing similar claims, making similar arguments. they will be paying close attention. and the claimants, the supermarket workers in those cases, will be hugely encouraged. it hasn't been done on this scale and in the private sector before. it's brilliant. next has found itself on the wrong side of an equal pay battle ground. this ruling could open the door to further action against more retail giants. meghan 0wen, bbc news.

with me is our reporter meghan 0wen. even a significant judgment, even a significantjudgment, you have been looking through the entirety of what has been said. what did you actually pick out here? what did you actually pick out here? what is ruite did you actually pick out here? what is quite interesting _ did you actually pick out here? what is quite interesting is _ did you actually pick out here? twist is quite interesting is the did you actually pick out here? hisisgt is quite interesting is the defence that next used, it was all about market rates. what they argued is the rates, the payment in the wider labour market was higher for warehouse workers than retail workers, and they said itjustified the difference in what they paid to retail workers. this was actually rejected by the employment tribunal, but what the tribunal did accept as this was not because of direct discrimination, so what we mean by thatis discrimination, so what we mean by that is a conscious or subconscious influence of gender, and they said that was because there were clear efforts to improve profit and to

reduce cost, but the tribunal did rule that this business need did not overcome the discriminatory effect of that lower basic pay. i overcome the discriminatory effect of that lower basic pay.— overcome the discriminatory effect of that lower basic pay. i know next are auoin of that lower basic pay. i know next are going to — of that lower basic pay. i know next are going to appeal. _ of that lower basic pay. i know next are going to appeal, but _ of that lower basic pay. i know next are going to appeal, but a - of that lower basic pay. i know next are going to appeal, but a lot - of that lower basic pay. i know next are going to appeal, but a lot of- are going to appeal, but a lot of the retail sector watching what has happened has he duplications, doesn't it? aha, happened has he duplications, doesn't it?— happened has he duplications, doesn'tit? ., ., ., ., , doesn't it? a lot of retail giants will be looking _ doesn't it? a lot of retail giants will be looking closely - doesn't it? a lot of retail giants will be looking closely at - doesn't it? a lot of retail giants will be looking closely at this i will be looking closely at this case, particularly workers of the five largest supermarkets in the uk, like tesco and asda. their workers are pursuing equal pay cases, so the firms are using the same arguments that next used here which is all about market pay rates to counter these claims. what we have seen before is cases like this in the public sector over at lower pay for workers and teaching assistants, and dinner ladies who have paid less than men employed in bin collections, but in terms of this

case, next say it is significant because it is the first equal pay group action in the private sector to reach a decision at this level and raises a significant number of legal questions. it is and raises a significant number of legal questions.— legal questions. it is wonderful to watch. legal questions. it is wonderful to watch- thank— legal questions. it is wonderful to watch. thank you _ legal questions. it is wonderful to watch. thank you for _ legal questions. it is wonderful to watch. thank you for taking - legal questions. it is wonderful to watch. thank you for taking us . watch. thank you for taking us through it. we'll catch up on the weather details any moment. in the next 60 minutes we will be live in jerusalem to get the latest on that hostage release, the 52—year—old being released after that military operation. huge smiles after a ten month ordeal. also on the programme in the next 60 minutes, we will have the latest on the mental health crisis in increments with people calling nhs iii, and the numbers of young people being referred to mental health facilities and services, hugely increased. and. —— mental health crisis in england.

hello. we've got a real mixture of weather across the country today. it's across some central and eastern areas of england that we've got dry and relatively sunny weather, very warm for some with temperatures as high as 26. this afternoon, however, it's not like this everywhere. we do have this slow moving weather front affecting parts of wales, northern england and parts of scotland too. and underneath that cloud and rain, temperatures for some have been pegged back into the upper teens, with the rain coming down quite heavily earlier on today in crieff in perth and kinross. now i think the rain in scotland is going to turn lighter and patchier for most areas, but maybe a few heavy bursts in the very far south. the heaviest rain this afternoon is likely, though. across northern areas of england the rain quite steady for western wales. skies brighten up for northern ireland, but the best of the sunshine is across eastern areas of england, where temperatures are set to hit 26 in the warmest areas. now these fronts weaken further overnight as they try to run into this area of high pressure over the continent. the next weather system will be making its presence felt. as we look at the

forecast for tomorrow. 0vernight tonight, then the rain quite light and patchy across wales northern areas of england, where there could be a few mist and fog patches around the coast and the hills and we will probably start to see the next area of rain approach northern ireland towards the end of the night, but we are looking at a mild night. temperatures for many around 13 or 14 c tomorrow. still, that weak weather front brings the threat of a bit of rain tomorrow still that weak weather front brings the threat of a bit of rain for parts of northern england and wales. the next, more substantial area of rain will be moving into northern ireland and western scotland through the day on wednesday, with some heavy bursts. with that again it's east anglia and southeast england will have the best of the dry and sunny weather and if anything it could be a bit hotter. temperatures in the warmest spots are set to hit 27 c for thursday. the slightly cooler and fresher air will work into east anglia and southeast england, so although it stays dry, the temperatures will be coming down close to average for the time of year. there'll be some showers around, quite blustery ones for western scotland and a few showers for northern ireland,

the northwest of both england and wales. temperatures for many areas running quite close to average for the time of year. then we see another change in the weather patterns friday and into the weekend. a new area of high pressure is set to settle the weather down and bring, for many of us, a fine end to august. that means lots of sunshine. then through friday, saturday and sunday, feeling warm in the sunshine with just a small chance of a few showers running into the far south of england. bye for now.
