yesterday afternoon. a fourth boy, who is six years old, remains in a critical condition in hospital. the children who were 11, 10 and eight got into difficulty at babbs mill park in solihull. a police officer tried to punch through the ice as he and others attempted to rescue the group. our midlands correspondent phil mackie has been following the story and reports from kingshurst. the children had been playing next to the partially frozen lake when they ventured on to the ice and it gave way. first one, then the others fell in. by the time darkness fell yesterday, the four boys had been pulled out, they had all suffered cardiac arrests. it was a massive response from the emergency services are, as everyone did their best to save their lives. the first call came at 2.34. the first ambulance arrived within 7 minutes shortly after the police and firefighter, at 8.20 the four children were confirmed as being in a critical condition. today, the news broke that three of them had died.

0n that three of them had died. on behalf of everybody in the community and west midlands police i would like to pass on our deepest sympathies at this time. the tragic circumstances yesterday afternoon, so close to christmas time, and our sympathies with the families who have lost loved ones in this incident. have lost loved ones in this incident-— have lost loved ones in this incident. ~ . , ., ., incident. we have seen footage that olice incident. we have seen footage that police officers _ incident. we have seen footage that police officers initially _ incident. we have seen footage that police officers initially went - incident. we have seen footage that police officers initially went into - police officers initially went into the water to help pull the children out, were — the water to help pull the children out, were there members of the public— out, were there members of the public as— out, were there members of the public as well and how brave were those _ public as well and how brave were those people who did that. yes, olice those people who did that. yes, police officers _ those people who did that. yes, police officers did _ those people who did that. yes, police officers did go _ those people who did that. yes, police officers did go into - those people who did that. ye: police officers did go into the water, they were joined police officers did go into the water, they werejoined by police officers did go into the water, they were joined by other men'ses of the other emergency service, some of the officers went in waist deep, one of my officers was trying to punch through the ice, to actually rescue the children themselves. that officer as a result of that had some mild hypothermia yesterday, and i am pleased to say he has been released from hospital. the terrible task of searching

through the freezing lake continued today, there were fears another child might have been missing, they know longer —— no longer after they is the case. this afternoon firefighters from one of stations involved were applauded as they lay flowers alongside the growing mass of tributes. the grief here was palpable. a short walk from where the tragedy happened, the children's primary school was closed today. comfort was among who took her children to the nearby church halli among who took her children to the nearby church hal— nearby church hall i think thinking the are nearby church hall i think thinking they are my _ nearby church hall i think thinking they are my worn _ nearby church hall i think thinking they are my worn children - nearby church hall i think thinking they are my worn children so - nearby church hall i think thinking they are my worn children so it i nearby church hall i think thinking they are my worn children so it is| nearby church hall i think thinking l they are my worn children so it is a sad situation, that is why i had to rush to church, we are community, family, so here we can pray, we can help, we can reach out to people, you know, so it is very disturbing. the boys' deaths have struck a never and got people thinking about that vital safety message about keeping young children away from frozen water. yesterday's incident is a stark remind eto us all of the

dangers of open water especially during the winter. fratsen lake, ponds, canals and reservoirs can look picturesque but they can be lethal. there are no greater warnings than yesterday's tragic events. it has been a day when families have held theirfamilies closer, and praying for the six—year—old boy who is still in critical condition. you saw the firefighters from red watch in sheldon fire station come and leave their tribute, there is a message from andy street the west midlands mayor, one of the local football clubbings, as well as lots from families who keep coming and leaving flower, toys etc, the search of the lake which is a few hundred yards down there appears to have finished and west midlands no longer think they are looking for anybody else but they carried that on last night and through the day. we will learn more about the young children and theirfamilies more about the young children and their families tomorrow. phil, thank you.

a wave of rolling strikes get under way tomorrow. railway workers will walk out for the first of two 48 hour strikes this week. nurses will go out on strike on thursday for the first time in their history. and if you look at this, you can see just how many others are taking industrial over pay for the rest of this month and into next year. royal mail, borderforce, driving examiners among others. the government has been holding one of its cobra emergency meetings this afternoon to discuss contingency plans. ministers say they cannot meet pay demands. 0ur political editor chris mason has the details. music on, hoods up, flags out. and remember your gloves and a whistle. # santa baby... nurses and social workers in the health service in northern ireland have been on strike today. including here in antrim. they cannot afford to make ends meet at this point in time, they cannot

meanwhile at westminster, this evening, the health secretary is meeting the rcn to discuss the nurses strike in england and wales and northern ireland on thursday. from the health service to transport, the rmt have rejected the latest offer from network rail, so those strikes in england scotland and wales starting tomorrow will go ahead. i and wales starting tomorrow will go ahead. ~ , ., and wales starting tomorrow will go ahead. ~ i. ~ ., ., ahead. i think you know, at the moment. _ ahead. i think you know, at the moment, there _ ahead. i think you know, at the moment, there is _ ahead. i think you know, at the moment, there is a _ ahead. i think you know, at the moment, there is a lot - ahead. i think you know, at the moment, there is a lot of- ahead. i think you know, at the moment, there is a lot of bad | ahead. i think you know, at the - moment, there is a lot of bad stuff going on and, some strikes are necessary, and if strikes weren't disruptive they wouldn't be doing the job. the disruptive they wouldn't be doing the 'ob. ., , ., the job. the unions are unreasonable. - the job. the unions are unreasonable. you - the job. the unions are - unreasonable. you probably the job. the unions are _ unreasonable. you probably need to ou know, unreasonable. you probably need to you know. make _ unreasonable. you probably need to you know, make a _ unreasonable. you probably need to you know, make a big _ unreasonable. you probably need to you know, make a big point, - unreasonable. you probably need to you know, make a big point, to - unreasonable. you probably need to you know, make a big point, to be l you know, make a big point, to be able to, you know, make some change. would we be heading in a different direction if labour were in power? they acknowledged they wouldn't be able to afford the pay rises nurses want either but they would talk to them about money. i want either but they would talk to them about money.— them about money. i think the government — them about money. i think the

government stubborn - them about money. i think the government stubborn refusal i them about money. i think the. government stubborn refusal to engage in serious negotiations shows they are spoiling for a fight. they want to blame nurse, paramedic, nhs staff for challenges in the national health service which are the direct fault and responsibility of 12 years of conservative mismanage. frankly thatis of conservative mismanage. frankly that is disgusting. the government is in mitigation mode, yes, they want these industrial disputes to end but right now the focus is on trying to minimise their impact. the truth is, though, given the breadth and scale of the strike, millions will be affected. relations between the government and trade unions are a little on the chilly side, this is the week when the consequences of that will become very clear. chris mason, bbc so rail workers are the first to walk out this week. and you can see from this the impact these walk—outs will have. today is the last day of normal service until monday january 9th —

the red days are strikes, and the orange days are when a reduced service is being run. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin is in york for us. so, katie, explain exactly what is behind these strikes.— so, katie, explain exactly what is behind these strikes. well, the rail em-lo ers behind these strikes. well, the rail employers in _ behind these strikes. well, the rail employers in the — behind these strikes. well, the rail employers in the government - behind these strikes. well, the rail l employers in the government asouth africa the financial impact of the pandemic, if pay is going to go up then working practises need to change and the rmt disagrees with some of the change, it is members at network rail voted against what network rail voted against what network rail voted against what network rail said was its best and final offer, including a 5% pay rise this year, 4% next year, and conditional on changes, reforms to working practises, the rmt leadership also recently rejected the first offer made by the group representing train companies and that was for a 4% pay rise this year, 4% next year and again, dependent on changes to working practise, so what chances are there

of this dispute being resolved quickly? 0n the network rail side of things, members of the tssa union are currently voting on their proposed deal and a small number in the unite union have accepted it. with the rmt dispute, though, it is still lacking a breakthrough, and that means that these strikes this week over christmas and into january are still set to go ahead, and that means tomorrow, wednesday, friday, and saturday, this week, to start with, there will only be 20% of the usual train services running and they will start much later and finish a lot earlier than usual. katie, thank you. that is the situation that is the situation on the railways. we heard about earlier about the talks going on this evening between the health secretary steve barclay and the royal college of nursing, ahead of their planned walk—out this thursday. 0ur health editor hugh pym joins me now.

if these strike goes ahead how widespread will they be and what impact will they have hugh? weill. impact will they have hugh? well, so-hie impact will they have hugh? well, sophie there _ impact will they have hugh? well, sophie there won't _ impact will they have hugh? well, sophie there won't be _ impact will they have hugh? well, sophie there won't be walk - impact will they have hugh? -ii sophie there won't be walk outs in all areas at the same time. on thursday nurses will walk out at about a quarter of epping england's major hospital trust, all health boards in wales apart from one will be affected and all trusts in northern ireland. and they do seem set to actually go ahead unless there is significant progress in the talks this evening. so, what is this all about? what is the key issue? it is pay, and the royal college of nursing put in a claim for an increase of inflation plus 5%, and the time of the ballot that amounted to a i7% pay rise, inflation has gone up a bit further since so the claim has been pushed up but the rcn said it is prepared to negotiate on that. the government at westminster awarded 4.75% to a large number of

health workers and said that follows an independent pay review body. so what sort of care will be affected? unions say emergency care will continue, more or less as normal but there is a lot of local negotiation going on to actually work out exactly what that will consist of. but for planned appointments, and procedures, then there will be significant disruption with patients being told their appointments and operation, which are non—urgent will be postponed and they will be hearing about that in the next day or so. . ~' the chancellor, jeremy hunt, has warned the economic picture will get worse before it gets better, as official figures show the uk economy slowed across all of the main sectors between august and october. the office for national statistics say output shrank by 0.3% overall across the three months, though in october the economy grew by 0.5% as businesses bounced back from the extra bank holiday for queen elizabeth's funeral. 0ur economics editor

the official view from the kremlin. is that russians believe their war in ukraine is a noble cause. 0ne they are ready to die for. but after ten months of fighting, not all the soldiers think that. so gary has told me to —— agreed to tell me about his son, stas. we have changed their names to protect their identities. deployed to ukraine, his son refused to fight. he identities. deployed to ukraine, his son refused to fight.— son refused to fight. he told me it was at difficult _ son refused to fight. he told me it was at difficult decision _ son refused to fight. he told me it was at difficult decision for - was at difficult decision for them to take. i told him better to take it. this is not our war, it is not a war of liberation. he and several others who refused to have their guns taken off them and were put under armed guard.—

from their own commanders. translation: it is a way of making people go back into that bloodbath. but it is not possible to force people to fight in a war. commanders know only violence and intimidation. they used to it. why are some russian soldiers in ukraine refusing to go back to the front? in some cases, it is a moral decision. but for many others, having experienced the horrors of the battlefield, it is simply an attempt to stay alive. later, i speak to the mother of a russian lieutenant. she says he contacted her from lieutenant. she says he contacted herfrom ukraine lieutenant. she says he contacted her from ukraine to tell her he had been put in a basement after disobeying orders to advance. he was with four other officers. they haven't been seen for five months. translation:
