police have already made four arrests in london and wolverhampton.rs will receive a pay rise this year. the government is announcing salary increases of up to three and a half percent for teachers, doctors and armed forces personnel. but it's expected that the treasury won't fund the pay rises directly, meaning savings will have to be made elsewhere, as our political correspondent jonathan blake explains. whether they're fighting fires or fighting on the front line, the armed forces are among 1 million public sector workers told today they can expect to pay rise. teachers, too, will get a significant increase. at the end of term, it's perhaps good news, but for some, long overdue. we've had four years of a pay rise which has been funded by schools cash budgets and clearly it needs to be centrally needs to be centrally funded, otherwise schools will become insolvent. clearly teachers deserve a pay rise, pay has been frozen for far too long and we are in the middle of a teacher recruitment crisis partly as a result of that. teachers in england will get
