it was thought that a deal had been made between unions and the council, but the gmb union has today ahead as planned, accusing the council of bad faith on pay consultations, saying they had not been given enough time to consider the last—minute pay deal offered by the council on friday. hundreds of passengers hoping to travel to glasgow for the cop26 climate summit by train have been left waiting inside london's euston station after a fallen tree halted services. pictures on social media showed the concourse packed with people, many of whom were hoping to travel north for the climate conference, which began today. travellers acknowledged the irony of the situation, as many were forced to book domestic flights to the conference on climate change as a result of the cancellations. earlier in laura kuenssberg's report, we heard the uk prime minister confirm that he discussed the ongoing fishing dispute with the french president after the westminster government said it was up to france to fix the tensions around permits for french fishing boats. let's listen now to what president emmanue

well, we can speak now to kelly andrews, who's a senior organiser for the gmb, a trade union which hasmembers in a variety of sectors across public services and in private companies, too. she joins us live from port talbot in south wales. many thanks for joining many thanks forjoining us on bbc news. the chancellor says this will make sure they are making work pay. labour describe it as an underwhelming offer. what do you make of it? it’s underwhelming offer. what do you make of it?— underwhelming offer. what do you make of it? it's one of these offers that, as make of it? it's one of these offers that. as labour— make of it? it's one of these offers that, as labour said, _ make of it? it's one of these offers that, as labour said, is _ make of it? it's one of these offers that, as labour said, is a _ make of it? it's one of these offers that, as labour said, is a smoke i make of it? it's one of these offers. that, as labour said, is a smoke and mirrors. if you look at care workers, working a a0 hour week, they will only see a £23.60 increase per week. they will only see a £23.60 incre

refuse bins overflowing into the streets as the gmb union and the council remained at loggerheads.y it's over. for drivers, that will see their wages pushed to the region of £30,000 per year. refuse collectors, to around 20,000. i'm sure the green party and the council officers must have sat down to budget this offer. i'm sure they wouldn't have put an offer on the table that they couldn't or didn't think the city could afford or weren't able to budget for. so, yes, there is a cost, we accept that but these are low—paid workers. and our part of the union, when this offer was put on the table, was to negotiate to make sure that as good a wage as possible could be delivered at the end of this. with an eye on equal pay legislation, the deal also boosts pay for lower paid council workers in other departments. the overall bill could run into millions of pounds. i can assure you that each and every decision i make, the taxpayer of brighton and hove city is always at the forefront of my mind, the impact potentially that may have. especially on the lower earners. and this is something whic

gmb described the deal they have reached as ticking every box and more so we see a situation where the lack of funding for local government has caused a national problem with waste collection and unions conditions for local workers but also address historic problems with waste and recycling services in brighton and hove and we look at all parties to come behind plans for the city where we want to protect workers improve services. now the weather with matt who's at a pumpkin farm this morning. good morning. iam good morning. i am at hebden bridge, a wonderful town in yorkshire. ahead of this weekend's pumpkin trail which as you can tell behind me has a theme this year. here to tell me more is jamie, who is the co—director of the pumpkin trail and pumpkin carver extraordinaire. thank you for getting up so early. tell us about the theme? irate you for getting up so early. tell us about the theme?— you for getting up so early. tell us about the theme? we have a theme about the theme? we have a theme about climate _ about the theme? we have a theme about climate change. _ about the theme? we have a theme about climate change. we _ about the theme? we have a theme about climate change. we
