to make matters worse, here in the capital, london underground workers also striking, adding to the chaos. the reason behind the strikes pay. workers want to see a 7% increase in pay. so far, network rail has offered just 2% with the option of unlocking a further 1%. they want to set performance targets on that. they say it's not good enough. i have a chart showing real wages excluding bonuses for the month of april year-over-year down almost 4%. to put that in context, that's the worst reading and see ons started tracking the metric in 2001. the reality on the ground even worse because it doesn't take into effect national insurance contributions. and rate heights -- hikes on things like mortgage rates. manus: a lot of pressure on the income and a tough disruption. laura wright at london hq on travel disruptions. let's look at what the markets will be focused on today. 1:30 p.m. u.k. time, canadian retail sales figures. 3:00, more data from the u.s., including the existing home sales for may how much pressure will there be as rates go to 6%? of course, we will catch up, dani, with your gu
