and that was peter hughes of the unite union responding to the tata steel announcement earlier.st after the agreement was confirmed. what is interesting is in that information, from what i have seen, there is nothing aboutjobs, it seems to be a transition, an amount of money that will be put into this site here, 400 million from the uk government, so you are talking about seven and a half million from tata steel. those reports in the media seem to be bang on, really, from what has come out now in this proposal. nothing aboutjobs. and it does say that it is going to be one electric arc furnace. you have two blast furnaces here. at one stage, it was capable of producing around five megatons, the figures could be wrong, but they are down to around three now on this electric arc furnace. the guesses it would produce about three so still less. so undoubtedly it will have a knock—on effect on jobs. how many? we are not sure. i have spoken to several steelworkers here this morning over the course of the last few days. the people that work on heavy industry, that work on the blast furna

an electric arc furnace will replace the ageing coal—fired blast furnaces here, with the owners tata steel and the uk government chipping in £500 million. but with an arc furnace being less labour—intensive to run, it is an announcement that also implies thousands ofjob losses on this site and elsewhere in the uk. i've been here just over 41 years, started on the blast furnaces as a 16—year—old. i wouldn't like to lose myjob but it's the youngsters, my son works here, he's 26, and i'd like for him to have the future that i had, the opportunities that i had here. the government argues that this funding decision will safeguard many jobs here in port talbot relative to doing nothing, and that is certainly true, but the criticism of the government is that it should be thinking bigger and spending more to safeguard not just some jobs here but alljobs, and by not doing so, it risks the uk not fully realising the economic opportunities of net zero and making it seem like a destroyer of good localjobs. locally for the community it's going to be devastating if those job losses do come to fruition,

about 4000 people are employed at tata steel works in port talbot. in the country. but under the steel unions fear they could be as many as 3000 job losses as the company transitions to greener ways of working, which, it says, will need fewer workers. this deal has been months in the making. tata has been asking for hundreds of millions of pounds from the uk government to help switch the plants to coal—fired blast furnaces that can run on zero carbon electricity. the company will also invest £700 million of its own money on the deal. this is being seen as the thing that could secure the future of the site. but unions really are not happy. they say they have been shut out of negotiations. and it is clearly something where the transition to net—zero will lead to certain compromises and difficulties in negotiations that have to be made. thank you for now. we will be live in the region a little bit later. the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has said cancelling the hs2 rail project between manchester and birmingham would let down the north of en
