To stop children from traveller communities getting a raw deal at school . One family tell us of their struggle to stay in education. I would love him to go to high school, i know im not too clever, but i would have tried my best and done something with my life, do you know what i mean . Hello and welcome to the programme, were live until iiam. Whatever you do for a living, we want to hear from you about workers in the Public Sector, who as you know, havent had a pay rise in seven years, but thats about to change, at least for some jobs, but not by as much as many people want. Also, the government is giving no new money for this pay rise. It has told Police Forces and the Prison Service to find the money themselves. We really want to hear from you. Tell us about the state of your wages, over the last few years and what you think of the pay cap being lifted on Police Officers and prison officers. You can e mail me. And thats our top story today some of the uks biggest unions are threatening to strike after describing the latest Public Sector pay rises in england and wales as derisory and unacceptable. The government has announced a 1. 7 increase for prison officers. While Police Officers will get 1 plus a 1 bonus. Norman smith has the details. The backlash is growing . M the backlash is growing . It is, vic because i think anyone who thought there was going to be some huge rise in Public Sector pay are going to be disappointed because although the government probably got the headlines they wanted, im looking at the papers this morning, the ft, may bows to pressure with end of Public Sector pay cap. The signs are that the treasury are really digging in here to keep the lid on Public Sector pay because when you look at the deal yesterday for the police and the prison officers, it is limited. It is below the rate of inflation anyway, but perhaps more importantly, Philip Hammond has said to police and prison officers, 0k, you can have your pay rise, but you all have to pay for it. It will have to come from their departments. He is not making any more money available, the treasury are giving zilch to fund this pay rise and i just think if that is the stance the treasury is taking now, how tough a line are they going to take when nurses and teachers come up for their pay settlement because you know police and prison officers only account for i dont know, 5 of all Public Sector workers. When you get to nurses and teachers, you are talking about hundreds of thousands, the bill for that is massive. So the likelihood then is that the treasury are likelihood then is that the treasury a re really likelihood then is that the treasury are really going to take a hard line andi are really going to take a hard line and i notice this morning listening to the justice secretary and i notice this morning listening to thejustice secretary david lidington, he is a spending minister and he wants more money for prison officers and judges and so on and so forth, he was sounding pretty cautious about the prospect of being able to crow more money out of the treasury. Have a listen. Its less, probably, than all of us would want in an ideal world where there were unlimited sums of money, crocks of gold somewhere. But there are not, and any responsible government has to strike a balance between what we want to do to recognise the dedication and professionalism of Public Sector workers and what taxpayers, themselves ordinary working people, are able to afford out of their hard earned income. So, where are the unions going to go with this . Where is the Labour Party Going to go with this . Well, the unions are preparing for a fight. They are meeting at their congress in brighton. All seem to be suggesting unless they get a pay rise above inflation, then they are seriously talking about a campaign of co ordinated industrial action. I think we have to be a little bit cautious about that because weve had sort of one day strikes by the unions i think in 2014 over Public Sector pay and it didnt really budge the government. And the problem is basically this, there is no money around the moment. We know there is huge pressure on public finances and the economy is slowing down so that reduces the amount of tax revenue that there is around and bearin tax revenue that there is around and bear in mind the last time the chancellor tried to increase taxes to give themselves a bit more money in the last budget over National Insurance he got beaten about the head and had to engage in a retreat. So there is a clash looming. How far the government is going to back off if there are strikes, i think is a moot point. Thank you very much, norman. We will talk more about pay later in the programme. If you work in the Public Sector, give us your experiences. We really need to get your experience to feed into that conversation just after 9. 30am. Annita mcveigh is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. The National Audit office says the governments welfare reforms are likely to have contributed to rising levels of homelessness in england. Its report claims that in the last six years, theres been a 60 rise in the number of households in temporary accommodation including 120,000 children. Marta newman reports. Homelessness in england is on the rise and the reasons are varied from a lack of social housing to less affordable private rental properties and even a reduction in housing benefit are being blamed. The number of families in temporary accommodation is up 60 since 2011, while rough sleeping has more than doubled to over 4,000 counted in one autumn evening. But this report paints a picture of a system that isnt fit for purpose, being overseen by ministers who have little interest in tackling it from simple things like assessing the impact of how many welfare reforms could exacerbate the problem. Well, what were seeing is a rise in all measures of homelessness in urban areas of the country. So what wed like to see is a proper co ordinated cross government approach between central and local government to try and tackle this because its very expensive for the public purse and it is a tragedy for the homeless households as well. While homelessness costs more than £1 billion a year, usually administered by councils, the report criticises ministers as paying little attention to how the money is spent. In a statement the department for communities and local government said they will continue to invest £550 million tackling the issues until 2020, but it will shortly outline plans to eliminate rough sleeping entirely. A bbc investigation has found that just 2 of council owned high rise blocks in england are fully fitted with sprinkler systems. A freedom of information request also showed that two thirds of the blocks had only one staircase. The london fire commissioner, dany cotton, said sprinklers would save lives and fitting them should be compulsory. Graham satchell reports.

The government has won a commons vote that will ensure the conservatives have a majority on key parliamentary committees. The committees job is to scrutinise new laws. The conservatives have not had an outright majority in the commons since the election and 0pposition mps have accused the government of a constitutional outrage. More than a third of black or ethnic minority employees have been bullied, abused or singled out at work, according to research by the tuc. However, only one in five reported the bullying and felt their complaint was properly dealt with. The union is calling for employers to take a zero tolerance attitude and develop a clear process for investigating every complaint. Its clear that many of the people responding to our survey felt too frightened to report what was happening, and that tells me that theyre worried that its going to give them a bad name, its clear that many of the people responding to our survey felt too that theyre worried that they wont get a promotion or they wont get that pay rise if theyre seen as a troublemaker. So its really important that employers are clear that its the abuser who is the problem, not the victim. Myanmars leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has cancelled plans to attend the un General Assembly.

Many in the private sector had no pay rises whilst the Public Sector have been having their 196. Public sector have been having their 1 . The unions dont give a damn about workers in the private sector as they are not political enough to campaign about. Another viewer tweets this, the government needs to give local authorities the money to give local authorities the money to pay for the pay rises. Anyone can promise a pay rise if it is not costing them. Get in touch. Your view on the fact that the pay cap is being lifted for prison officers and Police Officers. Lets get some sport with hugh woozencroft. The managers werent overly complimentary about their sides. Celtic had a huge task on their hands and they took on a paris st germain side with £0. 5 billion worth of talent out on the pitch and they played like it as well. They inflicted celtics biggest defeat. However, the celtic boss afterwards, Brendan Rodgers he wasnt happy with parts of how his team played. He said they were like an under 12 side at times. Manchester united were winners over fc basel. However their boss Jose Mourinho winners over fc basel. However their bossJose Mourinho accused his team of not taking the opposition seriously. He said there were too many tricks. Bad decisions, too many gambles as well and they played like it was fantasy football. Clearly he wa nted it was fantasy football. Clearly he wanted perfection from his side and thats what the chelsea fans got at sta mford thats what the chelsea fans got at stamford bridge. They are back in Champions League after a season away and they beat the azerbaijan champions. Conte called it the perfect start. So at least one happy manager. We will see ifjurgen klopp gets his smile back. Manchester city are in action as well as spurs. So it will be another busy evening in the Champions League to come as well. And, very interesting, we have been hearing from the england womens manager mark sampson about accusations of racism hanging over him . Yes, this is a story we have been following for sometime on the programme. It emerged that the fa made an £80,000 payment to an england striker after she made claims of bullying and harassment against the national manager, mark sampson. Sampson was cleared of any wrongdoing been an fa and independent investigation. Further allegations emerged. This is what sampson had to say when he was asked by dan roan about the initial racism claims. I made it clear that i deny the comments, and that wasnt said. Why is she saying it . What do you think her motive is . I cant answer the question for someone else. I respect that people have made allegations, andl that people have made allegations, and i respect that, since they have been made, i have gone through a full process, answering the questions asked of me, i have done everything asked of me, making sure i have answered those questions as well i can. Sampson i have answered those questions as welll can. Sampson received the backing of his players yesterday. They are getting ready for world cup qualifying. Fa executives will face a parliamentary enquiry over the investigations into alukos claims. This probably wont be the last we hear on the issue. Thank you very much. The United NationsRefugee Agency has issued an urgent plea for funds this morning after a surge in new rohinhya muslims fleeing from myanmar. 370,000 refugees have crossed to bangladesh since violence escalated last month. Pressure is also growing on Aung San Suu Kyi, who leads the country, for failing to condemn what is widely seen as ethnic cleansing at the hands of the Burmese Military. Today, she has cancelled plans to attend the United NationsGeneral Assembly next week. In a moment, well get the latest from our correspondent in bangladesh. First though some of the refugees tell their story. 0ur south asia correspondent Justin Rowlatt is in coxs bazar near the bangladesh myanmar border. Justin, tell us more about where you are. We didnt choose this location because it is really beautiful, but because it is really beautiful, but because these fishing boats are the way that lots of Rohingya Refugees make it to bangladesh. They travel from me and marr on these boats, around the bay of bengal, then to hear. It is a perilous journey. Around the bay of bengal, then to hear. It is a perilousjourney. Not only do they sacrifice what few possessions they have to pay for the journey, but once at sea, it is very dangerous. We understand that, if you hours ago, one of these boats sank. We are going to find out what happened. We have been told there we re happened. We have been told there were awful scenes of bodies washing ashore. More evidence of the plight of these people, and the scale of what is happening. The latest figures are 370,000 refugees have made the journey across from me and more so far. The fact that these boats. 0n the me amla side wanting to come over. It really is a huge humanitarian crisis unfolding here. We have seen the scenes already, chaotic scenes around food trucks, food being thrown out by bangladeshis, and desperate rohingyas reaching up and fighting to get food. If you demeaning scenes of people forced to beg, having already made terrible journeys. It is evidence of the fact that the operation here doesnt seem to be working. I have been for a week, and virtually every refugee i speak to says they have had almost no contact whatsoever. It is odd, the aid agencies are here. Down the beach in the hotels. In those hotels, there are representatives of aid organisations and they want to do their best. The problem. The bangladesh tubman. Which has a terrible dilemma. There are 400,000 refugees here in bangladesh, who came before the wave. We are talking about another 100,000. Anxious, if you like, to make it seem anxious, if you like, to make it seem too pleasant here. It is one of the poorest and most densely populated countries in the world. They are worried about dealing with the scale of a crisis like this. Absolutely desperate situation. I know you couldnt hear every word, but i hope you understand why we have persisted, really important to hear from have persisted, really important to hearfrom him.

Well, particularly i want to speak about a particular massacre that happened, savagery that was described to me, it is beyond the pale. 0ver described to me, it is beyond the pale. Over a period of three days, virtually every villager was put to death. Women were raped, they were tortured, they were shot, they were burned to death. Children were not spared. I remember coming across one woman weeping in a camp, a refugee camp, andi woman weeping in a camp, a refugee camp, and i asked her what she had seen camp, and i asked her what she had seen with her own eyes. She told me that she had seen at least 300 bodies of small children, and 200 bodies of small children, and 200 bodies of small children, and 200 bodies of women of
