But the only groups to benefit at this stage will be police and prison officers in england and wales. Some Union Leaders have responded angrily by demanding a pay rise for all Public Sector workers. Prison officers in england and wales have been awarded a rise of 1. 7 , while police pay will go up by 1 , along with a bonus of 1 . The Police Federation says the offer is completely inadequate. Downing street says ministers will show a more flexible approach to next yea rs settlement across the Public Sector, as our deputy Political Editor john pienaar reports. Would you fancy theirjob . Today routine duty at the tuc, but troubles always round the corner. Now its come closer. Police get a rise to attract new recruits, so do prison officers, and other workers will too above the pay cap but onlyjust. Today the government took the latest pay recommendations and shared the news the pay cap was finally ending, so more pay for Public Sector workers, where rises were judged necessary. We need to strike a balance between being fair to Public Sector workers, making sure that we recruit the best possible people and also that we hold onto them in the public services. What a change of tone and policy since theresa may tried to make a virtue of facing down calls for more generous public pay during the election. My wage slips from 2009 reflect exactly what im earning today how can that be fair . Im being honest with you in terms of saying that we will put more money into the nhs, but there isnt a magic money tree that we can shake. Today, Union Leaders adapted their prepared attacks as news came in that seven years of pay constraint, a public pay freeze, then a pay cap were over. They werent impressed. The government is making a big mistake in thinking it can get away with just lifting the cap. People have waited seven long years. Theyve had real pay cuts to the tune of thousands of pounds for firefighters, midwives, nurses, across public services. And they want to make up the ground that theyve lost. Are you willing to support strikes for higher pay . The answer came soon enough. Jeremy corbyn and labour were backing the unions struggle for more pay. The labour party totally rejects the tories attempt to divide and rule, to play one sector off against another. A Labour Government will end the Public Sector pay cap and give all workers the pay rise they deserve and so desperately need. That is our policy. Theres not much gratitude and plenty of anger on show here in brighton. Teachers, nurses, you name it, want more pay, much more than the rises being dangled today. Strike action, it hurts the kids who need their schooling, parents arent always in favour . Parents are more in favour. Theyre in favour of teachers being happy and well paid and the well being of teachers. We come first as teachers. When we are well looked after, we look after the children. Youre a Mental Health nurse, are you willing to strike . Im absolutely willing to strike if it means looking after my own family. At the end of the day, i wouldnt leave patients. Contingency plans will be put in place. Youre a firefighter, can you see strike action coming down the track . I think if they dont end the pay cap, across the board for all workers, then yeah, there is justification for industrial action. The mood is sour and the unite union is threatening to take action whether or not workers ballots deliver the kind of turnout and winning margin for strike action now required by law. Unions havent sounded this war like in years. Labours never been so militant. The party hasnt pledged to support unlawful action, but hasnt plainly refused that support either. This struggle is just beginning and it could get ugly. John pienaar, bbc news, brighton. The foreign secretary borisjohnson has arrived in the caribbean to visit the overseas british territories affected by Hurricane Irma. The government has been criticised for being slow in responding to the disaster. But a thousand british troops have now been deployed to help with the relief effort and more aid supplies are on the way. Our correspondent laura bicker has been to the Remote Island ofjost van dyke in the British Virgin islands and sent this report. The idyllic shores and secluded bays ofjost van dyke were no match for Hurricane Irmas wrath. She tore through the island, stripping away years of hard work in just a few hours. This would normally be a place to escape to. Some may now describe it as a place to escape from. But not those who live here. This was the bar here. This man has lost everything he built. His bar, his restaurant, and his home. And yet he is determined to start again. First have to get it cleaned up. First have to clean it up. Take out all this stuff. A lot of work. Do you think you have the money to do it . No, but ive got the. Those picking through the remains of their lives need the tourists to come back. Nearly a million visitors spend 450 million a year in the British Virgin islands. White sands is one of the most exclusive beaches in the whole of the British Virgin islands. Every decimated building that you see was a bar, a restaurant. Someones main income. And they will need to be rebuilt if this island is to survive. At foxs bar, they have been feeding locals rather than visitors. They have already managed to get some things back up and running. A sign that there is the spirit to rebuild. Have you got the determination to do this . Do we have the determination to. You ask a very simple question. No, we have the determination and actually, when everybody who needs to leave, or that has to leave, gets off the island, which will happen pretty soon, i think the rest of us can really refocus our efforts on what needs to be done. Before the storm, the biggest marino on tortola would welcome yacht owners from around the world. Cash and jobs flowed from here. But Hurricane Irma has beached millions of dollars worth of boats into a tethered, tangled mess. It will take some time. The owners know hundreds of livelihoods depend on a quick recovery. There are so many people here who have invested 20 years of their life and more into this and we cant see it go away. So it is obviously a daunting prospect, but it is literally day at a time, right now. 0ptimism in the face of overwhelming task. Having survived such a horrific storm, the focus now is on how to live in its aftermath. Laura bicker, bbc news, tortola. As weve just heard, foreign secretary borisjohnson has arrived in the caribbean tonight and he spoke on the airport tarmac to the bbc about the uk relief effort. This was something that was absolutely vital to do ever since the storm hit. I think people who. 0bviously the storm hit. I think people who. Obviously we have every sympathy for the suffering of the people who think it by this extraordinary hurricane, the biggest in 150 years. But most fair minded people know the deployment the british have made. This is the biggest military deployment since libya. We have 1000 troops in the area. I think more than 50 Police Officers, more Police Officers are coming into night. Huge quantities of supplies coming in. We are making a big difference to the lives of these people. Borisjohnson as he arrived in the caribbean.

She says her village had been burned to the ground. Weve seen her and herfamily moved on by the authorities and driven off the land by fellow refugees. Many nights shes had to sleep under the skies, despite the monsoon rain. Now her baby is sick and her husband has jaundice. And tens of thousands of other refugees are, like roshida, living in these filthy, make shift cities that are mushrooming on the muddy hill tops here. They arrive bewildered. If they want a plastic sheet or bamboo to make a shelter, they pay. They often have to fight just to get food. These guys are well meaning bangladeshis trying to help out. Just look how chaotic this is. Its so demeaning for these people to have to beg for food. There is growing criticism of the way bangladesh is handling this crisis. We have to give them shelter so that they can live and get some food, medication. All the Big International aid agencies are here. But the government restricts what they can do. For example, the uns main refugee body, the unhcr, is not allowed to work with the vast majority of the refugees. Were discussing with the government to see how we can provide assistance. What needs to happen next is for us to work closer together to make sure that land is allocated, that temporary shelter is provided so that things can be a little more organised. While that discussion takes place, what these people really need is food and fresh water. Somewhere clean to live and sleep. Roshida needs medical care and a safe place to have her baby. What she and all the refugees need is a home. Justin rowlatt, bbc news. Nine members of a family have been jailed for between six and 15 years for running a slavery ring in lincolnshire.
