by rmt union. it has meant trains going out of service and millions of passengers going nowhere. my daughter s doing her gcses. i ve got to get her to and from school, so it s a right pain in the neck. i understand they want a pay rise and things change, i get that, but it s not fair for all the commuters. we are going to primarily focus on the two stories this hour, the rail strike in the uk and the hearing in washington, which is where we are going to begin. we start in washington, where the committee investigating the storming of the capitol onjanuary 6 is holding another public hearing. today s focus is on pressure by former president donald trump and his team for individual us states to overturn the election results. central to this are two battleground states arizona and georgia. joe biden won both by a razor thin margin and president trump has kept pushing false claims of electoral fraud. in opening statements, we heard from the republican vice chair liz cheney.
of the normal services that would be on offer, so something like a sunday service, really. so that s on the impact, the disruption that passengers would feel. another important thing happening tomorrow morning is we ve got new talks that are set to start between rail buses and the rmt union. i m told that even if a deal was reached tomorrow, which. sense is that the two sides were still quite far my sense is that the two sides were still quite far apart on some issues, so i m not sure how likely that is, but if a deal was reached tomorrow, it would be too late to prevent disruption on thursday, because the timetable for thursday is already baked into the system, if you like. but a deal tomorrow could prevent disruption happening on saturday. as i say, if there s an agreement. it feels like the emphasis is on the if. and in terms of an agreement, understandably, there s a lot of focus on how much of a pay rise these workers should receive, but there s also talk about modernisation. ca
