Our top story Public Sector workers are reportedly set to get a £2 billion pay rise. The times reports that several groups of employees, mostly in england, are in line for above inflation pay rises. But in almost all cases the money will have to come from current budgets. Bens here to tell us more. Tell us the figures. They are set to be announced officially on monday. 2 million Public Sector workers could get a pay rise £2 billion collectively. The details mean that soldiers will get nearly 3 . A2. 9 pay rise. Teachers and school stuff 2. 796, pay rise. Teachers and school stuff 2. 7 , Police Officers and Senior Civil Services as well. Above inflation which is running at 2 . But it is worth pointing out it does not apply to everyone. There are certain people, not least nurses but alsojunior civil certain people, not least nurses but also junior Civil Servant who will not get it. The figures could also be different for wales and scotland. Were just to have a new Prime Minister so they will have to deal with this decision, is that right . This promise theresa may will make on monday set the stage for difficult decisions about where the money will come from because we know there is not a lot of money sloshing around in the system and it has to come from existing spending so no new promises in terms of raising money for it. Remember, the system is well below what private sector staff are getting. Increases there are 3. 5 . While better than inflation, the Public Sector still getting a pay rise less than those working in the private sector.

Its 50 years since man first travelled to the moon and were celebrating the anniversary with a special programme today. Naga is at thejodrell Bank Observatory in cheshire, which played an Important Role. Good morning naga. Good morning. You watched it . Yes, some of us are old enough to remember the actual day. Yesterday was the main landing itself. But i do remember it well, the extraordinary buildup. We will be going over some of the memories. About 50 years ago today, scientists work tracking the action. These telescopes were tracking the radio signals. We are going to be hearing from the scientist tracking the mission and actually managed to verify that it happened. Not only tracking apollo 11 but luna 15 as well, through radio waves. Last night we set up our cameras to take a look at the moon. We can show you some of these pictures and i apologise we could not get to see the men because it was quite cloudy. But we followed its journey. The pictures you are seeing, the light is from the moon. We can also show you love shots of the moon before dipping behind the horizon, around 7 30 a. M. A little bit cloudy at the moment but he were my to give the moment but he were my to give the Weather Forecast . Mark is here. Not sure where but he will explain it to you. Good morning all. I am somewhere else along jodrell bank. A fabulous moon installation. Light and sound. A stunning sight to see but before we get onto the weather, let me show this other stunning sight from yesterday when we saw this amazing rainbow captured by one of our brilliant weather watchers in the north of scotland. A rare rainbow. To get that you need very small rain droplets. Very complicated science that goes into that. Some of you will see some of those showers. Get your umbrella ready with wet weather across South West England and across parts of wales as well. Heavy through this morning possibly causing some trouble. But russia could also see heavy rain at times. Many eastern areas also. Port rush. Pleasant enough in the hazy sunshine with temperatures around 17 19 degrees. Had further south, skies brightening. A few show was around. The odd rumble of shower. Pretty breezy across the south as well. Not feeling quite as warm as it has done all the temperatures into the low 20s for many. The rain sliding. Across southern parts of england. Again some rumble of thunder is cannot be ruled out. Rain in scotland and Northern Ireland as well at times. It should not be too cold tonight given the fact there is so much cloud around stop across the south and increasingly muggy breeze. To the start of the weekend, we should see the rain across the south east corner. Once that get out of the way, lots of sunshine around. Show is developing. They will be focused on Central Eastern areas where they can become heavy and boundary. More sunshine around. Breezy across southern counties of england and wales. Temperatures a few degrees on todays highs. Into sunday, probably a dry day for england and wales. Lots of sunshine to begin with. The wind will be picking up across scotla nd wind will be picking up across scotland and Northern Ireland. Heavy rain developing through the day and that rain will become pretty lovely at times with strong and gusty winds. Pretty warm air. Into next week, we are likely to see temperatures across southern and eastern areas of about 30 degrees, maybe 32 or 33 celsius. Back to you. 30 degrees for next week, you could not arrange that for today . Sorry. I tried my best. I can feel a few drops already. Enough stop you stay where you. 50 years ago today, Neil Armstrong, buzz aldrin and Michael Collins entered the moons of it and did a Live Television broadcast and they were describing their view is really spectacular. This is Neil Armstrong. This is the view they we re armstrong. This is the view they were seeing. Pretty spectacular view. The lovell telescope was one of the two tracking and receiving radio signals directly from the spacecraft and scientists were able to verify the moment they landed on the moon 50 years ago later today. We hear about jodrell banks the moon 50 years ago later today. We hear aboutjodrell banks role. What an exciting race it was. Most people absolutely know that the importance of jodrell most people absolutely know that the importance ofjodrell Bank Observatory was to independently, indisputably verify that the apollo 11 Space Mission had been a success. The americans had won the space race. But what few people realise is that actually it wasnt the lovell telescope that was tracking the americans. In fact, telescope that was tracking the americans. Infact, lets telescope that was tracking the americans. In fact, lets get andy to crash over here. It was another much smaller telescope that was trained 250,000 miles up in the sky on the americans, a telescope that is similarto on the americans, a telescope that is similar to the one that is over there now. It wasnt that exact one but it was almost in that exact spot. Now, the lovell telescope had a different role to play because that was watching the russians, because the russians were hurtling towards the moon at exactly the same time as the americans. The race was on. The russians wanted to steal some of the glory from underneath the americans knows, just as jodrell bank and the lovell telescope had stolen some of the glory from underneath the nose of the russians a few years earlier. It isa the russians a few years earlier. It is a fascinating slice of history. The space race was really a battle, east versus west. It was about whose political system was going to win out, was it communism or capitalism . And a lot of it focused on this race to the moon, and the winner takes all. But, for the scientists here at jodrell bank, it is only ever about the science. And for terry pattinson, a cub reporter in manchester with a passion for astronomy, it was the biggest story he will ever work on. That was me, 1966, world cup year, year i got married, year of my big scoop. On february three, 1966, the space race is well under way, with russia well in the lead, as the lovell telescope tracks their lunar nine capsule landing safely on the moon. You can imagine the people in this room with a telescope behind us pointed at the moon, and coming through the telescope are the signals arriving from a spacecraft, and it sends this weird sort of noise. 23yearold terry eggs his editor to go to the Late Night Press Conference at jodrell bank. There, sir Bernard Lovell tells hi m jodrell bank. There, sir Bernard Lovell tells him the source of that strange signal, a machine already used by newspapers to wire photographs. I said if we have our equipment here atjodrell bank, could we take the pictures . He said oh yes. I said what . You were on the phone to your editor. Straightaway. Sure enough they got one of these things from the daily express, they plugged it into the back of the telescope and out came the very first picture ever sent from the surface of the moon. Can you imagine . The big headline the next day was the express catches the moon. Fantastic. Andjust next day was the express catches the moon. Fantastic. And just before next day was the express catches the moon. Fantastic. Andjust before i drove away i stopped at this very spot and looked up at the telescope. You can imagine it is very emotional for me to do that. But i knew that history was being made, and that man would soon be on the moon. Terry, of course, was right, and by 1969 america is back in the lead. But jodrell banks telescopes knowjust how close it is. Often forgotten pa rt how close it is. Often forgotten part of the story is that actually we we re part of the story is that actually we were using the big telescope here to track a russian spacecraft that was going to soft land on the moon, scoop up a sample of lunar soil and perhaps beat the americans back home, getting all the scientific results without risking human life. As it turned out, the americans were successful and we tracked the russian attempt as it crashed into a mountain, but it could have easily been the other way around. The race is one, but the race is insignificant to scientists at jodrell bank, so when russia asked to share their data, they oblige, because then, as now, the only thing of any importance is finding the a nswe is of any importance is finding the a nswers to of any importance is finding the answers to the biggest question. How did the universe begin . How will the universe end, and maybe even, and this would be great, are we alone in the universe . And when you articulate it like that, the space race, who wins, who gets there first, just pales into insignificance. Its a little small arena in this sort of vast cosmic stage, i think, arena in this sort of vast cosmic stage, ithink, yes. Good luck arena in this sort of vast cosmic stage, i think, yes. Good luck with that journey. Thank you. Ijust want i just want to tell you a little ijust want to tell you a little bit more about, my goodness, that moment in history. The americans had finished their moonwalk. They were back inside the capsule, they were having a doze before they headed back to earth, and thats when the russians in luna 15 crash landed. And literally, within minutes, the telephone rang in the control centre that you see over my shoulder there, with a big glass window beneath that smaller telescope. Sir Bernard Lovell picked up the telephone. It was russia calling, the russian academy. They rang up and said we have to have this data, we have to know what has gone wrong. Jodrell bank were so happy to oblige. The russians put their man in an aeroplane on the way to manchester airport. Jodrell bank sent their man to meet him, a manila envelope was handed over with all of the important data to make sure that this crash didnt happen again. And it is unbelievable to think that that was going on right in the middle of the cold war, because all that matters is a deeper understanding, then just as that matters is a deeper understanding, thenjust as now. Get in touch with us, bbcmoon, but for now, back to you. Thanks, jane. Extraordinary times they were, thinking back, as we look back at the first moon landing tomorrow. Lets take a look at todays papers. Many lead on the vote by mps aimed at preventing the uk from leaving the eu without a deal. The metro describes it as the first revolt against boris johnson. It pictures rory mcilroy, who had a nightmare first day of the open in his home country of Northern Ireland. The Daily Telegraph says chancellor Philip Hammond was one of the driving forces behind yesterdays rebellion against boris johnson. It says mr hammond texted fellow mps to urge them to vote to block a no deal brexit. Good morning to you, ben. Ant mcpartlins driving ban has ended early, according to the sun. It says the tv presenter cut five months off his 20 month court punishment for drinking and driving by completing a course. And finally, the times leads with our top story, saying a £2 billion pay rise for Public Sector workers is set to be unveiled as one of theresa mays last acts as Prime Minister. Inflation busting for those in the Public Sector, but not
