dw. strikes by security guards at london heathrow airport will go ahead as planned from today, after last ditch talks failed to resolve a pay dispute. the walkout will end on easter sunday. it threatens disruption at the uk s largest airport at the start of the easter school holidays. i spoke to our transport correspondent katy austin a little earlier. well, it s security guards who work at terminal five at heathrow, which is only used by british airways. they are walking out today, and also security workers who deal with cargo coming in and out of the airport as well. but even though it is only those specific groups of security officers taking part in the strike, it does mean that staffing is stretched when it comes to security, and this is a very busy few days. today, the weekend, is the start of the easter getaway, so lots of passengers expected to be turning up to go on those holidays. and i think the impact on the ground, when we were at terminalfive earlier, to be fair,
