More than 200 workers at the Royal Ordnance factory in Birtley, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 97 at the Royal Ordnance site in Glascoed, Gwent, will lose their jobs. Compulsory redundancies could not be ruled out, the company said. British Aerospace said the cuts reflected the "reduced defence spending in the UK and worldwide".  Next News Despatch Summaries Top Sport

Officers in the 130 state-run prisons in England and Wales are refusing to work unpaid overtime. The action coincides with today's one-day national strike over privatisation by six civil service unions. In Glasgow, officers at Barlinnie jail have held a two hour picket in protest against market testing.  Next News World Flash TV/Radio

The survey by the Child Poverty Action Group says income support is failing in its role as a safety net to support a basic lifestyle. The CPAG report says the family income support benefit rate of £108 a week is £34 short of meeting a "meagre" low-cost budget.  Home 110 Flash 150 Diary 180 Politics 130 World 160 Despatch 190 Next News Politics Main News Weather

But he hinted to BBC Radio 4's Today programme that job losses and cuts in overheads might be needed to pay for the new programmes. The programmes had to be financed on the back of a continuing programme of savings, Mr Birt said. He agreed there had been too many repeats in last summer's schedules but said they could only be reduced by investing in new programmes.  Next News Parl'ment World Main News
