The Week Ahead with Yorkshire Post features writer John Blow

Transcript

00:00 Hi there, it's John Blow here from the Yorkshire Post Features team. I'm going to be taking

00:04 through some of the things coming up in the week ahead. First of all, the Tory party will

00:08 continue to gather for its conference. After starting yesterday, the event resumes today

00:12 at Manchester Central Convention Complex, building up to the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's

00:17 keynote speech on Wednesday. Consultants and junior doctors in England are to stage a joint

00:22 walkout in the dispute over pay from today until Wednesday, while the British Medical

00:27 Association is due to rally outside the Conservative conference tomorrow. Aslef train drivers at

00:33 rail networks across the country are also scheduled to strike on Wednesday, with an

00:36 overtime ban that will take place until Friday. Elsewhere, buildings of special historical

00:42 interest in York, which are not usually seen by the general public, will be open to visit

00:45 next weekend. York Unlocked takes place on Saturday and Sunday after a successful event

00:50 in 2022, this year Bishopthorpe Palace. The official residence of the Archbishop of York

00:56 will be one of those opening its doors for people to take a look. And it will be the

01:02 end of an era on the UK high street as Wilko's last remaining stores shut after trading on

01:06 Sunday following the retailer's fall into administration.
