Newsnight - Season 2011 Episode 124

Hundreds of thousands of public sector workers have gone on strike across the UK over planned pension changes. Tonight David Grossman, who has been out on the streets of London with protesters, examines the proposals for public service pensions and we'll hear from the government, Unions and the Labour Party. Meanwhile, Anna Adams has spent the day in Kent hearing from parents, pupils and teachers about how today's one day strike has affected them. Then we'll take a brief look at the history of British industrial disputes, and discuss what the political consequences of more strikes are likely to be with our political panel. And Sue Lloyd Roberts has another report for us from Syria - this time about how the revolution there kicked off and what role cyber activism played in it.
