With no sign of resolution, the two-day strike by London tube drivers has caused the capital's worst disruption for years.

It could cost the economy more than a £100m.

Talks at the conciliation service Acas broke down last night. Now unions and management have accused each other of walking away from a deal.

 

 


Leading the strike is the RMT boss, Bob Crow. But members of the other rail union Aslef, have not followed him to the picket line. Earlier Jon Snow asked him why. Jon Snow also spoke to the London Mayor Boris Johnson and put the RMT's claim to him that the deal they thought they had come to last night was torn up.
