A planned eight-hour strike by London's firefighters will go ahead on Monday after 11th-hour talks broke down, the Fire Brigades Union has said.

The FBU and London Fire Brigade had met in an attempt to avert the strike and one set to start on Bonfire Night.

The FBU had previously left talks in the row over contracts, but the brigade had said compromise was achievable.

Union members are due to strike from 1000 GMT on Monday and from 1000 GMT on 5 November to 0900 GMT on 7 November.

The strikes will involve about 5,500 firefighters and 111 fire stations.

I thought it was originally going to be on Bonfire night. What happened?
