One of the UK's biggest ports, the Port of Liverpool is where dock workers have announced they have called off a planned strike after reaching a deal on pay.

Dockers numbering almost 600 and who are members of the union Unite at the Port of Liverpool had taken part in previous strikes. Further action was scheduled to take place on 14 November after the union said pay talks had ended in "chaos".

The port's operator, Peel Ports Group said an agreement had been reached and would be put to union members in a vote that is to take place later in the week.

Details of the dockers deal have not been released.
