Threats of closure for key British mine

Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Britain's biggest remaining coal mine, Daw Mill, could face closure within weeks. Even though there are sufficient resources there to sustain nearly 1,000 jobs for 20 more years, harsh economic times have resulted in the owners saying they would rather close it down than agree to the pay rise that miners are demanding. Hundreds could lose their jobs as a result. But over the years, the 700 mines across Britain have turned into just seven. And local communities are resigned to news about the potential closure of yet another one. Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee reports from Warwickshire, England.
