0:00:05 > 0:00:08The Prime Minister sets out her plans for the coming year,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11in a new move to assert her authority.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Theresa May confirmed she's making changes to her top team,
0:00:14 > 0:00:23after a series of cabinet resignations.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Obviously, Damian Green's departure before Christmas means that some
0:00:26 > 0:00:31changes have to be made and I will be making some changes.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Labour says Mrs May should focus on the problems
0:00:33 > 0:00:35in the health service, calling the planned reshuffle
0:00:35 > 0:00:36"a desperate PR exercise".
0:00:36 > 0:00:37We'll have the latest.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Also on the programme...
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Some of the UK's biggest retailers have agreed to stop selling acids
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and corrosive substances, to curb violent assaults.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47There's misery for commuters, as a new round of strikes is due to
0:00:47 > 0:00:51begin on the railways at midnight.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54And a big upset in the FA cup, the holders Arsenal are knocked out,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56by Nottingham Forest.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Good evening.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Theresa May has been setting out her plans for the year ahead,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23and confirmed there'll be a cabinet reshuffle.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25It's expected tomorrow.The move is seen as an attempt
0:01:25 > 0:01:27to reassert her authority.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30In a BBC interview, she defended the government's record on the NHS,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32saying the current problems in the health service, were not
0:01:32 > 0:01:37simply due to a lack of funding.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Labour has called the planned reshuffle "little more
0:01:39 > 0:01:42than a desperate PR exercise" and said Mrs May should focus
0:01:42 > 0:01:44instead on the problems in the NHS.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Here's our Political Correspondent, Eleanor Garnier.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49New Year, perhaps a fresh start after a torrid 2017,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51in which Theresa May lost her majority in the general
0:01:51 > 0:01:56election, faced a rebellion from some of her own MPs,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59was forced to deal with Cabinet resignations and even had
0:01:59 > 0:02:02to sack her second-in-command.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06It means she starts the year with a reshuffle.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Well, no prizes for guessing, Andrew, obviously Damian Green's
0:02:08 > 0:02:14departure before Christmas means some changes do have to be made.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Speaking exclusively to the BBC, the Prime Minister has made clear,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20she wants her government to be about more than just Brexit, it
0:02:20 > 0:02:25insisting she is in listening mode.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28One of the clear messages we got was a number of areas which people
0:02:28 > 0:02:30were concerned about, what we were proposing.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Just as we have looked at issues on school funding, tuition fees,
0:02:34 > 0:02:40on housing and we are taking forward approaches in relation to that.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44On this issue of fox hunting, what I can say is their won't be
0:02:44 > 0:02:48a vote during this Parliament.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And on the environment, plans for 50 million more trees,
0:02:51 > 0:02:58a push to win over new voters and those who drifted away.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01But the New Year has already brought in old problems.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Under pressure on rising train fares, and claims this winter crisis
0:03:04 > 0:03:08is the toughest yet for the NHS.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11The NHS has actually been better prepared for this winter pressure
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and it has been before.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17You mentioned operations being postponed.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18That was part of the plan.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Of course, we want to ensure those operations can be reinstated
0:03:21 > 0:03:24as soon as possible, but it's about making sure those
0:03:24 > 0:03:26who most urgently need care are able to get that treatment
0:03:26 > 0:03:30when they need it.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Labour's blamed government cuts for the problems in the NHS
0:03:32 > 0:03:35and warned the Prime Minister against promoting the Health
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Secretary in this week's reshuffle.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41She hasn't got a plan to get those people off
0:03:41 > 0:03:42the trolleys in corridors.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Those elderly people, this freezing January
0:03:44 > 0:03:46being treated in ambulances.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48She's got no plan for them.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Her only plan, apparently, is to promote this Health Secretary.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54She should be demoting this Health Secretary.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56If she promotes this Health Secretary tomorrow,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00it is a betrayal of the 75,000 people in the back of ambulances.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03The Prime Minister said today, she's not a quitter and she'll want
0:04:03 > 0:04:06and need the best possible team around her to get her
0:04:06 > 0:04:09through what many predict will be a tough year ahead.
0:04:09 > 0:04:16Eleanor Garnier, BBC News, Westminster.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Well as we've been hearing, funding is as the heart
0:04:18 > 0:04:21of the debate over the problems facing the health service.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Labour insists the NHS needs more money, but the Government says
0:04:24 > 0:04:26the NHS is now better prepared for winter pressures.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Here's our Health Editor Hugh Pym...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33There are 73 outstanding ambulances right now.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36It was a striking image from a week of intense pressure.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Leah Butler-Smith's video of ambulances at a hospital
0:04:38 > 0:04:42with her mother waiting, even though she was having a stroke.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Big questions are now being asked about the NHS and its funding.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Health spending needs to keep rising to pay for new medicines and meet
0:04:51 > 0:04:52the sometimes complex needs of a population which
0:04:52 > 0:04:55is living longer.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59The percentage of the population aged over 65 in the UK was under 15%
0:04:59 > 0:05:06in the 1970s and is projected to get close to 25% by 2044.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Health spending across the UK has grown a lot since the 1950s,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13shown here after adjusting for inflation, and has now reached
0:05:13 > 0:05:18more than £140 billion per year.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Average annual government spending on health since the 1950s has gone
0:05:20 > 0:05:26up around 4% a year in real terms.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28But under the Coalition Government from 2010, the average increase
0:05:28 > 0:05:32in England was only just over 1% a year.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Under the Conservatives in the last couple of years,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38the average increases have been over 2%, but most in the health world
0:05:38 > 0:05:43argue it hasn't been enough to keep up with patient demand.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46The pressures, as we have seen over the last few weeks,
0:05:46 > 0:05:47are becoming intolerable.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51So it is now time to have an objective assessment
0:05:51 > 0:05:56about what we need over the next ten or 15 years and for us a society
0:05:56 > 0:05:59to decide whether we are willing or not willing to put in the funds
0:05:59 > 0:06:00that are required.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03There are now growing calls for a cross-party approach
0:06:03 > 0:06:06to working out what the NHS needs and how it should be paid for.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Hugh Pym, BBC News.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16Let's talk to Eleanor Garnier who's in Downing Street...
0:06:16 > 0:06:21What are you hearing about this planned reshuffle?Theresa May will
0:06:21 > 0:06:25want to be seen to be on the front foot as she starts the new Year,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29choosing the people around her, building her own tame and her
0:06:29 > 0:06:33supporters will say that the reshuffle is a sign of a strike then
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Prime Minister but others might add that of those in the top job stay
0:06:37 > 0:06:41the same then is this just tinkering around the edges and Labour have
0:06:41 > 0:06:47said it is a desperate PR exercise. As for the winners and losers, I
0:06:47 > 0:06:58would be surprised if
0:07:03 > 0:07:05some of the very biggest jobs are moved. Chancellor, Foreign
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Secretary, Home Secretary and Brexit secretary for example and perhaps we
0:07:07 > 0:07:09should expect more diversity, more women, more MPs from ethnic
0:07:09 > 0:07:12minorities. Theresa May might not want to be defined by Brexit but it
0:07:12 > 0:07:15is dominating the time of the government and efforts and those who
0:07:15 > 0:07:19might have survived 2017, there are plenty of opportunities ahead for
0:07:19 > 0:07:23slip-ups and difficult times ahead. Thank you.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Some of the UK's biggest retailers including B&Q, Wickes,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Morrisons and the Co-op, have agreed to stop selling acids
0:07:28 > 0:07:33and corrosive substances, to customers under 18.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36The aim is to cut the number of acid attacks,until legislation
0:07:36 > 0:07:37is introduced to officially ban such sales.
0:07:37 > 0:07:43Our Home Affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani has more.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49Arthur Collins, jailed for 20 years, for an appalling nightclub attack.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Watch this CCTV.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54You can see him throwing acid on his victims.
0:07:54 > 0:07:5622 people left with burns.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59A crime involving a household product that has been
0:07:59 > 0:08:01growing, year-on-year.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Police recorded more than 500 attacks involving corrosive
0:08:04 > 0:08:07substances in England and Wales in the year to last April.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Officials think the true figure could be twice as high,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14ministers have launched an action plan to cut attacks.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Today the first part of that plan, voluntary ban by DIY chains
0:08:18 > 0:08:24including B&Q on selling harmful chemicals to underrate teams.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Supermarkets are also involves, agreeing to challenge
0:08:26 > 0:08:28underage customers, just like they would if they
0:08:28 > 0:08:31were buying alcohol.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Acid attacks are just the most horrific crimes
0:08:33 > 0:08:37and what we want to do is to make sure that we restrict access,
0:08:37 > 0:08:38that we support victims, that we police these
0:08:38 > 0:08:42attacks really effectively.
0:08:42 > 0:08:50Jabad Hussain was attacked last year.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Police officers poured water into his eyes to save his sight.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55So, what does he think of the plan.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I would like to give welcome and thanks to the government,
0:08:58 > 0:08:59for what they are trying to do.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03But it is not the right way to do that and tackled this problem.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05There is not enough police on the streets to chase them.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07This is my home city.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08I should not tolerate that.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09You should not tolerate that.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10No one should tolerate that.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Thousands of independent hardware shops selling household chemicals
0:09:12 > 0:09:14are also being asked to sign up to the ban.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17But it's not clear how online sales will be controlled.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18This former senior prosecutor is sceptical.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Only one in five attacks are carried out by under 18s,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25so four in five adults will still be able to get hold of acid and use it
0:09:25 > 0:09:28them as they have been doing over the last year or two.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30These voluntary measures can only go so far.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Ministers want to ultimately create a new offence of carrying
0:09:32 > 0:09:36over-the-counter chemicals in public without good reason.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39But so much of this type of crime remains unknown.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Some academics are now looking at what motivates a criminal to turn
0:09:42 > 0:09:44a household product like drain cleaner into a weapon,
0:09:44 > 0:09:45one that has lifelong consequences.
0:09:45 > 0:09:53Dominic Casciani, BBC News at the Home Office in central London.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56More than thirty people are missing, after a collision between an oil
0:09:56 > 0:10:00tanker and a cargo ship off the east coast of China.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03The tanker which caught fire, was sailing from Iran to South Korea
0:10:03 > 0:10:05with more than a million tons of crude oil on board.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11The twenty-one Chinese crew on the cargo ship have been rescued.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, says she's
0:10:12 > 0:10:14optimistic her centre right Christian Democrat Party,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16can reach a coalition deal, with the centre-left Social
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Democrats.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Five days of talks have just begun, three months after Mrs Merkel failed
0:10:22 > 0:10:28to win a Parliamentary majority.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30The French President Emmanuel Macron, has paid tribute
0:10:30 > 0:10:33to seventeen victims of the Islamist attack on the offices of a satirical
0:10:33 > 0:10:38magazine and a Jewish supermarket in Paris three years ago.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40He laid wreathes at the former headquarters of the Charlie Hebdo
0:10:40 > 0:10:42magazine, where twelve people were killed, including a police
0:10:42 > 0:10:49officer and outside the supermarket.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51A new round of strikes on the railways is due
0:10:51 > 0:10:53to begin at midnight, just as millions of people
0:10:53 > 0:10:55are returning to work after the Christmas break.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Our business correspondent Joe Lynam is at London's Waterloo station.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Joe.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Yes, Clive.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Thousands of trains are expected to be cancelled tomorrow affecting
0:11:08 > 0:11:10hundreds of thousands of commuters, including those here
0:11:10 > 0:11:15at the country's busiest station.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17The RMT union affects 6 rail companies: Southern,
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Northern, South Western, Greater Anglia, Merseyrail and
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Island Line on the Isle of Wight.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24With the exception of Southern Rail, there will be 3 strikes this week
0:11:24 > 0:11:27starting at midnight tonight for 24 hours, then another walkout
0:11:27 > 0:11:36on Wednesday and again Friday.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40There will be some replacement bus services and some rival companies
0:11:40 > 0:11:47will affect -- accept tickets. The background is an ongoing dispute
0:11:47 > 0:11:52about cards on trains and one person operated trains. The union says it
0:11:52 > 0:11:57is a safety issue, but the rail companies say they have made major
0:11:57 > 0:11:59concessions in the past but passengers are caught in the middle
0:11:59 > 0:12:05and it comes only days after rail fares went up again. Back to you,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Clive. Thank you for that.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10The first major awards ceremony in Hollywood,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12since the Harvey Weinstein scandal, gets underway in
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Los Angeles tonight.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Stars attending the Golden Globes, are planning to dress in black,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19in a show of support for women who've suffered sexual harassment
0:12:19 > 0:12:20in the film industry.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Our North America Correspondent James Cook reports.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28This year, the red carpet will host a protest, not a party.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30The downfall of movie mogul, Harvey Weinstein, exposed decades
0:12:30 > 0:12:33of sexual abuse and harassment in Hollywood and now scores
0:12:33 > 0:12:43of stars are wearing black to the Golden Globes in solidarity.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48People will be in black but I don't think it will be funereal, I think
0:12:48 > 0:12:51it will be a celebration of all of us saying, it is time to do with
0:12:51 > 0:12:57this.So much darkness is creating unity and people are standing
0:12:57 > 0:13:00together. Unfortunately tragic times bring unity.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02The cleansing has already begun.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Accused of sexual assault, Kevin Spacey was cut from this film
0:13:04 > 0:13:06and replaced with Christopher Plummer.
0:13:06 > 0:13:14Co-star Michelle Williams told me she shot her scenes again for free.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Films because they are larger than life, they glorify people and I
0:13:18 > 0:13:23could not bear the thought of being in a movie with some in her who had
0:13:23 > 0:13:29her people.Is what is happening a permanent and significant change?
0:13:29 > 0:13:36Everyone is working day and night to create the kind of change that will
0:13:36 > 0:13:40be permanent. Are hope is to hand our daughter is a different world.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Hollywood is gathering to pat itself on the back, but everything has
0:13:45 > 0:13:48changed. A few months ago the entertainment industry was thrown
0:13:48 > 0:13:51into turmoil and everyone here is only just beginning to work out what
0:13:51 > 0:13:55that means for the future. James Cook, BBC News, Los Angeles.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57With all the sport, here's Olly Foster at
0:13:57 > 0:14:03the BBC Sport Centre...
0:14:03 > 0:14:06The holders Arsenal have been knocked out of the FA Cup 3-1
0:14:06 > 0:14:09by Nottingham Forest.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11There were 3 other 3rd round ties today.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Spurs are through after beating Wimbledon but West Ham were held
0:14:14 > 0:14:16by League One Shrowsbury and League 2 Newport County stunned
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Championship side Leeds .
0:14:17 > 0:14:23Here's our Sports correspondent Andy Swiss.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28Among the fans at Nottingham Forest, a familiar face, but as Arsene
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Wenger began his touchline ban, his life was not about to get easier. As
0:14:33 > 0:14:39Arsenal soon trails, the hosts went ahead. It proved just the start of a
0:14:39 > 0:14:43frantic first half. Per Mertesacker pounds and it was one all but the
0:14:43 > 0:14:50brink of half-time, forestry took the lead and howl. This stunning,
0:14:50 > 0:14:55they go to grace any stage. After the break, of Forest penalty made it
0:14:55 > 0:15:003-1 but Arsenal were not done as Danny Welbeck pulled one back and in
0:15:00 > 0:15:04the dying minutes, Forrest got another penalty and they sealed a
0:15:04 > 0:15:09famous win. It was dramatic, sometimes controversial, but the
0:15:09 > 0:15:14hosts are out. Earlier it was Newport County 's day, but with
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Leeds United taking the lead, and upset seemed unlikely. After the
0:15:19 > 0:15:25break, what daybreak, an equaliser, Shaughnessy with the most clinical
0:15:25 > 0:15:28of own goals. Newport sense something special and in the very
0:15:28 > 0:15:38final minute, sure enough.It is 2-1 to Newport County.He sent the
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Harbor Army into dreamland and you poured into the fourth round.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Shrewsbury's hopes of an upset birds eye by one of their old boys. Joe
