0:00:05 > 0:00:06Tonight at Ten.

0:00:06 > 0:00:07Theresa May defends the Government's

0:00:07 > 0:00:11handling of the NHS, as she prepares a cabinet reshuffle.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14Outlining her plans for the New Year, she insists

0:00:14 > 0:00:16the health service is performing better than before, but admits

0:00:16 > 0:00:23'nothing is perfect.'

0:00:23 > 0:00:29Their is more for us to do. We have planned for the winter pressures

0:00:29 > 0:00:33this year, we put more money in and there has been planning and

0:00:33 > 0:00:36hospitals have been dealing with it in different ways.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38We'll be looking at the debate surrounding NHS funding,

0:00:38 > 0:00:40and what to expect from tomorrow's cabinet reshuffle.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41Also tonight...

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Some of the UK's biggest retailers agree to stop selling acid

0:00:44 > 0:00:48and corrosive chemicals, to curb violent assaults.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49And gearing up for the Globes...

0:00:49 > 0:00:55Why black will be the colour this year.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58And England are heading for defeat in the final Ashes Test,

0:00:58 > 0:00:59needing to bat all day in Sydney, just to get a draw.

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Good evening.

0:01:22 > 0:01:23The Prime Minister has defended her government's

0:01:23 > 0:01:26handling of the NHS, as she set out her plans

0:01:26 > 0:01:31for the coming year, including a cabinet reshuffle due tomorrow.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Theresa May insists the NHS has never been better prepared

0:01:33 > 0:01:35for winter pressures, and described thousands

0:01:35 > 0:01:40of postponed operations as 'part of the plan' to cope.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Tomorrow's reshuffle, prompted by the forced resignation

0:01:42 > 0:01:44of the First Secretary of State Damian Green, was described

0:01:44 > 0:01:45by Labour as a PR exercise.

0:01:45 > 0:01:52Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier reports.

0:01:52 > 0:01:57A New Year, perhaps a fresh start, after a 2017 in which Theresa May

0:01:57 > 0:02:01lost her majority in the general election, faced a rebellion

0:02:01 > 0:02:05from some of her own MPs, was forced to deal with Cabinet

0:02:05 > 0:02:07resignations and even had to sack her second

0:02:07 > 0:02:11in command, Damian Green.

0:02:11 > 0:02:16It means she starts the year with a reshuffle.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Well, it is no prizes for guessing, Andrew, that obviously,

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Damian Green's departure before Christmas means that some

0:02:21 > 0:02:23changes do have to be made.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26And speaking exclusively to the BBC, the Prime Minister has made clear

0:02:26 > 0:02:29she wants her government to be about more than just Brexit,

0:02:29 > 0:02:35insisting she is in listening mode.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37One of the clear messages we got was the number of areas

0:02:37 > 0:02:40where people were concerned about what we were proposing.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Just as we have looked at issues on school funding,

0:02:42 > 0:02:46on tuition fees, on housing, we are taking forward approaches

0:02:46 > 0:02:52in relation to that.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55On this issue of fox hunting, there will not be a vote

0:02:55 > 0:02:57during this Parliament.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00That decision to abandon the vote on fox hunting is part of an attempt

0:03:00 > 0:03:07to win over new voters and those who had drifted away.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Just as with plans to plant 50 million more trees

0:03:09 > 0:03:17and the party's renewed focus on the environment.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20But the New Year has already brought in old problems.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Under pressure on rising train fares and claims this winter crisis

0:03:22 > 0:03:27is the toughest yet for the NHS.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29The NHS has actually been better prepared for winter pressures

0:03:29 > 0:03:33than it has been before.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34You mentioned operations being postponed, that

0:03:34 > 0:03:37was part of the plan.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Of course we want to ensure that those operations can be

0:03:40 > 0:03:44reinstated as soon as possible, but it is about making sure

0:03:44 > 0:03:46that those who most urgently need care are able to get

0:03:46 > 0:03:49that treatment immediately.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Labour has blamed government cuts for the problems in the NHS

0:03:52 > 0:03:54this winter and warned the Prime Minister against promoting

0:03:54 > 0:04:01the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt in this week's reshuffle.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03She has not got a plan to get those people off

0:04:03 > 0:04:05the trolleys and corridors, those elderly people,

0:04:05 > 0:04:07in this freezing January, being treated in ambulances,

0:04:07 > 0:04:09she has no plan for them.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Her only plan, apparently, is to promote this Health Secretary.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14She should be demoting this Health Secretary.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16If she promotes this Health Secretary tomorrow,

0:04:16 > 0:04:21it is a betrayal of those 75,000 people in the back of ambulances.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24The Prime Minister said today she is not a quitter

0:04:24 > 0:04:27and she will want and need the best possible team around her to get her

0:04:27 > 0:04:30through what many predict will be a tough year ahead.

0:04:30 > 0:04:37Eleanor Garnier, BBC News, Westminster.

0:04:37 > 0:04:42Well Theresa May insisted today that the NHS was being properly

0:04:42 > 0:04:44funded by the Conservative government despite accusations

0:04:44 > 0:04:45to the contrary from Labour.

0:04:45 > 0:04:46The NHS Confederation, which represents employers,

0:04:46 > 0:04:49has called for a major new study of the funding needs

0:04:49 > 0:04:50of the health service.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Our Health Editor Hugh Pym, has been looking at some of the numbers.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55There are 73 outstanding ambulances right now.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58It was a striking image from a week of intense pressure on the NHS.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Leah Butler-Smith's video of ambulances queuing at a hospital

0:05:01 > 0:05:06while her mother waited, even as she was having a stroke.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Events like these have fired up a new debate

0:05:08 > 0:05:12on the NHS and its funding.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Health spending needs to keep rising to pay for new medicines and meet

0:05:15 > 0:05:17the sometimes complex needs of a population which

0:05:17 > 0:05:20is living longer.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23The percentage of the population aged over 65 in the UK was under 15%

0:05:23 > 0:05:31in the 1970s and is projected to get close to 25% by 2044.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Health spending across the UK has grown a lot since the 1950s,

0:05:34 > 0:05:36shown here after adjusting for inflation, and has now reached

0:05:36 > 0:05:42more than £140 billion per year.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Average annual government spending on health since the 1950s has gone

0:05:45 > 0:05:50up around 4% a year in real terms.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52But under the Coalition Government from 2010, the average increase

0:05:52 > 0:05:57in England was only just over 1% a year.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Under the Conservatives in the last couple of years,

0:05:59 > 0:06:02the average increases have been over 2%, but most in the health world

0:06:02 > 0:06:09argue it hasn't been enough to keep up with patient demand.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Now there are calls for urgent new thinking on what the NHS needs

0:06:12 > 0:06:15and how it should be paid for.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18The NHS and social care are not sustainable undercurrents government

0:06:18 > 0:06:23plans and we've told them that repeatedly.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26I think it's time now for a wake-up call, not just for the government

0:06:26 > 0:06:29but the whole political class, to face up to the fact that over

0:06:29 > 0:06:32the next ten or 15 years, health and social care

0:06:32 > 0:06:35will need additional funding.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37We need some objective evidence to demonstrate what is required over

0:06:37 > 0:06:41that period and as a society we need to think, reflect on whether we are

0:06:41 > 0:06:48prepared to put in funding that will be required.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Few doubt that the NHS could be more efficient

0:06:50 > 0:06:52but in its 70th birthday year, there are growing demands

0:06:52 > 0:06:55for a cross-party approach to work out how the service can be financed

0:06:55 > 0:07:00in the decades ahead.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Hugh Pym, BBC News.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Let's return to Eleanor Garnier, who's outside Number 10 for us.

0:07:06 > 0:07:15Eleanor, what are we expecting from tomorrow's reshuffle?

0:07:15 > 0:07:18This is a long-awaited reshuffle and Theresa May will want to be seen to

0:07:18 > 0:07:23be on the front foot, choosing the people around her, building her own

0:07:23 > 0:07:29team and I think her supporters will suggest that a reshuffle is a sign

0:07:29 > 0:07:33of a strengthened Prime Minister but others might ask that if those in

0:07:33 > 0:07:38the top jobs stay the same, is it any more than tinkering around the

0:07:38 > 0:07:44edges. Labour have called this a desperate PR exercise. When it comes

0:07:44 > 0:07:58to winners and losers, I would be surprised if some of those in the

0:08:01 > 0:08:03biggest jobs are moved, like the Chancellor, the Foreign Secretary,

0:08:03 > 0:08:05the Home Secretary and the Brexit secretary for example. We should

0:08:05 > 0:08:07expect a more diverse team, perhaps more women and those from ethnic

0:08:07 > 0:08:10minorities. I think Theresa May might want to balance her Cabinet in

0:08:10 > 0:08:15terms of Brexit, that big issue that is dominating the time of the

0:08:15 > 0:08:18government and effort, many people feel that the toughest decisions are

0:08:18 > 0:08:24still to come in those negotiations and with them, the opportunities for

0:08:24 > 0:08:29trouble and testing times for the Prime Minister.Thank you.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Donald Trump's former strategist, Steve Bannon, has expressed

0:08:31 > 0:08:33regret for comments - attributed to him -

0:08:33 > 0:08:35in a book which depicts the president as being

0:08:35 > 0:08:37unfit for office. In a statement, Mr Bannon

0:08:37 > 0:08:39said his remarks were aimed at Mr Trump's former campaign

0:08:39 > 0:08:40manager, Paul Manafort, not the President.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43He's also rowed back on quotes in the book

0:08:43 > 0:08:52about Mr Trump's son, Donald Junior.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Major retailers have signed up to a voluntary ban on selling

0:08:55 > 0:08:56corrosive liquids to under-eighteens,

0:08:56 > 0:08:57in a bid to try and reduce

0:08:57 > 0:08:59the number of acid attacks.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Drain cleaner and paint stripper

0:09:01 > 0:09:03are among the substances covered by the ban.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05The government promising legislation to combat this growing problem.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09Our Home Affairs Correspondent Dominic Casciani has the story.

0:09:09 > 0:09:14Arthur Collins jailed for 20 years for an appalling nightclub attack.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Watch this CCTV.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19You can see him throwing acid on his victims.

0:09:19 > 0:09:2222 people were left with burns.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24A crime involving a household product that has been

0:09:24 > 0:09:27growing, year-on-year.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Police recorded more than 500 attacks involving corrosive

0:09:29 > 0:09:32substances in England and Wales in the year to last April.

0:09:32 > 0:09:37Officials think the true figure could be twice as high.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Ministers have launched an action plan including a review of how cases

0:09:40 > 0:09:43are prosecuted and first aid training for police.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45And from today, a voluntary ban by DIY chains including B&Q

0:09:45 > 0:09:50on selling harmful chemicals to under 18's.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Supermarkets will also be able to challenge underage customers,

0:09:54 > 0:09:57just like they would if they were buying alcohol.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Acid attacks are just the most horrific crimes

0:09:59 > 0:10:02and what we want to do is make sure that we restrict access,

0:10:02 > 0:10:04that we support victims, that we police these

0:10:04 > 0:10:08attacks really effectively.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Jabad Hussain was attacked last year.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Police officers poured water into his eyes to save his sight,

0:10:12 > 0:10:16so what does he think of the plan?

0:10:16 > 0:10:19I would like to give welcome and thanks to the government

0:10:19 > 0:10:20for what they are trying to do.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24But it is not the right way to do that, to handle this problem,

0:10:24 > 0:10:26because there are not enough police on the street to chase them.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28This is my home city.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29I should not tolerate that.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30You should not tolerate that.

0:10:30 > 0:10:31No one should tolerate that.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Thousands of independent hardware shops selling household chemicals

0:10:33 > 0:10:37are also being asked to sign up.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39But while a shopkeeper can challenge a teenager at the counter,

0:10:39 > 0:10:42adult criminals will still be able to buy products on the

0:10:42 > 0:10:46High Street and online.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Only one in five attacks are actually carried

0:10:48 > 0:10:49out by under eighteens.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52So four out of five adults will still be able to get hold

0:10:52 > 0:10:54of acid and use them as they have been doing over

0:10:54 > 0:10:56the last year or two.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58These involuntary measures can only go so far.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00And ministers ultimately want to create a new offence

0:11:00 > 0:11:01of carrying over-the-counter chemicals in public

0:11:01 > 0:11:03without good reason.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06But so much of this type of crime remains unknown so academics are now

0:11:06 > 0:11:09looking at what motivates a criminal to turn a household product

0:11:09 > 0:11:12like drain cleaner into a weapon, one that has lifelong consequences.

0:11:12 > 0:11:21Dominic Casciani, BBC News, the Home Office, Central London.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24A new round of strikes on the railways in England is due

0:11:24 > 0:11:27to begin at midnight, just as millions of people

0:11:27 > 0:11:28are returning to work after the Christmas break.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Our Business Correspondent Joe Lynam, is at London's

0:11:30 > 0:11:31Waterloo station.

0:11:31 > 0:11:39Joe.

0:11:39 > 0:11:44Thank you. More than a thousand train services and hundreds of

0:11:44 > 0:11:48thousands of passengers including some from here at Waterloo will be

0:11:48 > 0:11:55affected by this strike. In total five companies are affected.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Southern, Northern, South Western, Greater Anglia and Merseyrail and

0:11:58 > 0:12:03with the exception of Southern there will be three days of strikes

0:12:03 > 0:12:07starting at midnight, for 24 hours and then on Wednesday and then on

0:12:07 > 0:12:12Friday. In terms of mitigation, some of the train companies will be

0:12:12 > 0:12:16offering a rail replacement bus service and some rival train

0:12:16 > 0:12:20companies will be accepting tickets even though they are not directly

0:12:20 > 0:12:26involved in the dispute which centres on the role of the guards

0:12:26 > 0:12:31and one person operated trains. As ever, passengers are caught up in

0:12:31 > 0:12:35the dispute and it is only a few days since rail fares went up

0:12:35 > 0:12:41substantially at the start of the year. Back to you, Clive.Thank you.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Let's take a look at some of the day's other top stories...

0:12:44 > 0:12:47There's to be a review into how the Parole Board makes decisions,

0:12:47 > 0:12:49after the imminent release was announced of the serial sex

0:12:49 > 0:12:52offender John Worboys.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54The former London taxi driver was convicted of 20 offences,

0:12:54 > 0:12:56including rape, but police say they believe he attacked

0:12:56 > 0:12:57many more women.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59He's been given parole, after serving a minimum

0:12:59 > 0:13:03term of eight years.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, says she's

0:13:05 > 0:13:07optimistic her centre right Christian Democrat Party,

0:13:07 > 0:13:09can reach a coalition deal, with the centre-left Social

0:13:09 > 0:13:10Democrats.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Five days of talks have just begun, three months after Mrs Merkel failed

0:13:13 > 0:13:19to win a Parliamentary majority.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22A sixty-year-old man has been killed in Sweden after picking up an object

0:13:22 > 0:13:23which exploded in his hand.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Swedish police say it was most likely a hand grenade.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28The object was found outside an underground station

0:13:28 > 0:13:29in a suburb of Stockholm.

0:13:29 > 0:13:36Police are not linking the incident to terrorism.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38The BBC's China Editor Carrie Gracie has resigned from her post,

0:13:38 > 0:13:41citing pay inequality with male colleagues doing the same work.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43In an open letter, Ms Gracie accused the corporation

0:13:43 > 0:13:45of having a 'secretive and illegal pay structure'.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48The BBC has responded saying a review last year showed 'no

0:13:48 > 0:13:49systemic discrimination against women' amongst

0:13:49 > 0:13:50rank and file staff.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Our Media Editor Amol Rajan joins me.

0:13:52 > 0:14:01Amol, what else is this letter saying?

0:14:07 > 0:14:11It is worth saying that Carrie Gracie who appears frequently on

0:14:11 > 0:14:15this programme is hugely respected, she has been at the BBC for over 30

0:14:15 > 0:14:20years and her allegation is that the BBC discriminates illegally against

0:14:20 > 0:14:24women by paying many of them less than men in equivalent jobs. She

0:14:24 > 0:14:30says she does not want a pay rise, she wants to be paid the same of men

0:14:30 > 0:14:34doing an equivalent job. You mentioned the response, the BBC take

0:14:34 > 0:14:38the issue seriously, they have undertaken three internal audits of

0:14:38 > 0:14:50pay and they go much

0:14:55 > 0:14:57further than other public organisations on equality. This is a

0:14:57 > 0:14:59moment of high danger because last summer it was forced to publish the

0:14:59 > 0:15:02salary of staff getting over more than £150,000 and now tomorrow, 200

0:15:02 > 0:15:04women have complained internally and there is huge anger among female

0:15:04 > 0:15:06staff about this issue. This is not just about internal staff

0:15:06 > 0:15:09management, it is also about public perception and there is a danger

0:15:09 > 0:15:14that if this letter leads to legal action, then the BBC and BBC News

0:15:14 > 0:15:19could be generating headlines for all the wrong reasons.Thank you.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21The film awards season kicks off in three hours' time

0:15:21 > 0:15:23with the start of the Golden Globes.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25They're the first major awards ceremony since Hollywood was hit

0:15:25 > 0:15:26by the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48The final day of the Ashes starts in just over an hour.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51England have already lost the series and will lose the final Test

0:17:51 > 0:17:54unless they can bat out the day for an improbable draw.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57And their cause hasn't been helped by the news that the England captain

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Joe Root has been taken to hospital.

0:17:59 > 0:18:09Let's get the latest from Sydney, Patrick Gearey is there for us.

0:18:10 > 0:18:15Joe Root is due at the crease in just over an hour. What is the

0:18:15 > 0:18:19latest on his condition?Dramatic news. The effect of that batting

0:18:19 > 0:18:24average in the soaring temperatures has taken its role that like its

0:18:24 > 0:18:28toll on Joe Root. He has dehydration and it is not sure if he will be

0:18:28 > 0:18:33able to resume his innings. He was perhaps England's last chance at

0:18:33 > 0:18:37their top order subsided. He was there with Jonny Bairstow at the end

0:18:37 > 0:18:45but it is not clear whether he will be able to go back to the crease and

0:18:45 > 0:18:48help England get through the day. Whatever happens with or without Joe

0:18:48 > 0:18:52Root, it is not going to gloss over what has been a very bad series for

0:18:52 > 0:18:58England.Yes, England's tale would need to survive the rest of the day

0:18:58 > 0:19:03to get a draw, Australia just need six wickets. England have been

0:19:03 > 0:19:07disappointing. Although they have not completely fallen apart and

0:19:07 > 0:19:11there is team unity, they have not competed often enough in and of Test

0:19:11 > 0:19:16matches in this series and I think when Australia, if they can complete

0:19:16 > 0:19:20this victory, questions will be asked about what went wrong for

0:19:20 > 0:19:25England and how English cricket can stop it happening again.Patrick
