0:00:11 > 0:00:14We'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment -
0:00:14 > 0:00:18first the headlines.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Theresa May defends the government's record on the NHS, insisting
0:00:20 > 0:00:23it was better prepared for the pressures of winter
0:00:23 > 0:00:25than it had been before, despite hospitals having to postpone
0:00:25 > 0:00:29tens of thousands of non-urgent operations.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32We have put extra money in for coping with winter pressures.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35In the Budget in November, we also announced that for the next couple
0:00:35 > 0:00:38of years, there will be further money going into the National Health
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Service.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46They haven't got a plan to get people off colleagues in
0:00:46 > 0:00:47corridors.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Those elderly people this freezing January, being treated in
0:00:49 > 0:00:54ambulances.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The Prime Minister is to carry out a cabinet reshuffle tomorrow
0:00:57 > 0:01:00amid reports that several ministers could be sacked or moved.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03All 32 crew from a tanker carrying Iranian oil tanker are missing off
0:01:03 > 0:01:13the east coast of China.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18It collided with a cargo ship and caught fire,
0:01:18 > 0:01:19spewing oil into the ocean.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22The BBC's China editor is stepping down from the role ,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24citing unequal pay with her male colleagues.Carrie Gracie says
0:01:24 > 0:01:26she will stay with the organisation in a different position.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
0:01:38 > 0:01:39bringing us tomorrow.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41With me are parliamentary journalist, Tony Grew
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and the entertainment journalist, Caroline Frost.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Tomorrow's front pages.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00welcome to you both. You should see what they are wearing on their feet,
0:02:00 > 0:02:01not appropriate at all.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Tomorrow's front pages.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Next to a picture of the papers former editor Peter Preston
0:02:05 > 0:02:07the Guardian says the Prime Minister is set to reassert control
0:02:07 > 0:02:08with a cabinet reshuffle.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11The Financial Times says that Britain will push to remain under EU
0:02:11 > 0:02:21regulation when it comes to medicines and pharmaceuticals.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29The Telegraph says that BBC is appointing a no deal Brexit
0:02:29 > 0:02:30minister.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33The Metro shows an image of the Prime Minister who was told
0:02:33 > 0:02:36in an interview by the journalist Andrew Marr that, when he had
0:02:36 > 0:02:38a stroke in 2013 , NHS delays would have killed him.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42The front page of the I also has a picture from that interview -
0:02:42 > 0:02:44where Theresa May claims she has listened to the voters.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47The Times leads with accusations that the BBC is accused of breaking
0:02:47 > 0:02:49equality law after Carrie Gracie steps down as the
0:02:49 > 0:02:50corporations China Editor.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54The Daily Express says that Britain is in the grip of a killer flu -
0:02:54 > 0:03:00the worst outbreak for 50 years.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05Shall we start with the reshuffle? It's going to be tomorrow isn't it?
0:03:05 > 0:03:09And Tuesday.We are told it will be reshuffled, it will be a huge
0:03:09 > 0:03:14surprise is not given the publicity in advance.The Daily Telegraph is
0:03:14 > 0:03:19saying made to appoint no deal minister, rather than secretary of
0:03:19 > 0:03:27state?According to the Telegraph that will be Steve Baker, a leading
0:03:27 > 0:03:32Leave campaigner, his number two at the Brexit department at the moment.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Eurosceptics believe that appointing a no deal minister will help Britain
0:03:35 > 0:03:39when a better deal on Brexit as it was show the EU Mrs May is serious
0:03:39 > 0:03:44about walking away. I think she is serious about that already and not
0:03:44 > 0:03:49appointing a new minister won't affect what Brussels will think
0:03:49 > 0:03:54about the exit or negotiation. But it gives further reassurance about
0:03:54 > 0:03:57appointing MPs on their own benchers who are concerned that this is all
0:03:57 > 0:03:59going to go a bit soft and not having a weird white
0:04:02 > 0:04:08-- red white and blue Brexit but something different instead.There's
0:04:08 > 0:04:14been all sorts of shades and our stable of ministers to deal with.A
0:04:14 > 0:04:20stable Brexit. People be watching the movement in the Cabinet. Theresa
0:04:20 > 0:04:24May is a very busy woman, she is dealing with the health crisis as
0:04:24 > 0:04:29well. The big four seems to be staying put, everyone wonders where
0:04:29 > 0:04:37they will go next but she is opting to keep Boris as well as the
0:04:37 > 0:04:45Chancellor, and Amber Rudd and Gavin Williamson. The focus will be who is
0:04:45 > 0:04:52leading the Brexit team.The Telegraph under the impression that
0:04:52 > 0:04:55the Defence Secretary said big gun of the Cabinet, he is not.It's
0:04:55 > 0:05:00where he's come from as well. He's the man with a tarantula as is and
0:05:00 > 0:05:08he?If you have to have a chance to intimidate, you're not intimidating.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12You're right, in a couple of months ago, there was a lot of chatter
0:05:12 > 0:05:17about Boris might be moved into a Brexit role ie out of the Foreign
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Office. It's very clear he is now staying in the Foreign Office. She
0:05:21 > 0:05:25was strong enough to reshuffle the team but not sack Boris Johnson.
0:05:25 > 0:05:31She's not got that much many pieces to move around? The Guardian says
0:05:31 > 0:05:36may is trying to assert control, but it's seems to be Justine Greening in
0:05:36 > 0:05:44education.And Patrick who has wanted to stand down after the
0:05:44 > 0:05:50disastrous election.The mooted move for Jeremy Hunt, if ever, people
0:05:50 > 0:05:54will be looking at health. Whoever takes that Basson on will be jumping
0:05:54 > 0:06:00into the deep end of the pool.But also Jeremy Hunt has been in post
0:06:00 > 0:06:07longer than any Health Secretary I can remember. Met Theresa May rates
0:06:07 > 0:06:13him and wants him in the role of number two in the government, a
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Deputy Prime Minister, coordinating government. Will she have the
0:06:18 > 0:06:23strength or will she think it's a good time to move Jeremy Hunt? We
0:06:23 > 0:06:28will find out tomorrow. Some of this is about getting someone in an
0:06:28 > 0:06:31taking their job, giving them a worse job than someone doesn't want
0:06:31 > 0:06:36to take it and resign. There may well be some of that.People feeling
0:06:36 > 0:06:42sore and upset. The metro, NHS delayed would have killed me, Mrs
0:06:42 > 0:06:48May. This is Andrew Marr who survived a stroke some time ago and
0:06:48 > 0:06:52apply minister was on his programme morning.It's cracking television if
0:06:52 > 0:06:58nothing else. Theresa May clearly got a health crisis, we've see most
0:06:58 > 0:07:04damning videos and photographs lying on hospital and corridor floors.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08It's an easy attack by the opposition, she think she wants to
0:07:08 > 0:07:12look at this but she's faced with a very high-profile presenter with a
0:07:12 > 0:07:15very personal and meaningful anecdotes saying it was life or
0:07:15 > 0:07:19death for him if the crisis had happened now, he may have possibly
0:07:19 > 0:07:24not survive. That's a pretty striking blow to make at the Prime
0:07:24 > 0:07:31Minister face to face.How is that as a viewer? We are often told you
0:07:31 > 0:07:35don't make yourself the story.The first one is that the vast majority
0:07:35 > 0:07:42of the voters don't expect to see Andrew Marr on Sunday morning with
0:07:42 > 0:07:46the interview with the Prime Minister, which is why it's
0:07:46 > 0:07:50interesting it's resonated onto the front pages. One leads on what the
0:07:50 > 0:07:58PM said in the mast beat. I take your point, but Theresa May does not
0:07:58 > 0:08:01have human reaction. You say your aunt could have died and she stares
0:08:01 > 0:08:07at you impassively. The idea she will erode back...What is she
0:08:07 > 0:08:10supposed to say other than I'm terribly sorry? -- she will demote
0:08:14 > 0:08:18It's a very difficult line for a Prime Minister to come back on but
0:08:18 > 0:08:22showing some sort of empathy might at some point be helpful as a piece
0:08:22 > 0:08:27of advice. She saying she's listening to the voters, I'm not
0:08:27 > 0:08:33sure I've ever heard a politician say they weren't.I disagree Tony, I
0:08:33 > 0:08:37think someone like Andrew Marr, we don't realise how high-profile the
0:08:37 > 0:08:42likes of them are, you are in people's living rooms. People were
0:08:42 > 0:08:45affected by Andrew Marr suffering as he did and him going out and say
0:08:45 > 0:08:50that there is a very strong personal statement. I agree with Tony that
0:08:50 > 0:08:54she doesn't demote on demand and she is a bit similar to the Queen in
0:08:54 > 0:09:02that sense, she probably recognises a stand 100 miles away. She doesn't
0:09:02 > 0:09:08still weeping with him on television is going to be the answer.Cordial
0:09:08 > 0:09:19disagreement, that's what we like. I've got trainers on. The Daily
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Express, Britain in grip of killers glue.
0:09:22 > 0:09:29-- killer flu. I was wondering whether Metro is still on the
0:09:29 > 0:09:36screen. New fears the outbreak could be worse for 50 years. We have the
0:09:36 > 0:09:42strains of flu which can be epidemics, pandemic.They can be and
0:09:42 > 0:09:46the thing to remember is the most specific groups of the size you are
0:09:46 > 0:09:49vulnerable, some of the headlines of the writing around this is a bit
0:09:49 > 0:09:53apocalyptic interview the bid Daily Express's readership tends to be
0:09:53 > 0:09:59over 60 so this could be a serious health risk. We get these strains of
0:09:59 > 0:10:03flu that come in from time to time, not being an epidemiologist, not
0:10:03 > 0:10:09much more I can say.The flu jabs are often different types of flu.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Sometimes the jabs run short.I remember once I was in Romania on
0:10:14 > 0:10:23holiday, somewhere no one had been, I found that the only bit of avian
0:10:23 > 0:10:29flu to worry about was there. It was a strange holiday.The daily Star
0:10:29 > 0:10:37has a map. A big red map.Can I just borrow that please? It's after nine
0:10:37 > 0:10:41o'clock don't need to see a woman who's forgotten to put her on. There
0:10:41 > 0:10:52you go. -- that her vest on. Here's the map with some of London and
0:10:52 > 0:11:03quite a Dorset. Republic of Ireland doesn't exist! Effective areas
0:11:03 > 0:11:07making the point that the whole country will be affected.It's
0:11:07 > 0:11:11apocalyptic character is presented, but there are alerts the country, it
0:11:11 > 0:11:16is a concern.And not to shake hands of people.Shaking hands has been
0:11:16 > 0:11:22axed by hospital.At one point they said it's been banned which is
0:11:22 > 0:11:28concerning, the handshake brand.I think we should all be vigilant
0:11:28 > 0:11:34because we touch to stations but fixing of and
0:11:37 > 0:11:42if there's one thing to take this from deceiving its don't sneeze and
0:11:42 > 0:11:47don't touch your face.Don't wash your hands all the time. Regularly.
0:11:47 > 0:11:53Marketers are floor manager the night and they always have the
0:11:53 > 0:11:58alcohol wipes so we have the table wipes down -- Mart is our floor
0:11:58 > 0:12:04manager. Finishing with the Times, BBC accused of breaking the law as
0:12:04 > 0:12:10star quits over pay. This is my colleague, friend, China editor
0:12:10 > 0:12:19Carrie Gracie, appointed by the BBC, the first time they had a China
0:12:19 > 0:12:24editor in recognition of the importance of the China story.
0:12:24 > 0:12:31Carrie Gracie is fluent in Mandarin. She says she can't carry on her post
0:12:31 > 0:12:35because the pay system is this territory at the BBC.It's a big
0:12:35 > 0:12:38story, we are sitting on the BBC's studio talking about is as we
0:12:38 > 0:12:44should. She feels she has a strong case, she wrote a public letter to
0:12:44 > 0:12:48the licence payer saying be warned, the BBC may take on a case it cannot
0:12:48 > 0:12:54possibly win. Those are fighting words the someone coming back to
0:12:54 > 0:12:59work within the corporation from being out in the field. It comes at
0:12:59 > 0:13:02a time ever so much attention in all matters in this. It sits beneath a
0:13:02 > 0:13:09photo of the Times movement which is happening at the movement while
0:13:09 > 0:13:16women are fed up of being mistreated in the film industry, with sexual
0:13:16 > 0:13:20harassment and inequality clearly, this is a huge widening story and
0:13:20 > 0:13:24she has leg put as a figurehead.The BBC will say and is saying that we
0:13:24 > 0:13:30are carrying out reviews, we have looked at a variety of levels, they
0:13:30 > 0:13:34admit to having agenda pay gap of 10% which is a lot less than a lot
0:13:34 > 0:13:41of companies. But that compares average female pay.It was yesterday
0:13:41 > 0:13:47we saw some of the biggest companies in the country admitting that they
0:13:47 > 0:13:51had huge gender gaps, easyJet had 50%. What is happening that as
0:13:51 > 0:14:03pilots, many of whom are male, has played more than cabin crew who are
0:14:03 > 0:14:04sometimes telemetry
0:14:04 > 0:14:11Women. It is illegal to pay women less than men. I'm surprised it's
0:14:11 > 0:14:16taken until 2018 for the BBC to realise that and have a review. I'm
0:14:16 > 0:14:22not criticising the BBC exclusively because this is a culture across our
0:14:22 > 0:14:24country, across private corporations, BBC corporations,
0:14:24 > 0:14:30across every sector from the law... It's ingrained, I understand why she
0:14:30 > 0:14:36has done this but I think it's also interesting that the North American
0:14:36 > 0:14:43editor is paid more than Jeremie Boga Middle East editor. So does the
0:14:43 > 0:14:48BBC think that the North America is more important than the Middle East?
0:14:48 > 0:14:53It's about how do you evaluate a job? Different people will argue the
0:14:53 > 0:14:57different things. Where a proper independent job evaluations carried
0:14:57 > 0:15:00out as it can be and should be glad that's where you can work out
0:15:00 > 0:15:04whether people are doing the same or like work.What you need is
0:15:04 > 0:15:09transparency. To enforce that. One of the problems with this is there
0:15:09 > 0:15:12is a history of secret handshakes and deals, especially when you have
0:15:12 > 0:15:19staff members and you have so-called talent to work through agents to get
0:15:19 > 0:15:25their fees and to negotiate. We are seeing a shift, unfortunately for
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Carrie Gracie she is probably going to be one of these people that is
0:15:29 > 0:15:34having to take the knocks as Miriam from countries I was before that.It
0:15:34 > 0:15:42is conjugated and difficult about right.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45That's it for The Papers this hour - we'll be back at 11.30.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Thank you Tony and Caroline,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49you'll both be back at half 11 for another look at the stories
