07/01/2018 The Papers

Hello, this is BBC News

with Martine Croxall.

We'll be taking a look at tomorrow

mornings papers in a moment -

first the headlines.

Theresa May defends the government's

record on the NHS, insisting

it was better prepared

for the pressures of winter

than it had been before,

despite hospitals having to postpone

tens of thousands of

non-urgent operations.

We have put extra money

in for coping with winter pressures.

In the Budget in November, we also

announced that for the next couple

of years, there will be further

money going into the National Health

Service.

They haven't got a plan to get

people off colleagues in

corridors.

Those elderly people this freezing

January, being treated in

ambulances.

The Prime Minister is to carry out

a cabinet reshuffle tomorrow

amid reports that several ministers

could be sacked or moved.

All 32 crew from a tanker carrying

Iranian oil tanker are missing off

the east coast of China.

It collided with a cargo

ship and caught fire,

spewing oil into the ocean.

The BBC's China editor is stepping

down from the role ,

citing unequal pay with her male

colleagues.Carrie Gracie says

she will stay with the organisation

in a different position.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow.

With me are parliamentary

journalist, Tony Grew

and the entertainment

journalist, Caroline Frost.

Tomorrow's front pages.

welcome to you both. You should see

what they are wearing on their feet,

not appropriate at all.

Tomorrow's front pages.

Next to a picture of the papers

former editor Peter Preston

the Guardian says the Prime Minister

is set to reassert control

with a cabinet reshuffle.

The Financial Times says that

Britain will push to remain under EU

regulation when it comes

to medicines and pharmaceuticals.

The Telegraph says that BBC is

appointing a no deal Brexit

minister.

The Metro shows an image

of the Prime Minister who was told

in an interview by the journalist

Andrew Marr that, when he had

a stroke in 2013 , NHS delays

would have killed him.

The front page of the I also has

a picture from that interview -

where Theresa May claims she has

listened to the voters.

The Times leads with accusations

that the BBC is accused of breaking

equality law after Carrie Gracie

steps down as the

corporations China Editor.

The Daily Express says that Britain

is in the grip of a killer flu -

the worst outbreak for 50 years.

Shall we start with the reshuffle?

It's going to be tomorrow isn't it?

And Tuesday.

We are told it will be

reshuffled, it will be a huge

surprise is not given the publicity

in advance.

The Daily Telegraph is

saying made to appoint no deal

minister, rather than secretary of

state?

According to the Telegraph

that will be Steve Baker, a leading

Leave campaigner, his number two at

the Brexit department at the moment.

Eurosceptics believe that appointing

a no deal minister will help Britain

when a better deal on Brexit as it

was show the EU Mrs May is serious

about walking away. I think she is

serious about that already and not

appointing a new minister won't

affect what Brussels will think

about the exit or negotiation. But

it gives further reassurance about

appointing MPs on their own benchers

who are concerned that this is all

going to go a bit soft and not

having a weird white

-- red white and blue Brexit but

something different instead.

There's

been all sorts of shades and our

stable of ministers to deal with.

A

stable Brexit. People be watching

the movement in the Cabinet. Theresa

May is a very busy woman, she is

dealing with the health crisis as

well. The big four seems to be

staying put, everyone wonders where

they will go next but she is opting

to keep Boris as well as the

Chancellor, and Amber Rudd and Gavin

Williamson. The focus will be who is

leading the Brexit team.

The

Telegraph under the impression that

the Defence Secretary said big gun

of the Cabinet, he is not.

It's

where he's come from as well. He's

the man with a tarantula as is and

he?

If you have to have a chance to

intimidate, you're not intimidating.

You're right, in a couple of months

ago, there was a lot of chatter

about Boris might be moved into a

Brexit role ie out of the Foreign

Office. It's very clear he is now

staying in the Foreign Office. She

was strong enough to reshuffle the

team but not sack Boris Johnson.

She's not got that much many pieces

to move around? The Guardian says

may is trying to assert control, but

it's seems to be Justine Greening in

education.

And Patrick who has

wanted to stand down after the

disastrous election.

The mooted move

for Jeremy Hunt, if ever, people

will be looking at health. Whoever

takes that Basson on will be jumping

into the deep end of the pool.

But

also Jeremy Hunt has been in post

longer than any Health Secretary I

can remember. Met Theresa May rates

him and wants him in the role of

number two in the government, a

Deputy Prime Minister, coordinating

government. Will she have the

strength or will she think it's a

good time to move Jeremy Hunt? We

will find out tomorrow. Some of this

is about getting someone in an

taking their job, giving them a

worse job than someone doesn't want

to take it and resign. There may

well be some of that.

People feeling

sore and upset. The metro, NHS

delayed would have killed me, Mrs

May. This is Andrew Marr who

survived a stroke some time ago and

apply minister was on his programme

morning.

It's cracking television if

nothing else. Theresa May clearly

got a health crisis, we've see most

damning videos and photographs lying

on hospital and corridor floors.

It's an easy attack by the

opposition, she think she wants to

look at this but she's faced with a

very high-profile presenter with a

very personal and meaningful

anecdotes saying it was life or

death for him if the crisis had

happened now, he may have possibly

not survive. That's a pretty

striking blow to make at the Prime

Minister face to face.

How is that

as a viewer? We are often told you

don't make yourself the story.

The

first one is that the vast majority

of the voters don't expect to see

Andrew Marr on Sunday morning with

the interview with the Prime

Minister, which is why it's

interesting it's resonated onto the

front pages. One leads on what the

PM said in the mast beat. I take

your point, but Theresa May does not

have human reaction. You say your

aunt could have died and she stares

at you impassively. The idea she

will erode back...

What is she

supposed to say other than I'm

terribly sorry? -- she will demote

It's a very difficult line for a

Prime Minister to come back on but

showing some sort of empathy might

at some point be helpful as a piece

of advice. She saying she's

listening to the voters, I'm not

sure I've ever heard a politician

say they weren't.

I disagree Tony, I

think someone like Andrew Marr, we

don't realise how high-profile the

likes of them are, you are in

people's living rooms. People were

affected by Andrew Marr suffering as

he did and him going out and say

that there is a very strong personal

statement. I agree with Tony that

she doesn't demote on demand and she

is a bit similar to the Queen in

that sense, she probably recognises

a stand 100 miles away. She doesn't

still weeping with him on television

is going to be the answer.

Cordial

disagreement, that's what we like.

I've got trainers on. The Daily

Express, Britain in grip of killers

glue.

-- killer flu. I was wondering

whether Metro is still on the

screen. New fears the outbreak could

be worse for 50 years. We have the

strains of flu which can be

epidemics, pandemic.

They can be and

the thing to remember is the most

specific groups of the size you are

vulnerable, some of the headlines of

the writing around this is a bit

apocalyptic interview the bid Daily

Express's readership tends to be

over 60 so this could be a serious

health risk. We get these strains of

flu that come in from time to time,

not being an epidemiologist, not

much more I can say.

The flu jabs

are often different types of flu.

Sometimes the jabs run short.

I

remember once I was in Romania on

holiday, somewhere no one had been,

I found that the only bit of avian

flu to worry about was there. It was

a strange holiday.

The daily Star

has a map. A big red map.

Can I just

borrow that please? It's after nine

o'clock don't need to see a woman

who's forgotten to put her on. There

you go. -- that her vest on. Here's

the map with some of London and

quite a Dorset. Republic of Ireland

doesn't exist! Effective areas

making the point that the whole

country will be affected.

It's

apocalyptic character is presented,

but there are alerts the country, it

is a concern.

And not to shake hands

of people.

Shaking hands has been

axed by hospital.

At one point they

said it's been banned which is

concerning, the handshake brand.

I

think we should all be vigilant

because we touch to stations but

fixing of and

if there's one thing to take this

from deceiving its don't sneeze and

don't touch your face.

Don't wash

your hands all the time. Regularly.

Marketers are floor manager the

night and they always have the

alcohol wipes so we have the table

wipes down -- Mart is our floor

manager. Finishing with the Times,

BBC accused of breaking the law as

star quits over pay. This is my

colleague, friend, China editor

Carrie Gracie, appointed by the BBC,

the first time they had a China

editor in recognition of the

importance of the China story.

Carrie Gracie is fluent in Mandarin.

She says she can't carry on her post

because the pay system is this

territory at the BBC.

It's a big

story, we are sitting on the BBC's

studio talking about is as we

should. She feels she has a strong

case, she wrote a public letter to

the licence payer saying be warned,

the BBC may take on a case it cannot

possibly win. Those are fighting

words the someone coming back to

work within the corporation from

being out in the field. It comes at

a time ever so much attention in all

matters in this. It sits beneath a

photo of the Times movement which is

happening at the movement while

women are fed up of being mistreated

in the film industry, with sexual

harassment and inequality clearly,

this is a huge widening story and

she has leg put as a figurehead.

The

BBC will say and is saying that we

are carrying out reviews, we have

looked at a variety of levels, they

admit to having agenda pay gap of

10% which is a lot less than a lot

of companies. But that compares

average female pay.

It was yesterday

we saw some of the biggest companies

in the country admitting that they

had huge gender gaps, easyJet had

50%. What is happening that as

pilots, many of whom are male, has

played more than cabin crew who are

sometimes telemetry

Women. It is illegal to pay women

less than men. I'm surprised it's

taken until 2018 for the BBC to

realise that and have a review. I'm

not criticising the BBC exclusively

because this is a culture across our

country, across private

corporations, BBC corporations,

across every sector from the law...

It's ingrained, I understand why she

has done this but I think it's also

interesting that the North American

editor is paid more than Jeremie

Boga Middle East editor. So does the

BBC think that the North America is

more important than the Middle East?

It's about how do you evaluate a

job? Different people will argue the

different things. Where a proper

independent job evaluations carried

out as it can be and should be glad

that's where you can work out

whether people are doing the same or

like work.

What you need is

transparency. To enforce that. One

of the problems with this is there

is a history of secret handshakes

and deals, especially when you have

staff members and you have so-called

talent to work through agents to get

their fees and to negotiate. We are

seeing a shift, unfortunately for

Carrie Gracie she is probably going

to be one of these people that is

having to take the knocks as Miriam

from countries I was before that.

It

is conjugated and difficult about

right.

That's it for The Papers this hour -

we'll be back at 11.30.

Thank you Tony and Caroline,

you'll both be back at half 11
