0:00:00 > 0:00:03few images an hour of motivation, nothing will. That is it from this

0:00:03 > 0:00:16Sportsday. Coming up now on BBC News, the Papers.

0:00:20 > 0:00:25-- hello, and welcome to our deadly what papers will be bringing us

0:00:25 > 0:00:33tomorrow. Jenni Russell of the Times and Martin Lipton, deputy head of

0:00:33 > 0:00:41sport at the Sun. Let's look at the front pages. Most on the reshuffle,

0:00:41 > 0:00:44including the Metro. Saying that some cabinet members refused to be

0:00:44 > 0:00:51budged. A different take on the Financial Times, focusing on the new

0:00:51 > 0:00:55minister David Lidington being Europe friendly. The Financial Times

0:00:55 > 0:00:59-- Daily Telegraph also carries that but also the story of a couple from

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Derby who planned a Christmas bombing campaign. The Daily Mail,

0:01:02 > 0:01:07splashing with its own poll saying there is overwhelming public support

0:01:07 > 0:01:12for diverging the foreign aid budget to the NHS to help ease winter

0:01:12 > 0:01:15pressures. Slightly out of sync there, but let's return to the

0:01:15 > 0:01:21reshuffle on the front of the mail. Upon on the daddy of political

0:01:21 > 0:01:30sitcoms. The headline, "No, Prime Minister." And the Times seeing the

0:01:30 > 0:01:36Prime Minister needed to redeem herself of changes at lower

0:01:36 > 0:01:43ministerial levels. Described by one wag as the night of the long plastic

0:01:43 > 0:01:46kitchen knives, quite funny, and I have said it three times tonight.

0:01:46 > 0:01:51But anyway, the Daily Mail, the Prime Minister on a day of

0:01:51 > 0:01:56reshuffling chaos. Theresa May forced to sack the Education

0:01:56 > 0:02:01Secretary after she refuses to move. As the day gone as Theresa May had

0:02:01 > 0:02:07hoped?It would be hard to make that case, wouldn't it. I know the Sun's

0:02:07 > 0:02:23Tanvir this will be on the shuffle -- will be omni-shuffle. -- the

0:02:23 > 0:02:28Sun's title on this. It is remarkable, and although she is in

0:02:28 > 0:02:32charge of the Government, she hasn't said, do what I say, I have a plan.

0:02:32 > 0:02:37She has that they're mostly saying, OK then, do what you like.That is

0:02:37 > 0:02:45because, Martin, that authority Number ten had also been briefing,

0:02:45 > 0:02:49that had come back perhaps in full force, after the Brexit deal, moving

0:02:49 > 0:02:55on to phase two, Brexit backbenchers quiet now, feeling things would be

0:02:55 > 0:03:01improving from now on, that authority still isn't there, is it

0:03:01 > 0:03:01improving from now on, that authority still isn't there, is it?

0:03:01 > 0:03:04This was supposed to be this renewed sense of command and you end up

0:03:04 > 0:03:09going back to the 19s in office but not in power, with no understanding.

0:03:09 > 0:03:18When you have chaos -- going back to the mid-90s. These titles, and these

0:03:18 > 0:03:22are the support of newspapers! Six months after winning an election it

0:03:22 > 0:03:25is bad enough that you have to reshuffle a team that is your

0:03:25 > 0:03:30programme for government, but if you then can't even do that competently,

0:03:30 > 0:03:34it begs questions unfortunately, and a lot of supportive newspapers are

0:03:34 > 0:03:37turning this on to the person who is responsible. She can't blame Nick

0:03:37 > 0:03:42Timothy this time, she can't blame any other advisers. How can you

0:03:42 > 0:03:47spend the weekend briefing about a reshuffle then failed to carry it

0:03:47 > 0:03:53out? It is quite remarkable.But there

0:03:53 > 0:03:57have been significant changes.In terms of titles! The name of the

0:03:57 > 0:04:01department.Yes, Jeremy Hunt with an extra bit on his portfolio, but he

0:04:01 > 0:04:04was already the Secretary of State for social care anyway. But the

0:04:04 > 0:04:10Daily Telegraph, Night of the Blunder Stiletto, alluding to what I

0:04:10 > 0:04:16was saying at the beginning. Jenni, your point.The papers which on the

0:04:16 > 0:04:23whole have really backed Theresa May on what they are sceptical tonight.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27The Sun, the Telegraph, pretty much cheerleaders, and they are saying

0:04:27 > 0:04:31this is feeble, the reshuffle has fallen flat, she has been derailed,

0:04:31 > 0:04:36and I think your point that some of these appointments make sense is all

0:04:36 > 0:04:40a different point, because despite herself has ended up with Jeremy

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Hunt not only staying in health but saying he wants to take social care

0:04:43 > 0:04:52into that brief. That makes a lot of sense, but it was his idea, not

0:04:52 > 0:04:57hers. He said, no, I do not want to go, and run a kind of beef. Prepare

0:04:57 > 0:05:01for a Brexit department, which is how she saw his move the business.

0:05:01 > 0:05:12So saying no, I ain't leaving and I want a bigger...Let's not be quite

0:05:12 > 0:05:17that cynical. He is saying I want to make this work, because the gap

0:05:17 > 0:05:20between social care and the NHS is clogging it up, so we should be

0:05:20 > 0:05:25grateful for that but it is not due to her.Martin, what is the Sun's

0:05:25 > 0:05:29view on this?I think we have been somewhat critical of how it has

0:05:29 > 0:05:34gone. There to see it has not been a great day for the Government. I

0:05:34 > 0:05:37think it is feared she that Sajid Javid's remit has been expanded to

0:05:37 > 0:05:42include housing, that is a really important thing we believe, as a

0:05:42 > 0:05:45paper, for the country and our readers as well and that is the

0:05:45 > 0:05:49biggest positive, from an otherwise rather unimpressive day. The chaos

0:05:49 > 0:05:56just seems to unravel... This briefing, this tweet by Central

0:05:56 > 0:05:59office, about Chris Grayling getting the chairmanship of the party, and

0:05:59 > 0:06:04then he lost his job and 27 seconds, by the sound of things. Whether that

0:06:04 > 0:06:09was a mess up is irrelevant. We are going back to where we were in

0:06:09 > 0:06:13October, when that speech started to fall apart, aren't we?Yes, exactly

0:06:13 > 0:06:16like the moment when she was giving the speaker conference and the

0:06:16 > 0:06:19letters were falling off the platform behind.You make the point

0:06:19 > 0:06:22that all of the right-leaning papers are not particularly impressed with

0:06:22 > 0:06:28what happened today, and the front of the Times, Greening quits in

0:06:28 > 0:06:35shambolic reshuffle, rejecting Prime Minister's job offer. Her position

0:06:35 > 0:06:37was untenable, Justine Greening, when she made it clear she would not

0:06:37 > 0:06:44back an extension of grammar schools, that she had to go.Yes,

0:06:44 > 0:06:54finding her too much of Cameronite. As an public schoolgirl, she riled a

0:06:54 > 0:06:59lot with but still she is a girl educated in a Northern comprehensive

0:06:59 > 0:07:03and for a reshuffle billed as "We will make this cabinet more like the

0:07:03 > 0:07:07country," and off a lot of white men still sitting there tonight.There

0:07:07 > 0:07:12was some change in terms of the Tory Central office, with James Cleverly

0:07:12 > 0:07:17and so on, but they are not front of house.They are not in power.So it

0:07:17 > 0:07:21is all well and good talking it up, but you then have to deliver.

0:07:21 > 0:07:29And it has been no delivery.All right, OK. Sorry, go on.Someone

0:07:29 > 0:07:34from the Cameron government said tonight, has the reverse Midas

0:07:34 > 0:07:38touch, whatever she touches, whether it was the election to give her a

0:07:38 > 0:07:41majority, the conference to relaunch her, or the reshuffle, it just goes

0:07:41 > 0:07:45wrong. I have to see if you can't handle her Cabinet ministers how

0:07:45 > 0:07:49will she handled the Brexit negotiations with 27 obdurate

0:07:49 > 0:07:53European countries? This really doesn't bode well.The reverse Midas

0:07:53 > 0:07:58touch is in fact not having the Midas touch.Exactly.All right,

0:07:58 > 0:08:09let's move on to the Financial Times. Appoints pro-European as for

0:08:09 > 0:08:11fixer in Cabinet. This would seem to be a plus side, some would argue?

0:08:11 > 0:08:15I'm not sure whether the Brexiteers would argue that, actually.

0:08:15 > 0:08:21Lidington is a former Europe Minister, but he was a very strong

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Remainer and he effectively replaces a strong Remainer in Damian Green,

0:08:25 > 0:08:28however there was a lot of talk about it being someone like Dominic

0:08:28 > 0:08:33Raab, who has not appeared at all in today's move, so he will be moved

0:08:33 > 0:08:36one actions in the second phase of this reshuffle, so I think there

0:08:36 > 0:08:40will be criticism again from the Brexit wing of the party.But to be

0:08:40 > 0:08:47fair I think if she is trying to keep a Remain-Leave balance, as

0:08:47 > 0:08:50years, she was replacing top! Damian Green, so it is about not shifting

0:08:50 > 0:08:59the balance in the Cabinet. She was replacing Damian Green.Yes, but it

0:08:59 > 0:09:04is the lack of change. I don't know too much about Lidington in terms of

0:09:04 > 0:09:12how strong a boy she will be. He is going to be there, standing with her

0:09:12 > 0:09:15at Prime Minister's Questions, we are told, but he will not be the

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Deputy First Minister of state in that position will not be felt.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22Shuai converted the bit dangerous to give anyone that rule in case they

0:09:22 > 0:09:27embarrassed to begin -- she may have thought it a bit dangerous. Who

0:09:27 > 0:09:32knows the thinking.Moving on, the Financial Times, human rights probe,

0:09:32 > 0:09:40Jenni, in relation to Carrie Gracie's resignation.Yes, the story

0:09:40 > 0:09:45running all day on the BBC, you're on China editor has found that she

0:09:45 > 0:09:49is being paid much less than the male International editors, and she

0:09:49 > 0:09:52said she doesn't want this to be about wanting more pay, but just

0:09:52 > 0:09:56about equality. And estimate the human rights commission is saying it

0:09:56 > 0:09:59wants clarification from the BBC to make sure they are doing their legal

0:09:59 > 0:10:02duty and making sure women are being treated equally, so the BBC is not

0:10:02 > 0:10:07going to get away with the kind of fudge with which it has pushing its

0:10:07 > 0:10:11women away with.The BBC would say it has had an independent audit and

0:10:11 > 0:10:15there is no systemic problem there, but there you go. We have been

0:10:15 > 0:10:20discussing an all-day, yes, indeed. Yes, but it was discovered that was

0:10:20 > 0:10:26not true.Martin, male fertility, front page of the Telegraph.Write a

0:10:26 > 0:10:31worrying story and a very interesting story. -- this is quite

0:10:31 > 0:10:35a worrying story. If you take the study from a Danish University in

0:10:35 > 0:10:40Copenhagen, from as little as two weeks, men between... Young men in

0:10:40 > 0:10:50their 20s will have a large decline in their fertility to quite a strong

0:10:50 > 0:10:55degree, which is obviously very concerning because people do take

0:10:55 > 0:10:58painkillers fairly regularly. There always is the danger you keep taking

0:10:58 > 0:11:03them, isn't there a? But there is a serious danger here. Men who took

0:11:03 > 0:11:12600 mg every day, three pills, found that a condition called compensated

0:11:12 > 0:11:15hypogonadism, which sounds like something out of a magazine, but

0:11:15 > 0:11:19there you go. Testosterone levels fall to our level which may impact

0:11:19 > 0:11:23fertility. This is a scientific study from Denmark and it will

0:11:23 > 0:11:27concern people, unquestionably.A lot of people who work out find

0:11:27 > 0:11:29themselves taking Agu Provine for muscle pain and three tablets per

0:11:29 > 0:11:33day is not very much, yet it says that 20% drop in testosterone,

0:11:33 > 0:11:38reduced muscle mass, less strength, reduced libido -- find themselves

0:11:38 > 0:11:53taking IB -- ibuprofen for muscle pain.Front page of the Guardian,

0:11:53 > 0:11:57Oprah for president. A year ago I would have said, I'm sorry, no

0:11:57 > 0:12:02experience, that would be a joke. Donald Trump has gotten. No public

0:12:02 > 0:12:11office history. No public service history either. Why not Oprah

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Winfrey?Well, probably for two reasons, firstly she is black, and

0:12:15 > 0:12:19secondly she is female.That has been done, but the female side,

0:12:19 > 0:12:24absolutely. You think that would be lethal?A lot of people think racism

0:12:24 > 0:12:29was the reaction... The reaction against Obama was a big reason why

0:12:29 > 0:12:33Trump got elected, and I think given the field open to Americans, Oprah

0:12:33 > 0:12:38would be a super president. She has charisma, drive, intellect, heart,

0:12:38 > 0:12:42intelligence, good at managing people, a fine functioning brain,

0:12:42 > 0:12:48unlike...She is good on the telly. Yes, she would know how to do the

0:12:48 > 0:12:52speeches, can motivate people. We discovered the last of days that

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Trump's basically acting like a toddler in the White House and has

0:12:56 > 0:12:59declining mental functions so Oprah would look like an intellectual

0:12:59 > 0:13:03management and political giant compared to the current president,

0:13:03 > 0:13:10so I think we can on the hop.Well, Martin, very briefly? -- we can only

0:13:10 > 0:13:15hope.The American system has become increasingly bizarre, a real-life

0:13:15 > 0:13:18version of the Apprentice, hasn't it? Oprah Winfrey has no of the

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Apprentice, hasn't it? Oprah Winfrey has no obvious qualifications but

0:13:21 > 0:13:25that no longer seems to matter. Except potentially more experience

0:13:25 > 0:13:30of activism than Donald Trump ever had?And she has a big social

0:13:30 > 0:13:34conscience.OK, we will leave it there. It has been good to have UN.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38Looking at some of the stories behind the headlines, Martin and

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Jenni, thank you for that. And don't forget you can see all the stories

0:13:41 > 0:13:48online on the BBC News website seven days a week, and you missed the

0:13:48 > 0:13:52programme any evening, it is an iPlayer. Thanks again, Jenni and

0:13:52 > 0:13:56Martin. And thank you for watching. Goodbye --
