08/01/2018 Victoria Derbyshire

Hello, it's Monday, it's 9am,

I'm Victoria Derbyshire.

Welcome to the programme.

Theresa May is set to shake up a top

team after she lost three Cabinet

members at the end of last year. We

are in Downing Street to bring you

all of the latest on the new faces

in the Cabinet.

The read beasts and

the Brexiteers look set to be safe.

But stand by for a clutch of

long-serving middle ranking

ministers to be axed.

Also other

Golden Globe

normal was last night, the first

major awards ceremony since

Hollywood was hit by the sexual

harassment scandals, it was a night

of powerful speeches and a statement

of solidarity.

I want all of the

girls watching here and now to know

that the new day is on the horizon!

We will bring you all of the

highlights. Also we will introduce

you to a remarkable man.

Moin won a Pride of Britain Award

for his work as an ambassador

for his local hospice -

work he does despite having a skin

condition which causes his skin

to tear and blister at the slightest

touch.

It's like false hope, getting that

hope, yes, my mum is going to be

able to have a rest and I'm going to

get it done quickly, and it never

happens so I just stopped believing

in it.

Hello, welcome to the programme.

We're live until 11am this morning.

As we are each weekday morning. We

will bring you the latest news and

sport, also the outcry over the

decision to release the Black Caps

are real rapist John Worboys after

ten years in jail shows no sign of

going away. -- the Black cap serial

rapist. We will talk to London's

victims commissioner and a lawyer

representing some of the many

victims about what they want to

happen now.

Do get in touch on all

the stories we're talking

about this morning.

Our top story today...

Theresa May is expected to make

several changes to her Cabinet team

in the most extensive reshuffle

since she became Prime Minister.

They will include a replacement

for her close ally Damian Green,

who was sacked for breaching

the ministerial code.

Our Assistant Political Editor,

Norman Smith, is at Downing Street.

So, what are we expecting?

Well, I

can tell you in the last few minutes

we are expecting a new chairman of

the Conservative Party to replace

Patrick McLoughlin. Not a huge

surprise given the election setback

which he masterminded. I think it

tells us the story of how this

reshuffle is going to pan out. In

other words, we can expect some of

the longer serving ministers, and

bearing mind, Patrick McLoughlin has

been in government since Mrs

Thatcher, so he is a really

long-serving minister. It is those

sort of ministers who have been

around the block a few times and

haven't quite got the top jobs, in

middle ranking positions, those are

the ones we expect Mrs May to heave

out to create a bit of space to

bring on newer, younger, female MPs

to present a different face and to

inject a bit of new life and energy

into the Cabinet. Significantly,

however, we are not expecting the

big beasts, or the Brexiteers, to be

shunted off. The likes of Boris

Johnson, Philip Hammond, Amber Rudd,

they stay, as it is expected to

David Davis and Liam Fox. Why?

Because, to move any of those people

would involve a major shake-up, and

that creates all sorts of tensions

and potential conflicts, Mr may

simply isn't in that sort of secure

position to do that -- Mrs May.

There is a view that they are on the

tram lines to Brexit and they don't

want any further change to answer

for their approach in this crucial

period for the Brexit negotiations.

Are we expecting promoted MPs to

walk up Downing Street behind you

through the morning, or are those

days gone?

No, we will get those who

have been promoted or shuffled a

little bit, they will get to walk up

Downing Street. What we won't get is

the walk of shame, those who have

been dispatched having to walk up

heads bowed, that won't happen.

Presumably they will be told over

the blower, thanks very much, but

it's over. So we won't get the

vanquished coming up Downing Street.

And I guess, you know, that's

probably maybe our first indication

of who's been promoted. The other

thing to watch is the Downing Street

Twitter feed. Because nowadays, that

tends to be how Downing Street

announced reshuffles. If you want to

be on top of it, that's the Twitter

feed to follow.

Thanks very much. We

will be back with you to watch the

promoted candidates walk up Downing

Street.

Annita McVeigh is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary

of the rest of the day's news.

Good morning.

Many of Hollywood's biggest stars

have used the first major awards

ceremony since a wave of sexual

abuse and harassment

allegations swept the film

and television industry

to show their support for victims.

Almost all those attending

the Golden Globe awards

chose to wear black.

The actor and television presenter

Oprah Winfrey was given a standing

ovation for a speech decrying men

who abuse their power.

Our North America Correspondent,

James Cook, reports.

In Hollywood, they turned

the red carpet black.

This was a show of solidarity

for those who had been

abused and harassed,

and a demonstration

of the determination to change.

From the moment the ceremony

began, its tone was set.

Good evening, ladies

and remaining gentlemen.

LAUGHTER.

And here are the all-male nominees.

Natalie Portman highlighted

the failure of the Golden Globes

to recognise female directors.

And star after star lined up

to give voice to a movement

now known as #TimesUp.

Time is up.

We see you, we hear you,

and we will tell your stories.

Thank you.

APPLAUSE.

It was really great to be

in this room tonight,

and to be part of the tectonic shift

in our industry's power structure.

But no speech was more powerful

than Oprah Winfrey's.

So I want all the girls watching

here now to know that

a new day is on the horizon!

Time and again here on this red

carpet, we've heard the same word -

and that word is change.

The stars who've been walking down

here are insisting that this

is not just a moment,

this is a process -

which they say will continue.

James Cook, BBC News,

at the Golden Globes in Hollywood.

Three women have accused

the Australian actor Craig Mclachlan

of indecent assault during a tour

of the musical

The Rocky Horror Show.

The 52-year-old, best known

for his roles playing a heart-throb

in the long-running TV soap operas

Neighbours and Home and Away,

says the allegations

are "baseless and vicious".

The women say they raised

complaints with the theatre

company at the time,

but no action was taken.

The BBC's China Editor,

Carrie Gracie, has stepped down

from the role in protest

at what she called an "indefensible

pay gap between men and women"

at the Corporation.

In an open letter addressed

to licence-fee payers, Ms Gracie -

who is remaining at the BBC -

accused it of "breaking

equality law".

She says that she doesn't want a pay

rise, but does want to be paid

the same as other international

editors who are men.

A BBC spokesman said

fairness in pay was "vital".

Our Media Editor,

Amol Rajan, reports.

Carrie Gracie is one of the most

respected international

correspondents of her generation.

With over three decades' experience

at the BBC, her latest position

was a high-profile and uniquely

challenging post, responsible

for covering over a billion

people in a superpower

that is repressive

toward journalists.

Yet she is paid less than two

BBC reporters who do

similar jobs and are men.

In an explosive letter

to license fee payers,

she says the BBC has "a secretive

and illegal pay culture

and is not living up

to its stated values of trust,

honesty and accountability."

A big welcome back to Claudia!

Last summer, the corporation

was forced to disclose salaries

of some on-air staff

paid over £150,000.

It revealed a gender pay gap.

Not only are men generally

being paid more, but the appearance

that some women were being paid less

for doing equivalent work.

The BBC has embarked on not

one but three audits

of pay across staff.

It says it has gone much further

than most organisations on equality,

and is determined to do more.

But this is a moment of high danger

for the Corporation.

With over 200 female staff

complaining formally about equal

pay, there is a danger of legal

action being brought

and the public broadcaster's

reputation being tarnished.

Rail commuters are facing disruption

today as staff at five train firms

begin a fresh wave of strikes

in disputes about

the role of guards.

The union involved, the RMT,

has urged Ministers to convene

a meeting with the train companies

to try to reach a deal.

The firms say the union is showing

its disregard for passengers.

An accountancy firm advising

the Grenfell inquiry has quit

amid concerns over a conflict

of interest.

KPMG, which audits three

of the firms being investigated,

also works with the Royal Borough

of Kensington and Chelsea,

where the tower is located.

The firm said it had

"mutually agreed" to step

down from the inquiry.

A ten-year study has found women

are three times more likely to die

in the year following a heart attack

than men because they're not

given the same treatment.

Analysis of more than 180,000

patients over a decade

by Leeds University researchers

found women were less likely

to receive recommended treatments

including bypass surgery or statins.

When they did, the gap in mortality

decreased dramatically.

New measures to tackle the sale

of unsafe laser pens which can cause

blindness have been announced

by the Government.

It comes after an increase

in incidents targeting

pilots and train drivers.

The new powers would include better

labelling, as Daniela Relph reports.

And increased checks at Borders to

ensure that the devices do not enter

the country in the first place.

There are growing fears of an

environmental disaster in the East

China Sea after a tanker continues

to leak oil two days after colliding

with a cargo ship. The Iranian

vassal was carrying oil to South

Korea, and it is still on fire.

Rescue efforts are being hampered by

a large oil slick and dense clouds

of smoke. 32 Iranian crew

members are still missing. Some

pharmacists working for Boots claim

understaffing could put patients at

risk. Several current pharmacists

told the BBC's Inside Out programme

that staff are under too much

pressure and feel that mistakes will

be made. One resigned in 2015 after

he took his concerns to the

independent industry regulator. The

chain responded by saying its

pharmacies are not understaffed and

it has an industry-leading patient

safety record.

That's a summary of

the latest BBC News.

And no surprises that England

lost again in the Ashes.

But captain Joe Root had everyone

guessing about whether or not

he would play on the final day?

Yes, you are right, Victoria. He was

in hospital in the early hours of

this morning, suffering from a tummy

bug which meant that he was severely

dehydrated. He was able to regime

his innings, just about, but have to

retire after lunch on 58 -- resume

his innings. He did struggle, Joe

Root, and England were beaten again,

losing the fifth and final test in

Sydney by an innings and 123 runs.

Joe Root did make a half-century,

but England's tale wilted in the

scorching heat of the Sydney Cricket

Ground, all out for 180, losing the

Ashes Series 4-0, and they still

haven't won a test -- a Test in

Australia.

A big shock in the FA Cup -

holders Arsenal are out.

What went wrong for them?

In short, bad defending. Arsene

Wenger took a gamble and made a lot

of changes to his team, and it just

didn't pay off. The holders Arsenal

are out, beaten 4-2 by Nottingham

Forest at the city ground. The

Forest defender scored the best goal

of the game, making it 2-1 to the

hosts. The Championship side secured

all three points through keirin

Doull from the penalty spot, their

second of the game. A valuable win

for Forest, who only last week that

their manager. It is the first time

and Arsene Wenger that Arsenal will

not be in the fourth round draw,

which is live on BBC Two from about

7pm.

And we will see Video Assistant

Refereeing used for the first time

in club competitions in England

tonight, how will that work?

Yes, an interesting one. It is

widely used in other sports like

rugby and cricket and will now be

used in football in England for the

first time in a competitive club

match. It will be used for

potentially matched changing

decisions. Referees will have the

power to stop the game, consult

video replays with helps of getting

decisions right. The FA Cup third

round between Brighton and Crystal

Palace tonight will use the year

technology. Referees boss Mark

Reilly said the technology will

never be 100% perfect, but if

through this we make that 4% 2% then

we have benefited the game,

Victoria.

Thanks, Jess. More

throughout the morning. Good

morning, thank you for joining us.

"It must have reawakened the most

appalling memories" -

the words of the Justice Secretary,

David Liddington, who is expected

to make a statement to MPs today

over the decision to release

the black cab rapist John Worboys.

Mr Liddington is expected to make a

statement to MPs today over the

move.

The former taxi driver,

who is suspected of attacking more

than 100 women in his London cab,

has served ten years

in jail after being convicted of 19

offences against 12 women.

Now 60, Worboys is due to be

released from jail later this month.

A parole board approved his release,

saying they were "confident"

he won't reoffend.

But major questions have been raised

after many of his victims say

they weren't consulted

in the decision, or even told

that he would be freed.

Let's talk now to Claire Waxman.

She's London's first

Victims Commissioner,

and works to improve

the experience of victims of crime.

Kim Harrison is from Slater

and Gordon lawyers in Salford,

representing 11 of Warboys victims.

She says many are "absolutely

terrified" by the prospect

of his release later this month.

Kim Harrison, the Justice Secretary

is making a statement

in the Commons today.

What do your clients

who are victims of Worboys,

want to hear from him?

Well, first of all they want an

apology. Because they were not told.

I've not managed to speak to anybody

yet he was told about his impending

release who was consulted in anyway

about his impending release. They

want to ensure that the law is

changed to allow victims of crime to

have greater input into the parole

board system when considering

release of high-profile offenders

such as John Worboys, and also

greater transparency within that

parole board system.

What have your clients said to you

about his imminent release?

They're

absolutely shocked, appalled,

terrified. Many found out through

social media or through media. I've

not yet managed to speak to anybody

who found out via any official

channel and so they just can't

believe it. They were told, many of

them, were told by the CPS that

their cases were not going to be

prosecuted because this man was

going to be locked up for a very

long period of time and I don't

think many people would think eight

years is a long period of time for

the sorts of offences that he was

convicted of and alleged to have

committed.

Why do you say, why do

the victims say, they have a right

to know the reasons why the

independent Parole Board have

decided to release him?

I think

there is great scepticism from my

clients and also from members of the

public in general as to whether this

man really is reformed character and

a changed individual. We pursued

successful civil claims against John

Worboys which concluded in 2013 and

as late as 2013, he was still

denying his guilt. He was denying

his guilt within the context of

those civil proceedings even in

respect of crimes for which he had

been convicted so what has changed

so drastically? We have concerns

that he is a manipulative man. He

may have manipulated the Parole

Board and the powers that be into

convincing that he is safe to be

released and what has changed? Has

he admitted his guilt or not? If he

has admitted guilt, he has admitted

a modus operandi, the drugging of

those women and then potentially

sexual assault and or rape of women

and we know the police believe he

committed a large number of offences

for which he has never been, any

prosecutions have been brought. So

the CPS need to urgently look again

at those files, urgently get the

files out and look at the

prosecutions and make a decision

urgently as to whether or not they

are going to bring them forward.

Let

me bring in Clare Waxman, do you

agree the Justice Secretary when he

stands up in the Commons today, owes

the victims an apology?

I think he

does. We have got a loophole because

the victims that were involved in

the original prosecution will have

been referred to probation, to the

Victim Contact Scheme. So they would

have been notified that he was

coming up for parole and should have

been allowed it make representations

and make a victim personal

statement. So that would have gone

to the Parole Board and waiting for

London probation to confirm that has

happened. We are looking at because

there are a number of victims where

prosecution didn't proceed so

unfortunately, they didn't have the

rights and entitlements to be

involved in the Parole Board process

and they are the ones missing out.

So that's a real legal loophole.

Right. He has been released in part,

because Parole Board officials are

convinced he no longer poses a

threat to women. They have looked at

all the documentation. They have

taken oral evidence. They are

independent. They are serious minded

individuals on this public body. Why

is their decision not good enough?

It is not that their decision isn't

good enough, there needs to be

transparency around this decision.

There is a critical point of a

victim's journey, the release of the

offender and victims have a right to

understand how the Parole Board has

reached that decision. There needs

to be more transparency and more

communication to the victim. The

victim needs to be reassured that

they will be safe upon his release.

It is a frightening time. So we have

transparency, well we hope to have

transparency along the process from

the police investigation into

courts, around the court process and

sentencing, we need to have

transparency around this part as

well.

That would require a change in

the law as I understand it. So, that

is not the responsibility of the

Parole Board. That's down to

politicians?

That's down to

politicians. That's something that

politicians, campaigners, victims

voices can persuade to change

because I think there needs to be a

review with the way the Parole Board

works in the way it involves

victims.

David Lidington promised

that. But are you calling for a

Haining of change in the law to

allow transparency around these

decisions

Yes, absolutely. I think

victims have a right to understand

how the Parole Board have reached

that decision.

How much confidence

do you have as a representative of

victims of crime in the Parole

Board?

Well, when the decisions

aren't transparent it is hard to

have the confidence. If they explain

their decision that would actually

help. It is difficult to feel

confident in, especially in this

particular case. He has satisfied

the Parole Board that he is safe to

come back into society be in under

stringent conditions, but we are

talking about someone where,

although we are only looking at 19

offences, there were alleged many

other offences and there we have to

look at other failings in other

parts of the system from the

policing and the CPS and even

sentencing as well.

What message do

you think it sends that ten years is

all it takes for him to have paid

his debt to society?

I, again

sentencing has changed since then

and sentencing is longer and legal

guidance has changed since then.

Back in this, when this case

happened, if it wasn't in the public

interest, it wasn't going to change

the length of the sentence, that's

why those certain victims couldn't

go forward with their case since the

Jane Cluf change we have changed

legal guidance and the Clufs'

campaigned for that change, victims

should have the right to proceed

with their case because securing a

conviction is and having their day

in court is far better for them than

not to go through it.

A final

thought from your, from the work

you've done over the years, what do

you think the after care is like for

women who have been the victims of

sexual assault and violence?

It is

not just the after care, it is the

continued care through the process.

The Government keeps making funding

cuts to policing and probation. That

is going to affect the services that

victims receive and that's something

that we seriously need to consider.

It is all very well talking and

apologising, yesterday, Theresa May,

but it's lip service, we need to go

further and fund a proper justice

service to fund victims the whole

way through that journey so they can

hope and recover.

Clare Waxman who

is London's first victims'

commissioner and Clare Harrison from

Slater and Gordon lawyers. They

represent 11 of John Worboys

Worboys' victims. When the Justice

Secretary stands up in the Commons

this afternoon, you will be able to

watch what he says on BBC News.

Last year was, by any

measure, a pretty terrible

one for Theresa May.

Before the general election

that she didn't need to call,

the Conservatives looked

all-powerful.

She ended up losing her

majority and had to do

a deal with the Northern

Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party,

a small party of ten MPs,

just to stay in power.

And towards the end of the year,

she lost three Cabinet ministers

in a matter of weeks.

So, it's with her authority weakened

that the Prime Minister

is this morning looking

to change her top team.

There are calls for her to bring

in a new generation

of Conservative ministers.

Let's talk about how much

scope Theresa May has

to freshen up her team,

and whether she can start

2018 on the front foot.

Anoosh Chakelian is a senior writer

at the Labour-supporting

New Statesman magazine.

And Kevin Schofield is editor

of the website Politics Home.

Thank you very much for coming on

the programme.

Changes in who sit around

the Cabinet table are of limited

interest to those outside

Westminster, so it's your job

to explain to our audience why

they should care about this

Cabinet reshuffle.

Well, first of all, we can see what

position Theresa May is in by the

decisions that she makes. So we know

she won't change any of the real big

roles, the Home Secretary, Boris

Johnson, and David Davis and Liam

Fox and Philip Hammond. She would

like to sack some of those

ministers.

Who would she like?

Philip Hammond. That was something

she was briefing before the

disastrous election result for the

Tories that put her in a position

that meant she couldn't do that. He

is a little bit more apprehensive

about the path for Brexit that she

wants to take than some of her

backbenchers who are making things

difficult for her and Boris Johnson

has caused her no end of suffering

since he was put in the Foreign

Office and she can't move any of

those ministers who she finds

difficult. So she is opting to

choose to get rid of maybe the

Education Secretary, just teen

Greening who wouldn't be as

politically contentious a move, but

that could be problematic for her

because just teen Greening supported

Remainor and to put a Remainor on

the backbenches could be difficult.

What about the balance between

Remainers and Brexiteers in the

Cabinet

It is a hung parliament. It

is a finally balanced Parliament and

it has to be a finely balanced

Cabinet and you're right, so if she

loses or gets rid of a Remainer,

basically, they have to be replaced

by a Remainer. It is a real juggling

act that the Prime Minister has got.

It is not a straightforward case of

well, I don't like his or her face

anymore, get them out and get

someone else in. There is a number

of factors at play and the thing

about reshuffles they can easily go

badly wrong. Even if you're a

powerful Prime Minister, like Tony

Blair, he had several reshuffles

where they didn't go according to

plan and it can become chaotic, one

thing we learned under Theresa May,

the likelihood is that things can go

wrong. There is no guarantee it will

be plain sailing.

There will be

people thinking who is this

reshuffle for?

They have been

briefing it will, you know, a bold

reshuffle. She hasn't done this big

kind of shake-up before, but it's

not bold if she is not changing the

top positions. Who really is looking

at the junior ranks of the front

bench? Only people like us as you

said. The hope is for her and her

party is that if she does bring some

younger MPs, maybe those of ethnic

minority backgrounds and more women

into the junior positions, then they

will rise up and the party will

start to look different in a few

years' time, but Theresa May won't

be in charge by then.

Most of the

Cabinet went to private school and

then on to Oxford or Cambridge. How

much of a problem is that for

someone like Theresa May?

If you

think back to the speech she gave

when she became Prime Minister, she

talked about the just about

managing...

Mental health problems,

women, black people.

If you've got a

Cabinet, that's stuffed full of

people from privileged backgrounds,

male, middle-aged, white, it just

doesn't look good. The optics are

bad. I think she has to have a

Cabinet that more reflects more

accurately the country as it is

rather than maybe how Conservatives

would like it to be.

And that's why it is ironic that she

is looking to move just teen

Greening who is the first Education

Secretary to have been educated at a

comprehensive school and she is also

the first openly gay woman to serve

in Cabinet.

We are 100% certain that

Patrick McLoughlin, a former miner

actually which makes him unusual, he

is going to get the sack. So she has

to replace him with someone from a

working class background. The old

traditional Thatcherite working

class, blue collar Conservatism.

She

made them able to buy their own

council house.

The Tory Party has

got a real image problem. There is

figuring out, they have only got

70,000 members. They are

haemorrhaging support, but maybe not

support, but in terms of the

membership is ageing, they haven't

got the foot soldiers. So she needs

to send out a message to the country

we are on your side, but not only

that, we look like you do, we have

the same aspirations and the Tories

are on the back foot and the

reshuffle is about trying to get

them on the front foot.

Voters care

more about seeing the NHS crumble in

parts of the country, despite the

extra money the Government has put

in or their rail fares have gone up

or they can't afford to buy a house.

How much closer, if at all, is

Theresa May in delivering the things

that she has promised when it comes

to housing for example?

Well, I

think that will be particularly

difficult for her in terms of the

reshuffle to show she cares about

housing, about the NHS and about

education. If you look at the people

who are tipped for promotion, Jeremy

Hunt, the Health Secretary, how can

she reward people who have overseen

the public service crisises? And

Chris Grayling, the Transport

Secretary, is another example of

someone who she wants to promote. He

ran her campaign when she was

running for the leadership of the

Tory Party. How can she promote

someone who has overseen the crisis

in rail and we saw the fares going

up at the beginning of the year?

People will be thinking how do these

people get promoted and I don't have

much money?

Is it real all about

Brexit?

I think it is. I go back to

what I say about having a finely

balanced Cabinet between Brexit and

Remainers. The elephant in the room

for the next 12 months is Brexit.

Thank you very much for coming in.

Thank you.

Still to come:

Ex-football coach

Barry Bennell is due in court

in Liverpool today facing historic

sex abuse charges.

We'll speak to our Sports

Correspondent, Andy Swiss.

Speeches about Hollywood's sexual

abuse scandal dominated last night's

Golden Globe Awards.

We will have the highlights for you.

Annita McVeigh is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary

of the rest of the day's news.

Good morning.

Theresa May is expected to make

several changes to her Cabinet in

the most extensive reshuffle since

she became Prime Minister. These

will include naming a replacement

for Damian Green, who was in effect

Deputy Prime Minister before he was

dismissed for breaching ministerial

code. Changes to the more major

roles will be appointed first, and

that junior roles will be announced

tomorrow.

Many of Hollywood's biggest stars

have used the first major awards

ceremony since a wave of sexual

abuse and harassment

allegations swept the film

and television industry

to show their support for victims.

Almost all those attending

the Golden Globe awards

chose to wear black.

It was a politically charged

evening. Several celebrities brought

activists on racial equality and

gender equality as their guests.

The actor and television presenter

Oprah Winfrey was given a standing

ovation for a speech decrying men

who abuse their power.

Three women have accused

the Australian actor Craig McLachlan

of indecent assault during a tour

of the musical

The Rocky Horror Show.

The 52-year-old, best known

for his roles playing

a heart-throb in the long-running TV

soap operas Neighbours and Home

and Away, says the allegations

are "baseless and vicious".

The women say they raised

complaints with the theatre

company at the time,

but no action was taken.

The BBC's China Editor,

Carrie Gracie, has stepped down

from the role in protest

at what she called an "indefensible

pay gap between men and women"

at the Corporation.

In an open letter addressed

to licence-fee payers, Ms Gracie -

who is remaining at the BBC -

accused it of "breaking

equality law".

Because of the discrepancy between

her pay and that of her fellow

international editors, who are men.

A BBC spokesman said

fairness in pay was "vital".

An accountancy firm advising

the Grenfell inquiry has quit

amid concerns over a conflict

of interest.

KPMG, which audits three

of the firms being investigated,

also works with the Royal Borough

of Kensington and Chelsea,

where the tower is located.

The firm said it had

"mutually agreed" to step

down from the inquiry.

There are growing fears

of an environmental disaster

and it is still on fire.

Rescue efforts are being hampered

by a large oil slick

A former football coach,

Barry Bennell, begins trial

at Liverpool Crown Court today

where he faces 55 charges

of historic sexual abuse

involving 12 boys.

Our Sports Correspondent,

Andy Swiss, is outside the court.

Tell us in more detail what he is

accused of?

Well, Victoria, the

first thing to say is that Barry

Bennell is standing trial here under

a different name. Since his coaching

days he has changed his name to

Richard Jones, that is how he will

be referred to during this trial.

Barry Bennell is 63 years old, a

former football coach, a former

youth coach with Crewe Alexandra. He

worked with a number of other clubs

across the north-west of England,

including Stoke city and went as the

city. He's been charged with a total

of 50 for sexual offences, 41 counts

of indecent assault, 11 counts of

Syria sexual assault, two counts of

attempted the charges relate to 12

different complainants -- serious

sexual assault. They were between

the ages of eight and 15 at the time

of the alleged offences, which it is

claimed took place between 1979 and

1991. Barry Bennell has pleaded not

guilty to all of the charges at

previous hearings where he appeared

via a video link. In this case, this

trial is expected to last for up to

eight weeks.

Thank you. Andy Swiss

Next, Moin Younis is an 18-year-old

from Birmingham who won the Daily

Mirror Pride of Britain Award last

November for working with his local

hospice as an ambassador to support

children with life limiting

conditions. He does this

inspirational work despite having a

rare skin disorder. It causes his

skin to care and blister at the

slightest touch. The NHS estimates

that 5000 people have it in the UK.

Moin's form of the condition

is so severe that doctors

said he wouldn't make it

past his first birthday.

Every morning he goes

through an excruciating skin care

routine that can last up

to six hours.

To give us a rare insight

into Moin's treatment,

our reporter Ashley John-Baptiste

went to meet him.

His film report contains sensitive

images that might be upsetting.

When they told us the results,

we were gobsmacked.

We never knew what was it,

we had Moin in our hand,

we just started crying

when they told us that he's

not going to make it

to his first birthday.

He's made it to 18.

Like 14, 15, 16, I took

it out of my head.

I said, "You know what?

I'm not even going to

think about it now."

It's like, when I was younger,

my mum and dad always told me,

"You'll get better one day,"

and I always believed it.

Then I hit 15 and I said, "I'm old

enough to understand things now."

Here he is.

Hello, Moin, how are you doing?

I'm OK, thanks.

I like you when you do that fake...

What face do I do?

That serious one where you pretend

you're interested in something

but really you just want to get

out of three!

Moin Younis, an 18-year-old

lad who lives with his

parents in Birmingham.

He's also a massive Aston Villa fan.

You've got the TV voice.

I've got the TV voice?!

I need to get the TV voice myself.

You've got a great TV voice.

He has a rare skin disorder known

as epidermolysis bullosa, that

causes his skin to tear and blister

at the slightest touch.

The NHS estimates that 5000

people have it in the UK.

Want to see something cool?

Yeah, go on.

It's a Jacuzzi bath.

Wow!

At just two months old,

Moin was diagnosed with the most

severe of the three forms of EB.

Doctors said he wouldn't make it

past his first birthday.

You're in the bath so that you can

take the old bandages off?

Yeah.

And how long are

you in the bath for?

About an hour and a half.

Every day?

Yeah, every day.

Are you comfortable right now?

No.

I'm all right when I'm talking.

Every morning, Moin's mum Shafia

helps him to remove bandages before

applying a fresh set.

I'm just getting all the packs

ready for arms, legs.

These are the body parts

that need dressing?

That's all the body parts.

A-Z, actually.

There's currently no cure

for Moin's condition.

His treatment only aims to relieve

pain and prevent infection.

How long is the whole process?

Six hours every day.

Six hours every day,

seven days a week.

I've been doing it for 18 years.

I get tired.

See the way Ashley went,

"Six hours every day, wow!"

He already knew that, guys.

He was just pretending.

Oh, did he know that?

Last November, Moin won a Pride

of Britain award for his work

with a local charity,

where he advised them on how to

improve their services for children

with life-limiting conditions.

Coming off the stage,

and that evening was just such a...

Meeting all these people,

it was such a great evening.

The next day I got up and realised,

it's not going to take this away.

Like, I'll still have to do this

everyday, no matter what.

I do get fed up, the truth is,

no lie, I do get tired and fed up.

We do have a lot of arguments,

me and Moin, that's just...

I'm just, you know, I'm just tired.

How do you feel, the fact

that he's lived so long?

We're so happy, hey, Moin?

Well, Moin goes he's not happy,

but we parents, we're

happy he's lived to 18.

Did you ever think back then

that he would live...

No, we never...

..this long?

We actually thought he wasn't going

to make it to his first birthday.

We'd been told that.

The doctors told us that he's

not going to make it

to his first birthday.

Do you have any hopeful

expectations for your son?

Yeah, I think he'll

grow up like a man.

You think he'll grow up as a man?

Yeah, might get married, Moin.

Might get married, yeah!

You never know.

I see a lot of EB patients

who've got families,

they're married and got families.

You can't say that.

Who would want to marry

someone like this?

Oh, don't say that, pal.

No, how do you know, Moin?

It's the truth.

You're his mum, you're

seeing your son suffer so much.

What is it like for you having

to do that every morning?

I don't know how I do it.

The truth is, I don't know

how my body does it.

I want to give up, you know,

then I'm thinking, when I go to bed

I think, "Forget it,

I'm not going to do it, that's it."

But then I just get up and do it,

because he's my child.

How does this feel right now, Moin?

It hurts, a lot.

Moin didn't want us to film his back

during his skin care,

but he did allow me to have a look.

There was no skin, just raw,

decaying flesh, blisters and wounds.

As he grows, his condition gets

worse as his skin stretches.

Now put them out.

HE CRIES IN PAIN.

When he was a baby,

it was easy to do.

It was only about one

and a half hours.

As he's growing more,

more blisters, more wounds.

HE WINCES.

By the time Moin's treatment

is finished, it's around

3pm in the afternoon.

Shall we do another spud?

It's terrible, you're terrible.

You're so bad at Fifa...

Mate, you love it,

what are you talking about?!

You're so bad at Fifa, it's unreal.

I'm so bad at Fifa!

We're not putting that in the film.

Just tell me how the skincare's

been for you today?

So much pain, I can't move anything.

Are there points in the day where

the pain's a bit more bearable?

Yeah, that will usually

be around 5pm or 6pm,

and then if it's bearable

and if it's to the point

where I can move and drive

and go out, then I will.

Moin's health care is commissioned

by his local NHS Trust,

Sandwell and West Birmingham,

under their continuing

health care package.

Although they say that Moin

is entitled to carers on a daily

basis to help with his skincare,

Shafia says she only get

a carer sporadically,

and often has to carry out

the treatment by herself.

I don't feel like I'm his mother,

I feel like I'm his carer.

That's why I told the social worker,

I go, "I want to be his

mother, not a carer."

It's like false hope,

getting that hope, "Yes,

we're going to have two carers,

my mum's going to be able

to have a rest and I'm going to be

done quicker," and then it never

happens, so I've just

stopped believing in it.

Mostly I worried that if I go ill,

who's going to look after him?

I worry about that a lot.

If I have a breakdown,

if my back goes, who's

going to look after him?

And I know nobody's

going to look after him.

Because nobody doesn't,

actually, the truth is.

It's only me who looks

after him, and his dad.

His dad's got to work.

You've got to survive as well.

See, I say it's hard to get up

in the morning, and I say it's

hard to do my skincare,

but in my mum's perspective,

she has to get up, too.

People say I'm her son

and she has to do it,

but, no, she doesn't.

You know?

My mum used to be

a fit, healthy woman.

She used to work, she

used to love her job,

she was going to become a nurse,

she did everything.

Then I was born, so I haven't just

ruined my life, I've ruined hers.

You haven't ruined her life.

When a lot of people saw

you at Pride of Britain, you just

seemed to have a bit more optimism?

People say to me, "Oh,

but you met David Beckham,

I'd want to be you if I met David

Beckham."

And they really don't

understand what it is.

Then people say to me, "No,

you have a job on this world,

to inspire everyone."

I will do that as much as I can,

but the thing is, it's hard

to inspire everyone else

when I don't feel I've got that,

I don't feel I've got

anyone to inspire me.

Like, I see so many people out

there take life for granted,

and I just think to myself,

"I would be you any day, mate.

If you want to swap

lives, let's do it."

I just want people to live life.

Whilst there is still no cure

for epidermolysis bullosa,

a young boy in Germany who had

a severe form of the condition

was recently given new skin

through a pioneering genetic

skin modification treatment.

It's still undergoing

formal clinical trials,

but Moin anticipates it's something

he could benefit from in the future.

It's looking well, we've been

to the hospital and the professor

who did this treatment,

he's interested, and

he does know about me.

And are you hopeful

that that treatment...?

No, it's too good to be true,

the way they're talking

about it and stuff, it's...

But, for now, it's just hope.

Here to give us a more clinical

insight into the condition

and the potential of future

treatment we have

Dr Adrian Heagerty.

He is a Consultant Dermatologist

and leads the adult

Epidermolysis Bullosa service

in the Midlands

and North of England.

Moin Younis is also

a patient of his.

Can you explain it?

We will

abbreviate to EB because it is less

of a mouthful. The sort that Moin he

has an abnormality of the glue this

the skin so the skin doesn't stick

properly and he has inherited that

from his parents and so at the

slightest touch the, the skin will

lift off. He will heal afterwards,

but he does blister with his skin

just by just trauma of minor, minor

degree.

What do you think about the

way he in particular goes about his

life with such a debilitating

condition?

Increasingly he is

actually coping interestingly. We

notice that with all our EB patients

there is a tremendous amount of

baggage, having survived through

childhood with such pain and all

this huge amount of care required to

look after the skin, people become

introverted and can't cope. So we

found that employing a psychologist

has helped to get him through that

and improve his outlook on life and

give him meaning and I think we

suddenly start to see that with Moin

which is really exciting, but we

haven't got his skin sorted and it

is a battle.

What his future

long-term?

Well, he will tell me his

life is a lethal condition. The

investigations and actually, what

has actually happened with him has

shown that he has a better

prognosis. We can't say for sure,

but we would like to think that we

can extend this to the sort of level

that we see in other patients with

this condition and we have patients

with a similar sort of condition who

are in their 30s now, but we have to

get on top of all the problems and

side-effects associated with this

condition. So it's pretty rough for

them.

What is the future when it

comes to potentially new and more

effective treatments?

Well, there is

a lot of work going on around the

world from bone marrow

transplantation which has been

pioneered in America to mikical la's

study which he has been working on

for ten or 12 years and that's hit

the news recently with a case with a

child very similar to Moin, but he

was much, much younger and he was

very much an extremist and the idea

of correcting the gene has always

been at the back of our minds. We

try, whenever possible, if we know

of families that at risk of having

an infected baby to help in dig know

suss and pre-implantation diagnosis

so we can take the egg and sperm and

take a few cells of the fertilised

egg and show whether or not the

child is going to be affected or we

can demonstrate in the womb as well.

So you can give families choices.

You nen terms of a choice of

terminating?

You have to say that,

yes, but we don't apply our

judgment. It's the patient and the

family's decision, but we can give

choices and that helps to a certain

extent. One of the big problems we

see is a lot of this condition is

associated with marrying first

cousins and that means if there is a

gene in the family it will come

together with a member of the family

so the two genes produce a severe

disease such as Moin here. The

mikical la thing is exciting. It is

not a cure, but it is a way of

treating his skin and we can take,

we have...

Treating it in what way?

What we are planning on doing, we've

submitted his name to a forthcoming

trial based in Salzburg and I have

been in touch with the clinician

over there and I have written to

mikical la as well to see if we can

include him. What they do is take a

piece of his skin and they can put

in the corrected gene into the skin

and grow it up into huge, huge

sheets and then take the skin that's

paling off, off and creating a clean

bed and sticking it on, it seems to

take and grow and the case that was

reported is two years down the line

now and the child has intact skin

and is able to play football and is

up and about. So it's really quite

exciting.

That's incredible?

Yes, it

really is. We dismissed a little bit

of this technology, but he has stuck

with it and he has shown that it

works and it is enduring which is

very, very important. So we're very

excited for this approach so we,

there are four centres of EB in the

country and we have all got our key

patients, Moin is mine and we were

discussing this last week and I'm

going send him and see if we can get

him included in the trial. So we are

exciting opportunity, but that has

to be taken in the context of having

a very widespread multidisciplinary

approach to his care so pain

control, orthopaedic care, foot

care, nutrition, so he is doing

extremely well and he has a mosstive

approach now and people have a

positive approach, always do well,

we keep pushing for that.

Let me

read messages from people who

watched our film. Lisa Williams

says, "My son has a life limiting

condition also. I identify with

Moin's mum particularly her worries

about her health and available care.

I'm sending love to the family."

Susan Phillips says "What a brave

boy. : " Mike says, "Remarkable

young man and mum. Your report had

me in tears." Simon Harris says,

"What an inspiration he is, thank

you. If only I had half of his

drive." And another viewer says,

"This piece on this young boy with

this rare illness is the most

difficult watch I've ever had. What

a brave young man." Now, Moin is

apparently, we're told, entitled to

a daily carer. It's not happening. I

wonder, I know this is not your

area, but how do you think his needs

have ended up slipping through the

net?

He does get a daily carer, but

the problem is really that his care

is very difficult and Moin has had a

lot of pain. So it's getting the

sensitive interaction between Moin

and the carers. His mother, who is

very good at doing the dressings has

stepped into the breach, but there

have been issues, but I hope they're

going to be sorted fairly soon, but

he has funding and he does have

daily carers to come in.

Thank you

very much for telling us more about

this. Thank you. I really appreciate

it.

Thank you.

Theresa May is expected to replace a

man called Patrick McLaughlin with a

new Conservative Party chairman when

she reshuffles her top team later.

We will bring you the latest from

Norman Smith who is at Downing

Street.

A campaign by Hollywood stars

against sexual harassment

and assault has dominated the annual

Golden Globes film

and television awards.

It was the first big TV award

ceremony since allegations against

Harvey Weinstein.

Our correspondent Chi Chi

Izundu joins us now.

Many people wore black, why?

The

cast, crew, writers, directors, that

black was symbolic. Symbolic is a

way to show that actually they were

no longer going to tolerate sexual

harassment within the workplace and

they want to make this statement,

particularly not just about the

entertainment industry, we have done

it many times on this programme.

Sexual harassment is rife throughout

life. So, a number of leading

actresses and actors as we can see,

wore black to make their point, but

I guess, the most touching, moving

part of the Golden Globe Awards was

the speech by Oprah Winfrey. Oprah

Winfrey has documented her sexual

harassment throughout her career and

at the early stage of her life in

particular and she used her award,

she won an award. She used that

platform to make an incredibly power

speech that brought a lot of tears

to a lot of people and we can take a

look now.

So I want all the girls watching

here and now to know that a new day

is on the horizon.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So there was a Lifetime Achievement

Award. We are only allowed to show

short clips, but the transcript is

online, on social media. It was

rousing, wasn't it?

It was rousing.

She starts by talking about sit on

the floor with her mum watching TV

and seeing Sydney and goes on to

talk...

To see him go on stage to

accept an award. As a little black

girl to see a black man in a white

tie winning an award had such an

impact on her?

Then she goes on to

talk about a young woman that made,

that changed civil rights activism

in America, when she was gang raped

by a number of white men and she

said that that woman died a few days

ago and in her 98th birthday, but

she lived to see the changes that

were coming forth and that were

going through. She also talked about

the fact that she didn't want the

next generation of women to not have

a voice. Her generation of women

haven't had a voice. Writers and

directors, a lot of Hollywood have

started a campaign called Time's Up,

it was a full page spread in the New

York Times last week and it is a

campaign to give people that want to

have a voice, the ability to have a

voice. They are raising money. About

$13 million has been raised, not

just for people in the entertainment

industry, they are focussing on

industries where women can't afford

to defend themselves if they bring a

case against somebody that they feel

has been sexually harassing them.

So

apart from Oprah winning the

Lifetime Achievement Award. Who won

what?

This is a twist of many

things. It is a comedy and it is

really dark, it stars Sam Rockwell

and Frances McDermott. She won Best

Drama. I would recommend it if I

could and Big Little Lies. It is

about domestic abuse, it is produced

by Reese Witherspoon. It won best

limited TV series, Gary Oldman plays

Winston Churchill, amazing

transformation, Ewan McGregor won

for Best Actor for Fargo, there were

a few that didn't make the rung of

the ladder that people were

disappointed about. The Golden

Globes are the awards that are

tipped for the Oscars. So everyone

is looking to see what could be the

Oscars.

They are a big clue, aren't

they?

They are a big clue. Three

billboards, I would be surprised if

it didn't sweep the board.

A word

about the host, did he get the tone

right?

It is a tough gig especially

in this climate. This all started

back in October with Harvey

Weinstein and a New York Times

article depicking some of the sexual

harassment, it has been rumbling on

for a while. A lot of stars now

won't really walk red carpets and do

interviews because they don't want

to be asked about this. Seth Myers

had to host a show that the world

was watching with a black dress code

in, I guess, opposition to what's

been going on. He did start it off

by saying for the male nominees in

the room tonight, this is the first

time in three months, it won't be

terrifying to hear your name read

out! He did make a couple of those

kind of jokes. I feel like his tone

was OK. Some of the women made some

jokes. Gina Davis made a joke about

men coming to accept their award and

they had previously agreed to have

half their salary halved so that

women could make more. So there was

a good tone. It was all not in

horrific jest, it was highlighting

an issue that they cannot ignore.

Yes. It was appropriate and edgy.

Indeed.

Thank you very much. Thank

you.

We will bring you the news and sport

in a moment.

Let's get the latest

weather update with Carol.

Let's get the latest

weather update with Carol.

Temperatures across parts of

Southern Scotland and northern

England fell as low as minus ten

Celsius in places and now, they are

not much higher. If you look at our

Weather Watcher pictures, this shows

you the lovely frosty picture in

Northumberland. Here we had clear

skies, northern England and parts of

Scotland, that's where the

temperature fell. The lowest we

could find was near Perth at minus

ten Celsius.

But where we had more cloud and

still do across southern counties,

in swannage for example, it was plus

five Celsius. So, there is a fair

bit of cloud across southern areas.

You can see this again. Lovely

weather picture from Norfolk

illustrating that point. Through

this morning the cloud across

southern England and South Wales

will migrate northwards. There is a

noticeable breeze. It will feel cold

despite the fact that temperatures

are higher here and by the time we

get to the afternoon, it is northern

England in particular that's

favoured for a fair bit of sunshine.

For Northern Ireland, and also for

Western Scotland, we have got cloud

and as that comes in, it means it

will be bright rather than sunny.

But push eastwards, we're back into

the sunshine. Look at the

temperatures, top temperature in

Inverness and Glasgow and Edinburgh

only one Celsius. Not much better in

Kendal where we are looking at two.

We run into the cloud through the

rest of England and Wales and

southern counties and the cloud is

thick enough for some drizzle. Even

snow grains and if you are wondering

what is a snow grain? It is frozen

drizzle. It is very small particles.

Temperatures up to about five

Celsius in London. As we head

through the evening and overnight,

the cloud continues to move

northwards to all, but the far

north-west of Scotland. It will be a

breezy night. As a result of this,

it won't be as cold as the night

just gone. We will have patchy

drizzle and know grains on the hills

and where we have got the breaks, we

could see ice or indeed k some fog

patches. But tomorrow, look at the

spacing on the isobars, not much in

the way of win until later. As this

Atlantic system comes in, it will

bring rain and strengthening winds.

So as we start the day tomorrow,

it's going to be cloudy. Again,

there will be patchy drizzle around

and out towards the west, all the

time the wind will be picking up.

Then we will see the rain later in

the day start to arrive. Temperature

wise, where we have got that going

on, ten Celsius in Plymouth and four

Celsius in Newcastle. If we pick up

the progress of the weather front it

continues to move from the west

towards the east. In doing so, it

loses some of its energy so the rain

on that weather front will tend to

become more patchy but it engages

with the cold air over the hill of

northern England, Scotland and once

again we could see a wintry flavour

to the weather. Things are quieter,

again a fair bit of sunshine around

and temperature wise a change, we

are looking at highs of five to

about ten Celsius.

Thank you very much, Carol.

Theresa May is set to reshuffle her

Cabinet later today.

A number of new faces are expected

to join her top team.

We'll be speaking to

Conservative MPs Kwasi Kwarteng

and Rachel MacLean.

Are you expecting to retain your job

or are you expecting a promotion?

What does the Prime Minister's

Cabinet reshuffle mean to you? Who

do you want to see in Theresa May's

top team? We will be speaking to two

Conservative MPs about what changes

they want to see.

Last night, the Golden Globe film

awards were handed out

at a glittering ceremony in Los

Angeles.

It was the first major awards

ceremony since Hollywood

was hit by a series

of sexual harassment scandals.

It was a night of powerful speeches

and statements of unity,

and we will have all

of the highlights for you.

So I want all the girls watching

here and now to know that a new date

is on the horizon! -- a new day.

We

will talk live to our showbiz

reporter who has just covered his

20th Golden Globe awards. Fewer

women who suffered heart attacks

would die if they were given the

same treatment as men, according to

a new study. We will talk to two

women who had heart attacks in their

30s.

Annita McVeigh is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary

of the rest of the day's news.

Theresa May is expected to make

several changes to her Cabinet team

today in the most extensive

reshuffle since she

became Prime Minister.

These will include naming

a replacement for Damian Green,

who was in effect Deputy Prime

Minister before he was dismissed

for breaching the ministerial code.

Changes to senior ministerial

positions are expected

to be announced first.

Appointments to more junior roles

will follow tomorrow.

Many of Hollywood's biggests stars

have used the Golden Globe Awards

in Beverley Hills to show

their support for campaigns

against sexual harassment

inside the entertainment industry

and beyond.

During a politically-charged

evening, almost all those attending

chose to wear black,

and several celebrities brought

activists on gender and racial

equality as their guests.
