0:01:140:01:24

Good afternoon and welcome

to the BBC News at One.

0:01:370:01:39

Theresa May has begun the most

extensive reshuffle of her Cabinet

0:01:390:01:45

team since she became Prime

Minister.

0:01:450:01:47

In the past few minutes,

Brandon Lewis has been named

0:01:470:01:52

the new Conservative Party Chairman,

replacing Patrick McLoughlin.

0:01:520:01:54

Mrs May is also due to announce

a successor for her close ally,

0:01:540:01:57

Damian Green, who was sacked

for breaching the ministerial code.

0:01:570:02:01

Earlier this morning,

the Northern Ireland Secretary,

0:02:010:02:03

James Brokenshire resigned

from the Cabinet for health reasons.

0:02:030:02:05

Our political correspondent

Ben Wright reports.

0:02:050:02:10

A New Year, a new cabinet.

Morning Prime Minister.

0:02:100:02:16

Will this rejuvenate the party.

She

will hope so after the Tories

0:02:160:02:21

botched election last year, the

question is who will she choose to

0:02:210:02:25

chop, rejig and row motor in her

team? This morning the Health

0:02:250:02:30

Secretary Jeremy Hunt was swerving

speculation he might be on the move.

0:02:300:02:36

Do you expect to be out of the

cabinet?

So was the Education

0:02:360:02:42

Secretary Justine green, she can't

be sure of having a ministerial car

0:02:420:02:45

by the end of the day.

The reshuffle began with the

0:02:450:02:50

resignation of the Northern Ireland

Secretary James Brokenshire. He has

0:02:500:02:53

chosen to leave the Cabinet because

of health issue, he has been in the

0:02:530:02:57

job since Theresa May became Prime

Minister. In 2016. 36

My intent is

0:02:570:03:01

to get on with surgery, get on with

recovery and get back to my duties

0:03:010:03:08

as MP and back to front line

political duties as well.

0:03:080:03:12

Other cabinet ministers like the

work and pension secretary David

0:03:120:03:16

Gauke spent the morning watching

their phones, waiting to learn their

0:03:160:03:19

fate.

Until you are properly

contacted, you carry on as normal,

0:03:190:03:24

you carry on doing your job.

So you

haven't been given a steer you are

0:03:240:03:30

safe.

I haven't.

Last year it was

bruising for the party after the

0:03:300:03:36

Toried fail to win the snap election

she kaled. The chairman cop add lot

0:03:360:03:40

of the blame and this morning he

stepped down from his post, the

0:03:400:03:43

first to leave Downing Street after

meeting the Prime Minister.

0:03:430:03:46

A shake-up of the Conservative Party

is par of today ease reshuffle.

0:03:460:03:51

Something many Tory MPs want to see.

This is a chance for her to reshape

0:03:510:03:56

her vision of what her party in

Government is about. We do need to

0:03:560:04:02

think deeply about intellectual

renewal, campaigning renewal and

0:04:020:04:04

membership renewal. A modern party

with a modern message for a modern

0:04:040:04:09

Britain.

The promoted are summoned

to Downing Street and first through

0:04:090:04:14

the door was Brandon Lewis.

Are you

the new party chairman? He

He is,

0:04:140:04:20

the appointment confirmed a few

minute ago. The. Co-ings and goings

0:04:200:04:23

will carry on all they but the

Chancellor, Foreign Secretary Brexit

0:04:230:04:28

and Home Secretaries are all

expected to stay put as will the big

0:04:280:04:33

beast of Downing Street.

0:04:330:04:35

Our assistant political editor

Norman Smith is in Westminster.

0:04:350:04:40

So that reshuffle under way but only

one confirmed change so far in the

0:04:400:04:43

last half hour?

And it may be a more

modest reshuffle than perhaps many

0:04:430:04:51

had thought, but let be clear

reshuffles rarely change the

0:04:510:04:55

political weather, most people when

we talk about new ministers probably

0:04:550:04:59

just go who, who? And the sense is

that this reshuffle could perhaps be

0:04:590:05:03

more focussed less on changing the

political weather, and more on the

0:05:030:05:09

profile of the Tory party, the party

machine, we have seen that with the

0:05:090:05:15

appointment of a new chairman

Brandon Lewis who will have a

0:05:150:05:19

shake-up the Tories election machine

after its setback in the election

0:05:190:05:23

last year. A sense that new people

are going to have to be brought in

0:05:230:05:27

to enable it to compete more

effectively against Jeremy Corbyn's

0:05:270:05:32

ability to get new members and

campaign on digital media and social

0:05:320:05:36

media. We expect promotions perhaps

tomorrow for newer MP, women, Tories

0:05:360:05:45

from ethnic minority backgrounds to

give the Conservative Government a

0:05:450:05:49

more modern feel, a more diverse

feel and too we ex some of those MPs

0:05:490:05:58

elected in 2015, 2017 to be given

their chance, because there is is a

0:05:580:06:02

slight pressure cooker feeling on

the backbenches that some of them

0:06:020:06:05

want their chance to show what they

can do. So a reshuffle designed

0:06:050:06:09

perhaps not to solve all Mrs May's

political difficulties but to help

0:06:090:06:15

her in terms of party management,

and the profile the Tory party

0:06:150:06:18

presents.

0:06:180:06:21

The former football coach

Barry Bennell has pleaded

0:06:210:06:23

guilty to six offences

of child sexual assault.

0:06:230:06:25

The 63-year-old, who is now

known as Richard Jones,

0:06:250:06:27

admitted the charges before

the start of his trial

0:06:270:06:29

at Liverpool Crown Court.

0:06:290:06:30

The ex-Crewe coach is charged

with a total of 55 offences

0:06:300:06:33

between 1979 and 1991.

0:06:330:06:34

His alleged victims were boys aged

between eight and 15 years old.

0:06:340:06:37

Our sports correspondent,

Andy Swiss, is in Liverpool.

0:06:370:06:47

Yes, Barry Bennell who is standing

trial here under his new name of

0:06:530:06:58

Richard Jones isn't here in person,

instead he appeared via a videolink

0:06:580:07:04

wearing a grey jumper, he pleaded

guilty to six counts of indecent

0:07:040:07:11

assault against two complainants

aged between 11 and 14 at the time.

0:07:110:07:14

We can now report he had already

pleaded guilty to a seventh offence

0:07:140:07:20

at an earlier hearing. In total he

is charged with 55 sexual offence,

0:07:200:07:27

42 counts of understoods a, 11

counts of serious sexual assault and

0:07:270:07:32

two counts of attempted sexual

assault. It relates to 12

0:07:320:07:39

complainants who between the ages of

12 and 15 at the time of the

0:07:390:07:42

offences which it is claimed

happened between 1979 and 1991. Now

0:07:420:07:48

Barry Bennell is a former football

coach, a former youth coach with

0:07:480:07:51

Crewe, he also worked for a number

of other clubs across the north-west

0:07:510:07:58

including Stoke and Manchester City.

He will face a trial on the

0:07:580:08:02

outstanding 48 charges, and that

trial is expected to last up to

0:08:020:08:05

eight weeks.

Thank you.

0:08:050:08:08

Thank you.

0:08:080:08:09

The 75th Golden Globe Awards

in Los Angeles have been dominated

0:08:090:08:12

by powerful speeches

about Hollywood's

0:08:120:08:13

sexual abuse scandal.

0:08:130:08:14

It was the first major

awards ceremony since

0:08:140:08:16

the film industry was hit

by sexual harassment allegations.

0:08:160:08:18

Almost all of those attending chose

to wear black to show

0:08:180:08:21

support for the victims.

0:08:210:08:28

Missouri", which took

home four awards.

0:08:280:08:30

Here's our North America

correspondent James Cook.

0:08:300:08:37

In Hollywood, they turned

the red carpet black.

0:08:370:08:39

This was a show of solidarity

for those who'd been

0:08:390:08:41

abused and harassed,

and a demonstration

0:08:410:08:43

of the determination to change.

0:08:430:08:44

There is no way that I am ever

going to be in a room and be treated

0:08:440:08:55

in the way that people have

been treated ever again.

0:08:550:08:58

And not stand up and not say,

"I don't agree with that".

0:08:580:09:01

But the whole reason why

that was able to take place,

0:09:010:09:03

like anything that's abuse of power,

is that there is silence.

0:09:030:09:06

Emma Watson was one of several

actresses who arrived

0:09:060:09:08

with an activist as her guest.

0:09:080:09:10

Actually, this cuts across

generations, across ethnicities,

0:09:100:09:11

across communities.

0:09:110:09:12

Actually, if we stand together,

we can end this, right?

0:09:120:09:15

It's just done, it's just over.

0:09:150:09:17

There's going to be a zero

tolerance policy from now on.

0:09:170:09:19

I really...

I really believe that.

0:09:190:09:22

I think, time's up.

0:09:220:09:23

There are somethings that we don't

need to discuss any more.

0:09:230:09:25

Equal pay, for equal

work, well, duh.

0:09:250:09:27

Harassment in the workplace, come

on, time's up on all that stuff.

0:09:270:09:33

From the moment the ceremony

began, its tone was set.

0:09:330:09:39

Good evening, ladies

and remaining gentleman.

0:09:390:09:41

LAUGHTER.

0:09:410:09:42

And here are the all-male nominees.

0:09:420:09:44

Natalie Portman highlighted

the failure of the Golden Globes

0:09:440:09:46

to recognise female directors.

0:09:460:09:47

And star after star lined up

to give voice to a movement

0:09:470:09:50

now known as Time's Up.

0:09:500:10:00

Time is up.

0:10:010:10:02

We see you, we hear

you and we will tell your stories.

0:10:020:10:05

Thank you.

0:10:050:10:06

It was really great to be

in this room tonight.

0:10:060:10:09

And to be a part of

the tectonic shift in our

0:10:090:10:11

industry's power structure.

0:10:110:10:17

But no speech was more powerful

than Oprah Winfrey's.

0:10:170:10:20

So, I want all the girls watching

here and now to know that

0:10:200:10:26

a new day is on the horizon.

0:10:260:10:27

APPLAUSE.

0:10:270:10:32

Absent, of course,

was the fallen mogul,

0:10:320:10:34

Harvey Weinstein.

0:10:340:10:37

Instead, the spotlight was on two

of his most prominent accusers,

0:10:370:10:40

who arrived together.

0:10:400:10:41

We have a little bit more

of an opportunity to lead nationally

0:10:410:10:44

and internationally.

0:10:440:10:45

So, everyone, everywhere can work

safely, earn the same money

0:10:450:10:47

for the same work and we can finally

put sexual harassment in the way

0:10:470:10:51

past, where it should have

been a long time ago.

0:10:510:10:53

Is that happening?

0:10:530:10:55

It's human rights.

0:10:550:10:56

It's basic human rights.

0:10:560:10:58

Is that happening?

0:10:580:11:05

It is happening.

0:11:050:11:06

Four months ago, you couldn't have

dreamt of a night like this

0:11:060:11:09

and conversations that

are being had.

0:11:090:11:11

I think it's exciting

times for all of us.

0:11:110:11:13

Time and again here on this red

carpet, we've had the same word

0:11:130:11:16

and that word is "Change".

0:11:160:11:17

The stars who have been walking down

here are insisting that this

0:11:170:11:20

is not just a moment,

this is a process,

0:11:200:11:22

which they say will continue.

0:11:220:11:23

James Cook, BBC News,

at the Golden Globes in Hollywood.

0:11:230:11:31

The BBC's China editor,

Carrie Gracie, has stepped down

0:11:310:11:33

from the role over what she's called

an "indefensible pay gap between men

0:11:330:11:37

and women" at the corporation.

0:11:370:11:38

In an open letter addressed to

licence fee payers, Carrie Gracie -

0:11:380:11:41

who is remaining at the BBC -

accused the corporation

0:11:410:11:43

of "breaking equality law".

0:11:430:11:44

This morning she said the reaction

to her resignation showed the "depth

0:11:440:11:47

of hunger" for equal pay.

0:11:470:11:48

A BBC spokesperson says

there's "no systemic

0:11:480:11:50

discrimination against women".

0:11:500:11:51

Our media correspondent

David Sillito reports.

0:11:510:12:01

Morning Carrie.

0:12:020:12:04

Carrie Gracie arrived for work

at the BBC this morning,

0:12:040:12:06

just hours after publishing a letter

to the BBC's audience,

0:12:060:12:09

saying:

0:12:090:12:18

"The BBC belongs to you,

the license fee payer,

0:12:180:12:20

and I believe you have

a right to know that it's

0:12:200:12:23

breaking equality law.

0:12:230:12:24

I'm resisting pressure for a fairer

transparent pay structure."

0:12:240:12:26

Chinese once called Chairman Mao

the great helmsman.

0:12:260:12:29

Carrie Gracie was the BBC's China

editor, but has now left that post.

0:12:290:12:32

The reason?

0:12:320:12:39

Male international editors were,

it was revealed, being paid around

0:12:390:12:41

50% more than the women.

0:12:410:12:45

Six months ago we discovered the pay

discrepancies at the BBC.

0:12:450:12:47

They affeceted me very directly.

0:12:470:12:49

I've spent the intervening time

trying to put them right

0:12:490:12:51

through an equal pay complaint,

through a formal grievance.

0:12:510:12:53

I have repeatedly told management

I would not find it possible to go

0:12:530:13:01

back to China in the New Year

without the grievance resolved.

0:13:010:13:04

It is still unresolved and I cannot

collude in what I see

0:13:040:13:07

as unlawful pay discrimination.

0:13:070:13:08

It has been very moving.

0:13:080:13:17

And this morning, she was presenting

the Today programme,

0:13:170:13:19

talking about the support she had

received for her stand.

0:13:190:13:22

The BBC says an independent review

of staff pay had not revealed

0:13:220:13:25

systematic discrimination.

0:13:250:13:31

Its gender pay gap of 9.3% is around

half that of the national average

0:13:310:13:35

and it was committed to closing

that, and it would also soon be

0:13:350:13:38

publishing a full review of how it

pays its top presenters and editors.

0:13:380:13:41

But Carrie Gracie said

she was offered a £45,000 pay

0:13:410:13:43

increase, but turned it down,

saying it was a botched solution.

0:13:430:13:46

The real answer, she says,

is a fair and open pay

0:13:460:13:52

system for everyone.

0:13:520:13:53

David Sillito, BBC News.

0:13:530:14:01

There are fears of an environmental

disaster in the East China Sea,

0:14:010:14:04

as a tanker continues to leak oil,

two days after colliding

0:14:040:14:07

with a cargo ship.

0:14:070:14:09

Chinese officials have told

state media the vessel,

0:14:090:14:11

which is on fire, is in danger

of exploding and sinking.

0:14:110:14:14

South Korean planes and an American

aircraft have joined the search

0:14:140:14:17

for 32 crew members,

who have been missing

0:14:170:14:19

since the incident happened 160

miles off the coast of Shanghai.

0:14:190:14:21

Robin Brant reports.

0:14:210:14:29

For two nights, the fire has burned.

0:14:290:14:30

Dark black smoke feeding off

the cargo, of almost a million

0:14:300:14:34

barrels of oil inside the Sanchi.

0:14:340:14:37

The search and rescue operation

is still trying to find all but one

0:14:370:14:40

of the missing 32 crew members.

0:14:400:14:49

Their fate grows more

grim as time goes on.

0:14:490:14:51

It's not clear at this stage how

these two ships collided.

0:14:510:14:55

The CF Crystal was damaged at its

bow, but all onboard were rescued.

0:14:550:15:00

Chinese officials now fear

the stricken Iranian ship

0:15:000:15:02

could explode and sink.

0:15:020:15:03

The Sanchi left port

in the Persian Gulf bringing

0:15:030:15:05

136,000 tonnes of oil east.

0:15:050:15:14

It passed through the Malacca

Straights and was heading up

0:15:140:15:17

the East China Sea to South Korea

when the collision happened.

0:15:170:15:19

The Chinese authorities are leading

the search and rescue effort,

0:15:190:15:28

but there's help from South Korea

and the United States.

0:15:280:15:30

The focus, though, is increasingly

turning to the environmental

0:15:300:15:32

threat to the ocean,

about 200 miles off the coast

0:15:320:15:35

of this city in that direction.

0:15:350:15:40

With a volume of oil on board,

this has the potential

0:15:400:15:42

to be the worst spill

of its kind since 1991.

0:15:420:15:45

The last time a tanker lost oil

on this scale was The Prestige,

0:15:450:15:48

off the coast of Spain, in 2002.

0:15:480:15:49

But it's not the thick black crude

oil that's causing such a problem

0:15:490:15:53

off the coast of China this time.

0:15:530:15:54

The Sanchi is carrying condensate,

a refined form of oil

0:15:540:15:57

that is far less dense,

but more explosive.

0:15:570:15:59

One expert has described

the ship as a floating bomb.

Our top story this lunchtime:

0:16:240:16:28

Theresa May's cabinet reshuffle is

under way. The Immigration Minister

0:16:280:16:33

has been made chairman of the

Conservative Party replacing Patrick

0:16:330:16:37

McLoughlin. And why women are twice

as likely as men to die from the

0:16:370:16:41

most serious type of heart attack.

0:16:410:16:43

most serious type of heart attack.

The Video Assistant Referee

makes its debut in competitive club

0:16:450:16:48

football in England tonight.

0:16:480:16:49

It will be used in the FA Cup

third-round tie between Brighton

and Crystal Palace.

0:16:510:16:58

Rail commuters across England

are facing up to three days

0:17:010:17:04

of disruption, as staff at five

train companies begin a fresh wave

0:17:040:17:07

of strikes over the role

of guards and safety.

0:17:070:17:11

Workers at Northern, Merseyrail,

South Western Railway

0:17:110:17:13

and Greater Anglia are walking out

today and on Wednesday and Friday.

0:17:130:17:19

RMT members at Southern are also

staging a 24-hour walk-out.

0:17:190:17:24

Our Transport Correspondent

Victoria Fritz is at

0:17:240:17:26

London Waterloo Station this

lunchtime.

0:17:260:17:30

Victoria?

Hello. You said it all,

really. London Waterloo is one of

0:17:300:17:38

the busiest stations in the world,

about 100,000 people come through

0:17:380:17:43

here every single day. That's more

than London Gatwick and Heathrow

0:17:430:17:47

combined. A lot of them will be

using South Western Railway. One of

0:17:470:17:52

just five franchises that have

workers out on strike today.

0:17:520:17:56

At the best of times,

Monday mornings aren't most people's

0:17:570:17:59

favourite time of the week,

but for thousands commuting

0:17:590:18:02

into work today, things are more

of a grind than usual.

0:18:020:18:07

ANNOUNCEMENT:

RMT strike action

will affect our services today.

0:18:070:18:10

This isn't the first time there's

been widespread industrial

0:18:100:18:12

action over this issue.

0:18:120:18:13

On Southern, it's the 39th.

0:18:130:18:14

This is all over who does

what on the trains.

0:18:140:18:24

On driver-only controlled trains,

the driver takes over the

0:18:240:18:26

the safety-critical roles,

such as opening and

0:18:260:18:28

closing the doors.

0:18:280:18:29

Normally, on trains,

this is done by the guard.

0:18:290:18:31

The union wants guarantees over

the future of the role of the guard.

0:18:310:18:35

Passengers at Pudsey and Yorkshire

are resigned to a week

0:18:350:18:37

of delays and cancellations.

0:18:370:18:38

It's an absolute nightmare

getting to work.

0:18:380:18:43

Especially today, because the taxis

are on a go slow as well.

0:18:430:18:46

So, I'm just hoping the train

is actually going to come

0:18:460:18:49

when it's supposed to.

0:18:490:18:50

It needs to stop.

0:18:500:18:51

Because we need to be

at work on time, isn't it?

0:18:510:18:54

I just want to get

to college, really.

0:18:540:18:56

I don't understand why trains

are being delayed all the time.

0:18:560:19:01

The strike started at midnight

with over 2,000 RMT members walking

0:19:010:19:04

out across five rail franchises.

0:19:040:19:05

All across the country.

0:19:050:19:09

The union wants more guarantees over

the role of the guard

0:19:090:19:12

and passenger safety.

0:19:120:19:17

We are in a dispute because there's

a million trains a year that

0:19:170:19:27

actually have the guarantee

of a second safety

0:19:280:19:31

critical guard on the train.

0:19:310:19:33

The private operators want to get

rid of that guarantee and run

0:19:330:19:36

those trains without that

safety critical guard.

0:19:360:19:37

Rail operators say safety

is of paramount importance.

0:19:370:19:39

Our network is incredibly

complex and diverse,

0:19:390:19:41

we don't think it's a one size fits

all approach, we want to work

0:19:410:19:44

with the RMT to make sure any

changes we make are fully assessed

0:19:440:19:47

and we understand

the impact of them.

0:19:470:19:50

In fact, for our business,

we have to do what is called a risk

0:19:500:19:53

assessment for any change.

0:19:530:19:55

Those changes then get independently

evaluated by the rail regulator

0:19:550:19:58

who gives us our licence to operate.

0:19:580:19:59

Train operators are trying to keep

passengers on the move with longer

0:19:590:20:02

trains and rail replacement buses

where services are disrupted.

0:20:020:20:04

The journey home is expected

to be worse and for many,

0:20:040:20:07

they will have to face this all over

again on Wednesday and Friday.

0:20:070:20:16

Resources are clearly being thrown

at getting as many people possible

0:20:200:20:24

as into the big cities. It will be

passengers on the other end of those

0:20:240:20:29

lines at the other end of the day

who will suffer most from

0:20:290:20:33

cancellations and delays.

Thank you.

0:20:330:20:40

Firefighters have been

tackling a small blaze

0:20:400:20:41

at Trump Tower in New York.

0:20:410:20:43

The fire was located

on the roof of the building,

0:20:430:20:45

which is 58-storeys high,

and several fire engines

0:20:450:20:47

could be seen at the bottom

of the skyscraper.

0:20:470:20:49

The President was not

in the building at the time,

0:20:490:20:52

and no injuries were reported.

0:20:520:20:56

If you're a woman, you're twice

as likely to die in the year

0:20:560:21:00

after having the most serious type

of heart attack than a man,

0:21:000:21:02

that's according to a study

conducted in Sweden over a decade.

0:21:020:21:05

Researchers found that

women aren't always given

0:21:050:21:07

the same treatment as men

and are less likely to receive

0:21:070:21:09

recommended treatments such

as bypass surgery or statins.

0:21:090:21:11

Our Health Correspondent Dominic

Hughes has the details.

0:21:110:21:20

Five years ago Philippa Hicken was

fit, active and healthy and had just

0:21:200:21:24

had her second child.

I had my heart

attack on...

She had been feeling

0:21:240:21:29

unwell for a few days but then she

suffered a sudden heart attack that

0:21:290:21:33

almost killed her.

Certainly, I

wasn't thinking, "I'm having a heart

0:21:330:21:38

attack, I need to go to hospital".

All I was thinking was, I feel

0:21:380:21:42

really unwell and I need somebody to

listen to me and helped me. And my

0:21:420:21:46

symptoms, which were a key

shoulders, an aching neck, chest,

0:21:460:21:52

almost like a flu were put down to a

virus.

Now a new study from Sweden

0:21:520:21:58

raises questions about the treatment

of women undergoing the most serious

0:21:580:22:01

form of heart attack. Those

suffering from a total blockage of

0:22:010:22:04

the coronary artery were 34% less

0:22:040:22:07

suffering from a total blockage of

the coronary artery were 34% less

0:22:070:22:08

likely to receive procedures which

cleared those arteries such as

0:22:080:22:12

bypass surgery and stents. There

will also 24% less likely to be

0:22:120:22:17

prescribed static medication which

helps to prevent a second heart

0:22:170:22:20

attack and 16% less likely to be

given aspirin

0:22:200:22:22

attack and 16% less likely to be

given aspirin which helps to prevent

0:22:220:22:23

blood clots.

Women themselves are

less likely to recognise symptoms

0:22:230:22:28

and call for treatment urgently.

When it gets to the hospital, health

0:22:280:22:32

professionals are less likely to

diagnose accurately that they are

0:22:320:22:35

having a heart attack. This

particular study shows that even

0:22:350:22:37

when they do, they are probably not

treating the women in the same way

0:22:370:22:40

as men, which is something that

should change.

More women die from

0:22:400:22:46

coronary heart disease in the UK

than from breast cancer. This study

0:22:460:22:50

suggests women may not be getting

the same quality of treatment as

0:22:500:22:54

men. Equally, stars show there are

simple ways to improve the chances

0:22:540:22:57

of those women who do suffer a heart

attack. -- it shows there are

0:22:570:23:03

several ways.

0:23:030:23:04

Some pharmacists at Boots

are worried that work pressures mean

0:23:040:23:06

patients could be put at risk.

0:23:060:23:07

A former manager, who flagged

up his concerns about understaffing

0:23:070:23:10

to the industry regulator before

he resigned in 2015,

0:23:100:23:12

has now spoken publicly

for the first time to the BBC's

0:23:120:23:15

Inside Out programme.

0:23:150:23:17

Boots says it's confident

its pharmacies have enough staff.

0:23:170:23:19

Marie Ashby reports.

0:23:190:23:24

Boots is one of the country's

best-known high street names

0:23:240:23:26

and the largest pharmacy chain

in the UK.

0:23:260:23:31

It has almost 2,400 stores

and provides a crucial NHS service.

0:23:310:23:38

But some pharmacists at Boots

are worried that the work

0:23:380:23:40

pressures they're under

could lead to mistakes.

0:23:400:23:42

Two of the pharmacists we spoke

to were prepared to be

0:23:420:23:45

interviewed, as long

as their identity was protected.

0:23:450:23:46

Their words are spoken by actors.

0:23:460:23:54

Some days, you would easily describe

the team as being at breaking point.

0:23:540:23:57

Because, simply, the amount of work

that has to be done can't

0:23:570:24:01

physically get done,

safely, and it can't physically get

0:24:010:24:03

done without either working

longer hours or working

0:24:030:24:05

after the store's closed.

0:24:050:24:07

Mistakes may not be picked up

on and that could ultimately lead

0:24:070:24:10

to somebody possibly dying.

0:24:100:24:11

The Pharmacists Defence Association

Union is the largest union

0:24:110:24:13

representing the profession.

0:24:130:24:17

It supports a third of Boots's 6,500

pharmacists and is involved

0:24:170:24:19

in a legal battle to be recognised

as a union, there.

0:24:190:24:27

Pharmacists have told us,

working for Boots, that

0:24:270:24:28

they're finding that,

increasingly, there are less staff

0:24:280:24:30

available and that makes their job

a lot more difficult

0:24:300:24:33

and more pressurised.

0:24:330:24:36

We have an industry-leading

patient safety record.

0:24:360:24:39

I'm absolutely confident

that the resources are there

0:24:390:24:40

to deliver the patient care.

0:24:400:24:42

I am confident that

we have enough staff.

0:24:420:24:45

Greg Lawton was a former manager

who was involved in patient safety

0:24:450:24:48

at Boots, until he resigned

more than two years ago.

0:24:480:24:50

He reported his concerns

about understaffing

0:24:500:24:52

to the General Pharmaceutical

Council.

0:24:520:24:56

They told me that they were going

to review their inspection

0:24:560:24:58

model, as a result.

0:24:580:25:01

They didn't interview

a single person.

0:25:010:25:03

And they concluded that there

wasn't any problem at all.

0:25:030:25:07

Just over a year ago, the regulator

also told him its investigation

0:25:070:25:10

found there was no systemic failure

by Boots to provide adequate

0:25:100:25:14

staff in its pharmacies.

0:25:140:25:16

Greg, his opinions and his concerns,

left the business over two years ago

0:25:160:25:19

and aren't relevant to Boots today.

0:25:190:25:23

We continue to invest

in more people, more

0:25:230:25:25

pharmacists than ever before.

0:25:250:25:27

That's into our shops

and into our processes,

0:25:270:25:29

helping to make things more safe.

0:25:290:25:31

The industry regulator is providing

more patient safety guidance

0:25:310:25:34

to community pharmacies

later this year.

Boots: Pharmacists Under Pressure:

An Inside Out special,

tonight, at 7:30pm.

0:25:450:25:49

Three-time Grand Slam champion

Andy Murray has undergone

0:25:530:25:55

surgery in Melbourne,

following problems with his hip.

0:25:550:26:05

The injury has prevented

the 30-year-old from playing more

0:26:050:26:07

than exhibition matches

since summer last year.

0:26:070:26:09

Our Sports Correspondent David

Ornstein is in Salford.

0:26:090:26:14

He just had the surgery today and

he's hoping to be back on court very

0:26:140:26:18

soon?

That's right, he said 7-8

weeks until he is hitting tennis

0:26:180:26:22

balls again and he has been advised

14 weeks until he is back in action,

0:26:220:26:27

mid April. About the time of the

clay-court season. But Murray has

0:26:270:26:31

taken to social media to say I look

forward to returning to competitive

0:26:310:26:35

tennis during the grass court

season. Perhaps that means Queen's

0:26:350:26:39

or even Wimbledon, by which time it

will be around one years since he's

0:26:390:26:42

been out. Murray has been no

stranger to hip problems throughout

0:26:420:26:50

his career but it flared up this

particular problem at the French

0:26:500:26:53

Open in June. He struggled through

Wimbledon, losing in the

0:26:530:26:55

quarterfinals and hasn't played

since, pulling out of the US Open in

0:26:550:26:59

August. He was due to return in

Brisbane last week, but pulled out

0:26:590:27:03

and withdrew from the Australian

Open as we know. He has said surgery

0:27:030:27:07

was the last resort and that resort

has been taken. He said the surgeon

0:27:070:27:12

who he has known for a decade and is

said to be one of the most

0:27:120:27:16

experienced hip surgeons in the

world saw it as a success. Mary

0:27:160:27:19

seemed to be happy. He said, "I will

come back from this pointed out it

0:27:190:27:25

was successful." -- Murray seemed to

be happy. He has been quite robust

0:27:250:27:30

in his reply. He said, I'm not

finished playing tennis yet, the

0:27:300:27:34

rest of my body feels fantastic. He

highlighted it was just this one key

0:27:340:27:39

problem that was troubling him. He

said, I think I will be back on

0:27:390:27:43

court competing at the highest level

again. Good news from Andy Murray

0:27:430:27:46

today.

Thank you.

0:27:460:27:48

In cricket, it's been

a disappointing end

0:27:480:27:49

to the Ashes for England.

0:27:490:27:52

They've lost the final Test

to give Australia a 4-0

0:27:520:27:54

victory in the series.

0:27:540:27:55

England's captain Joe Root made

a half-century in Sydney,

0:27:550:27:57

despite being treated in hospital

before play for severe dehydration.

0:27:570:28:00

Bowler James Anderson acknowledged

the visitors had lost

0:28:000:28:02

to a far better side,

and said England were now

0:28:020:28:04

looking to the future.

0:28:040:28:06

Patrick Gearey reports from Sydney.

0:28:060:28:13

England have had three weeks

to prepare for these pictures,

0:28:130:28:17

but that will make them

no easier to watch.

0:28:170:28:21

After a stomach churning series,

0:28:210:28:23

queasiest of all the captain

Joe Root who arrived at the ground

0:28:230:28:26

having spent the morning in hospital

with a stomach bug.

0:28:260:28:28

So Moeen Ali took his place,

batted for an hour and then

0:28:280:28:31

met a familiar end.

0:28:310:28:32

Dismissed by Nathan Lyon

for the seventh time this series.

0:28:320:28:35

Incoming, the outpatient. You can't

ring in sick if a Test match to say.

0:28:350:28:39

Joe Root Neston sub 250. -- nursed

himself to 50.

0:28:390:28:46

But it was hard going.

0:28:460:28:47

At lunch he retired.

0:28:470:28:48

His series ended not

by an Aussie but by his belly.

0:28:480:28:51

Australia removed Jonny Bairstow not

long later and the rest

0:28:510:28:53

was nasty, brutish and short.

0:28:530:28:54

This was exactly the sort

of ruthless cricket that has allowed

0:28:540:28:57

Australia to dominate England

and win the series with four

0:28:570:28:59

big victories to none.

0:28:590:29:01

I do think it's been

closer than 4-0.

0:29:010:29:02

I think we've been on top

in some games, if not

0:29:020:29:05

all the games, at some stage.

0:29:050:29:10

We've not capitalised

on the key moments.

0:29:100:29:11

All the guys in the dressing room

are hurting but that feeling that

0:29:110:29:15

you get should make you more

determined to try and win

0:29:150:29:17

back the Ashes in 2019.

0:29:170:29:18

The celebrations here

are over and it's now

0:29:180:29:20

about picking up the pieces.

0:29:200:29:21

England have not won a Test match

in this country in seven years

0:29:210:29:25

and haven't come too

much closer to doing so.

0:29:250:29:27

So, what went wrong?

0:29:270:29:29

Perhaps the key moment happened

in September in Bristol.

0:29:290:29:32

The incident outside a nightclub,

which ruled England star

0:29:320:29:34

Ben Stokes out of the series.

0:29:340:29:38

That invited a focus on England's

off-field behaviour and highlighted

0:29:380:29:40

minor incidents involving

Jonny Bairstow and Ben Duckett.

0:29:400:29:43

On the pitch, there have been missed

chances with the bat and wider

0:29:430:29:46

issues with the ball.

0:29:460:29:49

You know, I talk about the tool box

and the captain is only as good

0:29:490:29:53

as the tool box he's got

in his hand.

0:29:530:29:55

Joe Root was missing

a spanner and a screwdriver.

0:29:550:29:57

He didn't have a spinner,

he didn't have a quick bowler.

0:29:570:30:00

England will be back in four years,

perhaps even with some

0:30:000:30:02

of the same players,

but to compete in this most raw

0:30:020:30:06

of cricketing environments much else

in the English game may

0:30:060:30:09

need to change.

0:30:090:30:10

Time for a look at the weather.

0:30:100:30:12

Here's Chris Fawkes.

0:30:120:30:13

At least the weather isn't leaving

us stumped at the moment, quite

0:30:150:30:18

straightforward today. We have

cloudy skies across much of England

0:30:180:30:22

and Wales but further north, a fair

bit of sunshine. For many, clear

0:30:220:30:25

blue skies. These big differences?

It's all down to this area of high

0:30:250:30:30

pressure. In areas of high pressure,

air tends to sink down through the

0:30:300:30:37

atmosphere towards the earth's

surface. As that happens, the air

0:30:370:30:42

becomes drier. If that dry air

reaches the ground, we get the clear

0:30:420:30:46

blue sunny skies like we have seen

on this Weather Watcher picture.

0:30:460:30:49

Thank you. Sometimes, that dry air

doesn't quite make its way all the

0:30:490:30:56

way to the ground, like this picture

from Canary Wharf. Instead, we get a

0:30:560:31:01

layer of low clouds trapped

underneath and that is what we have

0:31:010:31:03

at the moment across a good part of

southern England, the Midlands, East

0:31:030:31:08

Anglia and most of Wales.

Stratocumulus cloud going nowhere

0:31:080:31:10

fast, it will be all day. In

shorthand, look outside because the

0:31:100:31:17

weather you have got is the weather

you have through the rest of the

0:31:170:31:21

day. The best of the sunshine

further north. It will be a cold day

0:31:210:31:26

either way, temperatures not getting

too much above freezing, typically

0:31:260:31:29

around for degrees. For quite a

number of us. Overnight, the winds

0:31:290:31:34

turn more south-easterly which

pushes the low cloud further north.

0:31:340:31:37

Across much of northern England,

probably getting into Northern

0:31:370:31:41

Ireland and Scotland at the end of

the night. Some spots of drizzle

0:31:410:31:44

with that, a bit of a frozen drizzle

and snow grains falling from the

0:31:440:31:48

clouds over the hills like the

Pennines. A cold night and cold

0:31:480:31:52

start of the day in western

Scotland, the Highlands potentially

0:31:520:31:56

down two minus eight. Tomorrow, a

lot of cloud, some drizzle here and

0:31:560:32:00

there, the best of limited sunshine

across western Scotland. Changing

0:32:000:32:04

late in the afternoon as a band of

rain starts to move in and encroach

0:32:040:32:08

off the Atlantic. A milder day with

10 degrees in the likes of

0:32:080:32:12

south-west England. Tuesday night,

our weather front pushes East. It

0:32:120:32:19

could turn murky over high ground,

mist and fog patches with outbreaks

0:32:190:32:23

of rain which will continue east.

Snow over the hills of Scotland and

0:32:230:32:27

temperatures overnight between two

and 5 degrees. Better weather for

0:32:270:32:32

Wednesday, the dregs of the weather

front will clear away quickly with

0:32:320:32:36

some sunshine coming through and

temperatures will be climbing,

0:32:360:32:40

getting back closer and above normal

in places perhaps. Even further

0:32:400:32:44

north, five or 6 degrees, warmer

than you've got at the moment. The

0:32:440:32:49

weather will turn milder over the

next few days.

0:32:490:32:52

A reminder of our main

story this lunchtime:

0:32:520:32:54

Theresa May's Cabinet reshuffle is

underway, the Immigration Minister,

0:32:560:32:59

Brandon Lewis, has been made

Chairman of the Conservative Party,

0:32:590:33:04

replacing Patrick McLaughlin.

0:33:040:33:05

That's all from the BBC News at One,

so it's goodbye from me
