An explosion in Syria's
northwestern city of Idlib, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
said to have targeted the government
opposition, has killed | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
at least 18 people. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
The BBC's China editor
Carrie Gracie is stepping | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
down from the role,
citing unequal pay | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
with her male colleagues. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:36 | |
And Hollywood gets red carpet-ready
for the Golden Globes - | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
the first major award ceremony
since the sexual harassment | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
scandals. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
We hear from one of its top stars. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:50 | |
I couldn't bear the thought of being
in a movie that glorified somebody | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
who had heard people in these ways.
-- somebody who had hurt people. | 0:00:53 | 0:01:05 | |
Hello and welcome
to World News Today. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
More than 30 people are missing
after a collision between an oil | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
tanker and a cargo ship off the east
coast of China. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
It's the worst disaster
of its kind for many years. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
The tanker remains on fire
and 136,000 barrels of oil | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
worth around $60 million -
are either burning or | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
spilling into the sea. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
Andy Moore reports: | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
Still burning fiercely many hours
after the original collision, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
and still no confirmed news
about the fate of its 32 crew. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
30 were Iranian and two
were from Bangladesh. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
The tanker is more than 270 metres
long and was carrying just under | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
1 million barrels of oil. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:54 | |
If the entire cargo ends up
the ocean, that will be | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
ten oil spills in the world ever. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
It has a huge potential
for environmental damage. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:06 | |
The Panamanian-registered tanker set
off from the Persian Gulf | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
on its journey to South Korea. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
It sailed through the Malacca Strait
before colliding with a Chinese | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
freight ship in the East China Sea
about 160 nautical miles off | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
the port city of Shanghai. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:22 | |
Major oil spills from tankers
are becoming less common. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
One of the most serious in recent
years was the sinking | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
of the Prestige off the coast
of Spain in 2002. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
More than 60,000 tonnes of oil
came ashore over a long | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
stretch of coastline. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
Specialist clean-up vessels have
been sent to the scene | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
of the tanker fire. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
Chinese authorities have confirmed
there is an oil slick, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
but they cannot confirm how
big it is. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |

An explosion in Syria's
northwestern city of Idlib has | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
killed at least 18 people,
according to a monitoring group. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:56 | |
Another 10 people were
injured in the attack, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
the Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights said. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
The explosion was said to have
targeted the headquarters | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
of an opposition faction. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
Idlib province is the last remaining
rebel stronghold in Syria. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
I can speak now on the latest
situation in Syria | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
with Joshua Landis. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
He is the Director of the Centre
for Middle East Studies | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
at the University of Oklahoma
and author of the blog | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
Syria Comment. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
He joins me now from Italy. What do
you make of what is going on in the | 0:03:20 | 0:03:26 | |
Idlib area? Well, Idlib is in the
north along the Turkish border. The | 0:03:26 | 0:03:36 | |
Russians and Americans negotiated
three big areas of deconfliction | 0:03:36 | 0:03:43 | |
zones, as they called it, where they
would agree to stop fighting while | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
the battle with Isis was being
waged. But the territorial battle | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
against crisis has come to an end
now, says Syria has begun moving its | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
units back towards the three major
areas, one of which is Idlib and is | 0:03:54 | 0:04:01 | |
still held by rebels. In Syria, the
Assad government has every intention | 0:04:01 | 0:04:07 | |
to take back these regions. So we
are going to see a lot of fighting, | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
I fear, in the next weeks. Thank you
for stopping those phones for us! | 0:04:12 | 0:04:19 | |
That is one of the areas. Eastern
Ghouta is another. Obviously, this | 0:04:19 | 0:04:26 | |
does go against the general
narrative we have seen in Syria. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
Yes, it does. The Syrian government,
Assad has repeated over and over | 0:04:30 | 0:04:36 | |
again that he intends to take back
all of Syria. The United States is | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
of course occupying almost 30% in
the north. It has helped to | 0:04:40 | 0:04:45 | |
encourage set up a government there.
But there are still big rebel | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
enclaves. That is where we will see
a lot of fighting. They had been | 0:04:49 | 0:04:55 | |
under deconfliction zones, but those
are collapsing, so we are going to | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
see more fighting in those regions.
And in Idlib, there are about 2 | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
million people, many of the rebels
have fled to this area. Turkey does | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
not want them to be driven inside
Turkey. It has moved troops into the | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
region. Syria, of course, wants to
get rid of those people. There is a | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
big number of Al-Qaeda people there
as well. So this is going to become | 0:05:16 | 0:05:22 | |
an increasingly fraught battle
ground. We have seen a lot of focus | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
on the vulnerable, the children
especially. As we said, there are | 0:05:26 | 0:05:35 | |
over 2 million refugees, desperately
poor, and this is turning into a | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
major battle ground, with bombing
from the regime. The regime is | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
exhausted. It is using air power
rather than men on the ground, which | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
is very expensive for them, to roll
them back. That means lots of | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
casualties and grisly scenes. Joshua
Landis, thanks for your time. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:56 | |
Former Egyptian Prime Minister
Ahmed Shafik has said | 0:05:56 | 0:06:01 | |
he will not run in this year's
presidential election. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
The statement was published
on his Twitter page. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
Mr Shafik had previously
announced his intention to run | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
and he was seen as the main rival
to President Sisi. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
The BBC's Hanan Razek
has more from Cairo. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
So today, Shafik announced
through his Twitter page | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
that he is no longer running
for the upcoming election | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
which is expected around
April or May this year. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
In his statement, he said
that he realised he is not the ideal | 0:06:25 | 0:06:30 | |
candidate to lead the country's
affairs in the coming period. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
For this reason,
he decided not to run. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Shafik was himself a presidential
candidate back in 2012 | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
and he lost by a narrow margin
to the Muslim Brotherhood candidate | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
back then, Mohammed Morsi. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
He got almost 49% of the vote. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
After that, he left
for the Emirates and did not come | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
back until last month. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
Back in November, he announced that
he would run for the presidency. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
Let's take a look at some of
the other stories making the news. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:06 | |
Police in Sweden say a 60-year-old
man has died in an explosion outside | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
an underground station in Stockholm. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:10 | |
The incident happened
at Varby Gard metro station | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
in the south of the city. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:13 | |
A woman nearby was also hurt. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
According to a police
spokesman, an object exploded | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
after it was picked up. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:18 | |
The incident is not believed
to be terrorism-related. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:28 | |
President Macron of France has led
tributes to the 16 people | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
who were killed in Islamist attacks
in Paris three years ago. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
Commemorations began
at the offices in Paris | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
of the satirical magazine,
Charlie Hebdo, to remember the 12 | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
people who died when two gunmen
burst into an editorial meeting. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
Malaysia's long-serving former prime
minister, Mahathir Mohamad, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
has been chosen once again
as a candidate for the top | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
job at the age of 92. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
Mr Mahathir resigned
as prime minister in 2003, | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
but has been drawn back
into politics because of his | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
opposition to the current
Prime Minister, Najib Razak. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:56 | |
The BBC's China editor Carrie Gracie
has resigned from her post, | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
citing a lack of equal pay compared
with male colleagues. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
In an open letter, Ms Gracie -
who has been at the BBC | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
for more than 30 years -
accused the corporation | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
of having a "secretive
and illegal pay culture". | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
She said the BBC was facing
a "crisis" over the question | 0:08:13 | 0:08:20 | |
of equal pay. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:21 | |
With me is our Media
Editor, Amol Rajan. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
Just to explain, Carrie Gracie is
not leaving the BBC, she has just | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
resigned from her post. She has
indeed. She is one of the most | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
respected international
correspondence of her generation | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
with over three decades at the BBC
and as the China editor, one of the | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
hardest posting in the world, a
difficult post-war Britain. She is | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
leaving her post as China editor
rather than leaving the BBC. She is | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
doing it because, in an explosive
letter which is actually to licence | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
fee payers, she says the BBC is
failing to live up to its own values | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
of trust and accountability and
transparency when it comes to equal | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
pay. The context for this is that
last year, the BBC was forced | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
against its will to reveal the pay
of on-air talent who were paid over | 0:09:02 | 0:09:08 | |
£150,000. That revealed not just
that many men were paid a lot more | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
than senior women at the BBC, but as
Carrie Gracie sees it and many | 0:09:11 | 0:09:16 | |
others have also argued, that there
are some men getting paid more than | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
women for doing the same sort of
job. Her point is that there are | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
other international creditors at the
BBC who happen to be male who are | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
getting paid more money --
international creditors. The BBC has | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
offered Carrie Gracie more money. It
has launched audits looking at the | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
question of equal pay, but her
central allegation is that the BBC | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
doesn't take this issue seriously
because if it did, she will be paid | 0:09:39 | 0:09:44 | |
the same as others with the same
role. She is also calling for | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
transparency and talks about ethnic
minority gaps and other gaps | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
potentially. You are a senior
editor. Would you be happy to have | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
your pay published? Personally, I
feel that the BBC should be as | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
transparent as possible because it
belongs to the public, so I would be | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
happy for my pay to be in the public
domain? Want to share it with us? As | 0:10:03 | 0:10:10 | |
media editor, I get paid £133,000,
so I did not qualify for the | 0:10:10 | 0:10:16 | |
£150,000 list. I do other work which
also takes me over £150,000. The BBC | 0:10:16 | 0:10:24 | |
should be transparent. But in trying
to report the subject, the thing I | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
have come across is the immense
anger that people at the BBC feel, | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
especially senior women, about the
fact that the BBC does not take this | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
seriously. There are now 200
complainants, according to Carrie | 0:10:35 | 0:10:40 | |
Gracie's letter, 200 people who have
complained to the BBC because they | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
feel that their pay is unjust. This
is not about gender pay as a whole, | 0:10:43 | 0:10:50 | |
it is the specific issue of whether
women are paid less than men for | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
doing the same job. And that one,
Carrie Gracie says the BBC is | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
failing. You have spoken to senior
people at the BBC. They say they | 0:10:58 | 0:11:04 | |
don't want to comment on individual
cases. They have obviously had a | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
difficult negotiation with Carrie
Gracie. But they would say the BBC | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
is doing a lot on this. Firstly, the
BBC goes further than other | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
organisations. They would say that
Tony Hall is committed to this and | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
that a lot has happened in the last
few years under his leadership. And | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
they do point to these different
reports. I will not get technical, | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
but there is an internal audit of
pay. PwC have been brought in to | 0:11:26 | 0:11:32 | |
look at pay across the organisation.
There is also a report looking at | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
on-air talent which is due to report
in the next few weeks or months. The | 0:11:35 | 0:11:42 | |
BBC is certainly doing a lot on
this. That clearly is not enough for | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
Carrie Gracie. And crucially, it is
not enough for around 200 other | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
people who have made formal
complaint and some of whom may take | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
legal action. That is where this
gets nasty. It is on the front page | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
of the Times tomorrow, and the BBC's
reputation could be tarnished. Amol | 0:11:56 | 0:12:01 | |
Rajan, thanks for being so open with
us. Pleasure! | 0:12:01 | 0:12:09 | |
Hollywood season is about to get
under way with the 75th Golden | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
Globes. It is the first major
ceremony since Hollywood was hit by | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
sexual harassment scandals. Michelle
Williams stars in one nominated | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
film, all the money in the world,
which was reshot following | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
allegations about Kevin Spacey, who
had a major role in the movie. The | 0:12:23 | 0:12:28 | |
BBC's James Cook has been speaking
to her about the experience. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:35 | |
It was the movie that never stopped
shooting. You know, we went through | 0:12:35 | 0:12:41 | |
a lot with the film and we realised
that this thing that we loved and | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
loved working on together was going
to be for naught, and there were | 0:12:44 | 0:12:49 | |
some sadness around that, more
sadness around the allegations and | 0:12:49 | 0:12:56 | |
the pain that has been caused. And
then this phone call came, this | 0:12:56 | 0:13:06 | |
late-breaking idea of how to save
the film, rewrite the story, do the | 0:13:06 | 0:13:13 | |
right thing, and I was exuberantly
and immediately on board for it. I | 0:13:13 | 0:13:22 | |
think for a lot of audiences, they
have been disappointed, upset to | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
watch some of their idols fall in
terms of Kevin Spacey and others. As | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
someone who works with him, how
disappointed were you? That was one | 0:13:30 | 0:13:35 | |
of the things I found most upsetting
about being in a film that he was | 0:13:35 | 0:13:41 | |
also in, is that films, because they
are larger than life, they glorify | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
people. I couldn't bear the thought
of being in a movie that glorified | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
somebody who had hurt people. In
these ways. I didn't want anything | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
to do with it. I wouldn't have gone
to promote it. I wouldn't have | 0:13:53 | 0:13:59 | |
talked about it, because I would
have felt like it is not the right | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
thing to do for those people that
have been hurt. They don't need to | 0:14:02 | 0:14:07 | |
be re-traumatised by seeing this
movie come out and seeing big | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
posters and flashy advertisements.
It's not appropriate, so I didn't | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
want any part of it. Is what is
happening in Hollywood a permanent, | 0:14:13 | 0:14:19 | |
significant change, do you think?
There's no way of knowing. I can't | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
tell the future, I can only tell you
what I hope and what I know to be | 0:14:23 | 0:14:29 | |
true, which is that I don't know a
single person who hasn't taken this | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
on as though it's another job.
Everyone is working day and night to | 0:14:34 | 0:14:41 | |
create the kind of change that will
be permanent. Our hope is to hand | 0:14:41 | 0:14:46 | |
our daughter is a different world. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |

This is BBC World News Today. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
The latest headlines: | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
A tanker is on fire in the East
Tennessee and spilling oil, the | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
worst disaster of its kind to 32
years. An explosion in Syria's | 0:16:24 | 0:16:29 | |
north-western city of Idlib has
killed at least 18 people. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:34 | |
The German Chancellor Angela Merkel
has begun what may be her last | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
chance to build a stable government
coalition and end months | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
of political stalemate
following September's election. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
As she went into the first
days of talks in Berlin, | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
she said she was optimistic -
but admitted there is still | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
a lot of work ahead. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:49 | |
This is the country's longest-ever
period of coalition-building. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
For more on the talks,
I am joined from Dresden | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
by Ulrich Brueckner, | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
a Political Analyst and Professor
in European Studies | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
at Stanford University. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
How critical are these talks?
Germany is of course key to a stable | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
Europe. People of course tend to use
big words like crisis in a situation | 0:17:07 | 0:17:15 | |
that has never happened in Germany
before. But if we look at the | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
situation in the country is in, no
one is really very worried. People | 0:17:20 | 0:17:26 | |
are surprised that we are in such a
situation, but there are no signs of | 0:17:26 | 0:17:31 | |
getting nervous or anxious. It is
more like a form of irritation that | 0:17:31 | 0:17:38 | |
it takes so long and it is hard to
predict what the next steps will be. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:44 | |
How much is the refugee and migrant
questions still a key political | 0:17:44 | 0:17:50 | |
issue? Well, it was an important one
for the elections and the result we | 0:17:50 | 0:17:57 | |
had, like AFP for the first time
being represented in parliament, | 0:17:57 | 0:18:06 | |
speaks for itself. But the number
went down drastically, not because | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
of the situation in Germany, but
because of the responses from the | 0:18:09 | 0:18:16 | |
countries on the migration route. It
is therefore still be relevant in | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
the room and there are a lot of
discussions about this, but it is | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
certainly not just a question for
Germany. It can only be solved on a | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
European level and therefore, we
first have to get our act together | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
and then convince the other European
Union member states to find and | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
integrate an immigration solution
for all of us. About how much is the | 0:18:35 | 0:18:40 | |
question of policy on refugees and
taxation part of what will have to | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
be negotiated now? As I said, we are
not in the situation of crisis, | 0:18:43 | 0:18:52 | |
neither on a political level,
because the constitution forces that | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
we will have a government no matter
what. When we look at the migration | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
numbers, it is not so much a
question of how many people | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
currently come to Germany, but the
much longer lasting and more | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
pressing question of how we can
manage to integrate them | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
successfully. This is not something
that will be decided in the next | 0:19:08 | 0:19:14 | |
elections or in the coming year, but
it is more a question of a | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
generation or two. Professor Ulrich
Brueckner, thanks so much. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:26 | |
Pressure also on the British Prime
Minister, Theresa May - | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
who's confirmed there'll be
a cabinet reshuffle on Monday. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
The Labour opposition
has called the planned | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
reshuffle "little more
than a desperate PR exercise." | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
Here's our political
correspondent, Eleanor Garnier. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
A new year, perhaps a fresh
start after a torrid 2017 | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
in which Theresa May
lost her majority in the general | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
election, faced a rebellion
from some of her own MPs, | 0:19:46 | 0:19:51 | |
was forced to deal with Cabinet
resignations and even had | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
to sack her second-in-command. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
It means she starts
the year with a reshuffle. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
Well, no prizes for
guessing, Andrew, that | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
obviously, Damian Green's
departure before Christmas means | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
some changes do have to be made. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
Speaking exclusively to the BBC,
the Prime Minister has made clear | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
that she wants her government to be
about more than just Brexit, | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
insisting she is in listening mode. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:23 | |
One of the clear messages we got
was that there are a number | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
of areas in which people | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
were concerned about
what we were proposing. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:29 | |
So just as we have looked at issues
on school funding, tuition fees, | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
on housing and we're taking forward
approaches in relation to that, | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
on this issue of foxhunting, what I
can say is that there won't be | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
a vote during this Parliament. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:41 | |
And on the environment,
plans for 50 million more trees, | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
a push to win over new voters
and those who've drifted away. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:49 | |
But the new year has already
brought in old problems, | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
under pressure on rising
train fares, and claims | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
that this winter crisis
is the toughest yet for the NHS. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
The NHS has actually been better
prepared for this winter pressure | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
than it has been before. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
You mentioned operations
being postponed. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
That was part of the plan. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
Of course, we want to ensure that
those operations can be reinstated | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
as soon as possible, but it's
about making sure that those | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
who most urgently need care are able
to get that treatment | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
when they need it. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
Labour's blamed Government cuts
for the problems in the NHS | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
and warned the Prime Minister
against promoting the Health | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
Secretary in this week's reshuffle. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:31 | |
She hasn't got a plan
to get those people off | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
the trolleys in corridors, | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
those elderly people
this freezing January, | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
being treated in ambulances. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:39 | |
She's got no plan for them. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:40 | |
Her only plan, apparently,
is to promote this Health Secretary. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
She should be demoting
this Health Secretary. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
If she promotes this
Health Secretary tomorrow, | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
it is a betrayal of those 75,000
people in the back of ambulances. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:55 | |
The Prime Minister said today she's
not a quitter, and she'll want | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
and need the best possible team
around her to get her | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
through what many predict
will be a tough year ahead. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
Eleanor Garnier, BBC
News, Westminster. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:13 | |
Let's check on the the sport. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
Holders Arsenal have been knocked
out of the English FA Cup by second | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
tier Nottingham Forest in a 4-2
upset at the City Ground. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
It's the first time since
Arsene Wenger took over | 0:22:22 | 0:22:28 | |
the managerial reins at the Gunners
in 1996 that they've been | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
knocked out at this stage. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:31 | |
The Frenchman was forced to watch
the tie from the stands as he served | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
the first of a three-match touchline
ban handed down by the Football | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
Association and he saw his side
give away two penalties. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:44 | |
It was very frustrating and
unfortunately, it was a case on top | 0:22:44 | 0:22:52 | |
of that to see the team lose because
we played against a very good | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
Nottingham Forest team who were
sharp and focused. They were | 0:22:56 | 0:23:05 | |
decisive and overall, our
performance was not good enough | 0:23:05 | 0:23:06 | |
today to win the game. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
No such problems for
Arsenal's North London rivals | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
Tottenham as Harry Kane scored twice
in a 3-0 win over Wimbledon. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
Jan Vertonghen claimed the last
goal, with all of them coming | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
in the second half at Wembley
against their third | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
tier opponents. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:26 | |
So confirmation of those results,
while Premier League West Ham have | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
been forced into a replay
after they were held to a goalless | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
draw at Shrewsbury Town,
who are two divisions below them. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
Goalkepper Joe Hart described
the Hammers performance as terrible | 0:23:33 | 0:23:38 | |
while Leeds United were knocked out
by a side two divisions below them, | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
going down 2-1 at Newport County. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:46 | |
Barcelona have been showing
off their new signing | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
Phillipe Coutinho ahead of him
officially putting pen | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
to paper on Monday. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
The 25-year-old Brazilian is moving
from Liverpool for a fee | 0:23:52 | 0:23:58 | |
thought to be in excess
of $190 million. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
Since arriving at Anfield five years
ago, he's scored 54 goals | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
in over 200 appearances,
hitting double figures in each | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
of the last three seasons. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:06 | |
Coutinho was the club's joint top
scorer in the Premier League | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
last term with 13 goals. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
Coutinho being shown off comes
after the Catalans' 3-0 victory | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
at home to Levante, which means
they're nine points clear | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
of second placed Atletico. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:26 | |
Real Madrid are currently at 2-2. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:36 | |
Real started the match 17
points adrift of Barca. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:46 | |
Let's move on to cricket
now, where the fifth | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
and final day is due to get under
way inside the next two hours | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
in Sydney with host Australia
heading for a 4-0 Ashes victory. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
England will resume on 93 for 4
in their second innings, | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
still 210 days behind -
after Australia had | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
declared on 649 for 7. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:00 | |
The Marsh brothers, Shaun
and Mitchell, both hit centuries | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
on what was an extremely hot day
at the SCG, becoming the third | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
set of brothers to do so for
Australia in the same innings. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:14 | |
That is your sport for now. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:22 | |
A French singer who rose to pop by
and -- to pop fame in the 1960s has | 0:25:22 | 0:25:29 | |
died. She was born in October 1947
into a musical family | 0:25:29 | 0:25:36 | |
