10:33 pm
in advance. the daily telegraph is saying made to appoint no deal minister, rather than secretary of state ? minister, rather than secretary of state? according to the telegraph that will be steve baker, a leading leave campaigner, his number two at the brexit department at the moment. eurosceptics believe the brexit department at the moment. eurosce ptics believe that the brexit department at the moment. eurosceptics believe that appointing ano eurosceptics believe that appointing a no deal minister will help britain when a better deal on brexit as it was show the eu mrs may is serious about walking away. i think she is serious about that already and not appointing a new minister won't affect what brussels will think about the exit or negotiation. but it gives further reassurance about appointing mps on their own benchers who are concerned that this is all going to go a bit soft and not having a weird white and —— red white and blue brexit but something different instead. there's been all sorts of shades and our
10:34 pm
sta ble been all sorts of shades and our stable of ministers to deal with. sta ble stable of ministers to deal with. stable brexit. people be watching the movement in the cabinet. theresa may is a very busy woman, she is dealing with the health crisis as well. the big four seems to be staying put, everyone wonders where they will go next but she is opting to keep boris as well as the chancellor, and amber rudd and gavin williamson. the focus will be who is leading the brexit team. the telegraph under the impression that the defence secretary said big gun of the cabinet, he is not. it's where he's come from as well. he's the man with a tarantula as is and he? if you have to have a chance to intimidate, you're not intimidating. you're right, in a couple of months
10:35 pm
ago, there was a lot of chatter about boris might be moved into a brexit role ie out of the foreign office. it's very clear he is now staying in the foreign office. she was strong enough to reshuffle the team but not sack borisjohnson. she's not got that much many pieces to move around? the guardian says may is trying to assert control, but it's seems to bejustine greening in education. and patrick who has wanted to stand down after the disastrous election. the mooted move forjeremy hunt, if ever, people will be looking at health. whoever ta kes will be looking at health. whoever takes that basson on will be jumping into the deep end of the pool. but alsojeremy into the deep end of the pool. but also jeremy hunt has into the deep end of the pool. but alsojeremy hunt has been in post longer than any health secretary i can remember. met theresa may rates him and wants him in the role of number two
10:36 pm
him and wants him in the role of numbertwo in the him and wants him in the role of number two in the government, a deputy prime minister, coordinating government. will she have the strength or will she think it's a good time to move jeremy hunt? we will find out tomorrow. some of this is about getting someone in an taking theirjob, giving them a worse job than someone doesn't want to take it and resign. there may well be some of that. people feeling sore and upset. the metro, nhs delayed would have killed me, mrs may. this is andrew marr who survived a stroke some time ago and apply minister was on his programme morning. it's cracking television if nothing else. theresa may clearly got a health crisis, we've see most damning videos and photographs lying on hospital and corridor floors. it's an easy attack by the opposition, she think she wants to look at this but she's faced with a
quote
10:37 pm
very high—profile presenter with a very high—profile presenter with a very personal and meaningful anecdotes saying it was life or death for him if the crisis had happened now, he may have possibly not survive. that's a pretty striking blow to make at the prime minister face striking blow to make at the prime ministerface to face. striking blow to make at the prime minister face to face. how is that asa minister face to face. how is that as a viewer? we are often told you don't make yourself the story. the first one is that the vast majority of the voters don't expect to see andrew marr on sunday morning with the interview with the prime minister, which is why it's interesting it's resonated onto the front pages. one leads on what the pm said in the mast beat. i take your point, but theresa may does not have human reaction. you say your aunt could have died and she stares at you impassively. the idea she will erode back... what is she supposed to say other than i'm terribly sorry? —— she will demote
10:38 pm
it's a very difficult line for a prime minister to come back on but showing some sort of empathy might at some point be helpful as a piece of advice. she saying she's listening to the voters, i'm not sure i've ever heard a politician say they weren't. i disagree tony, i think someone like andrew marr, we don't realise how high—profile the likes of them are, you are in people's living rooms. people were affected by andrew marr suffering as he did and him going out and say that there is a very strong personal statement. i agree with tony that she doesn't demote on demand and she isa she doesn't demote on demand and she is a bit similar to the queen in that sense, she probably recognises a stand 100 miles away. she doesn't still weeping with him on television is going to be the answer. cordial disagreement, that's what we like.
10:39 pm
i've got trainers on. the daily express, britain in grip of killers glue. —— killerflu. —— killer flu. i —— killerflu. iwas —— killerflu. i was wondering whether metro is still on the screen. new fears the outbreak could be worse for 50 years. we have the strains of flu which can be epidemics, pandemic. they can be and the thing to remember is the most specific groups of the size you are vulnerable, some of the headlines of the writing around this is a bit apocalyptic interview the bid daily express's readership tends to be over 60 so this could be a serious health risk. we get these strains of flu that come in from time to time, not being an epidemiologist, not much more i can say. the flu jabs are much more i can say. the flu jabs a re often much more i can say. the flu jabs are often different types of flu. sometimes the jabs run short.
10:40 pm
are often different types of flu. sometimes the jabs run shortlj remember once i sometimes the jabs run shortlj remember once i was sometimes the jabs run shortlj remember once i was in romania on holiday, somewhere no one had been, i found that the only bit of avian flu to worry about was there. it was a strange holiday. the daily star has a map. a big red map. can ijust borrow that please? it's after nine o'clock don't need to see a woman who's forgotten to put her on. there you go. —— that her vest on. here's the map with some of london and quite a dorset. republic of ireland doesn't exist! effective areas making the point that the whole country will be affected. it's apocalyptic character is presented, but there are alerts the country, it
10:41 pm
isa but there are alerts the country, it is a concern. and not to shake hands of people. shaking hands has been axed by hospital. at one point they said it's been banned which is concerning, the handshake brand. said it's been banned which is concerning, the handshake brandlj think we should all be vigilant because we touch to stations but fixing of and bus if there's one thing to take this from deceiving its don't sneeze and don't touch yourface. from deceiving its don't sneeze and don't touch your face. don't wash your hands all the time. regularly. marketers are floor manager the night and they always have the alcohol wipes so we have the table wipes down —— mart is our floor manager. finishing with the times, bbc accused of breaking the law as star quits over pay. this is my colleague, friend, china editor
10:42 pm
carrie gracie, appointed by the bbc, the first time they had a china editor in recognition of the importance of the china story. carrie gracie is fluent in mandarin. she says she can't carry on her post because the pay system is this territory at the bbc. it's a big story, we are sitting on the bbc‘s studio talking about is as we should. she feels she has a strong case, she wrote a public letter to the licence payer saying be warned, the licence payer saying be warned, the bbc may take on a case it cannot possibly win. those are fighting words the someone coming back to work within the corporation from being out in the field. it comes at a time ever so much attention in all matters in this. it sits beneath a photo of the times movement which is happening at the movement while
10:43 pm
women are fed up of being mistreated in the film industry, with sexual harassment and inequality clearly, this is a huge widening story and she has leg put as a figurehead. the bbc will say and is saying that we are carrying out reviews, we have looked at a variety of levels, they admit to having agenda pay gap of 10% which is a lot less than a lot of companies. but that compares average female pay. it was yesterday we saw some of the biggest companies in the country admitting that they had huge gender gaps, easyjet had 50%. what is happening that as pilots, many of whom are male, has played more than cabin crew who are sometimes telemetry women. it is illegal to pay women less than men. i'm surprised it's
10:44 pm
taken until 2018 for the bbc to realise that and have a review. i'm not criticising the bbc exclusively because this is a culture across our country, across private corporations, bbc corporations, across every sector from corporations, bbc corporations, across every sector from the law... it's ingrained, i understand why she has done this but i think it's also interesting that the north american editor is paid more thanjeremie boga middle east editor. so does the bbc think that the north america is more important than the middle east? it's about how do you evaluate a job? different people will argue the different things. where a proper independentjob evaluations carried out as it can be and should be glad that's where you can work out whether people are doing the same or like work. what you need is transparency. to enforce that. one of the problems with this is there isa of the problems with this is there
10:45 pm
is a history of secret handshakes and deals, especially when you have staff members and you have so—called talent to work through agents to get their fees and to negotiate. we are seeing a shift, unfortunately for carrie gracie she is probably going to be one of these people that is having to take the knocks as miriam from countries i was before that. having to take the knocks as miriam from countries i was before thatm is conjugated and difficult about right. that's it for the papers this hour — we'll be back at 11.30. thank you tony and caroline, coming up next it's the travel show
