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. use the hashtag #victorialive. if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. 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 beenin bearing mind, patrick mcloughlin has been in government since mrs
9:03 am
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 wa nt tram lines to brexit and they don't want any further change to answer for their approach in this crucial
9:04 am
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 thing to watch is the downing street twitterfeed. 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
9:06 am
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 notjust 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
9:07 am
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
9:08 am
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 similarjobs 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.

"it must have reawakened the most appalling memories" — the words of thejustice secretary, david liddington, who is expected
9:14 am
to make a statement to mps today over the decision to release the black cab rapistjohn 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 injail 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, thejustice secretary
9:15 am
is making a statement in the commons today. what do your clients who are victims of worboys, want to hearfrom 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 wa nt to 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 have greater input into the parole boa rd system have greater input into the parole board system when considering release of high—profile offenders such asjohn worboys, and also greater transparency within that pa role greater transparency within that parole board greater transparency within that pa role boa rd system. what have your clients said to you about his imminent release? they're absolutely shocked, appalled, terrified. many found out through
9:16 am
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 who found out via any official channel and so theyjust 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 yea rs 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?|j 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 againstjohn worboys which concluded in 2013 and as late as 2013, he was still
9:17 am
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 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
9:18 am
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 me bring in clare waxman, do you agree thejustice secretary me bring in clare waxman, do you agree the justice secretary when me bring in clare waxman, do you agree thejustice secretary when he stands up in the commons today, owes the victims an apology?” 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 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
9:19 am
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, there is a critical point of a victim'sjourney, 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 isa they will be safe upon his release. it is a frightening time. so we have transparency, well we hope to 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 pa role is not the responsibility of the
9:20 am
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. ithink 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,
9:21 am
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. backin 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
9:22 am
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? women who have been the victims of sexual assault and violence ?m women who have been the victims of sexual assault and violence? it is notjust the after care, sexual assault and violence? it is not just the after care, it sexual assault and violence? it is notjust the after care, it is 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 but it's lip service, we need to go furtherand fund a but it's lip service, we need to go further and fund a properjustice 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 is london‘s first victims‘ commissioner and clare harrison from slater and gordon lawyers. they represent 11 ofjohn worboys worboys‘ victims. when thejustice 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
9:23 am
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 yourjob to explain to our audience why they should care about this cabinet reshuffle. well, first of all, we can see what
9:24 am
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 isa that meant she couldn‘t do that. he is a little bit more apprehensive about the path for brexit that she wa nts to ta ke 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 0ffice 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
9:25 am
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 isa 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 bya remainer. basically, they have to be replaced by a remainer. it basically, they have to be replaced bya remainer. it is a real basically, they have to be replaced by a remainer. it is a realjuggling 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 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
9:26 am
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 thejunior top positions. who really is looking at the junior ranks of the front bench? 0nly 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 thejunior 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 yea rs‘ 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 much of a problem is that for someone like theresa may?“ 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
9:27 am
people from privileged backgrounds, male, middle—aged, white, itjust 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 10096 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
9:28 am
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 ortheir rail extra money the government has put in or their railfares 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
9:29 am
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 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 tory party. how can she promote someone who has overseen the crisis in railand we someone who has overseen the crisis in rail and we saw the fares going up 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 much money? is it real all about brexit? ithink it is. i go back 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 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.

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 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

9:36 am
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, itook 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...
9:37 am
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! atjust 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.
9:38 am
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 wasjust pretending. 0h, 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,
9:39 am
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'sjust... i'mjust, you know, i'mjust 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.
9:40 am
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? 0h, 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 ijust 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.
9:41 am
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?
9:42 am
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,
9:43 am
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 herjob, she was going to become a nurse, she did everything. then i was born, so i haven‘tjust ruined my life, i‘ve ruined hers. you haven‘t ruined her life.
9:44 am
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." ijust want people to live life. whilst there is still no cure
9:45 am
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
9:46 am
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 ofa 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 but he does blister with his skin just byjust 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
9:47 am
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 isa haven‘t got his skin sorted and it is a battle. what his future long—term? 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
9:48 am
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 their30s 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
9:49 am
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 an infected baby to help in dig know suss and pre—implantation diagnosis so we can suss and pre—implantation diagnosis so we can take the egg and sperm and ta ke so we can take the egg and sperm and take a few cells of the fertilised 999 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. 0ne 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 genein cousins and that means if there is a gene in the family it will come together with a member of the family
9:50 am
so 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 beenin 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 ta ke 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 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
9:51 am
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 read messages from people who watched ourfilm. lisa williams says, "my son has a life limiting
9:52 am
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 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
9:53 am
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
9:54 am
harvey weinstein. 0ur 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 pa rt i guess, the most touching, moving part of the golden globe awards was the speech by 0prah part of the golden globe awards was the speech by oprah winfrey. 0prah winfrey has documented her sexual harassment throughout her career and at the early stage of her life in particular and she used her award,
9:55 am
she won an award. she used that platform to make an incredibly power speech that brought a lot of tears toa speech that brought a lot of tears to a lot of people and we can take a look now. sol 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? 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 seea 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,
9:56 am
that changed civil rights activism in america, when she was gang raped bya number of 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 we re 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
9:57 am
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 and frances mcdermott. she won best drama. iwould recommend it 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 0ldman 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
9:58 am
globes are the awards that are tipped for the oscars. so everyone is looking to see what could be the 0scars. 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 they? they are a big clue. three billboards, iwould be they? they are a big clue. three billboards, i would be surprised if it didn‘t sweep the board. 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 backin 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 m, was watching with a black dress code in, iguess, opposition 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
9:59 am
kind ofjokes. ifeel 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 a good tone. it was all not in horrificjest, 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 ina we will bring you the news and sport in a moment. 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
10:00 am
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
10:01 am
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 atla ntic 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
10:02 am
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, againafair 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.

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. oprah winfrey used her acceptance speech for an outstanding contribution award to speak out against intolerance and abuse. three women have accused the australian actor craig mclachlan
10:05 am

10:06 am
than 100 women in his london cab, has served ten years in prison after being convicted of 19 offences against 12 women. a parole board approved his release, saying they were "confident" he won‘t reoffend. and abuse lawyer representing the victims of worboys told this programme but questions of —— were raised over whether he is ready for release. i think we have real concerns that he is a very very manipulative man, that he may have manipulated the parole board and the powers that be into convincing them that he is safe to be released. and what has changed? has he admitted his guilt or not? because if he has admitted his guilt, he has admitted a modus operandi which involves the deliberate luring into his cab of vulnerable women, the drugging of those women, and then potentially sexual assault or rape of women. 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.

10:10 am
enough, and they deserve to win it. we've got to give them credit. you know, they are well within their rights to be over the moon about it. ido rights to be over the moon about it. i do think it has been closer than 4-0. i think, i do think it has been closer than 4—0. ithink, you know, we've been on top in some games if not all of the game at some stage, we just haven't capitalised on the key moment. arsenal have been knocked out of the fa cup in the third round stage for the first time in 22 yea rs. stage for the first time in 22 years. they were well beaten, 4—2, by nottingham forest at the city ground. the defender scored the best goal of the game. that made it 2—1 to the house. the championship side secured all three points from the penalty spot, their second of the game. a valuable win for nottingham forest, who only last week sacked their manager. the fourth—round draw is live on bbc two from 7pm tonight. video assistant referee technology will be used in football in england for the first time in a competitive clu b for the first time in a competitive club match night. it will be used

10:12 am
a hip injury, edmund would be the highest ranked briton in the singles should he play. that‘s all the sport for now, victoria. geis, jess, thank you. it is 10:11am, welcome to the programme. “— you. it is 10:11am, welcome to the programme. —— cheers. theresa may has begun making changes to her front—bench team after losing three cabinet ministers at the end of last year. she‘ll be hoping the moves can inject some fresh life into her government and get her on the front foot after a torrid 2017. so, what should the new team look like, and what message should it send to the country? let‘s go live to downing street and talk to norman smith, who is there. patrick mcloughlin, the conservative party chairman, is to lose his job. you told us that an hour ago. who are the hot favourites to take over? that‘s a very good question. i suspect it will be somebody who mrs may has complete faith in. she has shown herself to be the sort of prime minister who promote those she absolutely trust. it could be somebody like brandon lewis, the
10:13 am
immigration minister. he has worked in the home office with her. possibly, we don‘t know. but the fa ct possibly, we don‘t know. but the fact that patrick mcloughlin has been elbowed out of the wake does tell us the story of this reshuffle, which is clearly mrs may wants to get rid of some of those ministers who have been around the block a few times, maybe been in cabinet 115, six yea rs, never times, maybe been in cabinet 115, six years, never reached highest positions. and maybe got as far as they are going to go. patrick mcloughlin, i mean, he‘s been a minister since... the late 1980s, since mrs thatcher. so he really has been here a long time. we can expect some middle ranking names to be moved to one side. crucially, however, this does not look like the sort of reshuffle that is really going to make the headlines, with big names being axed. all of the signs are that the figures like borisjohnson, like signs are that the figures like boris johnson, like amber signs are that the figures like borisjohnson, like amber rudd, like philip hammond, they will stay. as do the brexit ministers david davis
10:14 am
and liam fox. we saw david davis earlier popping into work and we saw borisjohnson popping earlier popping into work and we saw boris johnson popping into earlier popping into work and we saw borisjohnson popping into work too, that suggests to me that they are not going to move. what we seem to be shaping up for today is a kind of mid—ranking reshuffle, not wholesale butchery but a little bit of calming here and there are. down is pretty brutal, the way you describe it. he wells is likely to you so much —— who else is likely to lose their job? the names being cast around justine greening, the education secretary, greg clark, the business secretary, greg clark, the business secretary, andrea leadsom may be as leader of the house. they have all been imposed. time. but getting rid of them or moving them to one side, it carries risks. justine greening, comprehensive educated education secretary, greg clark‘s father was a mock man, i think. patrick mcloughlin, a former mine. —— was a milkman. these people do not come
10:15 am
from what might be regarded as a traditional, privileged background, which makes it harder to move them to one side. but if you are going to protect the big beasts, you‘ve got to find some space somewhere, because you get the feeling there is real pressure building up on the backbenches from new tory mps who are putting up their hands and saying, hey, what about us, give us a go. mrs may has to make some space somewhere. it is those long—serving middle ranking ministers who are looking vulnerable. thank you, norman. so, watch of the new team look like and what message should it centre the country? —— what should the new team look like. let‘s ask two of the party‘s mps who‘ve not yet made it into a ministerialjob. rachel maclean was elected in 2015 as the mp for redditch. kwasi kwarteng was elected in 2010. he‘s the mp for spelthorne in surrey, and works for chancellor philip hammond. he became his parliamentary private sec after the 2017 general election. welcome, both of you. according to commentators, the pm wants more mps from ethnic minorities and more women in hertop team. are either you of expecting a call?
10:16 am
i‘m not expecting anything. i have beenin i‘m not expecting anything. i have been in parliament for eight years now. i have been focussed in the last six months on the treasury. i love myjob. there is important house of commons business today. there is a customs bill today. you would like promotion? well, i have been around for ap long time. i have seen been around for ap long time. i have seen lots of reshuffles. i have seen people coming and i have seen people going and the best way to prepare for a reshuffle is to focus on the job in hand. you would like a promotion? i would like to serve the government in whatever way i can. who is this reshuffle for? well, i think it is important to move the party forward. any organisation to stay strong has to change. it has to change with the times. we had the election and we need to move forward from there. i think it is very important to reflect the country that we're governing today. so you are expecting more women, you
10:17 am
are expecting women from ethnic minorities we have a lot of mps from ethnic minorities and women as well, but we have a lot of talent in the party and there are people there that could add more to our party and to the country. you work for the chancellor as i said, what does it say about the wea kness said, what does it say about the weakness of mrs may‘s position that she can‘t sack him and she has wa nted she can‘t sack him and she has wanted to do that since before the last election? the reason she is not going to sack the chancellor is he is doing a greatjob. he has the trust of people in the city and people across the business community respect him. i speak to these people all the time and he is someone who is seen to be a very clear, commanding figure. he has got a good grasp of detail and that‘s why he is going to stay in hisjob. grasp of detail and that‘s why he is going to stay in his job. but, everybody says because of the wea kness everybody says because of the weakness of her position, losing the majority at the general election, thatis majority at the general election, that is the reason why she can‘t move people like philip hammond, like boris johnson? in terms of what you were saying about weakness, i‘ve
10:18 am
read today that the reshuffle is a sign of strength. if we look at where we were six months ago, people we re where we were six months ago, people were casting doubt as to whether she was going to stay. what has happened is the position is very much stabilised, she has led from the front and i think this reshuffle is a sign of the fact that she is taking responsibility and leading and that‘s what the country expects. most of the cabinet went to private school followed by oxford or cambridge, as did you, is that a problem for mrs may and her cabinet? i don‘t know about the statistics, about 0xford or cambridge. i don‘t know about the statistics, about oxford or cambridge.” i don‘t know about the statistics, about oxford or cambridge. i looked them up yesterday. the important thing is you get the right people doing the right job. thing is you get the right people doing the rightjob. there is too much fixation about gender and race, about that sort of thing... much fixation about gender and race, about that sort of thing. .. too much fixation about background, gender and race. diversity is crucial, but i don‘t think we should get too hung up i don‘t think we should get too hung up about that, we need to look at what the best people can do and what is the most appropriate position for them and their talents. what about
10:19 am
being representative of the country at large? we do have that. if you look at the conservative party as a whole, there is much more diversity than was the case. when i was fighting my first seat in 2005, there were no ethnic minority mps that year. on the conservative side. we have had a huge stride. so, i think the conservative party has a good story to tell on that and i think that diversity is important. is it think that diversity is important. isita think that diversity is important. is it a problem for you that there aren‘t that many working class cabinet ministers there are people who come from that background that come from that background. most went to private school followed by oxford or cambridge. i went to a comprehensive school and a lot of other people do well. i'm talking about the cabinet? if they come from about the cabinet? if they come from a working class background or a different background, we have to reflect the country. when you think back to mrs may on the steps of downing street when she took over as prime minister and talked about the
10:20 am
burning injustices and talked about people in poverty and black people and women and people with mental health problems then surely she needs a team to led flect the diversity of the country and she doesn‘t have that particularly at the moment and not even potentially with the changes she is about to make? you're right to say, it is about the team. so she can't do it on her own. she has to be supported bay strong team and because you are not necessarily from a working class background doesn't mean you can't have sympathy. as mps we all see people from our constituency day in and day out from all walks of life and day out from all walks of life and being a politician is about having that empathy and having the right policies. you will have seen and heard the comments of the windsor council leader calling for the police to take action against aggressive begging. you will see have the promotion of the conservative supporting journalist toby young to a public body despite
10:21 am
talking about women‘s breasts and other grim things. don‘t those two things send the message out that the conservative party is a nasty party. i think what toby young said was unacceptable and the prime minister made that point yesterday. whether it can affect his ability to do the job, is another question. of course, these remarks are not helpful. they do not add in, enhance the reputation of the conservative party, but what i would say in response some of the things you said earlier is the party has made huge improvement and is getting better. and as i said, ten years ago we had very few representatives from across diverse community and we‘re getting better. have we reached the point of perfection? no, we can improve. theresa may just perfection? no, we can improve. theresa mayjust arriving at downing street ready to reshuffle. i‘m asking about the perception though, the perception and those examples i have given you? i have accepted they don‘t enhance the party. there has been massive improvement in my time in the party but we can always do
10:22 am
more. i completely accept that. rachel, what would you say about those two examples and what message they send out about the conservative party in 2018? those comments are u na cce pta ble party in 2018? those comments are unacceptable and theresa may has also said the same thing, but we need to look beyond what happens with respect in the bbc and in westminster to the policies that make a difference to people's lives and actually what they care about and actually what they care about and what makes a difference to their life isn't so much those things, it is the things they see in the country, they see brexit being delivered and us starting from a position of strength and they see real improvement in jobs. position of strength and they see real improvement injobs. those are the things they care about. they see parts of the nhs crumbling despite the extra money that‘s been put in. railway fares going up dramatically since the conservatives came in in 2010 and a lack of affordable housing? well in redditch we have seen an housing? well in redditch we have seen an improvement in the a&e performance since last year. that's not a consolation to those a&e departments that are really struggling? of course. ithink, departments that are really struggling? of course. i think, you know, the prime minister has been very clear that we always need to
10:23 am
get it right for everybody. but there is more preparation that's gonein there is more preparation that's gone in this year compared to last year and for many years, there is significant government funding gone in. truth is the demand... not enough according to any nhs boss. well, the demand is rising all the time. invest to meet the demand. that‘s what the government is mitted to do. if you remember the general election, 2015. .. well, to do. if you remember the general election, 2015... well, i remember the budget. can we put in more? should we put in more? there is a case to put in more money as you know. but i think the government has said that we will commit to £10 billion more across the next few yea rs billion more across the next few years and that‘s enough to meet some of the challenges. now, will it meet all the challenges? maybe not, but it isa all the challenges? maybe not, but it is a step in the right direction. 0k, it is a step in the right direction. ok, thank you both. still to come: last night‘s golden globes was dominated by a campaign by hollywood stars against sexual harassment. we‘ll be asking whether this marks a change within the film industry. commuters on the rail network
10:24 am
are facing disruption this morning, as staff at five train firms begin a fresh wave of strikes in separate disputes over "rail safety". rmt members at northern, merseyrail, south western railway, southern and greater anglia will also be staging a further two days of industrial action on wednesday and friday. our correspondent ian palmer is at waterloo station. so what are commuters saying to you this morning, ian? well, this morning i have to say early this morning, they were saying that the train journey into london as very difficult. one commuter told me that she felt like a sardine up on her journey in and two or three other people said the same thing. others have said that theirjourney in was fine. in terms of south western railway which operates out of
10:25 am
waterloo station, the billboards are not showing any cal sell lations, but —— cancellations but the commuters are experiencing one or two problems. the reason why south western railway operates 1500 services a day and it is saying it hopes to put on 70% of its timetable. that‘s 1150 so—called cancellations. the strike started today. it will finish at midnight. there is another strike on wednesday and another one followed for friday. where there are difficulties on the rail network, there will be replacement buses so, commuters coming in to work and obviously going home tonight will have to be very patient. and what is it all about? it's and what is it all about? it‘s all about who closes and opens the train doors. now, train operating companies want drivers with new trains that are being
10:26 am
rolled out to operate the doors. the rmt says guards should be the ones who should open the doors because they have better lines of sight. they say that this is the only way of ensuring safety for passengers and ensuring that people who are vulnerable and disabled get the service they deserve. the rmt has written a letter to the secretary of state, chris grayling, asking for a railsummit state, chris grayling, asking for a rail summit between the rail operating companies and the government. so far, it has yet to get a response. thank you very much, ian. ian palmer at waterloo station in london. the film awards season got under way tonight in los angeles with the 75th golden globes, with stars of film and television taking a stand on the red carpet in a protest against sexual misconduct. claire foy accompanied by her co—star matt smith explained to james cook the importance of backing the campaign. it couldn't be more
10:27 am
important. i think it is a show of solidarity and it‘s not about what we‘re wearing. it‘s about what we‘ve got to say and who we are and it is a message to everyone around the world. it is just about saying look, we are all in it together. it‘s not just about our industry, it is about every industry and every woman, it is about saying we are behind you in whatever way it is. do you think this industry is genuinely changing? yeah. in what way? it can't, nothing changes about things not existing as they have done previously and there is way that i am going to be in a room and be treated the way people have been treated and not stand up and say i don‘t agree with that. the reason why that was able to take place is silence and people feeling like they can‘t and i don‘t feel like they can‘t and i don‘t feel like that anymore. i feel like i am able to stand up and i have someone ican go able to stand up and i have someone i can go and tell and i can talk to people and that‘s the messages. it‘s the only reason women are able to be treated like that is because of fear they won‘t be supported and this is
10:28 am
a message of saying, no, we will. let‘s speak now to film critic sandro monetti. showbiz and celebrity reporter in la covering his 20th golden globe awards. siobhan synott, is in glasgow. in the studio with us isjean rogers — a councillorfrom equity, which is the uk actors‘ union. what do you take from last night? never has there been an awards show of significance. hollywood stars have a real power when they get together and unite and speak under one voice. what claire foy was saying there was very much echoed by the stars in the room and you have got got a sense this was more than just sound bites. this was a movement. this is a turning of the page in history and hollywood was sending the message loud and clear. it found its champion in oprah winfrey, oprah gave the most stirring speech i‘ve ever heard on a hollywood stage. so i think, hollywood stage. so i think, hollywood was using its power for
10:29 am
good. they were speaking with one voice and they were saying time‘s up. do you agree? oh yes, very much. very much. there is a movement over here era, 50/50, which is equal representation for acstresses and overin representation for acstresses and over in hollywood, it'sjust wonderful to see them coming together and linking, not just wonderful to see them coming together and linking, notjust the business, but the way in which the business, but the way in which the business represents the public. and the public needs to see itself. oprah winfrey, if you remember, champ beyond equal representation. a wonderful film about you cannot be what you cannot see. so yes. and do you think it is definitely a turning of the page as sandro put it? is this the end of the conversation? no. no, no, this is a chance to have the proper conversation and be listened to and have a conversation where men as well as women are in the room talking about it. for so
10:30 am
many years representing equity i've beenin many years representing equity i've been in gunneder equality rooms full of women. we're all talking about it, but now is the time for the equity women's committee feel we've got that because we're going to prot moat a new casting concept at the british film institute on 18th january and we hope that that... what will be different about that? it will look at casting and talk about the neutral roles that are stereotyped, unconscious bias comes into it, you know. a man does this and a woman does that... actually, they don't any more. not necessarily. siobhan, let‘s talk about the winners. the golden globes are seen as a about the winners. the golden globes are seen as a pointed at the oscars, which are coming in march. what would you take out from those who won last night. assertion ronin
10:31 am
films, that seems to be in line for oscar notice. i wouldn‘t notice that there is an issue... this is the start of a conversation, you know. you notice that the directors category this year had no women at all, that was something that was noticed by natalie portman, she was introducing the all—male nominees, this was the year where we had patty jenkins directing wonder woman, and the director of the award—winning film, apparently it didn‘t merit a nomination for directing. still a long way to go. sundre, what did you think of the host, seth meyers? did he get it right with law entirely the wrong choice. surely on a night of female empowerment you should have a female host. another way that
10:32 am
women are underrepresented in hollywood is there is so few of them presenting award shows. it seems very strange to me. this was obviously a difficult gig. myers, and to his credit he did acknowledge their maybe should have been a female host. i give him credit not running away from the element in the room but running straight towards it —— the elephant in the room. he opened withjokes —— the elephant in the room. he opened with jokes about harvey weinstein and kevin spacey. yes, heeded, you know, an incredible job. but i think the organisers really should have gone for a female host. a note to the oscars, the grammys, the emmys, let's have more women on stage at award shows presenting as well as receiving. thank you all very much. time for the latest news. here‘s annita. the headlines... 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
10:33 am
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. oprah winfrey used her acceptance speech for an outstanding contribution award to speak out against intolerance and abuse. 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,
10:34 am
carrie gracie, has stepped down 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, she accused the bbc 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". that‘s a summary of the latest bbc news. let‘s get some sport withjessica. good morning, victoria. it‘s all over for england in the ashers, they have ended their poor series against australia with defeat in the fifth and final test in sydney. captain joe root was in hospital with a tummy bug. he was able to resume his innings but he had to retire on 58 with illness. england were all out for 180, losing the match by an innings and 123 runs, losing the series 4—0. fa cup holders arsenal are not doubt by
10:35 am
championship side nottingham forest, a much changed arsenal team will not be in the fourth round for this first time in 22 years lost 4—0. video assisted refereeing technology will make its debut in a competitive clu b will make its debut in a competitive club match in england might, it will be used for match changing situations in the third round tie between brighton and crystal palace. kyle edmund pulls out of the auckland open because of an ankle strain. he hurt his right ankle in the previous match and will have the injury assessed ahead of the all—important injury assessed ahead of the all—importa nt australian open, injury assessed ahead of the all—important australian open, which sta rts all—important australian open, which starts next week. thank you. the bbc‘s china editor, carrie gracie, has said the scale of support for her stepping down from the post shows there is a "depth and hungerfor equal pay". in an open letter to licence—fee payers, ms gracie, who has been at the bbc for more than 30 years, accused the corporation of having a "secretive and illegal pay culture". 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 hashtag, #istandwithcarrie,
quote
10:36 am
is now trending on social media. a bbc spokesman has said fairness in pay is "vital". carrie gracie has been presenting bbc radio 4‘s today programme this morning, and this is what she had to say about the reaction on social media. it‘s been very moving, actually. and there are two things that have struck me most about it, and moved me most... and one is, i think, the scale of feeling, notjust among bbc women, but also just more widely across the country, and also internationally. the support that i‘ve had in the last few hours over this, i think it does speak to the depth of hunger for an equal, fair and transparent pay system. and the other thing i‘d like to say is that what is lovely for me is that people are mentioning my china work. because i would not wish to be remembered forever as the person, the woman who complained about money, you know? i want to be remembered as the person who did some fine china work. with me is our arts correspondent, david sillito. in the interests of transparency, i
10:37 am
ama in the interests of transparency, i am a member of the bc women and signed the letter of support for carrie gracie. what is the context for this today? it was that the bbc announcement of top pay. it revealed, well, if you look at the top paid people on air, they were all men. two thirds of the best paid we re all men. two thirds of the best paid were men. and this revealed what this is all about, which is the fact that people don‘t know what people are being paid at the bbc at the top level. and carrie gracie, she found out that the other two international editors were being paid 50% more than her, and they were men. she has gone through a long process, and she said she was actually offered a pay rise but said what she wanted was equality, and she said that enough is enough. she has gone through what she says is a by xanthine procedure
10:38 am
of events and she can‘t go on with this any longer —— it buys in time procedure. she wants to return to a job paid the same as everybody else. if you want to draw out of this some wider things, this is notjust about the bbc, there are two issues here. one is, if you are going to have equality, if you are going to have fair pay,... equal pay, not fare paid. you need to know what other people are paid and what the rate for thejob is, people are paid and what the rate for the job is, and people are paid and what the rate for thejob is, and that has people are paid and what the rate for the job is, and that has to people are paid and what the rate for thejob is, and that has to be public. that is what the issue here is. people haven‘t known what other people are being paid and they haven‘t known what the rate for the job is, that is what this whole argument is about, this goes across companies across britain, they are all reducing their gender pay gap to the moment. the bbc said it is not the moment. the bbc said it is not the worst offender, 9% is its pay gap, and it will be revealing its pay review in the near future. so we will find out it sacked what the level of differences between men and
10:39 am
women at the top of the organisation so we women at the top of the organisation so we will find out exactly. david sillito, thank you. a new study suggests that women are twice as likely to die after a heart attack because they are not given the same treatment as men. researchers looked at patients in sweden over a 10—year period, and found that women were often not given all of the recommended treatments, but where women were given the right medical help, the survival rates rose to a similar level as men. whilst the study... it is thought there is a similar picture across europe. in the uk every year, more women die from heart disease than breast cancer. let‘s talk to jeremy pearson from the british heart foundation, who funded this research. and victoria warnes—elgie and philippa hicken — two women that had heart attacks whilst in their 30s. thank you very much for coming on the programme. philip, iwant thank you very much for coming on the programme. philip, i want to ask you about your heart attack. ——
10:40 am
philip. you were 39 when you had your heart attack. how did it happen? it was ten days after i‘d given birth to my second trial. i‘d been feeling unwell for a few days. visited the gp and advised i was probably had a virus and was sent home. and on the day in question, i was driving home with my daughter in the car. and i knew that something wasn‘t right. i haven‘t thought for a minute! wasn‘t right. i haven‘t thought for a minute i was having a heart attack, but i knew that i wasn‘t well. and i should have actually taken a well. and i should have actually ta ken a left well. and i should have actually taken a left turn to go home but i knew that i couldn‘t turn the wheel on the car. so i carried on. going the long way round. and that took me past my doctors surgery. and i pulled into the surgery, went straight in and said, something‘s not right. and collapsed there and had my heart attack in the surgery. and luckily, because of where i was, they were able to do cpr, use a different related, and got me back. wow. how i do now? different related, and got me back. wow. how! do now? at five years
10:41 am
different related, and got me back. wow. how i do now? at five years on, good. it‘s taken a long time —— how are you now. physically, my heart is incredibly lucky. it is ok. i have an internal different related fitted because they didn‘t know at the time what had caused the heart attack and they couldn‘t say it would not happen again. but, touch wood, it hasn‘t happened again. but we do live daily with the fact that it could happen again. victoria, hello, thank you for coming on the programme. did you recognise you we re programme. did you recognise you were having a heart attack was but mine wasa were having a heart attack was but mine was a bit different, wine with a slow attack. i had chest pains after i had my baby, ten weeks, i went straight to a&e but nothing was found to be wrong with me, i drove myself back home. what did it feel like, can you describe it? it was just painful exertional chest pain, really, quite basic, going up and down the stairs. pushing a pushchair, really quite basic. but i
10:42 am
knew that it wasn't right for me and that was actually what saved me, i pushed for a referral. the next day. then i had surgery very quickly after that, i was very lucky indeed. the treatment that you received, was at the right treatment for you and where you happy with it? it was the right treatment for me. it was very quick. the only thing that i would say is that following the initial surgery, say is that following the initial surgery, the rehab isn't suitable at all for women. of our age. surgery, the rehab isn't suitable at all forwomen. of ourage. we both agree with that. because everybody is much older. much older. i walked in to is much older. much older. i walked intoa is much older. much older. i walked in to a room full of 50 plus men and they thought that i was there to ta ke they thought that i was there to take the class. how old were you? i was 35. it wasn't suitable at all. that is key in getting people back to their normal health. and mentally having that kind of power, clarity of mind to move forward with your life. how typical are these women's experiences has grown fairly difficult, they are slightly different from most cases because we haven‘t talked about it don‘t read
10:43 am
that they have a specific form of corona that they have a specific form of co ro na rea d that they have a specific form of corona read article disease. what they described about how they themselves didn't recognise it was a heart attack and the health professionals didn't either, that is still unfortunately more often the case than not, it's something we need to improve. why women not given the same treatment as men?” need to improve. why women not given the same treatment as men? i think it's part of the same package, even having diagnosed a woman as a heart attack, which is harder for various reasons, for example some of the blood tests aren't so sensitive and don't take up that women have had a heart attack were as it will pick them up in men. and because they are younger and they are health professionals themselves they see, well might you know, why should we treat them as aggressively as some older people who have other things wrong with them's completely the wrong with them's completely the wrong answer, but that's the way it is. this study was in sweden over ten years up to 2013. i think things have got better since 2013, they are going in the right direction, in
10:44 am
this country, as in sweden, no doubt, but we still have quite a long way to go to get it i think to the point where we are going to treat it exactly the same way as men, which is what really needs to happen. is it about educating medical professionals? it's about educating women themselves that they possibly going to have a heart attack, even at a younger age. that's a horrible thing to say, but you need to be able to recognise that. also the symptoms are not quite the same and not quite as obvious as in men. that's one thing. education of the public. the second is education of health professionals to recognise this is a problem. something like two thirds of the numberof women as something like two thirds of the number of women as men have a heart attack in the uk. so it's not uncommon. 0k, many of them are rolled, but some are younger, as you can see, so we rolled, but some are younger, as you can see, so we mustn't miss them. what would you say to people watching now, many of whom are your age, women, who think it would be impossible for them to have a heart attack at this kind of age? it's not, no, simple as that, it‘s not.
10:45 am
my not, no, simple as that, it‘s not. my experience from first aid and the symptoms of a heart attack didn‘t match my symptoms at all. and i think even now when people are being informed about heart attacks, those symptoms need to be elaborated on. for a woman... let's talk about them, it is public service information, what kind of symptoms? pain across my back, my shoulders, my neck... why would you think that would be a heart attack?” my neck... why would you think that would be a heart attack? i haven't got a would be a heart attack? i haven't gota pain would be a heart attack? i haven't got a pain in would be a heart attack? i haven't gota pain in my would be a heart attack? i haven't got a pain in my left would be a heart attack? i haven't gota pain in my leftarm would be a heart attack? i haven't got a pain in my left arm or in my chest. at the point that i had a heart attack, my brain wasn‘t fully with it, i knew something was wrong but my body was doing other things at the time, trying to get me to the right place, really. but certainly since then, when i read about the signs and symptoms of a heart attack, i think, signs and symptoms of a heart attack, ithink, well, no, it was so much more subtle. especially
10:46 am
postnatally, the last thing you would be thinking about yourself, you would be thinking about your baby, and you absolutely must listen to your body. if you have in a corrie paint... mine was literally like a pulled chest muscle, nothing more. if it's not right for you, then it's not right, you must get it checked out. symptoms, jeremy? in women it is much more variable, much less the classical advertising, the horrible constricting force across the chest and radiating down to the arms, often on exertion but sometimes not on exertion, that is the classic view of men having a heart attack, that is usually recognised by the man and by the doctors. here it is much more subtle and variable in presentation, therefore it is harder to pick up. so, just be aware. thank you very much. jeremy, victoria and philip are, thanks for coming in. at is

moin younis is an 18—year—old from birmingham who won a 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 and that causes his skin to tear and blister at the slightest touch. the nhs estimates that 5,000 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—ba ptiste went to meet him. his film report contains sensitive images that might be upsetting. hello, moin, how are you doing? i‘m ok, thanks. he has a rare skin disorder known as epidermolysis bullosa,
10:48 am
that causes his skin to tear and blister at the slightest touch. the nhs estimates that 5000 people have it in the uk. every morning, moin‘s mum shafia helps him to remove bandages before applying a fresh set. 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. as he grows, his condition gets worse as his skin stretches. 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,
10:49 am
ifeel like i‘m his carer. 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. my mum used to be a fit, healthy woman. she used to work, she used to love herjob, she was going to become a nurse, she did everything. then i was born, so i haven'tjust ruined my life, i've ruined hers. you haven‘t ruined her 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 good, we‘ve been to the hospital and the professor who did this treatment, he‘s interested, and he does know about me.
10:50 am
but, for now, it‘s just hope. angus crawford is here. sorry, i do apologise. we are going to talk about grenfell tower in a moment, but i wanted to read you some messages about moin. laura says, "both moin and his mum are amazing. as a mother 24/7 caring for my 15—year—old daughter with no help ican my 15—year—old daughter with no help i can relate to everything that moin‘s mum said." sarah brown says, "i wish a treatment comes quickly. i thank moin for highlighting this issue, i wish you all the best." another viewer says, "life limiting for theirfamily. hopefully another viewer says, "life limiting for their family. hopefully over time he will see medical
10:51 am
breakthroughs and amazing people. i wish you luck." thank you for those. the inquiry into the fatal blaze at grenfell tower last month has faced a number of criticisms since it was formed in august last year. now accountancy firm kpmg has quit its advisor role to the inquiry after campaigners said it had a conflict of interest. our correspondent angus crawford is here to tell us more. fill us in on the background here. this is an acutely sensitive area. we all know since the fire on 14th june last year there has been great anger and great frustration on behalf of those most affected and huge scepticism about the behaviour of the authorities from the local council to central government and anyone in between and there is great concern amongst those who lost loved ones and have been forced out of their homes and are hopeless now. so what we found out was that the g re nfell what we found out was that the grenfell inquiry due to start taking evidence probably at easter this
10:52 am
year, possibly an interim report by the end of the year, lots of concern about it, whether it was representative or not, but also it appears that they hired kpmg, one of the biggest auditing firms in the country to carry out some, if you like back office functions. what they didn‘t possibly realise when they didn‘t possibly realise when they didn‘t possibly realise when they did that was that kpmg audit three crucial players in the g re nfell three crucial players in the grenfell disaster, that‘s the royal borough of kensington and chelsea and two firms closed linked with the refurbishment of grenfell tower with the panels which we know were highly significant in how the blaze spread so significant in how the blaze spread so catastrophically on that night. 0k. and so catastrophically on that night. ok. and they are no longer involved which will please various campaigners and critics. where are we in terms of the inquiry now? what‘s really interesting about how they were removed or removed themselves is this conflict of interest wasn‘t raised by relatives
10:53 am
of the dead, those bereaved, it was raised by politician, academics and even the.-.” ‘ lily raised by politician, academics and even g lily allen who said even the singer lily allen who said look, this cannot happen. we need to have a clear sight with this inquiry that it has no conflicts of interest. so they sent an open letter to theresa may saying this cannot stand. this is an obvious perception issue, even if there is no conflict of interest, it looks like there is. yesterday, kpmg withdrew from the inquiry saying nothing should distract from the important work being done. the inquiry itself, also said the company had no role within the inquiries investigation and said the confidence of all core participants is integral. that‘s one issue solved. there is still, the other issue to be resolved, which is that some of those involved, the core participants believe the panel, the judge himself who is leading it, is not representative of the community and they are still calling for a wider panel to sit with him to be
10:54 am
more representative of the people who lived in grenfell. thank you very much, angus, thank you. let‘s talk to jonathan bartley. he signed the open letter calling for kpmg's signed the open letter calling for kpmg‘s removalfrom the inquiry and you must be pleased with the news this morning? yes, i think it was the right thing to do, but there are big questions that remain unanswered. there were three conflicts of interest that angus raised, the one with kensington and chelsea, the one with the company responsible for the refurbishment, but the one that wasn‘t declared by kpmg was the one about the cladding, why did the cabinet office appoint kpmg in aproject management and in an advisory role and why was the their one around the company that produced the cladding and their involvement with them, why was that
10:55 am
not declared? does that matter now that they have stepped aside?m matters because it‘s about the confidence and let‘s not forget what this is about. this is an inquiry that should be representing the victims‘ families and the community at grenfell, the survivors and their needs and the questions that they wa nt a nswered needs and the questions that they want answered and let‘s cast our minds back to what happened before the fire. the community raised questions about the safety and what was going on. it didn‘t have confidence in the system even before the fire. now, this inquiry must have the confidence of those people and so it does shake the confidence and so it does shake the confidence and it does matter. angus mentioned the panel—led inquiry. on 21st december the prime minister, some victims would say and their families will i would cynically announced before christmas that there wouldn‘t before christmas that there wouldn‘t bea before christmas that there wouldn‘t be a panel inquiry, not giving a chance forjudicial be a panel inquiry, not giving a chance for judicial inquiry. be a panel inquiry, not giving a chance forjudicial inquiry. we need that panel—led inquiry so there is a
10:56 am
real sta ke that panel—led inquiry so there is a real stake by the community in this process. from those that you talked to around grenfell from the community, where are they in terms of trusting in the inquiry? well, i think, clearly, you know, i‘m reading the same statements as eve ryo ne reading the same statements as everyone else is reading. some co nsta nt everyone else is reading. some constant appeals. there is their petition that was up to 24,000 signatures just before christmas saying we need the panel—led inquiry. there is a big, big issue around confidence and trust that is ongoing. there is a two stage inquiry and from what i understand from the community, they are encouraged that interests a small glimmer of hope in what theresa may said on 21st in her statement was she wasn‘t ruling out stage two of the inquiry, but there is a blow that there won‘t be a panel on stage one. that will knock the confidence and the revelations about kpmg will further damage that confidence too. thank you very much. thank you jonathan bartley,
