video assistant referee. coming up on sportsday later in the hour on bbc news, the last of the fa cup third round ties between brighton and crystal palace and details of the fourth round draw. good evening. the prime minister has been carrying out a reshuffle of her cabinet with a few new faces but the big beasts mostly staying in post. the education secretary justine greening has quit after refusing to move to the department for work and pensions, a previousjunior minister in the department, esther mcvey, has stepped into the role instead. the immigration minister, brandon lewis, has been named as the new conservative party chairman while jeremy hunt continues as health secretary but has been given an expanded

role including social care. our political editor laura kuenssberg's report contains flashing images. are you confident of staying in government? two-and-a-half hours to say i quit. the then education secretaryjustine greening say i quit. the then education secretary justine greening rushed into number ten after 5.00pm. the prime minister told her she wanted to move her to look after welfare. but after fraught discussions between the two, miss greening said, i'm off, dashing into the night after more than six years in the cabinet. justine greening told the bbc: one of her frustrations to have a

move forced on her when others who seemed likely to be shifted did not. are you in line for a newjob? the health secretaryjeremy hunt followed by the business secretary greg clark arrived at number ten but both stayed until well after dark emerging with virtually the same jobs. the health secretary was, i understand, told he was to move to business but won the argument to stay. promotions for others did go according to plan. are you pleased with your promotion minister delighted. the new culture secretary matt hancock skipping out of number ten replacing karen bradley who's off to the northern ireland office. are you happy with the promotion? damian hynes fills the gap at education. when the cabinet moose tomorrow, there will be some new faces at the table. but this was what theresa may really wanted you to see. will this broaden the pa rty‘s to see. will this broaden the party's appeal? new faces to reboot

the tory machine after its bungled election campaign. honoured, looking forward to getting on with the job. a new chairand forward to getting on with the job. a new chair and bigger team appointed by number ten to take charge at tory ho. appointed by number ten to take charge at tory hq. i've been asked to lead a great party. great teem, grate volunteers and professionals. we've a fantastic team. really, really looking forward to this. do you think you can deliver the things the prime minister wants? absolutely. such a positive move. absolutely. such a positive move. absolutely. we're ready for it. there are always challenges, but we're there are always challenges, but we're up to it. you may not have seen tory hq or seen some of the new faces but this reshuffle's about rebooting this party as well as what's happening in government. so no huge new group of passengers for the shiny ministerial cars. the biggest names in government stay the same. are you expecting to stay in post mrjohnson? the foreign

secretary, the chancellor, the brexit secretary and the home secretary all keep theirjobs. with one downing street resident most certainly determined not to budge. what does this reshuffle tell us about the state of play in the government? for months, theresa may's been mulling over the timing of this reshuffle, should she actor wait. finally, today, she felt daring enough to do it. it has not gone entirely to plan. of three of the ministers she wanted to move, one of them quit in protest. one pervaded her to let them stay on and one wasn't even asked to shift in the end. tomorrow, number ten is promising we'll see junior ministers coming forward. many more ethnic minority tory mps coming in. many more women coming into cabinet. tonight, as things stand, two more women will be attending the cabinet. ten women will be attending the cabinet. te n i nstea d women will be attending the cabinet. ten instead of eight. but there

won't are more full members. the cabinet doesn't really look very different. the demographics have stayed pretty much the same even though part of the job of this reshuffle was to show the tory party more like the country they are trying to govern. injustine greening's departure, theresa may's lost a n greening's departure, theresa may's lost an experienced minister in the cabinet since 2011. a northern mp who represents a london marginal. somebody, who as a strong remainer, could welljoin that feisty group of former ministers on the backbenches who have been in some circumstances making theresa may's life rather difficult. so, this has not gone entirely to number ten's script. remember though, this was never going to be a dramatic reshuffle. the big names would always stay untouched. remember too, each the big names would always stay untouched. remembertoo, each prime minister's at the peak of their powers often find reshuffles end up with a bit of a foulup because at

the end the day, just as today, their colleagues don't always want to cooperate. in terms of this being a glorious return to the new year after the tumultuous events of 2017, this has not been an easy day for theresa may. day two of the reshuffle, number ten will hope that goes more smoothly. syrian government forces, backed by russia, have targeted ten hospitals in northern syria over the last ten days according to sources on the ground. the british—based syrian observatory for human rights says 126 people have died in less than two weeks. for nearly four—and—a—half years the rebel stronghold of eastern ghouta in the suburbs of syrian capital damascus has been under siege. the area's faced intensive bombing and thousands are malnourished. a plan to evacuate more than 400 of the most gravely ill collapsed when fighting resumed. only 29 made it out for treatment. our middle east correspondent quentin sommerville has this report which includes some distressing images. after almost seven years of war, the

syrian regime knows how to break people. in rebel—held eastern ghouta, regime bombs brought down this building. child after child is brought out by the british—backed rescuers, the white helmets. with bear hands, bloodied with effort, they crawl through the collapse add floors of the building. a hand reaches out to this three—year—old. she's safe but she's lost almost everything. her parents and four brothers died here. these are regime air strikes. eastern ghouta is close enough for the rebels to harass the capital damascus. for more than 1600

days, the regime's laid siege to them. one child in ten here is malnourished. amar is 13 months old and has known only hunger since even before she was born. translation: she looked like this since she was born. i couldn't eat well when i was pregnant. she's malnourished. she needs eggs and milk. she's been crying for the entire day today. the doctor says she needs newt ricks food. there is food in ghouta but not on these shelves. prices of sugar, rice and other basics have more than quadrupled. the poorest suffer because of the siege and rebel pro—tearing. this is the worst

malnutrition syria's seen since the war began. had and there's little the doctors can do. the un asked 500 of the most urgent medical cases, including dozens of children, be freed from the siege. but only 29 we re freed from the siege. but only 29 were allowed out s freed from the siege. but only 29 were allowed out 5 they are watching their child while he's suffering. maybe he will die. we can't help them. they ask us to help them but we tell them to wait. they are waiting for evacuation or they are waiting for evacuation or they are waiting death. blockades and bombardments shatter resolve. the regime in syria uses them mothers i willessly. it wants

them mothers i willessly. it wants the world to believe it is close to victory. but, despite the suffering, eastern ghouta on bashar al—assad's doorstep is not broken. a couple who met on an internet dating website have been convicted of planning a devastating christmas terror attack a year ago inspired by so called islamic state. munir mohammed, an asylum seeker from sudan who was living in derby, had stored up bomb—making components with the help of his girlfriend, a pharmacist. the court heard the pair were also researching how to make the deadly poison, ricin. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly reports. this is a story which stretches to the streets of sudan. the couple now convicted both had roots here, but they linked up thousands of miles away in the uk. munir mohammed entered britain illegally and then sought asylum. a couple of years later, although married, he went on a muslim dating site, singlemuslim.com, and found his partner in crime.

he was attracted to rowaida el—hassan because she was a pharmacist. he needed her scientific know—how to mount a terror attack. they were both wedded to an extremist ideology. they began sharing is execution videos. together, the couple plotted a terror outrage in the uk in the run—up to christmas 2016. munir mohammed would carry it out. he was living in a bedsit in derby. described as a bedroom jihadi, here, over the internet, he took instructions from a man believed to be an is commander, and told him "i'm ready". munir mohammed had been picked up on cctv in asda. he was shopping for everyday items containing chemicals he needed for his bomb, all the time being guided over the phone by his girlfriend using her pharmacy experience. in his bedsit, officers found bomb—making components and instructions on how to use mobile phone detonators and the poison ricin.

his is commander had posted an instruction on facebook which read "place poison in food like fruit and vegetables in markets or inject poison in drinks and foods that are prohibited in islam". at that time, munir mohammed was working here at kerry foods in burton—on—trent. he was in the kitchens, making sauces for ready meals that are sold in tesco and morrison's. using fake id with someone else's name, he got the job through the gi recruitment company. munir mohammed was planning a bomb attack. there was no evidence he ever had any poison. but detectives say that because of his interest in ricin and his support for is, he did pose a threat to this factory. he certainly was a risk. had that food company known or had we known of his interest in ricin and his link to that food company, we would have ta ken steps to protect the public and to prevent him

from continuing that employment there. kerry foods, a global brand, told us: we take every possible measure to ensure the safety and integrity of products manufactured at our facilities. the gi recruitment company which gave mohammed thejob here said... our candidate vetting procedures are rigorous and exceed home office guidelines. they had no idea the man they recruited was also a recruit to is. this couple was stopped by the police and security service m15. they will be sentenced next month. june kelly, bbc news. six people have been charged with being members of the banned far right group national action. the five men and one woman were arrested last week after raids in cambridge, banbury, wolverhampton, stockport and leicester. all six have been charged under the terrorism act. they'll appear at westminster magistrates court tomorrow. a 17—year—old boy has pleaded guilty to a string of acid attacks

on six moped riders in order to steal their bikes. derryckjohn, from croydon in south london, appeared at a north london court and admitted targeting the riders lastjuly. he'll be sentenced in march. the bbcjournalist carrie gracie has stepped down from her role as china editor because, she says, she doesn't want to collude in a failing pay structure which discriminates against women. in an open letter addressed to licence fee payers, ms gracie accuses the corporation of breaking the law on equal pay and failing to live up to its values of trust, honesty and accountability. the bbc says an independent audit of rank and file staff found "no systemic discrimination against women". our media editor amol rajan has more. the chinese once called chairman mao the great helmsman. carrie gracis is one of the most respected international editors of her generation. for more than 30 years, she has broadcast about other people.

this time she is the centre of the story. miss gracie resigned from her position as china editor because she is paid less than men who are also international editors. this morning she presented the today programme on radio 4. it's been very moving actually. the news of her resignation leaked out online last night. six months after the bbc was forced to reveal the salaries of some highly paid on air staff, miss gracie has been infuriated by the response to her grievance. she was offered a pay rise of £45,000 but declined it, saying equality is what she wants. she wouldn't be drawn on whether she wanted male colleagues to take a pay cut. when i started the china job, i said i will only do this job if i'm paid equally. injuly 2017, i discovered the enormous gap that the two men who were international editors were earning 50% more, at least, than the two women who were international editors. the bbc has completed two of the three pay audits it announced last year and found no

evidence of discrimination. the final one will report in a matter of weeks. the corporation declined to put anyone up for an interview but, in a statement they said... the bbc talks about a gender pay gap. what i'm talking about is not the gender pay gap, where sometimes men and women are in different roles, which explains the differences in pay. what i'm talking about is pay discrimination, which is when men are paid more for doing the same job, or a job of equal value. that is illegal. there is tremendous anger among many female staff at all levels of this corporation. senior figures at the bbc say they take this issue very, very seriously but many employees have found the process of fighting for equal pay completely unbearable. the salience of this story however arises from its implications beyond this place

because it's happening in a climate in which many women across several industries say they have suffered injustice and inequality forfar too long. where pay is shrouded in secrecy or in some complicated structure, it's inevitable that it is going to be bound up with biases or other types of decisions being made which can't be properly analysed orjustified. pay transparency is absolutely key because it will set out clearly why an employer is choosing to pay certain types of people certain amounts of money. equal pay for equal work is a legal requirement. but who decides what equal work is? ultimately, it's usually the employer. this is what makes tackling gender pay issues so difficult because, obviously, we will want people to be treated equally and given equal opportunities in the workplace but employers also need to have the capacity to offer people flexible payments,

so bonuses and that kind of thing, to reward and incentivise people to do well in theirjob and work hard. the bbc‘s public ownership and obligations means it has to set unique standards and face unique scrutiny. with 200 formal complaints and the possibility of legal action, this story will run and run. stars of stage and screen gathered in los angeles last night for the 75th golden globe awards. and almost all of them dressed in black to show solidarity with victims of the sexual harassment scandal that has gripped hollywood in the last few months. the night belonged to oprah winfrey who received a standing ovation when she used her acceptance speech to pay tribute to all women who had suffered abuse and assault. from la, james cook reports. the bright lights of hollywood are shining into dark corners, exposing shameful secrets. at the golden globes, they turned the red carpet black to demonstrate a determination to force change. there is no way i am ever

going to be in a room and be treated in the way people have been treated ever again, and not stand up and say "i don't agree with that". the whole reason why that was able to take place, like any abuse of power, is silence. meryl streep was one of several actresses who arrived with an activist as her guest. we're standing up together and drawing a big black line between yesterday and tomorrow, and the way things used to be done, the way business used to be done. it's not going to be that way any more. it's important in our business and it is important in any business that people in power don't get to bully people, and especially not bully them in a sexual way and get away with it. do you think the industry is changing? yes, it'll have to. there is no way it can't now. hurrah! from the moment the ceremony began, its tone was set. good evening, ladies and remaining gentlemen. and here are the all—male nominees. natalie portman highlighted

the failure of the golden globes to recognise female directors. and star after star gave voice to a movement now known as time's up. oprah winfrey led the charge. for too long, women have not been heard or believed, if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men. but their time is up. the speech was so powerful that it fuelled immediate speculation of a run for president. theirtime is up! this all began with the downfall of a mogul who abused his power. the spotlight is now on harvey weinstein‘s accusers, standing side by side. we have a bit more of an opportunity to lead nationally and internationally, so that everyone everywhere can work safely, earn the same money for the same work, and we can finally put sexual harassment in the way past where it should have been a long time ago.

is that happening? it is happening. four months ago, you could not have dreamed of a night like this. the women of hollywood and many of the men said they will ensure this is not just one the men said they will ensure this is notjust one night, notjust a moment but a process that will continue. it is an unprecedented show of female solidarity. does it mark a turning point? determination is there to ensure it does. that does not mean it will be easy. a lot of the structural power in hollywood still resides in the hands of old, white men in terms of casting, commissioning and so on. there has been a significant shift in attitude. women are simply, they

say, and i am sure this is right to not going to put up with this kind of behaviour anymore. what is more important is when they speak out the presumption will be to believe them. that is not all. there is practical help which is being put in place as well, including people who have been sexually harassed or sexually abused. the fund that has been set up abused. the fund that has been set up in hollywood has raised millions of dollars to support people not just in this industry but in other industries which might take legal action. coming back to it is that determination again. could you really look at oprah winfrey last night and those that support and so you think they will put up with this any longer? i don't think so. vauxhall is cutting another 250 jobs at its ellesmere port car plant in cheshire. the firm is now owned by france's psa group. the company announced the loss of 400 jobs in october. it says costs at ellesmere plant are higher than at other plants. the former football coach barry bennell has pleaded

guilty to seven offences of child sexual assault. the 63—year—old, who is now known as richard jones, admitted the charges before the start of his trial at liverpool crown court. the ex—crewe coach is charged with a total of 55 offences between 1979 and 1991. our sports editor dan roan reports. a successful former coach of the 1980s, barry bennell worked with some of the most promising young footballers in the north—west of england. youth team coach at crewe alexandra, he also had links with manchester city and stoke city. this is bennell speaking to the bbc when at crewe. we do a lot of talking to them as well as showing them the skills and explaining the game to them. but there's more to it than just coming here one hour a week. we need to give them homework. but today at the start of his trial here at liverpool crown court, bennell admitted preying on young boys. appearing via video link and wearing a grey jumper, bennell, now known as richard jones, admitted six counts of indecent assault on two boys

aged between 11 and 14 at the time. judge clement goldstone qc also lifted reporting restrictions on a further charge that the 63—year—old had previously pleaded guilty to, involving a third victim. bennell is pleading not guilty to 48 further charges, including 11 counts of serious sexual assault. all the charges relate to 11 complainants between 1979 and 1991. the trial is expected to last eight weeks. this all comes as the fa continues its year—long investigation into historical sexual abuse in english football, with 285 suspects now identified. dan roan, bbc news, liverpool. there are fears of an environmental disaster in the east china sea as a tanker continues to leak oil, two days after it hit a cargo ship. chinese officials say the vessel is in danger of exploding. one body has been recovered but 31 crew members are still missing. the sanchi had left port in the persian gulf,

bringing 136,000 tonnes of oil east. it passed through the malacca straits and was heading up the east china sea to south korea when the collision happened. robin brant reports from shanghai. since saturday night, the fire has burned. dark black smoke feeding off the cargo of almost a million barrels of oil inside the sanchi. the intense heat and the threat of an explosion is hampering an already difficult search and rescue operation. it's not clear at this stage how these two huge vessels collided. the cf crystal, carrying grain, was damaged at its bow, but all on board were rescued. translation: the chinese government takes maritime accidents like this very seriously and has already despatched many search and rescue teams to the scene. shanghai's port is the busiest in the world and the coastal waters to the east of this city are vast. but in the last decade china has had

eight reported collisions similar to this involving foreign ships. the chinese authorities are leading the search and rescue effort but there is help from south korea and the united states. the focus, though, is increasingly turning to the environmental threat to the ocean, about 200 miles off the coast of this city in that direction. with a volume of oil on board this has the potential to be the worst spill of its kind since 1991. if it sinks, then we're looking at inimpact of seepage from this light crude into the ocean which could last many months and that would mean exclusion zones in terms of fishing around the area and quite a big impact on the local flora and fauna. the last time a tanker lost oil on this scale was the prestige off the coast of spain in 2002. but this time it's not the thick black crude oil that's causing such problems off the coast of china.

the sanchi is carrying condensate, a refined form of oil that is far less dense but more explosive. described as a floating bomb, the cargo can be odourless and colourless which means the job of trying to see the extent of the spill and trying to contain it is far more difficult. robin brant, bbc news, shanghai. cricket, and england captain joe root got out of his hospital bed where he was being treated for dehydration to bat but he couldn't save them from defeat in the fifth ashes test. australia won the series 4—0 after winning the last match by an innings and a 123 runs to retain the ashes urn. andy murray has undergone surgery on a troublesome hip injury. the 30—year—old withdrew from the australian open and went under the knife in melbourne. he says he hopes to be back in time for this summer's wimbledon. english football took a step into the unknown tonight.

a video assistant referee was used for the first time in a competitive club match with brighton hosting crystal palace in the fa cup third round. richard conway was at the game to find out how it all works. after over 150 years of relying on their ownjudgment, tonight help finally arrived for the man in the middle. a global experiment with video assistant referees has been ongoing now for nearly 18 months. the fa cup game between brighton and crystal palace was the first time the system has been operational in a competitive english club fixture. a video official based in this operation centre on the outskirts of london was in constant contact with the on the pitch referee, helping him to make the right calls. this is designed to try and make the game of football perfect, it's designed to look at instances where there is a clear and obvious error. in those cases, this will intervene. we're not talking 50/50 decisions where some people might think it's a penalty,

some people won't. if we have that type of situation we stay with the on field decision. the video assistant referee can only be called upon in four specified situations. to decide if the goal should stand, when awarded a penalty, straight red card offences and to clear up confusion if the wrong there is punished. now, the referee can also come here to the side of the pitch if he wants to view different angles on this monitor. but there are those within the sport who fear that the natural ebb and flow of the game may be disrupted, especially if multiple viewings are needed. they have been quite sensible where they have drawn the line. in giving the referee the final say. there will be one or two things, i am sure, that will need ironing out. as it goes on, people become aware of what really is important, what needs referring and what does not.
