you might argue john humphrys should not get £600,000 of public money and hugh edwards, i hope he isent to hear after! you can argue about things like that you can argue about pay parity, but at the end of the date is public money and it is how you spend it. i would have thought this was a perfect time for the bbc to look at itself and say, do we need to do everything? do we need to have so many expensive light entertainment programmes on? isn't it part of the bbc to be producing television that would not be available elsewhere ? television that would not be available elsewhere? how does this compare to the commercial side?” available elsewhere? how does this compare to the commercial side? i do think with the bbc, and particularly with radio presenters, like you were talking thatjohn humphrys, the bbc in the past has talked about other commercial pressures and part of me thinks, you are not supposed to be competing in that way so therefore, don't offer huge salaries because somebody will do it because they wa nt to somebody will do it because they want to do it. you don't need to of

the bbc says it has agreed a series of pay cuts, among them are the today programme's john humphrys,hink people making voluntary sacrifices or individual gestures is a way to solve what appears to be a very large problem. if a job is worth paying an amount of money for, it's worth paying that amount of money for whoever does it, a man or woman. four of the bbc's leading male news presenters say they will take a pay cut in the wake of carrie gracie resigning as china editor... and i am also on that list. this was 5 live this morning, and the slightly uncomfortable moment when the news presenters found themselves in the news bulletin. and it is not the end of it. a bbc review of star pay is due out in the next few days, along with a face—to—face meeting with mps. the today presenterjohn humphrys spoke about the pay controversy to our media and arts correspondent david sillito. how much are you earning now? i shan't tell you that because that's for the bbc to reveal in due course when the next disclosure happens, but hugely less than i was. a lot less than 600,000, half? 0h, a lot less

bbc radio 4 today presenter john humphrys and north america editorjon sopel were discussing carrie gracieeditorjob over equal pay. in an exchange before monday's show, it's reported they theyjoked about "handing over" pay to keep her in post. a bbc spokeswoman said the presenter regrets the "ill—advised" conversation. there's been a breakthrough in talks in germany on forming a new coalition government. after working through the night, chancellor angela merkel‘s christian democrats and their former coalition partners, the social democrats, have now agreed a basis upon which a coalition treaty can be negotiated. mrs merkel has been unable to form a government since inconclusive elections in september. nigel farage has clarified remarks he made yesterday calling for a second eu referendum. the former ukip leader has said although another vote was the "last thing" he wanted, he thought it might be forced on the country by parliament. his initial remarks were seized upon by remainers, with labour's chuka umunna saying mr farage had made "a valid point for the first time in his life". the cond

the details are still being worked out but the six are huw edwards, nicky campbell, john humphrys, jonvine. 0ur media editor, amol rajan is with me now. will this go some way to sorting out the row over unequal pay? frankly, not so much. the move is significant, probably inevitable and driven by short and long—term factors. short—term factors, next week the most senior people at the bbc and carrie gracie, who resigned as china editor of equal pay, will be in front of a select committee and this was an attempt to get ahead of that story. the longer term, the economics of television. many of the people signed their salaries in an earlier era when there was more money washing around and the market was more bubbly and people were able to get the deals. that era has vanished and the big money is now in entertainment rather than news, and people getting jobs in news know they will not get the same sort of salaries as previously. does it equal eyes pay much? i don't think it does. for lots of the ball equal pay is not about big disparities right now but about historic injustices, accumulated

jeremy vine, nick robinson, john humphrys, huw edwards, jon sopel and nicky campbell have all agreed,eir salary. it follows carrie gracie's resignation as china editor, in protest at the unequal pay between male and female international editors. here's our media correspondent david sillito. arriving at work this morning wasjeremy vine, one of the bbc‘s highest—paid presenters. however, he has now agreed that his pay, more than £700,000, should be cut. i think it all needs to be sorted out. and i support my female colleagues who have rightly said that they should be paid the same when they are doing the same job. it is just a no—brainer. so it wasn't a problem for me to accept one. it is all part of the fallout from this, the moment the bbc was forced to reveal the pay of its highest—paid presenters. and it is not the end of it. a bbc review of star pay is due out in the next few days, along with a face—to—face meeting with mp5. a 15—year—old has been detained for more than four years — after five passengers of the stolen car he was driving in leeds, were killed. the teenager, who can'

it might get it in terms of the headlines, to coin a phrase, that john humphrys has given up more thann—air review, total shambles. i put in my equal pay claim three months ago, still heard nothing, now more delay, prevarication, obfuscation while they consult. that's a familiar story. at least she was in the review. but how do people feel if they are not part of the 824? how valued were men or women at the bbc? this is why i think we just have to have transparency now, and we have to have complete honesty and we have to have complete honesty and we have to have complete honesty and we have to have truth telling. i think the director—general needed to make a much braver speech last summer and i thought yesterday was another missed opportunity. i think that personally we are all owed answers. we're not just any other company, truth is our business, . just any other company, truth is our business,. we go around challenging companies in the uk and internationally challenging large powerful institutions, calling them to account, telling the story where they are failing to meet their grieva

we knowjohn humphrys any more than £600,000, has agreed to cut.ity between mere male and female for many people which is the size of the salaries. then they will be meeting mps next week to account for all of this and discuss bbc paying public. how much of what has happened in response to carrie gracie‘s decision to stand down as china editor, how much is that feeding into that pay review next week? it has certainly added a degree the bidders but this has been a long process. these people, the presenters, they have rolling pay negotiations were no contracts come up. these things take a long time to get sorted out and i think the moment though salaries were published there was a feeling of political pressure on the bbc is well to do something about it, to try and bring them down to a certain degree and a greater degree of equality between male and female. this bill ongoing process but she was certainly not pleased when she realised the disparity that existed even after she was offered a £a5,000 pay increase. thank you. good afternoon. the six time
