Theresa may is due to meet her brexit cabinet about a dozen of her most senior ministers to discuss for the first time what the uks future relationship with the eu should be. Later, she is expected to tell mps the uk wants to sign trade deals during what she calls an implementation period. And what everybody else calls a transition period. Norman smith is at westminster. How crucial is the meeting this morning . It is one of those big ba na na morning . It is one of those big banana moments. It is a funny one, ina banana moments. It is a funny one, in a way. Weve had months of them going on and on about brexit but still there hasnt been a formal sit down with senior members of the cabinet decided what is the future of britain going to be outside of the eu, and the future trading relationship, what will that be with the European Union . That will happen today and it is the first time theyve done it, in spite of months of debate. There is a clear difference between those like Philip Hammond and amber rudd, who think that the priority is staying close to the European Union and Single Market so we have access still to the Single Market for british industry, so we take some eu rules, we stay in some eu bodies and may give them money to get access to key parts of the british economy, like the city. Against them, the likes of borisjohnson the city. Against them, the likes of Boris Johnson and michael gove, the city. Against them, the likes of borisjohnson and michael gove, more optimistic about prospects for britain if wejust optimistic about prospects for britain if we just move away from europe. We do not stay bound by all of their roles because, they say, that it you look a long way ahead, big trading blocs like the eu, that will not be the name of the game, the name of the game will be small countries, agile countries able to strike their own trade deals, and thatis strike their own trade deals, and that is what britain ought to be like. There is a clear difference about what we ought to do in terms of our future relationship with europe. How likely is it the eu will support her plans . Here is one of the big difficulties. Not only has theresa may got to get a cabinet together on this but shes also got together on this but shes also got to square the eu and, overnight, we heard from the eus chief negotiator michel barnier, he said look, if you think we are going to cut you a special deal . No way there are certain options, you could be like norway, not in the eu, but still pa rt norway, not in the eu, but still part of the Single Market or, you could be like canada, which has a free trade deal but do not think that there will be any special arrangement for britain. As i say, shes not only got to hold her cabinet together but push the eu into giving us what is called a bespoke deal. Norman, thank you. Now lets go over to the bbc newsroom for a summary of the rest of the days news. Good morning.

Today, the British Cardiovascular Society is warning tens of thousands at risk of dying early, as radio one newsbeats Dan Whitworth reports. As well as heart attacks and strokes, people who take Anabolic Steroids also risk Health Problems like infertility and mood swings. Everything that we do in life carries a risk of heart attack, cancer, whatever it is. So, whatever it is, im going to get those risks anyway, so i choose not to do certain things, and i choose this as my lifestyle instead. So, as i dont go out drinking and smoking, i take steroids. When it comes to the law, Anabolic Steroids are legal to use and legal to possess right across the uk. What is illegal, though, is supplying them unless youre a doctor, and if youre caught, you could face a prison sentence of up to 11 years. Anabolic steroids cause an imbalance of hormones, which can damage many different organs, but in particular the heart. But that doesnt stop this man, who spoke on condition of anonymity, from dealing them. Theres a very Broad Spectrum of people that use steroids.

Lets get some sport with holly hamilton. Sadly, it was only a matter of time before australia regain the ashes . Yes, i feel like ive before australia regain the ashes . Yes, ifeel like ive brought bad news this morning they say that bad things happen in threes, that was the case for england this time around, it was all over by one innings and 41 runs, and a dominant scoreline too. To think that england had been 368 4, it feels like they let an opportunity slip. They will be kicking themselves this morning. And we did have a little bit of hope early this morning when a three hour delay caused by some leaking covers and damp patches on the pitch provided some respite for england. But australias bowlers led superbly by josh but australias bowlers led superbly byjosh hazlewood quite simply blew englands tail away. Five wickets for hazlewood, two for pat cummins, two for nathan lyon, one for mitch starc. An innings built on a magnificent 239 by the captain, and 188 from mitch marsh. A Proper Team Performance to go 3 0 up by australia. Lets hearfrom the captains. It is bitterly disappointing. We have not been blown away. We have not been completely outplayed. We have put up some really good performances, but not good enough, as simple as that. In all three games, we have matched and outplayed australia, and those key moments within the game, its a credit to those guys. That aside, they have really grasped those and driven it home. We have to learn from that and make sure that in these last two games, that they do that. It has been an amazing couple of weeks. I have really enjoyed every moment of it. We have put in so every moment of it. We have put in so much hard work, the preparation and everything that has come with the series, it has been huge and to know that everything has worked out, weve been able to get the urn back. All of those emotions, they came out at once. I am so pleased and happy for the group. For everyone, the support staff and everyone who has put in the work, and everything, to get that success weve had over the last couple of weeks. You can see the difference in their faces last couple of weeks. You can see the difference in theirfaces in those interviews. Already, some big changes been discussed looking ahead but this will be a very hard pill for england to swallow now. Studio its interesting to hear that giroud didnt think that england were outplayed by australia are all the time. If you had to pinpoint areas where it went wrong for england, what would you say . To be honest, throughout the series, england have outplayed in most departments, there has been a feeling that maybe there was a gap in quality . More aggression and more attack, and they are quitea aggression and more attack, and they are quite a young side. While it felt like it was the senior core of the england side who quite simply did not show up, like moeen ali, he struggled with the bat. Stuart broad, he struggled with rhythm throughout. And then in the absence of the all rounder ben stokes. Lets hear from the england of the all rounder ben stokes. Lets hearfrom the england coach, trevor bayliss. It has changed the dynamics of ourteam, i bayliss. It has changed the dynamics of our team, i certainly think that the Australian Team have been too strong for us. Whether he is here or not, the simple fact is that he wasnt. The guys here, in the team, they took that on board very early. They havent been whingeing about not being here, they are getting on without him. It certainly has been a change to the setup weve had over the last couple of years. This is englands eighth defeat in eight tests in australia and their seventh successive away defeat. An early Christmas Present for australia. England will have to come back strong in melbourne and sydney to avoid yet another whitewash. Back strong in melbourne and sydney to avoid yet another whitewashm is looking that way, sadly, annoyingly friends and fans. Thank you. Good morning. Sexual abuse and harassment in the Music Industry are endemic. Thats what this programme has been told, while investigating the issue. Over the past month weve spoken to women who have been serious sexually assaulted in the industry, and who have been told to stay quiet about the abuse theyve suffered. Weve heard that there are dangerous men at the top of the industry who abuse their power and that often inappropriate behavior goes unchallenged. Our reporterjean mackenzie, whos been looking at this, is here now. What have you learned . I have been speaking to women across the industry over the past month. It became quite clear quickly that there is a dark side to this industry. One woman said it has a dark underbelly. I had heard about a range of behaviour, from general cultural misogyny that exists that can make it difficult for women to work in, to more sinister behaviour, things like serious harassment, assault, predatory behaviour. I have spoken to women who have been seriously sexually assaulted at work. By people they work with. But i have also learned that there is a real feeling in this i have also learned that there is a realfeeling in this industry i have also learned that there is a real feeling in this industry that you have to be sexually available to get ahead. Women being expected to sleep with people or do certain things to get opportunities. And if they are not willing to do those things, those opportunities can go away. It is notjust artists and musicians. We are also talking about people who work for a Music Companies. It is notjust women. It is men as well who are vulnerable to being exploited. There really is a sense that everyone in this industry has some sort of story to tell. Why does the alleged abuse happen . This is an industry in which there are huge imbalances of power. You have people at the top who will absolutely wheeled absolutely enormous power, who all peoples hopes and dreams in their hands, who can make and break careers. At the bottom we have people trying to break into this industry, which is fun, competitive and exciting. People have said, where you when you get that power dynamic you create an environment where abuse can happen. Not only that, you create an environment where the perpetrators can get away with it. One of the things i have been so struck by in doing this is the real culture of silence that exists. People who are absolutely terrified to talk about this. And that is not just terrified to share their own experiences. People dont even want to say publicly that this is an industry with a problem. There is a real feeling that if you speak out, you lose yourjob. You may never work in the industry again because it isa work in the industry again because it is a small industry. It is entirely based on your reputation, who you know. One woman said to me, if you lose your reputation in this industry, you have lost everything. I have spoken to women who will never share their stories, who will never share their stories, who will never mention to anybody what has happened to them. But we did find for women who had been prepared to speak out. Some of them
