A cold start for some and a frosty one, dry and bright for most, however the cloud across southern parts will edge north through the day producing a bit of drizzle here and there. More in 15 minutes. Speak to you then, carol, thank you. Good morning. First, our main story theresa may is expected to make several changes to her cabinet team today in the most extensive reshuffle since she became Prime Minister. The four most senior members of the government are expected to remain in their current posts, but more women and mps from ethnic minorities are expected to be promoted to top positions. Were joined now from westminster by our Political Correspondent ben wright. Youre looking cold so much conversation about what might happen, any indication at this point . Its a nailbiting anxious day for existing members of the cabinet waiting to see if they will be sacked but for up and coming ambitious tory mps a day to be waiting by your phone, clutching it in hope in case you get the call from theresa may. Were expecting a fairly wide Cabinet Reshuffle today although as you say, some of the big names we expect to remain in their place. Borisjohnson, names we expect to remain in their place. Boris johnson, the names we expect to remain in their place. Borisjohnson, the foreign secretary, the chancellor, Philip Hammond. Amber rudd, the home secretary and david davis, leading the brexit negotiations, theyre all expected to stay. The next tier of cabinet ministers could have a significant rejig. In particular one of the reasons theresa may has had to do this is the loss before christmas of damian green who was heard the facto deputy Prime Minister and a very powerful minister at the Cabinet Office. Theres a hole to fill and there is speculation possibly the Health Secretaryjeremy speculation possibly the Health Secretary jeremy hunt could speculation possibly the Health Secretaryjeremy hunt could be shunted into that role, although over the weekend labour said that wouldnt be acceptable considering the pressure is the nhs is under and the pressure is the nhs is under and the criticisms made of his performance. Also there is speculation Patrick Makau lachlan, the tory party chairman, could be for the chop in light of the disastrous election in the summer and Justine Greening too, pretty young woman, education secretary, but theres been speculation over the weekend that she could be in danger. Reshuffles are difficult for the Prime Minister, they are trying to show they are in charge, that they have the imagination to make bold moves around the cabinet table but the risk is by sacking people you create enemies on the tory backbenches, and there will always be people overlook who will be cross if they dont get the call today as well. We will be watching closely. Ben, get out of the cold freezing there this morning Oprah Winfrey received a standing ovation as she tackled the issue of sexual harrassment in the Film Industry at the Golden Globe Awards last night. It was the first major event since hollywood was caught up in the scandal. 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. A new day is on the horizon and when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women. Many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time where nobody ever has to say me to again. Gary oldman won best actor for his portrayal of Winston Churchill, Ewan Mcdonald go and martin donna, the screenwriter. Euan murray gregor. Peter bowes is in los angeles. We will talk about the winners in a moment. What Oprah Winfrey has said has stolen most of the headlines . Yes, she absolutely stole the show. This was really billed as the night that women would ta ke billed as the night that women would take control of hollywood, they did that, they wore black on the red carpet and it looked ratherfunereal but many were saying this was simply the death of old hollywood and seth meyers, who hosted the show, set the tone early, saying good evening ladies and remaining gentlemen, he said, for all the male nominees in the room this might be the first time in three months that it wont be terrifying to hear your name read out loud. As you say then we heard from Oprah Winfrey, that electrifying speech that she gave, speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have, she said, and this was her message to young girls watching, a new day is on the horizon. I think this marks a change, a seachange in hollywood in attitudes, of course, all in the wa ke attitudes, of course, all in the wake of the Sexual Harassment scandal. And then there were the awards. Three billboards outside ebbing, misery was the winner of the night, best roma, a film about to openin night, best roma, a film about to open in the uk. Francis mcdormand, she won for her performance. Gary oldman winning for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in the darkest hour. He said hes very proud of the darkest hour, it illustrates words and actions can change the world and boy oh boy, he said, does it meet some changing thanks very much. , peter. More detail on that through the morning. Did you see Natalie Portman, she gave out best director with ron howard, she said heres a list of all the male nominees and there was a reaction in the room. Very powerful statement the bbcs china editor, Carrie Gracie, has stepped down from the role because of a what she describes as an indefensible pay gap between men and women. In an open letter addressed to licence fee payers, she accused the corporation of having a secretive and illegal pay culture. The bbc said internal audits have shown no systemic discrimination against women. 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 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 time when 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 broadcasters reputation being tarnished. Amol rajan, bbc news.

It doesnt matter. Good morning. It is cold today, across southern scotland and Northern England, temperatures between 7 and 10 and we have seen is like this, some frost around. Scenes like this. There will be some sunshine for some of us, not all of us, though, with cloud across southern england and that will move northwards and it will produce a little drizzle. As we start in the north of the country across scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England, it is called here, it isa Northern England, it is called here, it is a bright start for some, and along the east coast there will be a breeze, so it will feel cooler. As we move south you can see where we have the cloud producing some outbreaks of light drizzle here and there, not everywhere, and as a result temperatures are not as low, for degrees in southampton at 8am. Through the day you will notice the cloud will migrate slowly northwards. We will see some drizzle coming out of it almost anywhere through the course of the day. So the bright skies will be further north, particularly Northern England, with a fair bit of sunshine today. In newcastle the maximum temperature is only for degrees, two degrees in glasgow and higher down to the south. Four degrees. Overnight you can see that we still have the cloud pushing further north. Some drizzle coming out of that, maybe over the high ground as it engages with the cold air. We could see some wintry and is coming out of it. For most it wont be the case. Temperatures falling to about freezing in glasgow. Damper surfaces, so watch out for that first thing. Tomorrow, it is a fairly quiet day. We also have a weather front coming in from the west. That will introduce some rain and the wind will start to strengthen here. Tomorrow, fairly cloudy, the odd spot of drizzle coming out of the cloud. There will be some bright breaks in the shelter of the hills. And then we have the weather front coming from the west, introducing the rain and some strengthening wind. Note that temperatures, 10 degrees in plymouth, so that is certainly going on. Through tuesday into wednesday, the weather front continues pushing across the uk, taking the patchy rain with it. And then behind it, once again, we start to see some dry conditions coming in. Here is the rain moving from the west to the east, breaking up fairly patchy, behind it is bright and note that temperatures, they are going up, so we have nine and ten in the south, seven in aberdeen, and we wont know ourselves.
