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 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 havent 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 isnt 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 dont wa nt tram lines to brexit and they dont want any further change to answer for their approach in this crucial 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 wont get is the walk of shame, those who have been dispatched having to walk up heads bowed, that wont happen. Presumably they will be told over the blower, thanks very much, but its over. So we wont get the vanquished coming up downing street. And i guess, you know, thats probably maybe our first indication of whos 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, thats 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 days news. Good morning. Many of hollywoods 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 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 industrys power structure. But no speech was more powerful than Oprah Winfreys. 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, weve heard the same word and that word is change. The stars whove 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 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 bbcs 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 doesnt 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 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 broadcasters reputation being tarnished. Rail commuters are facing disruption today as staff at five train firms begin a fresh wave of strikes in disputes about the role of guards. The union involved, the rmt, has urged ministers to convene a meeting with the Train Companies to try to reach a deal. The firms say the union is showing its disregard for passengers. 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. The firm said it had mutually agreed to step down from the inquiry. A ten year study has found women are three times more likely to die in the year following a heart attack than men because theyre not given the same treatment. Analysis of more than 180,000 patients over a decade by Leeds University researchers found women were less likely to receive recommended treatments including bypass surgery or statins. When they did, the gap in mortality decreased dramatically. New measures to tackle the sale of unsafe laser pens which can cause blindness have been announced by the government. It comes after an increase in incidents targeting pilots and train drivers. The new powers would include better labelling, as Daniela Relph reports. And increased checks at borders to ensure that the devices do not enter the country in the first place. There are growing fears of an environmental disaster in the East China Sea after a tanker continues to leak oil two days after colliding with a cargo ship. The iranian vassal was carrying oil to south korea, and it is still on fire. Rescue efforts are being hampered by a large oil slick and dense clouds of smoke. 32 iranian crew members are still missing. Some pharmacists working for boots claim understaffing could put patients at risk. Several current pharmacists told the bbcs inside out programme that staff are under too much pressure and feel that mistakes will be made. 0ne resigned in 2015 after he took his concerns to the independent industry regulator. The chain responded by saying its pharmacies are not understaffed and it has an industry leading Patient Safety record. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news. More at 9 30am. Thank you.

But captainjoe root had everyone guessing about whether or not he would play on the final day . Yes, you are right, victoria. He was in hospital in the early hours of this morning, suffering from a tummy bug which meant that he was severely dehydrated. He was able to regime his innings, just about, but have to retire after lunch on 58 resume his innings. He did struggle, joe root, and england were beaten again, losing the fifth and final test in syd ney losing the fifth and final test in sydney by an innings and 123 runs. Joe root did make a half century, but englands tale wilted in the scorching heat of the sydney cricket ground, all out for 180, losing the ashes series 4 0, and they still havent won a test a test in australia. A big shock in the fa cup holders arsenal are out. What went wrong for them . In short, bad defending. Arsene wenger took a gamble and made a lot of changes to his team, and itjust didnt pay off. The holders arsenal are out, beaten 11 2 by Nottingham Forest at the city ground. The forest at the city ground. The forest defender scored the best goal of the game, making it 2 1 to the hosts. The championship side secured all three points through keirin douu all three points through keirin doull from the penalty spot, their second of the game. A valuable win for forest, who only last week that their manager. It is the first time and Arsene Wenger that arsenal will not be in the fourth round draw, which is live on bbc two from about 7pm. And we will see video assistant refereeing used for the first time in Club Competitions in england tonight, how will that work . Yes, an interesting one. It is widely used in other sports like by widely used in other sports like rugby and cricket and will now be used in football in england for the first time in a Competitive Club match. It will be used for potentially matched changing decisions. Referees will have the power to stop the game, consult video replays with helps of getting decisions right. The fa cup third round between brighton and Crystal Palace tonight will use the year technology. Referees boss mark reilly said the technology will never be 100 perfect, but if through this we make that 4 2 then we have benefited the game, victoria. Thanks, jess. More throughout the morning. Good morning, thank you forjoining us. It must have reawakened the most appalling memories the words of thejustice secretary, david liddington, who is expected 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 wont reoffend. But major questions have been raised after many of his victims say they werent consulted in the decision, or even told that he would be freed. Lets talk now to claire waxman. Shes londons 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 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. Ive 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 . Theyre absolutely shocked, appalled, terrified. Many found out through social media or through media. Ive 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 cant 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 dont 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 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 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
