Philippe coutinhos £142 million move to barcelona from liverpool will be rubber stamped today, making him the the second most expensive player in the world. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. Theresa may has begun the most extensive reshuffle of her cabinet team since she became prime minister. In the past few minutes, Brandon Lewis has been named the new conservative Party Chairman, replacing patrick mcloughlin. Mrs may is also due to announce a successor for her close ally, damian green, who was sacked for breaching the ministerial code. Earlier this morning, the Northern Ireland secretary, James Brokenshire resigned from the cabinet for health reasons. Our Political Correspondent ben wright reports. A new year, a new cabinet. Morning prime minister. Will this rejuvenate the party. She will hope so after the tories botched election last year, the question is who will she choose to chop, rejig and row motor in her team . This morning the Health Secretaryjeremy team . This morning the Health Secretary jeremy hunt was team . This morning the Health Secretaryjeremy hunt was swerving speculation he might be on the move. Do you expect to be out of the cabinet . So was the education secretaryjustine green, cabinet . So was the education secretary justine green, she cabinet . So was the education secretaryjustine green, she cant be sure of having a ministerial car by the end of the day. The reshuffle began with the resignation of the Northern Ireland secretary James Brokenshire. He resignation of the Northern Ireland secretaryJames Brokenshire. He has chosen to leave the cabinet because of health issue, he has been in the job since theresa may became prime minister. In 2016. 36 my intent is to get on with surgery, get on with recovery and get back to my duties as mp and back to front line political duties as well. Other cabinet ministers like the work and pension secretary david gauke spent the morning watching their phones, waiting to learn their fate. Until you their phones, waiting to learn their fate. Untilyou are properly contacted, you carry on as normal, you carry on doing yourjob. So you havent been given a steer you are safe. I havent. Last year it was bruising for the party after the toried fail to win the snap election she kaled. The chairman cop add lot of the blame and this morning he stepped down from his post, the first to leave downing street after meeting the prime minister. A shake up of the conservative party is par of today ease reshuffle. Something many tory mps want to see. This is a chance for her to reshape her vision of what her party in government is about. We do need to think deeply about intellectual renewal, campaigning renewal and membership renewal. A modern party with a modern message for a modern britain. The promoted are summoned to downing street and first through the door was Brandon Lewis. Are you the door was Brandon Lewis. Are you the new Party Chairman . He he is, the new Party Chairman . He he is, the appointment confirmed a few minute ago. The. Co ings and goings will carry on all they but the chancellor, foreign secretary brexit and home secretaries are all expected to stay put as will the big beast of downing street. Our assistant Political Editor norman smith is in westminster. So that reshuffle under way but only one confirmed change so far in the last half hour . And it may be a more modest reshuffle than perhaps many had thought, but let be clear reshuffles rarely change the political weather, most people when we talk about new ministers probably just go who, who . And the sense is that this reshuffle could perhaps be more focussed less on changing the political weather, and more on the profile of the tory party, the party machine, we have seen that with the appointment of a new chairman Brandon Lewis who will have a shake up the tories election machine after its setback in the election last year. A sense that new people are going to have to be brought in to enable it to compete more effectively againstjeremy corbyns ability to get new members and campaign on Digital Media and social media. We expect promotions perhaps tomorrow for newer mp, women, tories from ethnic minority backgrounds to give the conservative government a more modern feel, a more diverse feel and too we ex some of those mps elected in 2015, 2017 to be given their chance, because there is is a slight Pressure Cooker feeling on the backbenches that some of them wa nt the backbenches that some of them want their chance to show what they can do. So a reshuffle designed perhaps not to solve all mrs mays political difficulties but to help her in terms of party management, and the profile the tory party presents.

The 75th Golden Globe Awards in los angeles have been dominated by powerful speeches about hollywoods sexual abuse scandal. It was the first major awards ceremony since the Film Industry was hit by Sexual Harassment allegations. Almost all of those attending chose to wear black to show support for the victims. Missouri, which took home four awards. Heres our north america correspondent james cook. In hollywood, they turned the red carpet black. This was a show of solidarity for those whod been abused and harassed, and a demonstration of the determination to change. There is no way that i am ever going to be in a room and be treated in the way that people have been treated ever again. And not stand up and not say, i dont agree with that. But the whole reason why that was able to take place, like anything thats abuse of power, is that there is silence. Emma watson was one of several actresses who arrived with an activist as her guest. Actually, this cuts across generations, across ethnicities, across communities. Actually, if we stand together, we can end this, right . Itsjust done, itsjust over. Theres going to be a zero tolerance policy from now on. I really. I really believe that. I think, times up. There are somethings that we dont need to discuss any more. Equal pay, for equal work, well, duh. Harassment in the workplace, come on, times up on all that stuff. From the moment the ceremony began, its tone was set. Good evening, ladies and remaining gentleman. 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 times up. Time is up. We see you, we hear you and we will tell your stories. Thank you. It was really great to be in this room tonight. And to be a 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 and now to know that a new day is on the horizon. Applause. Absent, of course, was the fallen mogul, harvey weinstein. Instead, the spotlight was on two of his most prominent accusers, who arrived together. We have a little bit more of an opportunity to lead nationally and internationally. So, 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 . Its human rights. Its basic human rights. Is that happening . It is happening. Four months ago, you couldnt have dreamt of a night like this and conversations that are being had. I think its exciting times for all of us. Time and again here on this red carpet, weve had the same word and that word is change. The stars who have 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. The bbcs china editor, Carrie Gracie, has stepped down from the role over what shes called an indefensible pay gap between men and women at the corporation. In an open letter addressed to licence fee payers, Carrie Gracie who is remaining at the bbc accused the corporation of breaking equality law. This morning she said the reaction to her resignation showed the depth of hunger for equal pay. A bbc spokesperson says theres no systemic discrimination against women. Our media correspondent David Sillito reports. Morning carrie. Carrie gracie arrived for work at the bbc this morning, just hours after publishing a letter to the bbcs audience, saying the bbc belongs to you, the license fee payer, and i believe you have a right to know that its breaking equality law. Im resisting pressure for a fairer transparent pay structure. Chinese once called chairman mao the great helmsman. Carrie gracie was the bbcs china editor, but has now left that post. The reason . Male International Editors were, it was revealed, being paid around 50 more than the women. Six months ago we discovered the pay discrepancies at the bbc. They affeceted me very directly. Ive spent the intervening time trying to put them right through an equal pay complaint, through a formal grievance. I have repeatedly told management i would not find it possible to go back to china in the new year without the grievance resolved. It is still unresolved and i cannot collude in what i see as unlawful pay discrimination. It has been very moving. And this morning, she was presenting the today programme, talking about the support she had received for her stand. The bbc says an independent review of staff pay had not revealed systematic discrimination. Its gender pay gap of 9. 3 is around half that of the National Average and it was committed to closing that, and it would also soon be publishing a full review of how it pays its top presenters and editors. But Carrie Gracie said she was offered a £45,000 pay increase, but turned it down, saying it was a botched solution. The real answer, she says, is a fair and open pay system for everyone. David sillito, bbc news. There are fears of an environmental disaster in the East China Sea, as a tanker continues to leak oil, two days after colliding with a cargo ship. Chinese officials have told state media the vessel, which is on fire, is in danger of exploding and sinking. South korean planes and an american aircraft have joined the search for 32 crew members, who have been missing since the incident happened 160 miles off the coast of shanghai. Robin brant reports. For two nights, the fire has burned. Dark black smoke feeding off the cargo, of almost a Million Barrels of oil inside the sanchi. The search and rescue operation is still trying to find all but one of the missing 32 crew members. Their fate grows more grim as time goes on. Its not clear at this stage how these two ships collided. The cf crystal was damaged at its bow, but all onboard were rescued. Chinese officials now fear the stricken iranian ship could explode and sink. The sanchi left port in the persian gulf bringing 136,000 tonnes of oil east. It passed through the malacca straights and was heading up the East China Sea to south korea when the collision happened. The chinese authorities are leading the search and rescue effort, but theres 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. The last time a tanker lost oil on this scale was the prestige, off the coast of spain, in 2002. But its not the thick black crude oil thats causing such a problem off the coast of china this time. The sanchi is carrying condensate, a refined form of oil that is far less dense, but more explosive. One expert has described the ship as a floating bomb. Robin brant, bbc news, shanghai. Our top story this lunchtime theresa mays Cabinet Reshuffle is under way. The immigration minister has been made chairman of the conservative party replacing patrick mcloughlin. And why women are twice as likely as men to die from the most serious type of heart attack. Coming up in sport. The video assistant referee makes its debut in Competitive Club football in england tonight. It will be used in the fa cup third round tie between brighton and crystal palace. Rail commuters across england are facing up to three days of disruption, as staff at five Train Companies begin a fresh wave of strikes over the role of guards and safety. Workers at northern, merseyrail, South Western Railway and Greater Anglia are walking out today and on wednesday and friday. Rmt members at southern are also staging a 24 hour walk out. Our transport correspondent victoria fritz is at london Waterloo Station this lunchtime. Victoria . Hello. You said it all, really. London waterloo is one of the busiest stations in the world, about 100,000 people come through here every single day. Thats more than London Gatwick and heathrow combined. A lot of them will be using South Western Railway. One of just five franchises that have workers out on strike today. At the best of times, monday mornings arent most peoples favourite time of the week, but for thousands commuting into work today, things are more of a grind than usual. Announcement rmt strike action will affect our services today. This isnt the first time theres been widespread industrial action over this issue. On southern, its the 39th. This is all over who does what on the trains. On driver only controlled trains, the driver takes over the the safety critical roles, such as opening and closing the doors. Normally, on trains, this is done by the guard. The union wants guarantees over the future of the role of the guard. Passengers at pudsey and yorkshire are resigned to a week of delays and cancellations. Its an absolute nightmare getting to work. Especially today, because the taxis are on a go slow as well. So, im just hoping the train is actually going to come when its supposed to. It needs to stop. Because we need to be at work on time, isnt it . Ijust want to get to college, really. I dont understand why trains are being delayed all the time. The strike started at midnight with over 2,000 rmt members walking out across five rail franchises. All across the country. The union wants more guarantees over the role of the guard and passenger safety. We are in a dispute because theres a million trains a year that actually have the guarantee of a second safety critical guard on the train. The private operators want to get rid of that guarantee and run those trains without that safety critical guard. Rail operators say safety is of paramount importance. Our network is incredibly complex and diverse, we dont think its a one size fits all approach, we want to work with the rmt to make sure any changes we make are fully assessed and we understand the impact of them. In fact, for our business, we have to do what is called a Risk Assessment for any change. Those changes then get independently evaluated by the rail regulator who gives us our licence to operate. Train operators are trying to keep passengers on the move with longer trains and Rail Replacement buses where services are disrupted. The journey home is expected to be worse and for many, they will have to face this all over again on wednesday and friday. Resources are clearly being thrown at getting as many people possible as into the big cities. It will be passengers on the other end of those lines at the other end of the day who will suffer most from cancellations and delays. Thank you. Firefighters have been tackling a small blaze at trump tower in new york. The fire was located on the roof of the building, which is 58 storeys high, and several fire engines could be seen at the bottom of the skyscraper. The president was not in the building at the time, and no injuries were reported. If youre a woman, youre twice as likely to die in the year after having the most serious type of heart attack than a man, thats according to a study conducted in sweden over a decade. Researchers found that women arent always given the same treatment as men and are less likely to receive recommended treatments such as bypass surgery or statins. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes has the details. Five years ago philippa hicken was fit, active and healthy and had just had her second child. Fit, active and healthy and had just had her second childlj fit, active and healthy and had just had her second child. I had my heart attack on. She had been feeling u nwell attack on. She had been feeling unwell for a few days but then she suffered a sudden heart attack that almost killed her. Certainly, i wasnt thinking, im having a heart attack, i need to go to hospital. All i was thinking was, i feel really unwell and i need somebody to listen to me and helped me. And my symptoms, which were a key shoulders, an aching neck, chest, almost like a flu were put down to a virus. Now a new study from sweden raises questions about the treatment of women undergoing the most serious form of heart attack. Those suffering from a total blockage of the coronary artery were 34 less likely to receive procedures which cleared those arteries such as bypass surgery and stents. There will also 24 less likely to be prescribed static medication which helps to prevent a second heart attack and 16 less likely to be given aspirin which helps to prevent blood clots. Women themselves are less likely to recognise symptoms and call for treatment urgently. When it gets to the hospital, Health Professionals a re when it gets to the hospital, Health Professionals are less likely to diagnose accurately that they are having a heart attack. This particular study shows that even when they do, they are probably not treating the women in the same way as men, which is something that should change. More women die from co ro nary should change. More women die from coronary Heart Disease in the uk than from breast cancer. This Study Suggests women may not be getting the same quality of treatment as men. Equally, stars show there are simple ways to improve the chances of those women who do suffer a heart attack. It shows there are several ways. Some pharmacists at boots are worried that work pressures mean patients could be put at risk. A former manager, who flagged up his concerns about understaffing to the industry regulator before he resigned in 2015, has now spoken publicly for the first time to the bbcs inside out programme. Boots says its confident its pharmacies have enough staff. Marie ashby reports. Boots is one of the countrys best known high street names and the largest pharmacy chain in the uk. It has almost 2,400 stores and provides a crucial nhs service. But some pharmacists at boots are worried that the work pressures theyre under could lead to mistakes. Two of the pharmacists we spoke to were prepared to be interviewed, as long as their identity was protected. Their words are spoken by actors. Some days, you would easily describe the team as being at breaking point. Because, simply, the amount of work that has to be done cant physically get done, safely, and it cant physically get done without either working longer hours or working after the stores closed. Mistakes may not be picked up on and that could ultimately lead to somebody possibly dying. The Pharmacists Defence Association union is the Largest Union representing the profession. It supports a third of bootss 6,500 pharmacists and is involved in a legal battle to be recognised as a union, there. Pharmacists have told us, working for boots, that theyre finding that, increasingly, there are less staff available and that makes theirjob a lot more difficult and more pressurised. We have an industry leading Patient Safety record. Im absolutely confident that the resources are there to deliver the patient care. I am confident that we have enough staff. Greg lawton was a former manager who was involved in Patient Safety at boots, until he resigned more than two years ago. He reported his concerns about understaffing to the general pharmaceutical council. They told me that they were going to review their inspection model, as a result. They didnt interview a single person. And they concluded that there wasnt any problem at all. Just over a year ago, the regulator also told him its investigation found there was no systemic failure by boots to provide adequate staff in its pharmacies. Greg, his opinions and his concerns, left the business over two years ago and arent relevant to boots today. We continue to invest in more people, more pharmacists than ever before. Thats into our shops and into our processes, helping to make things more safe. The industry regulator is providing more Patient Safety guidance to Community Pharmacies later this year. Marie ashby, bbc news. Boots pharmacists under pressure an inside out special, on bbc one and the bbc iplayer tonight, at 7 30pm. Three time grand slam champion andy murray has undergone surgery in melbourne, following problems with his hip. The injury has prevented the 30 year old from playing more than exhibition matches since summer last year. Our Sports Correspondent David Ornstein is in salford. Hejust had the he just had the surgery today and hes hoping to be back on court very soon . Thats right, he said 78 weeks until he is hitting tennis balls again and he has been advised 14 weeks until he is back in action, mid april. About the time of the clay court season. But murray has taken to social media to say i look forward to returning to competitive tennis during the grass court season. Perhaps that means queens or even wimbledon, by which time it will be around one years since hes been out. Murray has been no stranger to hip problems throughout his career but it flared up this particular problem at the french open injune. He struggled through wimbledon, losing in the quarterfinals and hasnt played since, pulling out of the us open in august. He was due to return in brisbane last week, but pulled out and withdrew from the Australian Open as we know. He has said surgery was the last resort and that resort has been taken. He said the surgeon who he has known for a decade and is said to be one of the most experienced hip surgeons in the world saw it as a success. Mary seemed to be happy. He said, i will come back from this pointed out it was successful. Come back from this pointed out it was successful. Murray seemed to be happy. He has been quite robust in his reply. He said, im not finished playing tennis yet, the rest of my body feels fantastic. He highlighted it was just this one key problem that was troubling him. He said, ithink problem that was troubling him. He said, i think i will be back on court competing at the highest level again. Good news from andy murray today. Thank you. In cricket, its been a disappointing end to the ashes for england. Theyve lost the final test to give australia a 4 0 victory in the series. Englands captainjoe root made a half century in sydney, despite being treated in hospital before play for severe dehydration. Bowlerjames anderson acknowledged the visitors had lost to a far better side, and said england were now looking to the future. Patrick gearey reports from sydney. England have had three weeks to prepare for these pictures, but that will make them no easier to watch. After a stomach churning series, queasiest of all the captain joe root who arrived at the ground having spent the morning in hospital with a stomach bug. So moeen ali took his place, batted for an hour and then met a familiar end. Dismissed by nathan lyon for the seventh time this series. Incoming, the outpatient. You cant ring in sick if a test match to say. Joe root neston sub 250. Nursed himself to 50. But it was hard going. At lunch he retired. His series ended not by an aussie but by his belly. Australia removed Jonny Bairstow not long later and the rest was nasty, brutish and short. This was exactly the sort of ruthless cricket that has allowed australia to dominate england and win the series with four big victories to none. I do think its been closer than 4 0. I think weve been on top in some games, if not all the games, at some stage. Weve not capitalised on the key moments. All the guys in the dressing room are hurting but that feeling that you get should make you more determined to try and win back the ashes in 2019. The celebrations here are over and its now about picking up the pieces. England have not won a test match in this country in seven years and havent come too much closer to doing so. So, what went wrong . Perhaps the key moment happened in september in bristol. The incident outside a nightclub, which ruled england star ben stokes out of the series. That invited a focus on englands off field behaviour and highlighted minor incidents involving Jonny Bairstow and ben duckett. On the pitch, there have been missed chances with the bat and wider issues with the ball. You know, i talk about the tool box and the captain is only as good as the tool box hes got in his hand. Joe root was missing a spanner and a screwdriver. He didnt have a spinner, he didnt have a quick bowler. England will be back in four years, perhaps even with some of the same players, but to compete in this most raw of cricketing environments much else in the english game may need to change. Time for a look at the weather. Heres chris fawkes. At least the weather isnt leaving us at least the weather isnt leaving us stumped at the moment, quite straightforward today. We have cloudy skies across much of england and wales but further north, a fair bit of sunshine. For many, clear blue skies. These big differences . Its all down to this area of high pressure. In areas of high pressure, air tends to sink down through the atmosphere towards the earths surface. As that happens, the air becomes drier. If that dry air reaches the ground, we get the clear blue sunny skies like we have seen on this weather watcher picture. Thank you. Sometimes, that dry air doesnt quite make its way all the way to the ground, like this
