Sport set a target of at least five medals from next months games in pyeongchang. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. Theresa may has held herfirst meeting with her new cabinet, as she finalises her ministerial reshuffle. This morning, the International Trade minister, mark garnier, who was cleared of misconduct claims last year, announced he had lost hisjob. Separately, thejournalist, toby young, resigned as a member of the new universities watchdog, the office for students, after criticism of derogatory comments hed made in the past about about women, gay people and disabled people. Our political correspondent, alex forsyth, reports. The new look top team, gathered at the cabinet table for the first time today. Theresa mays reshuffle was meant to be something of a reset for the government, but it was far from a dramatic transformation. Plenty of old faces showed up in downing street this morning, including the Health Secretary who kept his job after persuading the Prime Minister not to move him. Are you more powerful than the Prime Minister, mr hunt . There were a few new faces too. There will be two more women around the table, but not in senior roles. And one will be notably missing. Justine greening quit as education secretary. I did what i thought the right thing to do was. She refused a move to another department and left the government instead. Even so, claims the reshuffle had gone wrong were rejected. I think it is very clear the Prime Minister is refreshing the cabinet. Every reshuffle means there is always going to be change, movements around the cabinet, sometimes people leaving the cabinet. Its always sad to see colleagues go, but as i say, the nice problem we have in the conservative party is having such a wide pool of talent. This morning, the moves continued among middle ranking ministers, designed to prove the tory partys diversity, to embrace a new generation of mps and better reflect society. It was hoped this reshuffle would rejuvenate the tory party, renew its appeal to voters and allow theresa may to assert her authority after the troubles of the past 12 months. But with some ministers refusing to move where she wanted and some critics claiming the shake up wasnt radical enough, it didnt quite go to plan. And that wasnt the only reason this political new year got off to a bit of a bumpy start. This morning, toby young resigned from the board of a new university regulator. Well known in the field of education, with some high profile supporters, he had onlyjust been appointed but faced a backlash for offensive comments he had made in the past. Another unwelcome distraction for a government wanting to show it can run smoothly. These things do not help, but if you imagine government is a bit like a ship going from one destination, always buffeted by storms from day to day and this is one of those storms. But i think he has done the right thing in stepping down. It had to happen because he had just crossed too many boundaries. Here it was hoped the Prime Ministers new team would help cut get the new year off to a fresh start but it seems like she cant get shake off scrutiny of her judgment and authority. Alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. Our assistant Political Editor, norman smith, is in downing street. Is todays reshuffle going any better for the Prime Minister than yesterdays . I think what we are seeing is a sort of trail of two reshuffles. Yesterday was much ado about nothing. Today we are seeing a much more extensive shake up of the middle ranks of government as theresa may tries to present a more dynamic, diverse, younger, fresher image of the tory party. We have seen a cull of older ministers, they have been got rid of. Younger male ministers have been reshuffled around, must do better, but we have also seen a steady stream of young female ministers and mps going into downing street, a whole load of them inside at the moment, and i would expect them to be promoted. The problem for mrs may is, will anyone notice . The answer is, probably not. All anyone takes from a reshuffle, is anything, is what happens to the big beasts. Yesterday no movement of the main players. It is a bit like when your clubs second, third 11 get a notable victory on a wednesday evening, but what you really want to know is what is happening with the first team and yesterdays shake up of the first team proved to be a bit of the first team proved to be a bit ofa of the first team proved to be a bit of a nonevent. Norman, thank you. North korea has offered to send a team to the Winter Olympics in south korea, after the two countries held their first talks for more than two years. South korea has also proposed more contact between the two countries, including talks over the norths nuclear programme, in what appears to be a significant move to lower tension in the region. Richard galpin reports. In the demilitarised zone between north and south korea, that atmosphere traditionally suspicious and hostile. But today something very different is afoot. A senior delegation of north korean officials heading to the south korean side for their first formal talks in two yea rs. Their first formal talks in two years. The apparently warm greetings here are radical departures from the recent talk of war breaking out because of the norths Rapid Development of nuclear weapons. The leader of the north korean delegation said he had come in the hope that talks would be held in a sincere and faithful atmosphere. The korean people, he said, had high expectations. It is the Winter Olympics opening next month here in south korea which have provided the opportunity to reduce tensions in the region. And today north korea has confirmed the talks that it will send a team to the games. There is also a suggestion its athletes could enter the Opening Ceremony together with their south korean counterparts. In a further step to improve relations on the divided peninsula, the south Korean Foreign ministry has said sanctions on north korea could be lifted temporarily to ensure the north korean team can come to the Winter Olympics. Until now, south korea and the us have been piling the pressure on pyongyang with intense joint military exercises like this, a clear threat to the north korean regime. And that may be why now the north is keen to talk. Although these meetings could easily go wrong, so these meetings could easily go wrong, so far, that atmosphere seems quite positive, with some believing they could ultimately lead to negotiations between north korea and the us. Richard galpin, bbc news. Rupert Wingfield Hayes is in the south korean capital, seoul. Could it really lead to talks about north Koreas Nuclear programme . It is possible. That has happened in the past. There have been on numerous occasions over the last 20 yea rs numerous occasions over the last 20 years when those sorts of talks have begun and it has fallen apart. There is optimism and hope here today in large part because it has been such a frightening Previous Year here where it has, as richard said, it has at times felt like we have been teetering very close to the edge of the war. There is relief they are talking and relief at the very optimistic and friendly attitude, a real turnaround, the atmosphere at the talks was extremely friendly. However, whether we can get from here to talking about the denuclearisation of the korean peninsular is a completely different question and a very long road and i have to say there are people in the south korean capital i have talked to who said ultimately north Korean Nuclear weapons can be up on the table, at the negotiation, north korea does want peace with the south and the us, but there is a great deal of scepticism here as well. There is a feeling kim jong un has looked into the abyss of conflict with the us and stepped back and is looking for a way to de escalate, a ladder to climb down, using the Winter Olympics as a cover to do that. Rupert, thank you. The prosecution is opening its case against the former football coach, barry bennell, who, it claims, carried out systematic and persistent sexual abuse against boys. The former Crewe Alexandra coach, now known as richard jones, is charged with 55 offences which are alleged to have happened between 1979 and 1991. Our sports editor, dan roan, is at Liverpool Crown court. What happened in court . This is effectively the opening day of the trial and in his opening remarks, the prosecution barrister, nick johnson qc, told thejury the prosecution barrister, nick johnson qc, told the jury mr richard jones, previously known as barry purnell, appearing at Liverpool Crown court by video link because of ill health, pleaded guilty to seven charges, contesting 48 others, he had engaged in what he called the course of conduct over many years involving the systematic and persistent sexual abuse of boys. He tended to repeat the way he behaved. U nfettered tended to repeat the way he behaved. Unfettered access pretty much as a football coach previously to large numbers of young lads, he said, who dreamt of a life in professional football. He said he was a skilled and professional coach but had a much darker side, a predatory and determined paedophile, his particular predeliction being boys. He went on, it among other locations, it had occurred at the grounds of Crewe Alexandra football clu b grounds of Crewe AlexandraFootball Club where he had worked as a coach. Thejury club where he had worked as a coach. The jury was told they would need to decide asjones had has it you were listening to a group of men making up listening to a group of men making up stories, or as the prosecution insists details of serious sexual offending against vulnerable boys. The trial is expected to last for the next eight weeks. Thank you.

Proposals to ban parents and carers in wales from smacking their children have been published. Ministers say smacking is no longer acceptable and want to follow scotland in outlawing the physical punishment of children. But campaigners against a change fear it could criminalise ordinary parents. Sian lloyd has the details. Its the turn of the people of wales to say where they stand on smacking. The government here wants to see it banned. Its plans would see the defence of reasonable punishment removed from the offences of assault and battery. Similar proposals have already been announced in scotland. The Welsh Government says it wants to bring in the move as part of a wider package of measures to support young people. Many more parents now will say the approach to positive parenting, not using physical punishment, is what they do as a matter of course. But i think that will make that the norm across society to show that physical punishment of children is not only not necessary but shouldnt be allowed. There will now be a 12 week consultation, allowing the welsh public to contribute to the debate. No, i dont think its appropriate to smack children, because i dont think it is productive, really. I dont think that stops them from behaving a certain way. A little tap like that on the hand i dont think is terrible, but, no, not, you know, a big whack. If you are teaching them not to be violent or hit people, you shouldnt hit them. Its hypocritical. The Welsh Governments plans are already being supported by the childrens commissioner for wales and some childrens charities, including the nspcc. But others are critical, claiming most parents know where to draw the line between chastisement and abuse, and that their judgment should be trusted. Sian lloyd, bbc news, cardiff bay. The number of people waiting more than four hours in scotlands accident and Emergency Departments reached record levels in the last week of 2017. The latest weekly figures show that just 78 of patients across scotland were seen within the target time well below the governments 95 target and the lowest since figures began nearly three years ago. Our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, is in glasgow. How unexpected are these figures . We knew the number of people suffering from flu has doubled compared to the same period last year, but what the figures released this morning show is there is a real increase in waiting times for some of those people who have been attending a e with just over a fifth of those attending a e in scotland not admitted discharged or transferred within four hours, which is the government target. Now, health board here in scotland have been taking measures to try and cope with the challenge, we are seeing some gps opening on saturdays in some gps opening on saturdays in some area, others are increasing shifts, other airsia cancelled non urgent surgery. The Health Secretary here has apologised, so too as the first minister, she says nhs scotland is facing exceptional pressures but insisted that the Health Service is coping, opposition parties here are being very critical of these figure, and the conservatives say they are nothing short of a disgrace.
