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. Theres expected to be disruption for rail commuters today, with strikes affecting five Different Networks across the uk. Members of the rmt union say theyre walking out over a continuing dispute about train guards. The Train Companies 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. There are growing fears of an environmental disaster in the East China Sea as a huge tanker continues to leak oil two days after colliding with a cargo ship.

Sydney in australia is experiencing its hottest weather in nearly 80 years as temperatures reached over 47 degrees celsius yesterday. Not really cricket weather but they have been playing their there have been several major bushfires and a total fire ban has been put in place across the city. The fire service says there has been no significant loss of property. Extremely hot temperatures, isnt it . Talking about cricket, that is where. Talking about cricket, that is where. Joe talking about cricket, that is where. Joe root was struggling in those temperatures and thankfully the ashes is over. Feels like weekend all heave a sigh of, not waking up in the morning, checking the phone and that sinking feeling again. 47 in sydney but in the centre of the scg, where they were playing, it was 55 degrees. Imagine standing out there and facing the australian paceman, which puts you under the cosh anyway, and joe root has got gastro, obviously that is something to do with a virus or something to do with a virus or something he has eaten but the heat and the dehydration cant help, can it . A pretty dire situation for england, beaten again, they lost the fifth and final test in sydney by an innings and 123 runs. They had to bat all day and had to manage without a fully fitjoe root. Gastroentiritis meant the captain only came in after the first hours play and had to retire after lunch. England were bowled out for 180 meaning asutralia win the ashes series 4 0. Fa cup holders arsenal are out of this seasons competition. They were beaten by championship side Nottingham Forest 4 2. It wasnt the only shock as League Two Newport beat leeds united. Manchester city women have maintained their 100 record in the league, six wins out of six, with a 5 2 victory at reading. Elsewhere, second placed chelsea ladies beat arsenal to stay within two points of city at the top of the table. Saracens were back to their best against wasps in the premiership, securing a bonus point victory. There was a slip up for League Leaders exeter, though. They were beaten by newcastle. Some big names making a return for saracens atwal, which looks good for england going into the six nations. We will be talking about var later . We will be talking about var later . We well, video assisted refereeing. I love it when you let her say that, dan you know when they do that in by dan you know when they do that in rugby and you go and look to see the replay to see what happened with decisions that have been made and whether theyre wrong or not, they will do it for the first time in a football match in england tonight, palace against brighton in the fa cup. Its interesting, isnt it . People complain it might delay things. Only you for certain Game Changing incidents, though. It can be done relatively quickly. Some referees will use it a lot, some referees will use it a lot, some referees will use it a lot, some referees will use it too often, but basically 96 of decisions by the top referees are correct. They are only wrong 4 of the time. Amazing, isnt only wrong 496 of the time. Amazing, isnt it . And only for clear and obvious mistakes, if someone has gonein obvious mistakes, if someone has gone in with two feet and the referee has missed it. |j gone in with two feet and the referee has missed it. I get the feeling low wheezes wanting to move on only because im being told, but imight on only because im being told, but i might have to change my dress, carol i arent exactly wearing the same dress but it sort of looks like it i have the same crisis, thinking, have i got another dress . 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. We wont, thank you. We will see you later. And cat will stay with us to look at the papers. Shall we start on the front of the times, Carrie Gracie, the bbc china editor, has resigned from the role citing equal pay at the corporation, accusing the bbc of breaking a law and quits over the pay. She has written a letter to the bbc as well. That is on the times website. The daily mail, a picture of reese witherspoon.

The Daily Telegraph have a picture of Carrie Gracie and we were mentioning this thing about video referee is taking to the field. There is going to be a reshuffle and we will talk about that through the programme this morning. And the telegraph have this line which we have tried to get a hold of to see if it is true or not, whether theresa may will have no deal brexit minister as part of the reshuffle in case a no deal happens. No fabrication of that. Not yet. Britain in the grip of a killerflu. Have you had a sniffle . Britain in the grip of a killerflu. Have you had a sniffle . |j britain in the grip of a killerflu. Have you had a sniffle . I have not had the flu. You know how we talked about the man flu. Yes. I had a proper bout of man flu. Does it mean that you cant get out of bed . struggled through, dont worry. Well done. When was it . Last week, two days, tough for everyone. And royals in blue, all smiles as they become sketch shown.

Wattel is . The front of the guardian as well what else . The editor of the guardian between 1975 and 1995 died at the age of 75 and some lovely tributes to him inside the paper today. And may moves to assert control with the reshuffle and that is the main story ona number of reshuffle and that is the main story on a number of the front pages this morning. What have you got . Some nice pictures stories in the telegraph, talking about the fact that england were on the brink when the papers went to the press of losing the fifth and final ashes test. Here are the marsh brothers, the vague glimmer of hope, that marsh brothers, Mitchell Marsh bringing up his century at the crease with his brother shaun, who had already scored his century. They stop halfway down to embrace and realised that they havent finished the run. England had the idea of getting them out. You can see steve smith is finished the run u nfortu nately, smith is finished the run unfortunately, they didnt. And then in the mail they have an interesting photo diary of philip patinos lovely day travelling to barcelona coutino. Yes, on his private plane moving to barcelona to sign the 142 million. A lot. And he is all smiles, as you can imagine, as he is becoming a barcelona superstar. That is an interesting one, which links with the story from the daily mail, dont sit back and enjoy the flight, ba axis reclining seats. And other airlines have already done that. Axes. They can get 12 more seats into each aircraft. I had a nasty incident with a reclining seat. I was bending down to pick something up under the seatin down to pick something up under the seat in front, and when i went down, iam quite seat in front, and when i went down, i am quite tall anyway, so it was wedged, the guy in front reclined his seat and i was, i am not kidding, imagine me fully wedged, i cant tap on the seat because my arms were like this, so in that most British Fashion ever i said, excuse me, ithink British Fashion ever i said, excuse me, i think you might be breaking my back. The good news is it wont happen any more. You can fit your legs in because of the gaps between the seats. Basically, stay in the uk. It is a good story for tall people. Absolutely. We will have more on the papers a little bit later. Some pharmacists at boots are worried that work pressures mean patients could be being put at risk. A former manager blew the whistle to the industry regulator about his understaffing concerns before he resigned in 2015. Hes 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 2400 stores and provides a crucial nhs service. But some pharmacists at boots are worried that the work pressure they are 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 a breaking point. That is because simply the amount of work that has to be done cannot physically get done safely and it cant physically get done without working longer hours or working after the store has closed. Mistakes may not be picked up on and that could ultimately lead to somebody possibly dying. The Pharmacist Defence Association union is the Largest Union representing the profession. It supports a third of boots 6500 pharmacist and is involved in a legal battle to be recognised as the union. Farmers as have told us working for boots that they are finding increasingly that there are less staff available and that makes theirjob a lot more difficult and more pressurised. We have an industry leading Patient Safety record, i am absolutely confident that the resources are there to deliver the patient care. I am confident we have enough staff. Greg orton was a former manager involved in Patient Safety at boots until he resigned more than two yea rs 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 and they didnt interview a single person. And they concluded that there wasnt any problem all. Just over a year ago the regulator also told him it is investigating its investigation found no systemic failure by boots to provide adequate staff in its pharmacy. Greg, his opinions and his concerns, pharmacy. Greg, his opinions and his concerns, left the business over two years ago and not relevant to boots today. We continue to invest in more people, more pharmacist than ever before, into alli shops and into our processes to help to make things more say. The industry regulator is providing more Patient Safety guidance to Community Pharmacies later this year. And you can see boots pharmacists under pressure . An inside out special tonight, on bbc one and on the bbc iplayer. British manufacturers are enjoying a boom with order books busier than theyve been in decades, thanks mainly to the weak pound, which is making the things we produce in the uk cheaper abroad. Steph is at the uks biggest manufacturer of household Plastic Products, which exports to over 70 countries. I thought last night you were in a bucket factory but there is much more to this than buckets. Oh, i have bucketloads of business for you and yes, there is much more to it than that. Let me explain the process. You can see the machine here. You basically get lots of liquid plastic squished into the mould and then it is cooled down very quickly and seconds later outcomes this bin lid on their side. They are making lots of different containers. The reason we have come to this business is because it is a manufacturer that is seeing growth and, in particular, their exports are increasing. So they have been trying to work out like Many Companies what it would mean when we leave the eu for their business. So they have been looking at trying to get more businesses in other countries outside of the eu. They are managing to do that quite successfully here as well. There is about 230 people who work here in this factory at the moment. It is a 24 7 operation thats going on. And for them at the moment about 17 of what they make is exported abroad. They make Something Like over 5 million different products here every single month. So lots of these machines constantly running. And they have invested quite a lot of money in this machinery is well over the last few years. That is to try to update game, to try to be competitive with the rest of the world when it comes to making things like this. Because they are in high demand. And the reason we are talking about this this morning is because, as you set at the beginning, this is an industry that is seeing some optimism at the moment. So we are seeing exports growing a bit. And thats because a lot of things to do with the currency, the fact that the pound has fallen against other currencies, and that has meant that they have been able to sell these products more cheaply abroad. But for them raw material costs have been going up. So it is a balance trying together right. Im going to speak together right. Im going to speak to the boss here later on about this. First, lets get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. Good morning from bbc london news. Im victoria hollins. An academic who was viciously beaten in his home by burglars is taking the london mayor to a judicial review over plans to close local Police Stations.

Lets have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. Good morning. It is a cold start this monday morning but we do have quite a bit of cloud and that has helped the temperature stay above zero. It should stay mostly dry as well. I say it is mostly dry. The cloud is big enough to produce light rain and drizzle but only over high ground. Lots of places of with that. There is a cold easterly as well and that makes the temperature feel a little bit cold. The maximum is five or six degrees by the end of the afternoon. Overnight tonight we hang on to the cloud, some isolated drizzle, but we will see the windfall a little bit lighter and mist and fog patches developing. It is going to be a very misty and murky note and that is going to linger into tuesday morning. The minimum temperature between three and four degrees. Tomorrow, and misty and murky start, and in fact the nest and fog is going to linger, it will take time to lift. It could start to lift into the afternoon but it will be rather grey tomorrow mist. The temperature, still feeling quite chilly as well, the maximum around seven celsius. A bit of an improvement into wednesday.

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.

More on that through the morning for you. The bbc china editor editor Carrie Gracie has stepped down because of what she called an indefensible pay gap at the corporation.

There are growing fears this morning that environmental disaster in the East China Sea is a huge tanker continues to leak oil after colliding with a cargo ship two days ago. The iranian vessel, carrying around 1 Million Barrels of oil to south korea, is still on fire and rescue efforts are being hampered by a large oil slick and dense clouds of smoke. 32 iranian crewmembers are still missing. Thats a summary of the latest news. Kat is here to talk about the sport. Good morning. Thats sums it up, that picture, the Australian Team celebrating over the pink wickets at the Sydney Cricket Ground and James Anderson walking off despondently. James anderson is always the final wicket to fall and it has been for the couple of ashes tours down under, trudging off as england concede defeat. The ashes are finally over. Great relief for all involved particularly patrick gearey, who is in sydney and we will speak to him ina in sydney and we will speak to him in a couple of minutes. England beaten again, they lost the fifth and final test, bitten by an innings and final test, bitten by an innings and 123. They had to back all day and 123. They had to back all day and joe root was hospitalised with gastro, he only came on in the first hour and retired after lunch but he made 50. England were bowled out for 180, meaning australia win the ashes series 4 0. Thejob is done 180, meaning australia win the ashes series 4 0. The job is done for england and for patrick gearey, our reporter in sydney, hes been following the last couple of tests. This has to be one of the worst days of this ashes tour, particularly for poor old joe root, who is in hospital . It is up there or down there as the case may be. Not long ago we had a storm here, it felt appropriate for england, too late to save them, a sickening day all too literally forjoe root. When we got here this morning we found out he was in hospital with a stomach bug with dehydration so he couldnt carry on, moeen ali went out in his place, moeen lasted an hour before nathan lyon got him again and then root went in, you cant ring in sick if youre the england captain, he got 250 and got england captain, he got 250 and got england to the lunchbreak but it got too much, he couldnt carry on and australia gotjonny too much, he couldnt carry on and australia got Jonny Bairstow too much, he couldnt carry on and australia gotJonny Bairstow and then blew away the england fail enders after that to complete an emphatic 4 0 victory and the celebrations went on long. We didnt seem a route at the crease and not either in the post match press conference, he had to recover so in his place was jimmy conference, he had to recover so in his place wasjimmy anderson we didnt seem a group. We knew they would win, weve known it for a while, seeing them do it in person as tough. We didnt play well enough, we have to give them credit. They are well within their rights to be over the moon with that win. I do think its been closer than 4 0. Weve been on top in some games, if not all the games at some stage. Weve just not capitalised on the key moments. Lots of talk on social media, it was late for the papers, that england defeat, about a crisis in english cricket, about where english cricket goes now. Theyve got the 1 dayers and the t20s to play in australia but for test cricket is looking pretty dire as far as are concerned . At home england are still a decent tea m at home england are still a decent team and they play england and pakistan at home this summer, australia at home next summer and theyll be confident for that but its about these trips to australia and the next one is in 2021 and thoughts are turning to then. If you speak to the likes of Michael Vaughan and graeme swann, who knows what it takes to win and lose the ashes, they say english cricket needs to have a serious and honest conversation about itself, how it prepares for these trips and the kind of players its bringing here. Its not easy to win in australia, england havent done it for seven yea rs, england havent done it for seven years, but to do so they might have to change a bit about themselves.

See you a little bit later. Lets return to one of our main stories and campaigning and Sexual Harassment and assault in lee wood has dominated the Golden Globes overnight. Most stars dressed in black in support of victims in hollywood. Were here because were standing in solidarity and unity and mara and i both wanted to stand behind this movement that said times up against violence against women and girls and the imbalance in power in all industries, not just the imbalance in power in all industries, notjust hollywood, but all industries. All over the world, all industries. All over the world, a message to everyone saying were all in it together, its notjust about our industry but every industry and everyone around the world, were all behind you in whatever way they that is. Theres no way that im ever going to be ina theres no way that im ever going to be in a room and be treated in the way people have been treated and not stand up. The whole reason that could take place like any abuse of plowright is silence, i dont feel like that any more. Joining us is the one critic anna smith showbiz journalist gail joining us is the one critic anna smith showbizjournalist gail murphy joins us from la. Thanks forjoining us. We will talk about the movies in a moment but the whole event was so dominated by this campaign, timesup, metoo, what do you make of it . Fantastic, as a woman and a Film Industry than it was very movement, amazing to see the solidarity of the women, alongside the men, almost all wearing black, talking about harassment and equality on the red carpet and when they took to the stage. Very exciting. Gail, an interesting atmosphere in the room, some people almost old navy about what to say on that occasion but Oprah Winfrey rightly grabbed many of the headlines with a really powerful speech . She tore up the place and literally ate the scenery. She came out like a force of nature and explained how in 1965 when she was a young girl she was 1965 when she was a young girl she was watching tv on the floor at her mums house and it happened to be and bancroft giving sydney poitier his oscar and she had never seen anyone who looked like her before in that situation before and she said it changed her life and she realised young girls will be watching her tonight and her goal is to change their lives as well. She said some really interesting stuff and i know ican share really interesting stuff and i know i can share a couple of things with you. She called out tyrants, secret holders, liars, she said she values the press now more than she ever has before and she said speaking your truth is the most powerful tool you have and this year, we became the story, meaning all the women and all the enlightened men. Anna smith, youve been covering films for many yea rs youve been covering films for many years now, do you sense there is a sentiment there and do you think things will change and are changing . Will we see that in the films will be watching in the future . will we see that in the films will be watching in the future . I hope so. If you look at the films that have been honoured, three billboards outside ebbing, missouri, a strong woman fighting back against the establishment. Ladybird is a womans story as well. This year is the beginning of a shift and it is the first time we have seen women stand together and make such a loud statement but as Natalie Portman pointed out, we need more women directors honoured and recognised andi directors honoured and recognised and i hope this is the beginning of and i hope this is the beginning of a shift where people take those issues more seriously. Gayl, ifi can ask about seth meyers, people we re can ask about seth meyers, people were concerned about having a comedian hosting, some opening comments included good evening, ladies, and the remaining gentleman, and he made some blatantjokes about hartley weinstein as well . There was, like, a sucking in ofair throughout the entire room would, which you could feel through the television. He opened up by saying happy new year, hollywood, its 2018, marijuana is legal and Sexual Harassment is finally not the asked the audience to look back on a day when comedian seth rogen was the only real threat to north korea when they hacked sony films in the interview in 2014. It was like a machine gun. He had commentary after commentary after commentary after commentary after commentary and i thought he did a fabulousjob. Commentary and i thought he did a fabulous job. Thanks very much. Youre coming back a bit later and i promise we will talk more about who actually won as well. Ewan mcgregor was a winner, wasnt he, gary oldman as well, and big little lies, and Nicole Kidman had an award in that as all. Lets have a catch up on the weather, carol is looking at it, and weather, carol is looking at it, and we are almost wearing the same dress. Good morning. Good taste. This morning it is a cold start to the day. In southern scotland and Northern England temperature is currently 7 so there is frost around not just in currently 7 so there is frost around notjust in those areas, in other areas, a cold start but at the middle of the week we have some rain and in the latter part of the week we have it wont be quite as cold. Some of us will see a return to double figure temperatures. This morning you can see where we have the clear skies as we push northwards. This is where we have the lowest temperatures especially in ruralareas, so the lowest temperatures especially in rural areas, so you the lowest temperatures especially in ruralareas, so you might find the lowest temperatures especially in rural areas, so you might find a little ice here and there this morning, certainly some frost, these temperatures of course in towns and cities. Much lower, as i mentioned, across southern scotland and Northern England. Across the central lowla nds Northern England. Across the Central Lowlands they are low as well. Coming into south wales, the midlands, southern england generally, heading towards kent and east anglia, there is more cloud around this morning and that is producing some patchy drizzle and as a result it is not quite as cold. Mind you if you are stepping out there is no heat wave either and it is quite breezy in the south. So can head with yesterday when we had all the sunshine and it was a pleasant day it will be cloudy in the south and it will move northwards, into the southern parts of Northern England by the afternoon and Still Producing the odd bit of drizzle, the odd snow grain here and there especially on the hills. For the rest of Northern England, scotland and Northern Ireland a bright day with some sunshine but a noticeable wind down the east coast, so it will feel coolly here, the wind into the evening and overnight, the cloud pushes northwards to all but the final first scotland and then the wind picks up once again in the west. Touching gale force with exposure. It will be a cold night, temperatures in glasgow freezing, further south we have three, but not as cold as the night is gone. So tomorrow we hang onto the not much breeze in the uk, however and other weather system from the atlantic is going to introduce further spells of rain and again it will be windy in the west. So a lot of cloud around, still some drizzle coming out of this on higher ground, when it engages with the cold air, we could see some snow grains but there will be some bright breaks coming through as well. However, you cant fail but notice this line of rain coming from the west. Temperatures in plymouth by the end of the afternoon getting up by the end of the afternoon getting up to about10 by the end of the afternoon getting up to about 10 celsius. During the course of tuesday into wednesday that weather front will wriggle towards the east and in doing so it will lose some of its energy. So the rain on it will become more patchy in nature. Behind it on wednesday it would tend to dry out. So here is the rain. You can see the light of it. It is moving west to east, fragmenting, again on the hills we could see a little bit a wintry nurse. No problems at lower levels and then behind it some bright brea ks and then behind it some bright breaks and a recovery in those temperatures. It wont feel as cold by the time we get to wednesday. Ok. That is good. Thank you. See you later. Now, where would we send steph to find out about british manufacturers and how they are feeling . Will you a nswer and how they are feeling . Will you answer this question . and how they are feeling . Will you answer this question . I was hoping it would not be a bucket factory. I think we are under selling it. Although there are buckets. Think we are under selling it. Although there are bucketsm think we are under selling it. Although there are buckets. It is much more than just pockets. Good morning. Good morning. I have loads of buclets here for you. I have bucketloads of business news. As you say, this business is and manufacturer and you can see some of these been little is to this is gavin who started at six oclock this morning and he will work until six oclock this evening. This is a 24 7 operation and i am pleased to say it is a business that is growing and it is doing well from selling this type of stuff abroad. They have seen exports increase. Tony is the boss. Good morning. Lets have a walk around. This is doing quite well at the moment. Yes, it is going quite well. We havejust well at the moment. Yes, it is going quite well. We have just made a major investment of £8 million on Injection Moulding machines. These machines need filling with orders because they give us more capacity. So although we have plenty to do we are waiting for more to do. And you have been looking at growing your business, have a new, in the export market . Yes, around 2008 we made another investment and the boss said ivm another investment and the boss said im going to spend a lot of money, what can you do with the capacity . And at the time we dealt with the republic of ireland only and so he gave us the answer and told us we will export and that is what we are being doing since 2008. How difficult or easy has it been . M being doing since 2008. How difficult or easy has it been . If i say it has been easy everyone else will do it and make it difficult in the future but what we have got is we have made Major Investments which has made it easier. The boss has invested in new machinery, new Product Development and even more importantly he has invested in our people so yes, because of that, it has not been difficult. I am not saying it is easy but it hasnt been difficult. What about the future, how are you feeling about that . Very confident. We will spend another £3 million on even more new machinery. So it just takes million on even more new machinery. So itjust takes us to another level. And our boss would not spend a penny, he is not tight, by the way, but he would not spend a penny if he did not see something as an endgame. That is lucky, isnt it . Carry on. Thank you for your time. Fascinating to see this place. My firstjob when i worked in engineering was a plastic injection wobbling company so i am excited to be here and i keep threatening tony i would come on a machine and start to change the variables. Here we are. We have stephen here as well from the Manufacturing Association which represents manufacturers, called eef. We have heard about the picture from tony on this business. What is the Bigger Picture like . The Bigger Picture is we have seen a really strong here last year in manufacturing in this country and we have completed a survey of executives from many other Manufacturing Companies in the country and we have seen an optimistic future for this year as well at also balanced with risks around it. Generally speaking a positive direction for the year. Tony was talking about trying to grow the business in the foreign markets to export more and it particular he has been telling me about trying to grow outside the eu. Is that the case with manufacturers, they are looking at those opportunities . It is a case of both. We are seeing those companies with strong integrated supply chain is doing very well in europe as europe recovers and we are seeing Global Opportunities coming as well. And of course the Exchange Rate has helped that in terms of exporting and also it poses a risk in terms of cost for materials because they get more expensive as the Exchange Rate changes. Should we be feeling optimistic about the future of manufacturing . We should be feeling optimistic, we feel optimistic, we have to make sure we do brexit properly and we cope with threats like Cyber Security as well which is another thing coming out strongly in the survey. Interesting. Thank you for your time. I appreciate that. You can have a look at the machine. Here is a man moving a big bit of kit as well and he is moving this machine to get the next mould. These are all plastic injection moulds that you can see as well down next to me and so these big bits of kit, where they get the plastic, they hit it up to be kept richer, then they squeeze it through the moulds, then they call it up and then out comes a bin lid or eight bucket or a storage container and i will show you as many buckets as i can and chat with various people as well when i can about it. Thank you very much indeed. So many reasons to watch. Life buckets later on. Look at this, i feel i life buckets later on. Look at this, ifeel i am life buckets later on.

If you have been left in pain after digging a flowerbed or a vegetable patchit digging a flowerbed or a vegetable patch it could be apparently that the digging action you are using to blame. Scientists at Coventry University are using Technology Developed by moviemakers in hollywood to look at the impact of digging and they are trying to establish more effective and less damaging shovel technique. Tim muffet has been investigating. Good for the ground, often bad for the body. As volunteers at Castle Bromwich hall gardens near birmingham no, digging can hurt. get a birmingham no, digging can hurt. geta pain birmingham no, digging can hurt. get a pain in birmingham no, digging can hurt. geta pain in my birmingham no, digging can hurt. get a pain in my back now and again know. Get a pain in my back now and again know. Lower back pain if you are sort of bending too much. know. Lower back pain if you are sort of bending too much. I damaged a martial in my shoulder blade and had to stop gardening for a couple of months. For most gardeners digging is fundamental to manage weeds, you can incorporate organic matter and manage soil. Most will report eight and pain from digging in the garden and what we hope to do is to advise them on how to do it better. Gardeners world presenter frances topol is proof age isnt the issue. So what kind of tweaks or back pains do you get when you are digging . Quite a few after years of doing it. The bending and lifting, my lower back and hit struggle. But it is part of the job and you are not always thinking about what is best for your body. You are thinking how to do it as quickly and well as you can. I am 30 but if this is me now than in 20 or 30 over the years up now than in 20 or 30 over the years up three time when i am still gardening how is your back going to be affected . You are keen to find out the best way to deal with it . Absolutely. This project has taken inspiration from somewhere really associated with gardening, a place where technology and creativity combine. Hollywood. Action. Motion ca ptu re combine. Hollywood. Action. Motion capture is often used in movies. Special suits record actors movements, bringing animated characters to life. But the team at Coventry University have been using it on gardeners. I am being connected to some senses which i will then go and dig and they will ta ke will then go and dig and they will take all the data back about how my bodyis take all the data back about how my body is moving sensors. Take all the data back about how my body is moving sensors. Ready . Go. We are recording exactly how she is moving during the digging technique. Gardening can be great exercise. The idea here is to ensure it brings pleasure, not pain. Weve now analyse the results that we got from you digging outside and what weve got is a video showing the muscle activities up on the screen and what he can see is that you are working away from the body and the consequence of that is you have got lots of red in your back in your long region lumbar reading. Lots of red in your back in your long region lumbar reading. This is bad. It is bad technique because of the turning force. The teams analysis of 600 muscles have shown that bad digging doubles the load on joint teams. That bad digging doubles the load on joint teams. Try and keep the work as close in as possible so to avoid overreaching and twisting the back, which is what is doing the damage. Just a small step forwards would say that whole strain. Absolutely true. Here is how it should be done, steady action, bent knees, stayed close to the body. It is hoped this two year academic study will ease the pain for millions of gardeners. I think weve got it, steady action, bent knees. A small steps forward. And keep the stayed close, dont reach with your spade. Keep it tight in with the body. I love that they do an academic study. Lots of people will be thinking i have hurt my back before and maybe that could make the difference. One of those Academic Studies that is worth the dosh and the time, if it makes a difference to so many peoples backs, then well done everyone. Time for the news, travel and weather where you are. We will have the news at 7am. See you then. Good morning from bbc london news. Im victoria hollins.

A shake up at the top of the government as theresa may prepares to unveil a Cabinet Reshuffle. With speculation rife over a number of key positions, its expected that more female and ethnic minority mps will be promoted to the top table. Good morning, its monday the 8th of january. Also this morning a new day is on the horizon and when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women.

A bit more drizzle in the south. More in about 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. Good morning to you once again, ben. Thank you for braving the conditions for us this morning, and the wind. Lots of speculation about who will get thejobs lots of speculation about who will get the Jobs Available and we will find out in the next few hours . We should do, thats right, a nervous day for sitting members of the cabinet waiting to see if they will be kept or whether they will get the chop and for up and coming ambitious tory ministers, a day to keep your phone close to see if you get the call from the Prime Minister. Theres huge amounts of speculations about what will happen, anyone who knows what will happen is the Prime Minister. Les run through some of the speculation. The big names in the speculation. The big names in the cabinet we expect to stay in place, borisjohnson, the cabinet we expect to stay in place, Boris Johnson, the the cabinet we expect to stay in place, borisjohnson, the foreign secretary, Philip Hammond, the chancellor and amber rudd, the home secretary and the brexit secratary, david davis. Middle ranking ministers, theres a clear hole at the Cabinet Office, where damian green had a very powerfuljob, he was sacked just before christmas. Theres some speculationjeremy hunt, currently the Health Secretary, he could be moved into that position but over the weekend labour were quick to say considering the crisis and the difficulties in the crisis and the difficulties in the nhs at the moment, that would be a brave move the Prime Minister to movejeremy a brave move the Prime Minister to move jeremy hunt but a brave move the Prime Minister to movejeremy hunt but keep an eye on him today. Speculation about patrick mcloughlin, hes the tory party chairman, after their dreadful election last year, he looks vulnerable and speculation around Justine Greening, the education secretary, lots of spec elation over the weekend that she might be moved. But as you said, theresa may will be wanting to show she has a grip on her party, her government, that she has some imagination, there is pressure in parliament with tory mps for her to bring in some of the 20 15th intake, 2010 intake, fresh blood, she is naturally a cautious politician and given the government feels fragile still, i dont think she will be wanting to do anything to dramatic. We will be keeping a close eye on things. Thanks for that. Coverage on the bbc news channel through the day and there will be a camera outside downing street to see whos going in and coming out. Whether they are smiling. Ben said, if you get a text, a re smiling. Ben said, if you get a text, are you in or out. I dont know why youre checking your phone im the new foreign secretary 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. Our north american correspondent james cook was watching. 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. 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 redcarpet weve heard the same word and that word is change. The stars walking down here are insisting that this is not just a moment, this is a process which they say will continue. James cook, bbc news, at the Golden Globes in hollywood. One of those nights where the people who won are secondary headlines to what took place. Among the british winners, gary oldman, who won best actor for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in the darkest hour. Ewan mcgregor and martin donna also picked up awards. Peter bowes joins us, metoo and timesup dominated but what did you make of the tone and what was said . As meryl streep put it, this was a thick black line in solidarity with the victims of Sexual Harassment and assault and that is how she wanted it to play out. She and many other actresses by wearing black on the red carpet, it looked a little funereal to be honest but lots of people said this, this was an event about the celebration of the death of old hollywood, the old ways of doing it, the casting couch culture that prevailed for so long in hollywood. Weve heard a bit of Oprah Winfrey, she stole the show, she absolutely encapsulated the mood saying the truth of speaking your truth is the most powerful tool that we have and she got quite a standing ovation. Youre right, the awards themselves were kind of relegated in importance. Three three billboards outside ebbing, missouri was the big, that did well, coming out soon, but the moment was Oprah Winfreys, a huge of asian also for a 101 year old kirk douglas, brought onstage by her daughter in law Catherine Zeta jones onstage by her daughter in law Catherine Zeta jones onstage by her daughter in law Catherine Zeta jones huge of asian. 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 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. Amol rajan, bbc news. In response a number of bbc journalists have spoken out in support of Carrie Gracie. Bbc women, a group of more than 130 broadcasters and producers, has issued a statement this morning saying its hugely regrettable she feels she has no option but to resign. Speaking on the today Programme Today on bbc four Carrie Gracie said the reaction to her letter has been very moving. The scale of feeling, notjust among bbc women, but also more widely across the country and internationally, the support ive had in the last few hours over this, i think it does speak to the depth of hungerfor i think it does speak to the depth of hunger for an equal fair and transparent pay system. Carrie gracie, shes presenting the today programme this morning and we will be speaking to an employment lawyer later about this on brea kfast. Theres expected to be disruption for rail commuters today, with strikes affecting five Different Networks across the uk. Members of the rmt union say theyre walking out over a continuing dispute about train guards. Ian palmerjoins ian palmer joins us ian palmerjoins us from waterloo this morning. A few demonstrators behind you. How widespread a problem will this be this morning . Very widespread. There are five Companies Involved in these each of the companies will try to operate a fairly normal service. South western railway says it will operate 70 of its normal timetable and Greater Anglia said it will try to run 50 . These strikes, rmt members on strike for the next 24 hours, will disrupt some services. It started today, it will carry on until midnight tonight and then there will be a second strike on wednesday for 24 hours and a third on friday. Because of those disruptions, Replacement Bus Services will be put in place where services will be put in place where services are greatest affected. The rmt says its calling for a meeting with Train Operating Companies and the government but so far we havent heard from the transport secretary chris grayling. Good to talk to you. Thanks very much. More detail on that can be found on your bbc radio 4 station locally and also on the website about the services particularly affected. New measures to tackle the sale of unsafe laser pens, which can cause blindness, have been announced by the government today.

Sydney in australia is experiencing its hottest weather in nearly eighty youre watching bbc breakfast. We will take you back to the main story. Rumours about todays Cabinet Reshuffle have been swirling around westminster all weekend. Theresa may reportedly wants to banish the pale, male and stale image of the conservative party by promoting more female and ethnic minority mps into her cabinet. Labour have dismissed the announcement as little more than a desperate pr exercise. Were joined now from westminster by kevin mcguire, associate editor at the daily mirror, and andrew pierce, consultant editor at the daily mail. Morning. Lovely to speak to you, as always. Andrew, first of all, what he she going to try to do with his reshuffle . He she going to try to do with his reshuffle . She has to show that the government is notjust about brexit, that there is a wider agenda, so there is a lot of speculation, Justine Greening, education secretary, has got the job because of the view privately that the tories were damaged on education at the last election. She will probably replace damian green with an effective deputy Prime Minister or first secretary of state, it could bejeremy first secretary of state, it could be jeremy hunt, who first secretary of state, it could bejeremy hunt, who i think handled the nhs quite well, considering how many years he has been doing the job. Mcguire seems to think he has done it appallingly. That is a badge of honour if he doesnt agree. A big promotion for him which he will want to bring forward, more women and people from ethnic minorities. She has to show after the setback of the last general election she is in charge and it is notjust about brexit. Ok. I can guess what you may say about this. Of course you can. Can she make this a cabinet notjust about brexit . She will attempt to do that but brexit looms over everything she does and it is such a huge decision for britain that will define the country for generations to come, the type of deal she gets. She was to show she is in charge. She was to show she is in charge. She could not do the reshuffle she wanted after the general election and we know the chancellor Philip Hammond and foreign secretary Boris Johnson would have been moved. We dont know that. Johnson would have been moved. We dont know that. She still cant move them. The big people will be there. She has to show she has big ideas. I have seen little evidence so far. New faces an old policies means it wont change anything. You can save jeremy hunt has had great success. Patients stuck in the back of ambulances, having operations cancelled, would disagree. If you have new faces you have to come with policies otherwise we are stuck where we are. Can they come in with new policies . Why not. She will also bring ina new policies . Why not. She will also bring in a new chairman. The chairman of the tory party, a very nice man, but useless in thejob. It would be interesting to see if she put some like brandon lewis, immigration minister, in thejob, straight talking guy. She wants to make it a big job again and she needs to because tory partly Party Membership is revealing and shrinking. This lot have 550,000 members. Which is a big fighting force for the next general election. The tories are struggling at hundred thousand. Kevin, on the front of one of the papers, we dont have it confirmed, she might appoint a no deal brexit minister. Would it be a goodidea . Deal brexit minister. Would it be a good idea . Yes, in the Brexit Department steve baker is a hardline racks brexiteer. You need the contingency planning. She talked on the Bbcs Andrew Marr programme about tariff free access. We have that now. She is going to lose it when she comes out of the Single Market and the customs union. She is playing poker. She hopes they will get something. She offered £39 billion and made concessions on citizens in the rest of europe living here. She is desperate. She knows what could happen to british industry and services if you come crashing out. You have to plan for it. Youve got to think of , 27. No deal would be. It. Youve got to think of , 27. No dealwould be. I know that it. Youve got to think of , 27. No deal would be. I know that you wa nt to no deal would be. I know that you want to interrupt. Let me ask you a question. Would this person be an actual minister. What do you know . It would be a minister and they will work closely with David Davis Brexit secretary, who would be the number one minister in the department. I think it is and important signal to say we are important to the eu and that there is a possibility we will walk away. I dont think it is going to happen. It is an important contingency plan and it sends a message not to take it for granted. You are not call the ministerfor message not to take it for granted. You are not call the minister for no deal. You would be a minister looking at what happens if there is no deal. That is how she would do it. Ok. As always, thank you and i know that you are back later. Looking forward to it. Oh, yes. I a lwa ys looking forward to it. Oh, yes. I always enjoy that. They are what you call frien emies. Always enjoy that. They are what you call frienemies. Yes. We know that it is cold. It certainly is. The temperature just now is between 7 and ten. Notjust just now is between 7 and ten. Not just cold here, just now is between 7 and ten. Notjust cold here, cold there as well. Looking at some sunshine, though. Where we have clear skies is where we have the lions share of the sunshine and you can see there is quite a lot of it first thing in the morning. There is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. You can see the temperature is representing towns and cities. It is much lower in rural areas. Towns and cities. It is much lower in ruralareas. In towns and cities. It is much lower in rural areas. In the midlands, south wales, east anglia and south of that. And here there is more cloud around and that cloud is thick enough for some drizzle. But note that temperatures, above freezing. In london at eight oclock the temperature is going to be around four degrees. Through the day we will see the cloud will slowly push northwards across all of the midlands and also wales as we head through the afternoon. Still thick enough for some drizzle coming out of it. For Northern England you will see the lions share of the sunshine along with southern scotland and eastern scotland. In the west scotla nd eastern scotland. In the west scotland and Northern Ireland, some serious cloud around, so it will be bright rather than sunny. We also have quite a breeze coming from the north sea down the coastline, so it will feel cool. As we head through the evening and overnight the cloud pushes northwards to all but the far north west of scotland. It will be thick enough for some drizzle and as it engages with the cold air it will freeze and we will see some snow on the hills. Meanwhile with the brakes we could also see the odd ice patch or indeed the odd patch of fog. Tomorrow there is not much happening. Not much wind at all. So it is going to be a fairly cloudy day. Later we have a weather front coming from the west. That will introduce windy conditions and also some rain. To start with cloudy foremost, it will be thick enough foremost, it will be thick enough for some drizzle and some snow grains on the hills. We will see one or two bright breaks develop. They will be the exception rather than the rule. The wrangle turn a little more patchy in nature. So to look at wednesday as a whole, here is the rain. It is moving west to east, it is breaking up, there is it engages with the cold air and you may see the odd flake of snow but not much more than that. And behind it something dry and bright and mild but still some rain coming in at times across Northern Ireland and western scotland. At least the consolation is temperatures for some are getting back into double figures. I can see that. It is going to be cold in between. Thank you very much. Please, stay there for a moment. People getting into contact to say that you are wearing the same dress. And you are aware of it and you both look lovely. Thank you. I know that it looks very similar. It is not exactly the same. know that it looks very similar. It is not exactly the same. I did notice the slight difference of sleeves. Thank you. As always. You have great taste. Yutu. I was going to say it is a scoop neck. What is it called . I dont know you too. A p pa re ntly it called . I dont know you too. Apparently scop is correct. Thank you very much dan walker. You are watching breakfast. We will be back with carol later. Lets have a look at the front pages this morning. Carrie gracie, one of our colleagues, on the Daily Telegraph, this is about a letter she has written to bbc audiences about why she has decided to stand down from her role as the bbc china editor. She says it is over equal pay. That is the front page of the times. The bbc accused of breaking the law as Carrie Gracie i have talked about quits over pay. Also more details about the letter on her website as well. She walked out after discrimination. She is presenting the today programme this morning. It is interesting because the Golden Globes dominated by the time times up globes dominated by the time times up Campaign Times up campaign. Ata up Campaign Times up campaign. At a really powerful speech as well. If you look on social media there is a lot of oprah for president. She said she wouldnt want to do that. Some have said, why would she run for president and leave her current job . It is a really important speech. She talked about cindy winning the oscar in the 1970s and it goes right up to date talking about young girls who might be watching her speech and saying that a new age. Watching her speech and saying that a new age. And interesting as well because it was right at the last of the event with people skirting around the issue but she did not. Many people were unsure what to say. She went both barrels. The front of the daily express this morning. Britains group of killer flu with fears the outbreak could be the worst in 50 years. Is it the australian flu . Apparently. Worst in 50 years. Is it the australian flu . Apparently. And called flu as well. It could be as deadly as the hong kong flu in the 19605. Deadly as the hong kong flu in the 1960s. And the other stories as well on the front pages and is the daily mirror, this is eveline, who needed an operation and her operation was postponed five times apparently. That is the front of the daily mirror. Some of the front pages for you this morning. The other stories two tell you is british manufacturing. There is a boom with the best in decades apparently. This is good news because of the weak pound making things we produce in the uk cheaper abroad and steph is at the uks biggest manufacturer of household Plastic Products. That includes buckets and she is showing us around. Do you have a hole in your bucket . There are no holes in this buckets, this top quality establishment here. I want to show you how it makes this. Plastic injection. It is a process by which it happens. You have this moulding machine and you have plastic going in in liquid form at super high temperature, going through here. You can see this machine is basically working out how long it needs to cool down, six seconds, then it opens up, outcomes the bucket and the goes in. So this company is a manufacturer of the goes in. So this company is a ma nufa ctu rer of lots the goes in. So this company is a manufacturer of lots of different Plastic Products and it is a company which has been growing over the last few years. They have invested £8 million in new goodman. A lot of the stuff around being is new machinery. That is because they are managing to grow their business abroad. The research that is out about manufacturing has said they are more optimistic than they have been for some time about Business Growth in the future and for this company they have been trying to work out where they can grow the business outside of the eu. Obviously they have been worried about what will happen when we leave the eu. So they have seen growth in countries like south america. You will see some of these products heading out. Some of them you will see in supermarkets and various retailers around the uk as well. For this business things are going well and i am going to talk to the boss later on about exactly how they are managing to do that, whether the investment they are making, the £8 million is something they think they can make back over they think they can make back over the next few years. So, yes, more from me here with a lot of buckets and bin lids later on, but first lets get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. Good morning from bbc london news. Im victoria hollins. An academic who was viciously beaten in his home by burglars is taking the london mayor to a judicial review over plans to close local Police Stations. Paul kohler suffered injuries that left him utterly unrecognisable. When the police arrived, the attack was still under way. Mr kohler believes that if it wasnt for his local Police Station, he would be dead. Londoners are being urged to avoid unnecessary trips to a e by getting help from an enhanced nhs111 service. The service now includes direct access to advice from gps, nurses, midwives, pharmacists and specialists in mental health, cancer and child health. New Research Shows theres still a lack of awareness about what the service offers. Pub Opening Hours could be extended for the weekend of prince harry and Meghan Markles wedding. Their marriage falls on the same day as the fa cup football finals, saturday, may 19th. Licensing hours were previously extended for the wedding of the duke and duchess of cambridge in 2011, and for the queens 90th birthday in 2016. Lets have a look at the travel situation now. On the tube there are severe delays on the district and piccadilly lines and minor delays on the circle line. On the trains there is industrial action by rmt members on three rail providers. South western railway has a reduced service on the main lines into waterloo. Greater anglia is running a full service and southern is running anormal service on all routes into victoria. On the roads, very slow on the a406 westbound towards finchley because of an abandoned van at henlys corner. Westbourne park road is partially blocked near the Great Western road. Peckham high street is partly blocked near the Police Station for repairs to a collapsed man hole cover. Lets have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. Good morning. It is a cold start this monday morning but we do have quite a bit of cloud and that has helped the temperature stay above zero. It should stay mostly dry as well. Now, i say it is mostly dry. The cloud is thick enough to produce a little bit of light rain and drizzle but mainly over high ground. Lots of places managing to avoid that. There is a cold easterly as well and that makes the temperature feel a little bit cold. The maximum is five or six degrees by the end of the afternoon. Overnight tonight, we hang on to the cloud, some isolated drizzle around, but we will see the wind fall a little bit lighter and mist and fog patches developing. It is going to be a very misty and murky night and that is going to linger into tuesday morning. The minimum temperature, again, above zero, between three and four degrees. Tomorrow, a misty, murky, grey start, and in fact the mist and fog is going to linger, it will take time to lift. It could start to lift into the afternoon but it will be rather grey tomorrow. The temperature, still feeling quite chilly as well, the maximum around seven celsius. Now, a bit of an improvement as we head into wednesday. That cloud is squished out of the way, we should see the return of some sunshine and blue sky. Temperature, a bit of a recovery there as well. Chilly night into thursday and then we see the return of the cloud. Temperatures, though, staying in single figures. Pretty chilly im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Bye for now. Hello, welcome back, youre watching breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. A summary of the main stories from bbc news theresa may will reshuffle her cabinet today in the most extensive changes since she became Prime Minister. The four most senior members of the government will remain in their current posts, while more women and mps from ethnic minorities are likely to be promoted to top positions. Further changes to junior roles will be announced tomorrow. Oprah winfrey received a standing ovation as she tackled the issue of Sexual Harassment in the Film Industry at the Golden Globes overnight. 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 they become the leaders who take us to the time where nobody ever has to say metoo again. The bbc china editor editor Carrie Gracie has stepped down because of what she called an indefensible pay gap at the corporation. In an open letter addressed to licence fee payers she accused the bbc of breaking equality law because of the difference between her pay and other men in similar roles. A bbc spokesman said fairness in pay was vital. The scale of feeling, notjust among bbc women, but also more widely across the country and internationally, the support ive had in the last few hours over this, i think it does speak to the depth of hunger for an equal fair and transparent pay system. The news of Carrie Gracies resignation reached the Golden Globes ceremony in los angeles. Actress emma watson had this response. This is what were saying, i think that more needs to be done. By making these commitments public, we need to be holding these organisations accountable and i think what has happened tonight with that resignation is a really good example that, you know, weve got to follow through, youve got to back up follow through, youve got to back up what youre saying and its important and we will hold you accountable, we really will. Theres expected to be disruption for rail commuters today, with strikes affecting five Different Networks across the uk. Members of the rmt union say theyre walking out over a continuing dispute about train guards. The Train Companies say the union is showing its disregard for passengers. If you havent already, probably worth checking whats happening on the trains near you this morning. An Accountancy Firm advising the grenfell enquiry has quit amid concerns over conflict of interests. Kpmg, which orders three of the firm is being investigated, also works with the royal borough of kensington and chelsea where the tower is located. The firm said it mutually agreed to step down from the enquiry. If the recent wintry weather gave you the chance to work on your snowman making skills, take a look at these pictures. This is the International Ice sculpture contest which is going on right now in china. Teams are given solid blocks of ice from a nearby river and have three days to turn it into a piece of art. The winner will be announced today. More detail on that tomorrow. Look at the buffing technique, supreme buffing catching up with the sport and completely different temperatures. From one extreme to the other. On the pitch it was . 55 celsius on the pitch in the middle of the arena, which is where all the way through the Australian Open tennis they measure the court temperatures. With the shelter of the stands and the sun beating down and the hard surface beaming back the heat it gets hotter and hotter, but on the grass, a big wide bowl, the scg, so scorching temperatures and unfortunately england have melted in that cauldron.

Gaging; he 971i} hour and retired after lunch but he made 50. England were bowled out for 180, meaning australia win the ashes series 4 0. Weve known for a few weeks the would lift the urn, seeing them do it in person is tough. We didnt play well enough, we have to give them credit. They are well within their rights to be over the moon with that win. I do think its been closer than 4 0. Weve been on top in some games, if not all the games at some stage. Weve just not capitalised on the key moments. A day of surprises in the fa cup, none more so than when current holders arsenal were beaten 4 2 by championship side Nottingham Forest. Defender eric lijah scored the goal of the game to make it 2 1, that was before Nottingham Forest got their second penalty of the match through dowell and it is the second time theyve lost at this stage under wenger. I would say the quality of Nottingham Forests performance shows that the championship, many teams are like that, theyre very difficult to beat. I knew before the game away from home in a game like that would be difficult but defensively, we couldnt make the m ista kes we defensively, we couldnt make the mistakes we made today and expect to get a good result. In wales League Two Newport county came from behind to beat championship side leeds united, makovsky with a dramatic last minute winner. They never know when theyre beaten. Weve had a tough week. Weve had a fire at the training ground, which didnt help preparations. We had illness throughout the week, throughout the camp. My little one was in hospital last night so we get all this thrown at us but theyre just an Amazing Group of players and im so proud to be their manager. Spurs cruised into the fourth round after beating afc wimbledon, two goals from harry kane and this Long Range Strike from defenderjan vertonghen, his first spurs goal in four years, 3 0 at wembley. League one shrewsbury town got a replay against west ham, they had many chances and former shrewsbury playerjoe hart denied them. A member of the crowd through the cap onto the pitch because of the sun. He played the whole of first half with the cap on to stop the sun going in his eyes. Leaders Manchester City maintained their 100 record, six wins out of six, in the Womens Super League with a 5 2 win at reading. City led 3 2 at half time, before two goals in two minutes from jill scott early in the second half secured the win. This goal from jill scott causing some confusion at first, before being judged to have crossed the line. Elsewhere, second placed chelsea ladies beat arsenal 3 2. In rugby unions premiership, second placed saracens were back to their best against wasps, winning by 38 15 at the ricoh arena. Sarries narrowly led at half time, but pulled away in the second half, scoring 20 points with no reply and securing their bonus point. Elsewhere, premiership leaders exeter lost for the first time in eight league games as they were beaten 28 20 by newcastle. Thats all the sport for you. Lets return to one of our main stories this morning. The bbcs china editor, Carrie Gracie, has resigned from her post over equal pay, claiming the corporation has a secretive and illegal pay culture. It follows revelations last year about discrepencies between the pay of the highest earning men and women. In july, the bbc released a list of some of its highest paid talent. It contained the names of all on screen staff earning more than £150,000 a year. Of the 96 staff on the list, just a third of those were women, and the top seven were all men. The bbc has since commissioned three internal audits on pay, in which they say they found no systemic discrimination against women. Carrie gracie has said she will return to work in the london newsroom. Lets talk to employment lawyer gillian howard. Thanks for talking to us about this. Can we start with what she has put in that letter, accusing the bbc of having a secretive and illegal pay culture. In your professional opinion, how close to the truth is that . Probably very close to the truth. Before the payee scales were published, pay was not transparent, it was secretive, it is systemic, there is a systemic illegality within the pay scales as it seems to me, and as it seems to have been published, and it is systematic that the males in the bbc are promoted to the males in the bbc are promoted to the more senior posts and even where a woman is either doing the samejob or work of equal value, like Carrie Gracie, women are paid substantially less and that is illegal. Its important to differentiate between gender pay gap and equal pay, theres a real difference, gender pay gap references the average once it is pulled out across alljobs but equal pay is the fact a man and a woman might be doing the samejob but arent paid the same for it. Exactly. There are two forms of equal pay, the situation where a woman is doing exactly the same job as the man or work that isnt materially different, then theres work of equal value and if you take Carrie Gracies case for example, she was the editor of the china desk. Well, editors of otherworldly or country desks who are men have been paid substantially more. One could argue the two males she has compared her sofa with are not doing even equal work or work at equal value to her because i think the china desk is in many cases or many exa m ples china desk is in many cases or many examples more difficult, more substantial. Its politically different, the language is very different. She has very different and probably superior skills and actually she probably deserves more pay, not the same. On that issue, how hard legally is it to prove that onejob is equal to how hard legally is it to prove that one job is equal to another or more substantial to another . Is that something you could argue in a tribunal . Absolutely. The first thing that happens is thatjobs are rated, an independent expert comes in and rates the jobs and they look at things like the demands of the job, the effort, the skill, the demands on the job, the qualifications, experience and expertise and if they look equal then thejobs should expertise and if they look equal then the jobs should be paid the same. This is front page news once again, i wonderfrom your same. This is front page news once again, i wonder from your knowledge of the subject and what you think might happen now, the ball is now backin might happen now, the ball is now back in the bbcs court, what is their reaction likely to be . They havent spoken to us about this obviously. If its the same as in previous times it will be cover up and im afraid obfuscation. Per example, one of the excuses for paying the more senior males more than the females was more males had agents and agents forjo thump the table and demand more money. Thump the table. That argument was u nsuccessfully thump the table. That argument was unsuccessfully deployed in a very famous case concerning female Speech Therapists in the french a hospital case and the European Court said first of all that could be indirectly discriminatory, because many more men in that case was we re many more men in that case was were unionised, and the argument was the unions would thump the table and get more money and the European Court said if that is the case then the employer has to justify the whole of the differential. Its no good saying that is the reason, that cant explain the whole of a huge differential between a womans pay and a mans. Differential between a womans pay and a mans. Very good to talk to you. Thank you. He bbc spokeswoman said fairness and pay is vital. This is a statement from bbc women. A number of organisations have published figures showing that we are performing better than many and we are below the national average, this is from the national average, this is from the bbc. We have conducted an independent audit of pay for rank and file staff showing no systematic discrimination against women and there has also been a statement as well from the bbc women, 130 women writing in support of Carrie Gracie on the today programme and we asked someone from bbc management to talk to us about that story but as yet they have not put up anybody for interview. Shall we look at the weather now, and carol can tell us about it. We are both wearing similar dresses. Good morning. Yes, we are. It is a cold started the day with temperatures between 7 and 10 across central and southern scotland and also Northern England. They are low across other parts of the uk as well. It is a cold and frosty start. Where we have the clear skies and low temperatures we start off with some sunshine and you can see that quite nicely on the chart. On the charts there is more cloud fit enough for some patchy drizzle and that will migrate northwards, taking patchy drizzle and snow grains over the hills. As we continue northwards, that is where we have bright skies. Across western scotla nd bright skies. Across western scotland there is some serious cloud and as it comes less through the date it will be bright rather than sunny but for the rest of scotland we have some sunshine cirrus cloud. For Northern Ireland you have the same, so it is bright in the afternoon, rather than sunny and as we move from york, manchester, birmingham, down to southampton, wales, South West England and kent we are back under the cloud and once again we are looking at it thick enough for some drizzle. In the shelter of the moors you could see a little brightness through the course of the afternoon. As we head through the evening and overnight we hang onto the wing from the north sea, so it will be cold here, the cloud pushes all at the far north west of scotla nd pushes all at the far north west of scotland and it will be Still Producing some drizzle and snow grains on the hills. We could see a little patchy fog in some of the bra kes little patchy fog in some of the brakes and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Temperatures freezing in glasgow, three in london, so not quite as low as the nightjust gone. Tomorrow, fairly quiet for most of us weatherwise. You can see not much in the way of wind in the spacing of the isobars. In the west we see a change coming in in the shape of a weather front and that will bring rain and ahead of it the wind will strengthen. To start the day it is going to be fairly cloudy, the cloud still thick enough for some patchy rain and then through the course of the day here comes the main band of rain coming from the west accompanied by the strengthening wind. Temperatures generally three to about eight degrees but you will notice in plymouth up to 10 degrees. Now that weather front of the course of tuesday into wednesday is going to continue to push eastwards and as it does so it will lose some of its energy so that the rain on it will turn more patchy in nature. And the hide it things will dry up our touch. You can see the system heading to the bay of biscay. We will ignore that for now. We have this weather front crossed the uk. It will turn more patchy in nature. Not all of us will see the rain from it. Hide it will brighten up. Note that temperatures, seven to about ten in the south. That is more like it. Thank you very much indeed. It is definitely cold. Thank you. it. Thank you very much indeed. It is definitely cold. Thank you. I had a properly cold face when i got out of the car this morning. Steph is not cold. We have sent her to find out how british manufacturers are feeling this morning. She is at a plastics factory. She has been showing us around and giving us some good figures as well. Good morning. Good morning, everyone. Yes, iam good morning. Good morning, everyone. Yes, i am at the place which makes things like this, storage containers, you might have some in your cupboard, underneath your bed, and they are made here, look at this, plastic Injection Moulding. The plastic is put through the pipe at high temperature, then it is cooled down around the mould and then after 13 seconds, once it has cooled down it comes out as one of these containers. They make Something Like over 5 million containers like that every single month here and it is a business that is growing. So it is doing particularly well from selling a lot of this stuff overseas. You will see a lot of this in uk retailers as well. This business have spent a lot of money on these machines and they have been looking at ways they can make sure they can fill capacity or all of these machines. Tony is one boss here. Good morning. Lets have a little too are. Tell us how business is. It is growing, isnt it . Business is growing, it is all going in the right direction. As i have said before, wejust going in the right direction. As i have said before, we just invested £3 million in machinery in this building alone. And we will have another £3 million for this financial year. So everything is going really well. For you as well you have been looking at how to get competitive with these machines, and that has been including looking at selling this abroad, so how has it been going . It has been going very well. The jobs have been going . It has been going very well. Thejobs have been made a lot easier by the quality of products and the service we provide. And the quality of staff. So i wont say it has been easy but it has been easier because of those three elements. So you export to over 70 countries. 71, dont sell a short. You export to over 70 countries. 71, dont sell a short. Sorry. And for you it has been looking at countries outside the eu. Yes, we started four yea rs outside the eu. Yes, we started four years ago. For no other reason than we dont want to be dependent on one region. So we dont want to lose the turnover that we are getting from europe. We want to die looted by looking elsewhere. And now we are dealing in south america, north america, austral asia, asia, the middle east, everywhere. Russia. Yes. Things are looking good for you. Yes, the future is good. I am going to leave you to it. Thank you. Leslie, from the institute of export, and tony has given us an update on what is going on for his business. What is the wider picture . It is more varied. It depends which sector you are working in. Predominately there is a very positive feeling going on. A lot more people training, more people asking, and we are working with trade associations across the country to try to help them get better prepared. Manufacturers, it has been a time of volatility, because the currency has been changing. That has helped in some respect. It has made products cheaper abroad. How can business capitalise on that . Obviously the biggest problem any businesses have is that they are importing Raw Materials and when they are importing, that means the currency is working against them. You are buying in dollars or euros it is a problem. Obviously if we can burn more Raw Materials from the internal market, uk only, it would be great. We have to stop importing as much as we are. It is going very well. Will you see our day when we export more than we import . Not in the next five yea rs. Lets than we import . Not in the next five years. Lets hope we can see that in the next ten or 20 years. Thank you very much for your time. I will finish by showing you some of the manufacturing going on. I am excited about being here. One of my first jobs as an engineer years ago was working with a Company Making different products, plastic injection products, so i have been threatening to take over one of the machine. Tony is letting me know when you. It is fascinating to see the process and how much they have invested in machinery. And just trying to get the capacity and increase to employ more people. They employ Something Like 245 people. It is the biggest manufacturer of these types of products and i am sure you will recognise it if you have seen it in some shops around the country. That is it for me for now. it in some shops around the country. That is it for me for now. I saw you nearly setting fire to the bbc brea kfast nearly setting fire to the bbc breakfast butty van, so stay away think her reputation precedes her. Thank you very much. We will see you later. Gardening can be a great way to state in check. If you have been left in pain after digging your flowerbed it could be the digging action that is to blame. Scientist at Coventry University are using Technology Developed by moviemakers in hollywood to analyse the impact of bad digging and try and come up with the most effective and a way that does not damage your back, the way that you should use your shovel. Tim muffet has more. Have a look. Good for the ground, often bad for the body. As volunteers at Castle Bromwich hall gardens near birmingham know, digging can hurt. I geta pain in my back now and again. Lower back pain if you are sort of bending too much. I damaged a muscle in my shoulder blade and had to stop gardening for a couple of months. For most gardeners, digging is fundamental to manage weeds, you can incorporate organic matter and manage soil. Most will report aches and pain from digging in the garden. And what we hope to do is to advise them on how to do it better. Gardeners world presenter Frances Tophill is proof age isnt the issue. So what kind of tweaks or back pains do you get when you are digging . Quite a few after years of doing it. The bending and lifting, my lower back and hips struggle. But it is part of the job and you are not always thinking about what is best for your body. You are thinking how to do it as quickly and well as you can. I am 30, but if this is me now than in 20 or 30 hopefully years time, when i am still gardening, how is your back going to be affected . You are keen to find out the best way to deal with it . Absolutely. This project has taken inspiration from somewhere never really associated with gardening, a place where technology and creativity combine. Hollywood. Motion capture is often used in movies. Special suits record actors movements, bringing animated characters to life. But the team at Coventry University have been using it on gardeners. I am being connected to some sensors, which i will then go and dig, and they will take all the data back about how my body is moving. Ready . Go. We are recording exactly how she is moving during the digging technique. Gardening can be great exercise. The idea here is to ensure it brings pleasure, not pain. Weve now analysed the results that we got from you digging outside and what weve got is a video showing the muscle activities up on the screen. And what he can see is that you are working away from the body, and the consequence of that is you have got lots of red in your back in your lumbar region. This is bad. It is bad technique because of the turning force. The teams analysis of 600 muscles have shown that bad digging doubles the load onjoints. Try and keep the work as close in as possible so to avoid overreaching and twisting the back, which is what is doing the damage. Just a small step forwards would save that whole strain. Absolutely true. Here is how it should be done steady action, bent knees, stayed close to the body. It is hoped this two year academic study will ease the pain for millions of gardeners. 0k, ok, so, lots of really good advice. I think ok, so, lots of really good advice. Ithinki ok, so, lots of really good advice. I think i might alter my technique. As long as you dont hurt yourself. I shall bring the spade a little bit closer to my body. It is coming up to 8am and we will have the news and headlines in a moment. First, the news, travel and weather wherever you are. Good morning from bbc london news. Im victoria hollins.

Mr kohler believes that if it wasnt for his local Police Station, he would be dead. Londoners are being urged to avoid unnecessary trips to a e by getting help from an enhanced nhs111 service. The service now includes direct access to advice from gps, nurses, midwives, pharmacists and specialists in mental health, cancer and child health. New Research Shows theres still a lack of awareness about what the service offers. Pub Opening Hours could be extended for the weekend of prince harry and Meghan Markles wedding.

Peckham high street is partly blocked near the Police Station for repairs to a collapsed man hole cover. Lets have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. Good morning. It is a cold start this monday morning but we do have quite a bit of cloud and that has helped the temperature stay above zero. It should stay mostly dry as well. Now, i say it is mostly dry. The cloud is thick enough to produce a little bit of light rain and drizzle but mainly over high ground. Lots of places managing to avoid that. There is a cold easterly as well and that makes the temperature feel a little bit cold. The maximum is five or six degrees by the end of the afternoon. Overnight tonight, we hang on to the cloud, some isolated drizzle around, but we will see the wind fall a little bit lighter and mist and fog patches developing. It is going to be a very misty and murky night, and that is going to linger into tuesday morning. The minimum temperature, again, above zero, between three and four degrees. Tomorrow, a misty, murky, grey start, and in fact the mist and fog is going to linger, it will take time to lift. It could start to lift into the afternoon but it will be rather grey tomorrow. The temperature, still feeling quite chilly as well, the maximum around seven celsius. Now, a bit of an improvement as we head into wednesday. That cloud is squished out of the way, we should see the return of some sunshine and blue sky. Temperature, a bit of a recovery there as well. Chilly night into thursday and then we see the return of the cloud. Temperatures, though, staying in single figures. Pretty chilly im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. A shake up at the top of the government, as theresa may prepares to unveil a Cabinet Reshuffle. With speculation rife over a number of key positions, its expected that more female and ethnic minority mps will be promoted to the top table. 0h, oh, sorry good morning, its monday the 8th of january. Also this morning. A new day is on the horizon and when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women. Oprah winfrey leads the tribute to women working in the film and Television Industry as the red carpet at last nights Golden Globe Awards turned black amid a sea of protest at Sexual Harassment. The bbcs china editor, Carrie Gracie, accuses the bbc of breaking equality law as she steps down from her role citing unequal pay with her male colleagues. Good morning. Manufacturers say they are feeling more optimistic than they have done for four years. So im at one of them, where they have been growing exports, to find out where this growth is coming from. In sport, its over and out from australia. England fall to another heavy defeat in the final ashes test. Its its hot there but its very cold here. Carol has the details so yellow it certainly is called. Temperatures across southern scotla nd temperatures across southern scotland and Northern England between 7 10, but here we have clear skies, and they fair bit of sunshine. Further cloud there further south there is patchy drizzle. 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 due to remain in their current posts, but more women and mps from ethnic minorities are likely to be promoted to top positions. Were joined now from westminster by our Political Correspondent, ben wright. You imagine everybody this morning who might be involved looking at their phones at all moments. Ben, what do we know about who is likely to stay and who is vulnerable . Good morning, louise. Westminster a lwa ys good morning, louise. Westminster always gets terribly excited about reshuffle some im not sure how much excitement voters share, but it grips the imagination here. For existing members of the cabinet, it will be a nervous day as they wait to find out whether they will be kept or chopped. For up and coming tory ministers hoping for a seat around the cabinet table, it is a day to be anxiously clutching your phone, keeping it close, seeing if you are going to get a call from the Prime Minister. Lots of speculation about what she might do. I think theresa may is the only person who knows what will happen to day. But it seems certain that the trimming jobs who that the four top jobs will be kept as they are. David davis will remain as brexit secretary, we think they will all remain in their positions, in part because brexit is a massive thing that has dominated the government, you wouldnt risk moving one of those big four at this stage. There will be Significant Movement in the middle order of ministers. There is the practical issue of the gap left by damian green. He of course was sacked just before christmas. He had a very big job at the Cabinet Office and there is a place to fill there. Lots of speculation thatjeremy hunt, who is currently the home secretary, could be moved into that role. Over the weekend labour were quick to say thatjeremy hunt has a lot on his plate with the nhs struggling with winter demands, it doesnt make any sense to move him at this stage, that is something the Prime Minister needs to think about. Patrick mcloughlin is directly in the cabinet as the tory party chairman. Bruised after the tories botched election in the summer last year, there is a big question mark after his future in the cabinet. Justine greening, the current education secretary, lots of speculation that she may be for the chop. We will find out during the course of the day, of course. But i think there will be a real focus to ring the day during the day among movements of younger tory mps. On the backbenches, theresa may might be very keen to move them up, to show that the party is changing, and to show too that while it remains a fragile government with no overall commons majority, she is going to hope that today shows she has some great on her party and some imagination and she is paying attention to some of those domestic policy reeves and notjust brexit domestic policy briefs. There will be full coverage throughout the morning and there will be a camera no doubt outside downing street to see who is going in and who is coming out with a smile. Lets take you to los angeles, as Oprah Winfrey received a standing ovation as she tackled the issue of Sexual Harassment in the Film Industry at the global group awards the Golden Globe Awards. During a politically charged evening, almost all of those attending chose to wear black, and several celebrities caught activists on gender and racial equality is as their guests. Our north american correspondent, james cook, was watching. 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. It was one of those nights where what happened on what was said totally dominate the headlines rather than who he is actually one. Among the winners, actor gary oldman won for his betrayal of Winston Churchill in the darkest hour. Francis mcdormand won best actress, and the film won best picture. Ewan mcgregor took home the award for best actor in a tv series, playing two twins in file date. A good night for the handmaids tale. We will be talking about the politics and who wa nt talking about the politics and who want in about half an hour. So who will won. 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 at the corporation. 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. A group of 130 journalists, bbc women, have issued a statement addressing their support and called on the bbc to address this across the corporation. Kerry kwasi is presenting the today programme on bbc radio 4. The scale of feeling, notjust among bbc women, but also just more widely across the country and also internationally, the support that ive had in the last few hours over this, i think it does speak to the depth of hunger for an equal, fair and transparent pay system. That was Carrie Gracie, who is currently presenting the today programme. Ina currently presenting the today programme. In a statement, the bbc said an independent audit of pay for rank and file staff showed no systemic discrimination against women. The news of Carrie Gracies resignation reached the Golden Globes ceremony in los angeles. Actress emma watson had this response. This is what were saying, i think that more needs to be done. You know, by making these commitments public, we need to be holding these organisations accountable. And i think what has happened tonight with that resignation is a really good example that, you know, weve got to follow through, youve got to back up what youre saying, and its important and we will hold you accountable, we really will. That was watson speaking on the red carpet at the golden words. Quite a few big stories around this morning. Lets bring you with some other news. Theres expected to be disruption for rail commuters today, with strikes affecting five Different Networks across the uk. Members of the rmt union say theyre walking out over a continuing dispute about guards. The Train Companies say the union is showing its disregard for passengers. A ten year study has found that women are three times more likely to die in the year following a heart attack than men because they are 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. An Accountancy Firm advising the g re nfell an Accountancy Firm advising the Grenfell Inquiry have quit amid concerns over a conflict of interest.

They may look like a fun toy, but laser pens can cause blindness, and have been used in an increasing number of attacks on aircraft. The government has announced new measures today to tackle the sale of the devices, including better labelling by manufacturers, as Daniela Relph reports. Dangerous and reckless. Misuse of lasers has been increasing. Cheaper than theyve ever been, and more easily available, the government is now bringing in new measures to limit their use. Two years ago, this Virgin Atlantic airbus was forced to return to the runway at heathrow. Shortly after take off, one of the pilots contacted air Traffic Control and said his colleague was experiencing difficulties. Since 2013, there have been 150 incidents of eye injuries from lasers. The majority of those hurt were children. The figures show the scale of the problem. There were 1258 laser incidents reported in 2016. Heathrow airport is the most frequent target. And even on the rail network, there have been 578 laser incidents over recent years. The new measures will include increased checks from teams at ports and borders, and improved labelling by manufacturers to make it clear just how damaging to our eyes a laser can be. There will also be better policing of the sale of laser pointers, particularly with online retailers like ebay. Daniela relph, bbc news. We will get more on that right now. Were joined now by angela and her son, jonny he burnt a hole in his retina with a laser pen two years ago. And in our westminster studio is the consumer minister, margot james. Margotjames, margot james, we will come margotjames, we will come to you in a minute. Angela, good morning. Tell us about where first of all this laser pen came from and what happened . We were at a Christmas Fair in december 2015. And jonathan had been wanting to buy a laser pointer he had seen on a pocket money stall. And we allowed him to buy it, and he went and purchased it. And we didnt think anything of it. And we didnt think anything of it and all two days later when we we re it and all two days later when we were driving home and suddenly jonathan says to me, theres something in my mind its not going away, mummy. With that i didnt realise what it was. We went to the optician he panicked us and said, you need to go up to the moorfields eye hospital, because we think there isa eye hospital, because we think there is a burn on his retina. And it was from there that we realise and we went back and found out what had happened, that he had shown a laser pointer into his eye. By the way, you are looking incredibly smart this morning, i very much like your tie you bought the laser pen with your pocket money. Your mum said that two days after that you felt some pain in life. What did you do with the laser pen when you picked it up . So, when i went home i was quite curious about, like, how strong the laser pointer was and how powerful it was. So i shot it in my idea to look like. I shot it in my itunes see what the light looked like. I thought it would give it away. I gave it two days, but i was finding it hard to reach, because there was this spot in my either at was there was this spot in my either at was blocking my view. Then a few days, like, two days later, i told my mum, and she rushed me straight to the opticians. His eyesight was saved by glasses, is that what happened . We believe what happened is the laser was deflected by his glasses, it missed the Central Nervous system and disgust on the outside of that. And therefore, over the past two years, the cells have reformed of the eye. There is a permanent hole at the back of his eye. Thank you very much for telling us the story. Margot james, you are putting undue measures here. What are they and how will they stop the type of thing happening you are putting in new measures . As jonathans case pointed out, he was unaware and his mother was of the different strengths of laser pointer is available. What these new measures take account of is the difference in strengths. What we are is restricting the sale of Higher Powered lasers, so they can only be sold for use. A lot of these products are imported from abroad, we are stepping up checks at borders and ports and providing more resources and training is for officials so that they can spot these items coming in. The other thing we doing is to make sure that they are properly labelled, so if it isa they are properly labelled, so if it is a high powered laser, it has to have proper labelling and it has to have proper labelling and it has to have warnings and safety notices on it. That hasnt been the case to date. You talk about the power of the lasers, angela, the laser that jonathan bought with his pocket money was quite a low powered laser, wasnt it . There are class two lasers and class three which arent being dealt with under it the changes and thats really what were wanting is to see a change in the low powered lasers because the injuries that are happening to children are the low powered lasers. Low powered lasers are causing injuries. What are you going to do about them . The labelling will apply to all lasers. I hear what angela said there and it maybe we need to look at lower powered lasers in more detail. We are taking action against lasers which are Higher Powered than one mille watt. Johnny is a young child. Labelling probably may not have helped that either, would it . Well, i think the labelling will help. I think that if it is above one mille watt then there will be strict labelling and warnings on it and it will be restricted in sale and it wouldnt be available at a school fayre. It would have helped. I think what angela is saying if it was a lower laser we may have to review that. What we are taking action against is the Higher Powered lasers and this action has been welcomed by mreng and the British Airlines Pilots Association as being very much what is needed. Angela, just to come back to you and jonathan. I imagine you would think twice and three times about letting jonathan or anyone else have a laser in that situation. Nobody should buy lasers. They are dangerous. Nobody should be buying them under any circumstances. I believe that all lasers should be licensed like in america, like in new zealand, all high powered lasers are licensed in those countries, but ido are licensed in those countries, but i do think with labelling, there was no label on jonathans laser and that was the issue. Thank you very much indeed for coming to talk to us. We know there is going to be a Cabinet Reshuffle this morning. Your name has been touted. Would you like a newjob and if so, what would it be . Well, im trying to concentrate on thejob ive be . Well, im trying to concentrate on the job ive got today thank you very much. Reshuffles are, you know, sometimes necessary. They are rather a distraction to everyone involved and ive got a very busy day on Small Business and consumers today and tomorrow and for the rest of the week and i look forward to getting on with myjob. Week and i look forward to getting on with my job. Did you switch your phone off for this interview or is it onjust in phone off for this interview or is it on just in case . Phone off for this interview or is it onjust in case . My phone off for this interview or is it on just in case . My phone is off for this sfwer view thank you very much. I expect you will be looking at it later. Thank you very much indeed and thank you for coming to tell us your story, johnny in particular, i am glad your eyesight is better. Your mum was worried at the time. Now the weather. This morning, it is cold. On the south coast, swannage, we have got plus five. There is a lot of frost. Watch out for icy patches too on untreated surfaces and it will be a cold day, but some of us will be a cold day, but some of us will see sunshine. For others, there isafair will see sunshine. For others, there is a fair bit of cloud and the cloudier skies are across southern england. Thats going to edge northwards through the course of the day. So if youre in Northern England today expect a fair bit of sunshine. For much of Northern Ireland, and western scotland, well, there is cloud around so by the afternoon it will be bright rather than sunny, but further east and we will see some sunshine, but look at the maximum temperatures, no great shakes. Only one celsius in inverness and four celsius in belfast. As we come further south, you can see where we have got the cloud. Thick enough for drizzle as it engages with the cold air. Well, we will see snow grains which is frozen drizzle and you can see it is the same as we push down towards the south coast. The maximum temperature in london today five celsius. There isa in london today five celsius. There is a keen wind coming in off the north sea along the east coast of the uk. So if youre walking along the uk. So if youre walking along the shore for example it will feel cold. Now, through this evening and overnight, the cloud continues to move northwards to all but the far north west of scotland. It will be another cold night. Not as cold as the nightjust gone. Where we have got the clear skies, watch out for icy stretches and we could see patchy fog forming as well. Temperatures falling to freezing in glasgow to five celsius. Tomorrow, we start with a fairly quiet start to the day. Not much in the way of isobars. So not much of a breeze. Again, we hang on to the cloud. Look at the isobars out towards the west. It will turn windier and the weather front means there will be rain. So to start with, a lot of cloud. Still that patchy drizzle. Still snow grains on the hills. Brighter spells developing here and there, but they will be the exception rather than the rule and temperatures three to seven. Note plymouth. Whats happening is weve got this weather front coming in. More cloud spilling in ahead of it and it will be windy. During tuesday night and into wednesday morning, that weather front slowly pushes eastwards. It sta rts front slowly pushes eastwards. It starts to lose some of its energy. So the rain on it will turn more patchy in nature and again, there is the distinct lack of isobars on the chart. So there it is on wednesday. Here is our band of patchy rain moving from the west towards the east. Behind it, something drier and brighter come our way, but it is not going to be quite as cold. Seven celsius in aberdeen and ten celsius in plymouth. Thats more like it dan and lou. It is, indeed. British manufacturers are enjoying a boom with order books busier than theyve been in decades, mainly to the weak pound, which is making the things we produce in the uk cheaper abroad. Steph is at the uks biggest manufacturer of household Plastic Products which exports to over 70 countries. Good morning. Good morning everyone. I have given you buckets, containers, bin lids, storage box lids, the lot. Now, iwant containers, bin lids, storage box lids, the lot. Now, i want to show you how they make these. Washing up bowls because this is one of the many plastic injection mould machines. What you have got behind the system here is basically lots of grains of plastic which have been melted and they go through a mould which is liquid and they are cooled down and out pops up a washing up bowl. This is a business employing 245 people. Theyve invest heavily in new machinery and also just trying to get more business around the world. It is a 24 7 operation which means these guys are kept busy. I was chatting to some of the tea m busy. I was chatting to some of the team earlier who started at 6am, they will finish at 6pm and the next tea m they will finish at 6pm and the next team will come in. So there are busy. Tony is one of the bosses here. He can tell us more about it. Hi tony. So youve got lots of different products. Tell us where youre selling them and who your big business is . We deal with most good major retailers. The ones that are bad dont deal with us. So we deal with most good major retailers in the uk. Walking down the line of products, there is an iconic bucket going on behind me. I dont need to mention any names because there are other diy stores in the country there is stuff for a grocery retailer. The product there is for south korea. Just having a look at the label. The only thing i could understand is wammore uk limited. Everything is in korean. These containers, those containers are going to south korea. Is that new business . No, its business that weve had more about three years now. It is the business has developed. They started by ordering one product. A considerable amount of product by the way and now they are ordering up to about eight products they take from us. So it is a continuous flow of our products into south korea. You have been looking at trying to Grow Business outside of the eu . We have been trying to dilute our business a little bit. Maintain our turnover and grow that, but dilute it by looking at other markets and we have been successful over the last four yea rs. We have been successful over the last four years. We have taken business in north america, south america, russia, africa, certainly places where you wouldnt expect probably wouldnt expect our product to be. You have done well from the fact that you have been able to sell things cheaper abroad because of the Exchange Rates, but for your raw material costs, have they gone up . The Exchange Rate is negated by the fa ct the Exchange Rate is negated by the fact that we buy all our Raw Materials, well most of our Raw Materials, well most of our Raw Materials in europe so the difference is negated and you wouldnt put together an export strategy based on Exchange Rates because its so volatile. I really appreciate you letting me in this morning, thank you very much. I hope youve enjoyed your tea. Oh it was water. I had water. There will be more from me later. We will be chatting to lesley bachelor and stephen who represents manufacturers. Studio thank you very much, steph. I think steph is enjoying herself. There is going to be a Cabinet Reshuffle later on this morning, about mid morning were expecting it. We thought wed show you a picture of where it will happen this is the traditional picture. Someone is keeping warm there. I thought it was going to be the most boring shot of the day. I enjoyed that so yes, this shot, of course, will be live throughout the morning and we will be looking carefully across bbc news, the bbc news channel about who goes in and who comes out, are they smiling . Who has got a newjob . Who has lost jobs, etcetera. We could stare at this door orfind news, travel and weather wherever youre watching. Good morning. We have had a cold weekend with some lovely sunshine after what was a frost start on sunday morning. This morning will so frosty as well. But it should be glorious for most of us. That sunshine is holding on until later this afternoon. Across southern areas it is a different story this morning. A lot more cloud across the far south, that cloud gradually moving further northwards. By lunchtime into the afternoon across wales, the midlands, is in england, some of that cloud. Further north across scotland, holding onto the sunshine, but pretty cold, temperatures 2 5dc, 4 5dc was in wind and wales, patchy drizzle later on. This evening the cloud will move northward, except the far north west of scotla nd northward, except the far north west of scotland where you will hold onto clear skies, and temperatures will fall below freezing. Elsewhere it is not going to be as cold as it was last night, temperatures will stay up last night, temperatures will stay up above freezing. That takes us into tuesday, where it is a great, cloudy, and murky start for many of us with fog around. Later on there will be rain spreading into South West England towards pembrokeshire, and Northern Ireland. For most of us it should be a dry day on tuesday despite the club. Temperatures 4 6d. The rain across Western Areas will move its wake eastwards as we go into wednesday, the rain breaks up as it pushes further eastwards. It is a weak weather front. During wednesday there will be patchy rain across eastern areas. Behind that weather front there will be sunshine developing in the west. Temperatures on the rise. About 6 10dc. For this week it will be a cold start, there will be frost. There will be rain at times by midweek. But it does become less cold. The temperatures will be rising into double figures across southern and Western Areas in particular. Thats it from me. Bye bye.
