fight among themselves. it isa it is a zinger of a letter. sacked on monday rishi sunak manifestly and repeatedly failed to help deliver her key policies. as he agreed to do so when she took the job. we will get reaction to that. the dead bodies are piling up in gaza's biggest hospital and cannot be taken away due to fighting. today, doctors began digging a mass grave in the grounds of the al shifa hospital to prevent disease spreading. we will hear from a palestinian doctor who has worked at the al shifa hospital and is appealing for a cease—fire. the climate editor on the future of weather forecasting which could help save lives. good evening. inside cabinet, there is collective responsibilty. outside cabinet, no loyalty is owed, particularly to a prime minister sacked on monday rishi sunak manifestly and repeatedly failed to help deliver her key policies. it isa it is a 3—page assassination of questioning his mandate to be in the job, his confidence to deliver, what he promised the british people and there in his integrity. quite a lot of the letter goes into the legal arguments surrounding his attempts to stop the migrant boats crossing the channel and tomorrow's pending decision at the supreme court, on the government's policy of processing asylum applications in a third country, rwanda. we can't get through it all, but here are some of the pertinent sections relating to an agreement she said she struck with the pm when she took the job... in relation to the decision expected tomorrow at the supreme court, she says this... and in closing, she adds... number 10 has responded... the former cabinet minister sirjacob rees—mogg who's the conservative mp for north east somerset gave his reaction to suella braverman�*s letter. her letter is eyewateringly excoriating. i've never seen a resignation like it. i can't recall one from history. the closest comparison i can make is sir geoffrey howe�*s resignation speech, when he left as deputy prime minister and accused margaret thatcher of sending the batsmen out to bat and broke their cricket bats. i think suella's pointing out that a number of promises were made to her when she became home secretary and those haven't been delivered on. and, yes, we have had a number of resets. we had a reset with the party conference, we had a reset with the king's speech, but, really, what needs to be done is delivering on the policies we promised in 2019, which is why people voted for us. joining me now isjohn rentoul, independent�*s chief political commentator, and david maddox, political editor of the express online. let me get your first reaction to what you read this evening. i completely agree with everyone everyone said. chris mason and jacob rees—mogg, is the most extraordinary document, this resignation letter. i think it does compare withjeffrey house resignation speech, except that was effective in that it brought down a prime minister who was already unpopular. whereas rishi sunak is not the same position at all. i think suella bravo men's support among tory mps is a minority. —— suella braverman. it's so over the top, she's like somebody in a pub starting a fight with the broken bottle. it’s in a pub starting a fight with the broken bottle. it's extraordinary. there was _ broken bottle. it's extraordinary. there was a _ broken bottle. it's extraordinary. there was a pole _

it's extraordinary. l there was a pole in 70% of people agreed with the prime ministers decision to soccer. i7% said it was a wrong decision. she says in this letter that although she didn't always get the rhetoric right she is the want representing the mandate. what the voters in 2019 shows when they elected the conservative party. is she right in that? no. 0bviously, people think they represent the majority. and she feels very strongly that she does represent the majority opinion. strongly that she does represent the majority opinion-— strongly that she does represent the majority opinion-— majority opinion. things like saying that rou:h majority opinion. things like saying that rough sleeping _ majority opinion. things like saying that rough sleeping is _ majority opinion. things like saying that rough sleeping is a _ majority opinion. things like saying that rough sleeping is a lifestyle i that rough sleeping is a lifestyle choice, ijust don't that rough sleeping is a lifestyle choice, i just don't think there are many people in this country who would agree with that. maybe that falls under... she does admit it one point sheet may not abuse the right words. but she does repeat the phrase hate marches. very defiantly. i think most people in the country... we know what she means by that but they were not hate marches. a lot of people on that march were good intentioned people thatjust want to see peace in the middle east. ,, �*, ., _ want to see peace in the middle east., , east. she's obviously preempting the decision at the _ east. she's obviously preempting the decision at the supreme _ east. she's obviously preempting the decision at the supreme court - decision at the supreme court tomorrow. she says in this letter that the changes the prime minister made to the legal advice she had given him, whatever the court decisions tomorrow is, whatever that decisions tomorrow is, whatever that decision is would make it very difficult for the government to deliver its policy. what does she mean by that?— deliver its policy. what does she mean by that? exactly. she's not clear what _ mean by that? exactly. she's not clear what she _ mean by

difficult to get significant numbers of people sent to rwanda. and the deterrent effect on channel crossings is likely to be small. there was always the case. i don't think there's anything the prime minister could have done. although it would've been better in a sense to implement policy immediately. i don't think there was anything he could've done apart from repudiating the european convention on human rights. but that's a huge step for the i know suella braverman supports it but i don't think there's majority support from that either in the parliament or house of lords and the parliament

let's bring in the political editor of the express online, david good to see you. i suppose the key question here is whether from the back benches and with this letter suella braverman is able to

former president gotobaya rajapaksa, and his brother mahinda a former prime minister were partially responsible for the economic crisis which hit the country last year. the court said their actions, omissions and conduct had contributed to last year's collapse of the economy. it did not order any punishment. us consumer prices were unchanged last month with the annualised inflation rate falling to its lowest level in two and a half years. the rate dropped more than expected to 3.2% according to the department for labor. that's down from three point 7% in september. the fall was driven by lower petrol costs as well as falling cars prices. amnesty international has accused the cambodian government of evicting thousands of people living near angkor wat a unesco world near angkor wat, a

relocated, in order to protect the site. you're live with bbc news. the head of gaza's biggest hospital says they are digging a mass grave for nearly 180 people, after it ran out of fuel. gaza's hospitals have been caught in the crossfire of the fighting, with shifa emerging as a focal point. that has prompted growing international concern. president biden says he wants "less intrusive action" around the hospitals. they must, he said, be protected. but the medical staff at al shifa say without fuel, patients are dying. the lives of 36 premature babies are hanging in the balance. this picture was taken on sunday after the babies were taken out of incubators and laid on a bed. four were born to dead mothers. their current condition is not known, although a hospital spokesperson said three of the babies have already died. the white house on board air force one says it has its own intelligent 0ne says it has its own intelligent that hamas has a command centre beneath al shifa hospital. israel has always given for a reason for coming under attack. the israelis say they are sending these battery operated incubators to al shifa hospital to try and save the premature babies. there is no indication yet that the medical equipment has been delivered. 0ur chief international correspondent 0rla guerin has the story. the sounds of battle ring out in gaza city. hard to imagine these were once bustling streets. israel is pushing forward, despite international concern about the cost — its forces closing in on key targets, posing for photographs inside the hamas parliament in gaza city. its troops are now at the gates of al—shifa hospital. israel claims there's a hamas headquarters underneath. president biden says the hospital must be protected. inside, thousands of civilians are sheltering alongside hundreds of patients, according to the hospital director. these pictures, taken last month, show a functioning neonatal intensive care unit. but now these premature babies are packed together for warmth, due to power shortages. and in the grounds, so many decomposing bodies that a mass grave has been dug. doctors say the hospital itself is now a health risk. just across the gaza border inside israel, we joined ultraorthodox volunteers today, confronting the darkest horrors. they are still searching forfragments of human remains, here inside bomb shelters, where israelis hid in terror last month from hamas gunmen. well, the search has just begun here, but already the team have found human remains. this difficult, painstaking work is going on every day. dna tests are continuing. funerals are still being held. for israel, october 7 hasn't ended — it is an ongoing national trauma. what you find here could bring an answer to some families. yes, sure, this is why we do this job. and we want to bring those families the announcement about their beloved ones. of course, it's the last thing they want to hear — that they're gone. yes, definitely, it's the last thing they want to hear, but they want to hear something. the volunteers themselves get counselling to cope with what they see. 0rla guerin, bbc news on the israel—gaza border. let's speak to dr 0mar abdel mannan, a paediatric neurologist and co—founder of gaza medic voices. welcome to the program. can i get your reaction from john kirby's at the white house night saying they had their own intelligence that there are hamas tellers and a command centre beneath the hospital. were you aware of that when you visited? . ~ were you aware of that when you visited? ., ,, , ., ., ., ., visited? thank you for having me on our visited? thank you for having me on your program- _ visited? thank you for having me on your program- as — visited? thank you for having me on your program- as i _ visited? thank you for having me on your program. as i mentioned - visited? thank you for having me on your program. as i mentioned a - your program. as i mentioned a number of time we have been going into gaza for the last ten years without my last trip was 2019, 2020. at no point have i of my colleagues ever come across anything that amounts to hamas helen knowles, military, through every operating theatre, every board, every nook and cranny of every hospital, pretty much every hospital that you've heard about al shifa hospital, european, this has never been an issue. what i can only say what i have seen and what our colleagues have seen and what our colleagues have seen is nothing that amounts to that evidence. i can't tell you for sure that there are channels or whether or not there are. what i can tell you for sure is that al shifa hospital up until friday evening was housing 60,000 people in its grounds, that's a hospital, that is the largest trauma centre, it normally would have three or 400 beds. it had 60,000 people sheltering for safety. that hospital is now being evacuated and bombed to the point that it is a ghost of a hospital. it is a war zone. their decomposing bodies and this is from doctors on the ground, their reports through gaza medicals telling us there are decomposing bodies and the crowds at the hospital and as a result this is a humongous threat in terms of infection and other disease. not only that but your images show absolutely horrific premature babies deaths, they have to come out of incubators was that what be busy in other news organisations have yet to show the video that is been circulated around aljazeera and other news networks showing 39 of the premature babies, many very premature, 32 weeks or less who are lying and carts, literally screaming their heads off, absolutely horrific. i've never seen anything so inhumane. that is not because of the palestinian doctors, that's because the electricity is been cut to these hospitals. these babies should be in incubators keeping them warm, providing them with oxygen and nutrition. instead they have had to be put in these cops like mice, like rats, frankly. this is part of the dehumanisation of palestinians that have been ongoing for 17 years in gaza with the siege, 75 years of occupation. this to me as a paediatrician who looks after six chip two sick children, that is absolutely abhorrent. the fact that we have gotten to a stage where practising mediaeval style medicine and these patients are being wrapped in aluminium foil. what more does our government need to see to be able to say enough is enough? this is frankly mediaeval style medicine. this is being practised in 2023. i take your part in terms of the pictures that the bbc had or didn't have, our correspondent has done quite a full report on the babies that were in incubators, whether we have certain pictures or not, obviously if those pictures were available we would use them they may not be available to the bbc. i want to talk about children because i spoke to the washington post and it does put into focus what you're talking about. 50% of gazan people are children. in the conflict is hit and the as we know. going on the health ministry in gaza zone figures, obviously we can't verify these independently but over 4000 in little over a month. that would mean that children in gaza are being killed in far greater numbers and pace than those of the wars in syria, yemen, iraq and afghanistan. that is a scale of the human tragedy that we're seeing unfolding in gaza. perhaps that does explain the change in tone we've been getting from western governments in recent days. absolutely, you have hit the nail on the head. i have in my lifetime and in my colleagues like dimes going into gaza never seen a conflict that has resulted in such disproportionate killing of women and children. especially children. the problem is gaza, 57% of the population is under the age of 18. at the moment when child dies every 15 minutes without these premature babies, three have definitely perished. i suspect most will die within the next few days if they are not kept in incubators. we're seeing a disproportionate effect of not only direct death and injury. many of these children's have had traumatic amputations, they have lost limbs, they've lost whole generations of families. we've seen pictures and images and i've heard stories of children's whole families being wiped out. the videos of them they are literally shaking from trauma. and unable to process or talk. this psychological terrorism frankly, this is a form of psychological terrorism. these children prewar were often having anxiety levels, depression from a young age is in result of sonic heirlooms of is really doing here above gaza. this is well—documented research with up we see this now that these children have undergone a period of bombing to the extent we have never seen. the only other conflict i can think of that resulted in such a disproportionate is probably the siege of aleppo. i know your programme cover that at length and many others did. apart from that, no other conflict including kosovo and many others, i do not remember this extent of children being disproportionately affected. the key thing is these children who have lost generations.... children who have lost

point you make. i'm sure people are listening to it. doctor 0mar abdel mannan, thank you for coming on the program. we will get some reaction to a change in politics in gaza. stay with us. hello there, good evening. some very unsettled conditions currently across the uk, but also some very mild air too, marked here in yellow on our air mass chart. the mild air moves away to be replaced with something a lot cooler as we head through wednesday, thursday and friday before it returns again into the weekend. some very unsettled conditions, wet and windy, but also turning a lot milder once more. now, this is the pressure chart from earlier on today. you can see these heavy, thundery showers clearing away from the south coast. really quite blustery here. some rainbow spotted as things tended to brighten up from the west. still some showers across england and wales, but also some clear spells overnight tonight. too breezy really for any frost to form. there will be plenty of cloud, showery outbreaks of rain continuing across much of scotland, showers, too, for northern ireland. towards the north of scotland, in the shelter, glens and the clear spells there could be perhaps a touch of frost here into wednesday morning. so this is how we'll start off the day tomorrow. now, there are some very weak fronts, just gradually slipping southwards as we head throughout the day. that'll introduce, perhaps, a few showers into the north part of northern ireland through the afternoon, some showers, too, edging into lincolnshire. but to the north of that front there'll be lots of dry weather, some sunshine for the far north of scotland. the sunshine continues, and it should stay dry across much of england and wales, the winds will ease down, temperatures now much closer to the seasonal average. now, the dry weather in the south is not set to last because as we look out towards the atlantic two deep areas of low pressure approaching from the south and from the west. now still lots of uncertainty regarding thursday, but current thinking suggests that we're going to see this rain across the south first thing, and there'll be more rain edging in from the west as we head through the afternoon. so we're all going to be turning wet and windy. it's going to be a pretty miserable picture, i think, by the end of the day. temperatures again, 8—13 degrees celsius. but friday will be a break between these systems. there should be a lot of dry weather around. the sunshine will last longest probably towards central and eastern areas. we look out towards the south west where there's another system approaching, again, highs of around 7—13 celsius. but those temperatures are set to rise, of course, as the wet the windy weather, the deep area of low pressure spreads in from the southwest. it's going to be a very unsettled weekend indeed with coastal gales, especially towards the west, plenty of heavy rain, but the temperatures will rise. bye— bye. hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. new advice says all children in the uk should be given will make it from the climate editors on the futures of worker for house pump —— weather forecast. welcome back. the european union defence ministers have been meaning to discuss the war in ukraine. joseph burrell had proposed injuly that the block create a fund of up to 5 billion euros a year over four years, but multiple countries were reluctant to commit such large sums years in advance. that said, germany has signalled in recent days that it will double its military support ukraine from four to 8 billion euros. the bigger problem is arming
