we're out with police, tackling illegal electric motorbikes, tearing around at up to 70 miles an hour. and the terraces move to the streets, as thousands say a final farewell to sir bobby charlton. on bbc london... five people from the same family, including three children, die in a house fire in hounslow. we hear from locals, upset and in shock. hello. with a general election widely expected next year, rishi sunak is circling the wagons with a major reshuffle of his cabinet. the new faces include an old face, the former prime minister david cameron, out of parliament for seven years, but now foreign secretary. lord cameron — as he now is — says although he disagrees with "some individual decisions" made by rishi sunak, like the cancellation of part of h52, he believes the prime minister is a strong and capable leader. so who's been chopped from the cabinet? well, most notably, suella braverman, sacked as home secretary, following days of speculation over her future, after angering number 10 with a newspaper article, criticising the policing of pro—palestinian protests. she's been replaced by james cleverly, who says he's "absolutely committed to stopping the boats," of migrants crossing the channel. and victoria atkins becomes the new health secretary, replacing steve barclay, who becomes environment secretary. chris mason's here to kick things off. quite a day? yes, a reshuffle that was visible to the naked eye as being in the offing for a few months at least and my goodness, we could certainly see this one when it came. rishi sunak�*s earlier tweaks to his top team have been just that, tweaks, earlier tweaks to his top team have beenjust that, tweaks, but earlier tweaks to his top team have been just that, tweaks, but you certainly could not talk about tweaking today. by my calculation, four people leaving the cabinet, seven others leaving government, all sorts of sideways moves, promotions and emotions and it all started with one heck of a surprise. cor blimey — look at this! the guy who used to be prime minister, back where he used to live and back in government. the accidental instigator of the biggest shift in british foreign policy in a generation, brexit, back as the face and voice of british foreign policy. lord cameron, you were the future once. is this back to the future? from number 10 to the foreign office. david cameron's career, yes, and his walk this morning. lord cameron, foreign secretary. quite a thing. well, i know it's not usual for a prime minister to come back in this way, but i believe in public service, the prime minister asked me to do thisjob, and it's a time where we have some daunting challenges as a country. the conflict in the middle east, the war in ukraine, and of course, i hope that six years as prime minister, 11 years leading the conservative party, gives me some useful experience, and contacts, and relationships, and knowledge. david, or lord cameron's return, as we'll get used to calling him, is not universally popular among conservative mps, but plenty are making the case it's a good move. i was in david cameron's government, i was his chief whip. he's a fantastic team player. i think the prime minister's brought him into strengthen the team, and at a time when foreign affairs are incredibly important, with what's going on in ukraine and the conflict in the middle east, i think having a really experienced player at the top table is a good move. are you getting sacked for telling the truth, home secretary? - a downturn in the political weather, for now at least, for suella braverman, sacked at breakfast time. in less than a week, she had suggested the police were biased, some homeless people lived in tents as a lifestyle choice, and had challenged the prime minister's authority over a newspaper article written without his sign—off. here she was at the weekend — yesterday's home secretary standing alongside today's. by this morning, james cleverly was in downing street, wherever you looked. he is suella braverman�*s replacement. should we toughen the rulesl on protest, home secretary? it is only mid—morning, and already, this is one heck of a reshuffle — a new home secretary, a new foreign secretary who used to be prime minister. down the road a few minutes later, the new home secretary rolled up at his new office. i'm absolutely committed to stopping the boats, as we promised, but also making sure that everybody in the uk feels safe and secure. and do you want to distance yourself from the rhetoric of the previous home secretary? well, i intend to do thisjob in the way that i feel best protects the british people and our interests. meanwhile, the prime minister had been in parliament to fire people, the promoted walked the downing street catwalk, the sacked might be humiliated, but aren't usually humiliated publicly. mind you, the environment secretary, therese coffey, still turned up in downing street. she wasn't to be environment secretary much longer. the former health secretary steve barclay has taken herjob. and here is the new politician overseeing england's health service, victoria atkins. richard holden is the new conservative party chairman, and laura trott becomes the chancellorjeremy hunt's deputy as chief secretary to the treasury. the prime minister promised change, and one thing this reshuffle isn't is change. it won't change the fundamental problems of the country. it won't do anything to fix the cost of living or nhs waiting lists. and just when the moves looked done for the day, there was another former cabinet minister, esther mcvey, back in government, charged with keeping a sceptical eye on what some label as political correctness or wokery. we've got rather used to shake—ups around here in the last few years. here is another one, prompting just two questions that really matter. what difference will it make to government? and what difference, if any, will it make to its popularity — or lack of it? chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. more from chris in a few minutes. so what's behind the move to bring david cameron back into government? is it a good move for the conservative party or is it, as labour claim, a sign of desperation? here's vicki young. thank you very much. thought you'd seen the back of david cameron? this was him walking away after he lost the brexit referendum in 2016. he hums. right! since then, he has occasionally criticised his successors over cuts to foreign aid and the scrapping of parts of hs2. of course, i've disagreed with some individual decisions, but politics is a team enterprise. i've decided to join this team because i believe rishi sunak is a good prime minister doing a difficultjob at a hard time. i want to support him. i'm a member of the team, and i accept the cabinet collective responsibility that comes with that. you have got to balance your weight, that's the deal. when he became party leader, david cameron wanted to be seen as a modern, centrist, compassionate conservative, highlighting green issues in the arctic, later welcoming liberal democrats into coalition government and legalising gay marriage — all a far cry from the divisive political debate of recent years. good afternoon, everyone... after leaving office, the former prime minister retreated to his shepherd's hut to write his memoirs. there were lucrative speaking tours, charity work, and then a role with the finance group greensill capital. a committee of mps later accused him of a significant lack ofjudgment over his lobbying of ministers. the return of david cameron gives rishi sunak a seniorfigure around the cabinet table, and one with good contacts on the world stage. but with all those years of experience comes a lot of baggage — plenty for the opposition parties and some tory mps to complain about. good evening, good evening, how are you? in power, he wooed the chinese president over a pint in an english pub, and hailed a golden era of closer relations with beijing. today, a vocal group of tory mps regard china as a huge threat and think lord cameron has fostered business links with the country. i think there is a very clear conflict of the moment. until that is cleared up, i don't see how this works. because seven of us are sanctioned, we are under attack the whole time, our families are by the chinese government and their acolytes. and, you know, he is now coming in, having very close ties until literally quite recently. his foreign policy record includes the 2011 military intervention in libya. it was later strongly criticised by the foreign affairs select committee, which said action had been taken with no proper intelligence analysis, and it left libya a failed state. for many voters, lord cameron is associated with public sector cuts, and of course, brexit. his confidence that he could win the argument to keep the uk in the eu was his biggest political miscalculation, but not, as it turns out, career—ending. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. rishi sunak�*s reshuffle has coincided with a major foreign policy speech by the prime minister tonight. james landale was listening in. james, an obvious question, what could this appointment it mean for british foreign policy?— british foreign policy? despite all the excitement _ british foreign policy? despite all the excitement today, _ british foreign policy? despite all the excitement today, the - british foreign policy? despite all the excitement today, the realityj british foreign policy? despite all. the excitement today, the reality is that british foreign policy is largely made by prime ministers and not foreign secretaries which is why i'm here tonight at the guildhall to hear the prime minister delivered an incredibly robust message to israel and gaza, saying it had to act within international law, had to take all measures to protect civilians, especially at hospitals, and had to stop the extremist violence in the west bank. too many civilians, the prime minister said, were dying, losing their lives put where i think david cameron will make a difference is in the implementation, the delivery of british foreign policy. few foreign secretaries can match his international contacts book, his huge experience, and the sheer political heft he will bring to that job, most officials and diplomats i spoke to today said his counterparts would just be glad to have somebody of his calibre facing them over the table. of course there are questions as vicki young pointed out, will he escape the baggage of his premiership over brexit and china? will he try to put his own stamp on british foreign policy? as we heard, mr cameron, lord cameron says he wants to be a loyal team player and most say he probably will but if there was one issue where it might be tempted to push the envelope, i would guess it could be international development aid. 0n international development aid. on that, david cameron is a true believer, the prime minister more of a reluctant convert who has cut the budget. bill a reluctant convert who has cut the bud . et. �* a reluctant convert who has cut the budaet. �* g . , a reluctant convert who has cut the budaet. �* g. , ., ~ a reluctant convert who has cut the budaet. �* , . budget. all right, james, thank you, james landale _ budget. all right, james, thank you, james landale in _ budget. all right, james, thank you, james landale in central _ budget. all right, james, thank you, james landale in central london. - so, on a big day in politics, let's get a final few words from chris. i think the aim is to build a cabinet in his own image, and shake off some of those he inherited from liz truss, get the party on election pudding and a far as david cameron is concerned, i have heard there have been conversations infrequently between the two men since rishi sunak became prime minister and they talked last week about the idea that he might serve in government, and it's fair to say that this was a fast forward, this reshuffle, because of the remarks of suella braverman at the end of last week. and theiraim, braverman at the end of last week. and their aim, downing street to say, is having someone with clout at a time where international affairs is a huge part inevitably of the news agenda. but it has prompted a bit of a reaction and we will come to that in a second. a quick word on suella braverman and her sacking they got sick of her, that was basically what happened, they decided they were sick of her sounding off. there were quite a lot of agreements on policy between the prime minister and suella braverman but they didn't like her language and the frequency of her outbursts and the frequency of her outbursts and they really didn't like that she had ignored the suggestion around the changes of that article last week. she got a call early this morning and was out. so reaction within the party, or does it think of david cameron, lord cameron, as he is now? i of david cameron, lord cameron, as he is now?— he is now? i think mixed is the best wa to he is now? i think mixed is the best way to describe _ he is now? i think mixed is the best way to describe it, _ he is now? i think mixed is the best way to describe it, some _ he is now? i think mixed is the best way to describe it, some are - way to describe it, some are genuinely delighted and there were text, some of which i saw, referring to dc and those with the shorthand initials used when he was prime minister all those years ago but there are others in the conservative party who see him as a former conservative prime minister from a different era. this champion of remain, this author, and some describe it, of the austerity years, and they will say that the conservative party has changed radically since then. who is this guy from way back when? there is also some anger about the dispatching of suella braverman from some in the conservative party, with one former minister, never a fan of rishi sunak, publishing a letter saying she has lost confidence in him. there are some whispers without evidence that there might be a dozen orso evidence that there might be a dozen or so other people of that kind of mindset but they need to be more than that by a long way to cause the promise of trouble but downing street are aware of that. what will be interesting is what suella braverman chooses to say, perhaps in a couple of days after awaiting the outcome in the supreme court on the decision about sending migrants to rwanda, to see what she says because until now she has basically not set a lot. �* ., until now she has basically not set alot.�* ., , until now she has basically not set alot. ., , ., a lot. and of course the backdrop to all of this, a lot. and of course the backdrop to all of this. an _ a lot. and of course the backdrop to all of this, an election _ a lot. and of course the backdrop to all of this, an election which - a lot. and of course the backdrop to all of this, an election which has - all of this, an election which has to be called byjanuary all of this, an election which has to be called by january 2025 so likely next year.— to be called by january 2025 so likely next year. next year will be a aeneral likely next year. next year will be a general election _ likely next year. next year will be a general election campaign - likely next year. next year will be a general election campaign year| a general election campaign year evenif a general election campaign year even if the election itself is in the early weeks of the year after and you know what? for all the noise and you know what? for all the noise and excitability and breathlessness of westminster, i plead guilty to a smidgen of it myself, none of it really matters. it is how people absorb this and if they feel it makes any difference. you have labour making an argument, hang on, the prime minister a month ago talked about defining himself as the change candidate and now he has brought back one of the blokes he was trying to define himself against. i think what is interesting about today is it will be noticed, not least because of the reappointment of david cameron. internal critics said that the party leader, the prime minister's conference speech didn't really touch the sides and at the kings speech, didn't touch the sides and they will hope this reshuffle might and for rishi sunak, it's worth a go. and for rishi sunak, it's worth a co. �* and for rishi sunak, it's worth a .o_ �* , ., , and for rishi sunak, it's worth a co. �* , . , . and for rishi sunak, it's worth a go. all right, chris, as a book, courtesy. _ go. all right, chris, as a book, courtesy, chris _ go. all right, chris, as a book, courtesy, chris mason. - and if you are left wanting more from chris, check out the latest newscast, with adam fleming, now available on bbc sounds. onto other news now, and joe biden has warned that gaza's main hospital must be protected, and he hopes military action by the israeli defence forces will be less intrusive. the comments come as 2,000 people remain camped at the al—shifa hospital, in the north of gaza, sheltering from israeli bombardments near the building. with a lack of power due to fuel shortages, doctors there say 30 babies need to be moved to egypt if they're to survive. hamas, which is designated as a terror organisation by the uk government, says 30 people have already died at the hospital following power cuts. and tonight, israel says it's found evidence of hamas activity within another hospital in gaza. the hamas health ministry is yet to comment. orla guerin has the very latest from jerusalem. a warning — her piece contains distressing images from the start. war is closing in, and they are running out of time. these premature babies at al—shifa hospital, fighting for life without incubators. since these pictures were taken at the weekend, several babies have died at the hospital, according to health ministry officials. the hospital grounds already look like a war zone. palestinians say this is the aftermath of a recent israeli air strike. israel denies targeting the hospital. but the us presidentjoe biden has intervened, saying al—shifa must be protected and he hopes they will be less intrusive action. —— there. crammed inside, along with 600 patients, about 2,000 people who have sought refuge. israel says it has opened a safe evacuation corridor. a source in the hospital told the bbc that's totally untrue. translation: there are bullets everywhere, - especially near the windows. so nobody inside the hospital can move. some people left through the corridor they are talking about. but the men were taken. only the women escaped. one man was shot. when we tried to reach him, they fired at us. he was shot again in the chest and he died. israel claims that hamas hides beneath al—shifa and operates a command centre below ground. hamas denies this and so do doctors at the hospital. this is the hospital in the basement... this is the hospital in the basement. . ._ this is the hospital in the basement... , . . , ,, basement... the israeli army issued a video which _ basement... the israeli army issued a video which it _ basement... the israeli army issued a video which it claims _ basement... the israeli army issued a video which it claims is _ basement... the israeli army issued a video which it claims is concrete i a video which it claims is concrete proof that hamas is in gaza, in this case a children's hospital.— case a children's hospital. these are explosives, _ case a children's hospital. these are explosives, this _ case a children's hospital. these are explosives, this is _ case a children's hospital. these are explosives, this is a - case a children's hospital. these are explosives, this is a vest - case a children's hospital. these| are explosives, this is a vest with explosives. it is a body vest. here we have a rope. the explosives. it is a body vest. here we have a rape-â€
