hello, welcome to the daily global, where we'll bring you the top stories from around the world. we begin in the uk where the former home secretary suella braverman has published a scathing letter to the prime minister following her sacking on monday. in it, she accuses rishi sunak of having "repeatedly failed to deliver" on key policies, saying he's incapable of doing so. ms braverman also accuses mr sunak of a "betrayal" of his promise to do "whatever it takes" to stop small boat crossings, she says his plan is not working and he needs to change course urgently. a short while ago, our political editor, chris mason, gave us his assessment. it really is quite a letter. when this was posted on social media about an hour ago, i printed it out and armed with my highlighter pen i

thought i would highlight the key bits that stuck out. i found that i was highlighting the whole thing. it was highlighting the whole thing. it was dripping with derision about the prime minister. let mejust was dripping with derision about the prime minister. let me just read you a couple of words that struck me. disregard, wishful thinking, and a lack of certainty. really quite something from the woman who sat around the cabinet table as home secretary 48 hours ago, and this verbal assault targeted, directly, at the prime minister. it's not exactly ideal, is it? as they munch their tea in downing street tonight, not least because we can expect to hear more from suella braverman, now when she says in this letter when she accepted the job of home secretary from the prime minister, she presented a list of conditions in a document she claims she handed over to downing street and that

rishi sunak agreed to. i asked her team tonight, let's have a look at this document. i was told that that was not for today, which suggests that they planned to continue drip feeding this pungent critique over the next couple of days, with possibly the consequence of that furthering damage on the prime minister. now number ten tonight, in their own response, a spokesman saying rather acidly that the prime minister is committed to actions not words, but as far as actions or the lack of them are concerned, the focus tomorrow here will switch to the spring court which has to decide whether the government's controversial plan to send some migrants who arrive on small boats to rwanda, can go ahead. now it suella braverman is critical in her whole letter on the approach in her letter. and i think we can expect after the decision of her lawyers, further words from suella braverman.

she will have more to say, but former home secretary is not going quietly. earlier lisa nandy gave her reaction to the letter, and... earlier lisa nandy gave her reaction to the letter, and. . ._ to the letter, and... latest instalment _ to the letter, and... latest instalment of _ to the letter, and... latest instalment of a _ to the letter, and... latest instalment of a tory - to the letter, and... latest| instalment of a tory psycho to the letter, and... latest - instalment of a tory psycho dramatic instalment of a tory psycho dramatic in the last 13 years, holding the rest of the country to ransom while the tories fight amongst themselves. this was meant to be the moment when rishi sunak resets his leadership, when he signals to the country that he stands for change, but with the return of david cameron and the ongoing route with suella braverman, i think all he served to do is just show that this is a tory government that's out of energy, hopefully out of time so this country can turn a page on a very dark chapter.

conservative mp for northeast somerset gave his reaction to swallow braverman�*s letter. her swallow braverman's letter. her letter is eye _ swallow braverman's letter. he: letter is eye watering only scurrying. i can't see a resignation quite like it in history, the closest comparison i can make is joseph harrison's resignation speech as he left as prime minister, and accused margaret thatcher... broke their cricket backs. i think a number of promises were made to her when she became home secretary and they haven't delivered on, we have had a number of resets, we have had a reset with the party conference, we had a recess with the king's speech. what we really need to do is delivering on the promises in 2019 which is why people voted for us. let's get more now from lucy fisher, she's whitehall editor at the financial time.s

we were just listening to sirjacob rees mogg, who is likening suella braverman's letter to a speech jeffrey howell made when margaret thatcher was prime minister. a speech in many ways who was that was said to be the beginning of her downfalls. could this be said of rishi sunak or is it an overstatement? it rishi sunak or is it an overstatement?- rishi sunak or is it an overstatement? , . . , , overstatement? it is an incredibly aggressive. _ overstatement? it is an incredibly aggressive. as — overstatement? it is an incredibly aggressive, as creating _ overstatement? it is an incredibly aggressive, as creating attack- overstatement? it is an incredibly aggressive, as creating attack on | aggressive, as creating attack on the prime minister. attacking him on his leadership skills, accusing him of being dishonest, betraying the country and his promise to stop the boats. clearly we were expecting to hear from suella boats. clearly we were expecting to hearfrom suella braverman, she said yesterday that you know, she would comment on her sacking into course. still it has taken people the tone of this letter, but also goes to goes to lengths to subpoint out that rishi sunak failed to win a mandate from the party membership, he lost out in his trust in the first

leadership election last summer and also that he doesn't have a mandate from the country to be prime minister. before going into all the other allegations that it makes, and of course it ups the ante on the prime minister ahead of the supreme court verdict, whether the government's flagship rwanda deportation policy is lawful or not tomorrow. and in some ways suella braverman covers the eventuality that if the supreme court goes against the government, then she blames rishi sunakforfailing, for failing to give a credible plan b. she still warns that it could be difficult for the government to carry out the rwanda deportation policy in the way the public expects, because of compromises in the legislation, the illegal migration act that she says that sunak himself insisted on. i migration act that she says that sunak himself insisted on. i mean as chris was saying _ sunak himself insisted on. i mean as chris was saying earlier _ sunak himself insisted on. i mean as chris was saying earlier he _ sunak himself insisted on. i mean as chris was saying earlier he had - sunak himself insisted on. i mean as chris was saying earlier he had his i chris was saying earlier he had his highlighter or most of it, but this bit here i wanted to repeat. she

says i may not have always found the right words, but i have always striven to give voice to the quiet majority that supported us in 2019. she is saying that there is a constituency in the rank—and—file and perhaps even in the parliamentary party who sympathise with her viewpoint. what serial analysis of that? are there other mps who will agree with her sentiment? does she reflect a large part of the membership base? iretell part of the membership base? well look, she certainly _ part of the membership base? -ii look, she certainly speaks for some of her colleagues, but this week is turning into a test of her strength. and so far, i think some colleagues have been struck by how few mps seem to be backing her in any kind of public way. there was a meeting yesterday of her supporters that number just yesterday of her supporters that numberjust over a dozen, according to tory officials. we know that the new conservatives grouping of 2019 owners who sit on the work right length of the party that seemed to be aligned with her on issues such

as illegal migration, they are planning to meet tomorrow morning. again they are only expecting around 20-25 mps to again they are only expecting around 20—25 mps to turn up to that meeting. some tory mps have remarked that her tone has been a bit ott in this letter. she may have gone far enough to attacking the bram and us, even mps who are critical of rishi sunak realised that ill discipline and an outbreak of civil war and the party will do nothing to help their chances at the next election. they may be that she is actually dented support in the viciousness of her attack on sunak tonight. luca; support in the viciousness of her attack on sunak tonight. lucy fisher from the financial _ attack on sunak tonight. lucy fisher from the financial times, _ attack on sunak tonight. lucy fisher from the financial times, thank- attack on sunak tonight. lucy fisher from the financial times, thank you j from the financial times, thank you very much forjoining us and i should say if you do want more on that breaking story and that letter, from suella braverman to rishi sunak and more analysis from our teams at westminster you can of course go to the bbc news website. now to our other main story of the day. medical staff at gaza's biggest

hospital say a mass grave has been dug for patients, who died after it ran out of fuel. a doctor at the al shifa hospital says around 200 have been buried, after dying when vital hospital equipment stopped working due to power cuts and fuel shortages, caused by israel's offensive against hamas. fighting between the israeli military and hamas is continuing around the hospital. israeli tanks have surrounded the facility and there've been reports of explosions nearby. the uk and the us have appealed to the israeli military to show restraint around al? shifa. israel insists it is only targeting hamas, and that their command centre is in tunnels beneath the hospital. our chief international correspondent orla guerin reports. 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. the bodies which have been in the hospital for more than five days now, more than 120 dead bodies within the hospital area. the very bad men there, we are sure, of all kinds of infections will be transmitted that one. just across the gaza border inside israel. we joined ultra—orthodox 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. funerals are still being held. for israel, october the seventh 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 of...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. orla guerin, bbc news on the israel—gaza border. earlier i spoke with ori givati, advocacy director for breaking the silence — an organisation of veteran soldiers who have served in the israeli military. i started by asking him for his assessment on the israeli military campaign's progress.

an extremely difficult situation that we have to acknowledge. first of all, we are still picking up the pieces from the devastating atrocities committed against our society on the 7th of october. and we are in the midst of a ground invasion and a heavy military operation, a war in gaza. and basically everything here is unprecedented. so it's very, very difficult to assess the situation. but i can say a few things. first of all, i think that what needs to guide us at this moment is the most important task, which is to return the hostages. nothing that we can do on that we are doing at the moment, and that is not directly leading to the return. the safe return of all hostages is going to be worth anything, but we cannot proceed without it. let me ask you, though, what is the way for those hostages to be safely returned, in your view?

look, i wish i had the best answer, right? if i had the best answer, i assume they will already be here. i think that what we need right now that we are not getting and i'm saying this as i hear families of the hostages speaking out every day here in the streets, in the media, here is the the that our leaders, the people who guide this war, which which i don't trust and many of israelis don't trust whatsoever that have the best intentions in their mind at this point will do everything they can to return these hostages. this is not the feeling i have as an israeli right now, that this is what guides them. this is what we need to demand from our leaders. i don't know. i'm not a military expert. i don't know exactly how how what is the best way. i don't know exactly how, what is the best way. but we need to make sure that this is the top priority. so do you support what benjamin netanyahu is doing at the moment? look, we have to remember that the cause, the reason

that we started this war differently than other operations in gaza in the past is a legitimate cause for war. we, our people were massacred. but that doesn't mean that we can do whatever we want. and what i and we in breaking the silence are saying, it's very simple. if there is a legitimate cause for war, it's that it must be in light of a better and safer future. and the way that right now, netanyahu and his government are speaking about this war, including people, ministers who are calling to return to the settlements in gaza. this is not a pathway to a safer future for all of us, israelis and palestinians. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

let's look at some other stories making news. scientists advising the uk government have recommended that two doses of the chickenpox vaccine should be given to all children — at 12 and 18 months of age. thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation says data from other countries suggests the vaccine would dramatically reduce the circulation of chickenpox, and prevent the most severe cases in children. figures released today show uk wages outstripped inflation by the largest margin in two years — but the rate at which they're growing is starting to slow down. average earnings rose by 7.7% in the three months to september, compared with the same period a year ago. the bbc says it has received a total of five complaints about russell brand's behaviour from when he hosted radio shows between 2006 and 2008. two of the five complaints about the comedian were made in the last two months, since a review of his time at the bbc was launched. russell brand has previously denied any wrongdoing.

you're live with bbc news something the oligarch has long denied. leaked documents analysed by bbc news knight, bbc verify the most famous russian oligarch in the west.

allegations of a financial as well as a political connection between roman abramovich and vladimir putin have swirled for years. but newsnight and the bureau of investigativejournalism have uncovered a paper trail of evidence which apparently shows it. the files were obtained by the international consortium of investigativejournalists as part of its cyprus confidential project. roman abramovich was the beneficiary of a trust which ultimately owned two cypriot—registered shell companies through a series of other shell companies. in 2003, these two companies acquired a 25% stake in russia's dominant tv advertising company, video international, for a mysteriously low price ofjust $260,000.

in 2010, they sold these stakes in video international to two other cypriot shell companies for just $40 million, a price that appears to be below a reasonable assessment of their fair market value. the nominal beneficial owners of the shell companies were sergei roldugin and alexander plekhov, who have been identified as close financial associates of putin. so in a nutshell, what this paper trail suggests is that abramovich effectively transferred a large stake in a russian company to individuals close to putin for a price that appears to be below fair market value. i can see that brick by brick international investigative community is building a pretty solid tower of evidence connecting abramovich to putin. this is the sort of mechanism that we've seen on a number of occasions before to transfer value between individuals connected with the kremlin and the kremlin. so on the face of it, this would seem to be far from innocent.

so how did we get this vital information, this confirmation of an apparent financial connection between roman abramovich and vladimir putin? it's because of a leak of documents from a firm here in cyprus called merit service, which had been looking after roman abramovich's global financial fortune. what you're actually seeing is an operation within europe, within europe, a sophisticated clandestine operation, at odds, completely at odds with western interests. despite attempts to contact mr plekhov, mr roldugin, and mr abramovich for a comment, we did not get a response. the true relationship between the oligarch and the president comes into focus and raises uncomfortable questions about how it was facilitated and concealed for so long, and who it profited. ben chu, bbc news. a senior officer involved

in the stephen lawrence murder case was corrupt, according to a secret metropolitan police report from the year 2000 — that has been uncovered by the bbc. it said ray adams was cleared by a corruption probe which relied on false testimony from a man linked to the family of one of stephen's killers. the revelation contradicts years of police denial about the role of corrupt officers in the case. daniel de simone reports. the spectre of police corruption has long haunted the stephen lawrence murder. for three decades, scotland yard kept the secret we now expose. the met knew about it. that's what's so shocking. today we reveal a met police report concluded that a senior officer involved in the case, ray adams, was corrupt. the early failure to bring stephen's killers to justice led to suspicion that corruption infected the investigation. father of one killer was clifford norris, a gangsterfrom a criminalfamily known for suspicious contact with police.

the public inquiry into the murder probed the issue. it didn't find corruption. somebody contacted us this morning... ray adams, a former commander, appeared as a witness. but i've now seen a secret scotland yard report into the stephen lawrence case that concludes ray adams was corrupt. it says ray adams was cleared by a flawed corruption probe which relied on lies from an informant linked to the family headed by the father of one of stephen's killers. it says a totally fictitious account by the informant was used to discredit a witness against ray adams. the informant must have been coached by ray adams or another officer, and this amounted to flagrant acts of attempting to pervert the course of justice. the public inquiry into the murder didn't hear about this evidence from the informant. the barrister for stephen's family says the information would have been key. the met seemed to have covered up the true nature of adams,

when they must have known what he was really like. it would have made, in my view, a very substantial difference. the witness discredited by the informant was criminal james malone, who'd made comments apparently suggesting he'd paid ray adams. i was on trial at the london sessions, and... the informant said he'd heard malone boast of making false corruption claims about adams. but the secret report says this was a lie. there was no link between the informant and malone. it says there was no evidence ray adams influenced the murder inquiry. stephen's family now want further investigation by the met. the bbc is doing itsjob investigating what happened in stephen's case. so there's a real need to look at this. and if there is a tiny scintilla of that happening, the met should take it up with open arms. ray adams says he's asked the met to appoint a senior officer to investigate the serious allegations against him. the met didn't answer my questions.

the force says it will review material before deciding whether any further action is required. stephen's family want justice and the full truth. daniel de simone, bbc news. king charles celebrated his 75th birthday, helping people facing food poverty. this was the king celebrating on the eve of his birthday, gun salutes being held across london, including this 41 gun salute by the king �*s troops, royal force artillery, in green park. an hour later, the honourable artillery company, fired 62 volleys on the banks of the thames at the tower of london. very happy birthday to the king and anyone else who is celebrating today, do you stay with

us here on the bbc. 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 rainbows 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 sheltered 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.
