of betraying the nation in a scathing letter after she was sacked. she launches an all out attack on his leadership and integrity a day after he removed her as home secretary. a new team around the cabinet table this morning — but how damaging could her words prove to be? her letter is eye wateringly excoriating. i've never seen a resignation letter like it. and neither have i. word after word, page after page — this letter drips with derision. we'll talk you through what's in it, and what it might mean. also on the programme... the white house and the pentagon say they have intelligence that supports israel's claims that hamas are operating from tunnels below gaza's hospitals. mcdonald's fires more than a dozen workers in the uk after a bbc investigation into claims of harrassment, bullying and racism.

and we report from iceland — as a town is evacuated amid growing fears of a volcanic erruption there. the adage that revenge is a dish best served cold in the sanctum secretary has a blistering attack on rishi sunak on newsnight at 1030. good evening. suella braverman has launched an all out attack on the prime minister a day after he sacked her as home secretary. in a letter to the prime minister — she told rishi sunak that his plan is not working, the party is running out of time and he needs to change course urgently. the letter was relentless in its personal attacks — strewn with stinging words — like weak, betrayal, failed. let's go straight to westminster and our political editor chris mason.

you picked three words but there are plenty for me to go out. here are a few more, wishful thinking, no appetite for doing what is necessary, equivocation and lack of interest. downing street said the prime minister's focus was on actions and not words. after this letter that challenges his competence and his integrity. what's the line — it never rains but it pours? suella braverman has done it again. as you mightjust have noticed, the former home secretary specialises in verbal downpours. her latest target — the prime minister. here were the two of them back in march... there aren't any kisses on her letter to him tonight. she claims they did a deal. she'd back him to be prime minister if he delivered on key promises, including on immigration. in her missive, she writes...

suella braverman once said her dream and obsession was to see planes taking off to rwanda with illegal migrants on board. she claims she came up with ideas to stop the policy being blocked by the european convention on human rights, which the uk is signed up to. she also repeats her criticism of the pro—palestinian marches in london, saying more should have

been done to ban them. her letter is eye wateringly excoriating. i've never seen a resignation like it. i can't recall one from history. a cabinet ministerfinding himself on the radio had a go at claiming there's not much to see here... cabinet reshuffle are nothing new and as we go into what is probably a year before the next general election, it would be rather unusual, actually, if the cabinet was not reset at that point. what i experienced this morning when i attended cabinet was a united cabinet. united, having got rid of suella braverman. this is what mel stride was talking about. this strong and united team is going to deliver... the new cabinet met today. new faces, old faces, and old new faces. but this rejig, including

david cameron, is winding up some conservatives who say the party has moved on since the eu referendum. 2016 was a mark... should have been a line in the sand, saying we are going to move from that political consensus back towards the views of ordinary people. there was a sign of hope of that in 2019 but my fear about the reshuffle is it marks we have moved the other way. as for labour, you won't be surprised they are saying... suella braverman's letter is just the latest instalment in a tory psychodrama that has been playing out over the last 13 years. cabinet reshuffles sometimes go unnoticed — not this one. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. the former home secretary's letter comes ahead of tomorrow's crucial ruling by the supreme court on the lawfulness of the government's scheme to send some asylum seekers to rwanda to claim asylum there. our home editor mark easton reports. the new home secretary has barely

got through the door of his office but james cleverly faces the real threat that within 48 hours of his arrival, the centrepiece of his department's illegal migration policy will be in tatters. i had a very good conversation with the prime minister, who's made it very clear that he wants us to deliver on our promises to stop the boats. thank you. with the prime minister's demands still ringing in his ears, civil servants will have briefed him on his narrowing options, should tomorrow morning's supreme courtjudgement be that sending asylum seekers to rwanda is unlawful. the government believes that by swiftly relocating cross—channel arrivals to east africa, the business model of the people smuggling gangs will be fatally damaged. 615 arrived on the kent coast on sunday alone. there is a serious and pressing need to take effective steps that will act as a deterrent. the government wants the supreme court justices to overturn the appeal court's conclusion that

genuine refugees sent to rwanda might end up back in the country from which they fled, breaching their human rights under the european convention. if the government wins tomorrow, ministers are hopeful that flights will take off for rwanda before christmas. if they lose, its thought the home office will seek a new treaty with the rwandan government to take account of the concerns of the supreme courtjustices. but there are some in the conservative party who argue the real problem is the uk's commitment to the european convention on human rights. as foreign secretary, mr cleverly said he was not convinced the uk needed to leave the convention. as home secretary, will he still think the same tomorrow? mark easton, bbc news. let's go back to chris now. how big a deal is tomorrow? and where does today leave rishi sunak? tomorrow is a landmark day in the government of rishi sunak. why do i say that? because the rwanda plan is

a benchmark, flagship policy that has been bogged down in the courts for ages and reaches its final moment, around ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and if the government wins, it would be a huge moment politically. psychologically, a reset after the trouble that rishi sunak has confronted. but the expectation within government is that they will probably lose, may even be quite a messy outcome, a qualified yes or a qualified no, and then there would be a row that would break out about what has happened and what should happen next. suella braverman mightjust be a contributor i suspected that row. where do her contributions so far leave rishi sunak? there are clumps of disagreements and discombobulating within the

conservative party, and they are finding a voice, some of them unhappy with the reshuffle, some of them unhappy with what they see as a lack of direction within the government, and the question now is to what extent do they coagulate into some sort of bigger thing that causes rishi sunak a real headache? because, after all the chaos of the last couple of years, the conservative party is getting a bit world—weary for whipping up yet more internal civil war but then again, after the last couple of years, who knows? , ~., ,., after the last couple of years, who knows? , ., ., knows? chris mason, thanks for “oininu knows? chris mason, thanks for joining us- _ the white house and the pentagon say they have intelligence that hamas and palestinian islamichhad are operating from tunnels below hospitals, including gaza's largest — al shifa. and are also storing weapons there. it's the first time they have so fully supported israel's claims.

the gaza strip has been under siege by the israel defence forces since hamas launched its attacks in israel on the 7th of october. hamas — which governs gaza — is designated a terrorist organisation by the uk. israel says the al shifa hospital compound conceals an underground command centre used by hamas — a claim doctors deny. despite its new intelligence, the us says hospitals and patients must be protected. today, the uk government issued its toughest criticism yet of how israel is waging war in gaza. the foreign office minister andrew mitchell said too many civilians were dying as he condemned the violence around the hospital. our chief international correspondent orla guerin has the story — her report contains distressing images. gunfire warwar war war now war war 110w resounds war war now resounds through deserted streets. this is gaza city.

israel is pushing forward, despite international concern about the cost. its forces closing in on key targets. its tanks are at the gates of al shifa hospital and the white house says they have intelligence that there is a command centre under al shifa but they say the hospital and its patients must be protected. and here are some of the most vulnerable. in a carefully choreographed video, released by the hamas run health ministry. it appears to show premature babies being transferred to an area which is well lit with equipment working. the ministry says they had to be moved when their incubators had lost power. we cannot verify this. in the

grounds, so many decomposing bodies that a mass grave has been dark. — a mass grave has been dug. just across the gaza border, inside israel, we joined ultraorthodox volunteers today, confronting the darkest horrors. they are still searching forfragments of human remains, inside bomb shelters, where israelis hid in terror last month from hamas gunmen. well, the search hasjust 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 the 7th 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. you must be very hard to take away with you. it you must be very hard to take away with ou. , ,., ., with you. it is something that will robabl with you. it is something that will probably row _ with you. it is something that will probably row -- _ with you. it is something that will probably row -- remain _ with you. it is something that will probably row -- remain with - with you. it is something that will probably row -- remain with me | with you. it is something that will. probably row -- remain with me for probably row —— remain with me for the rest of my life but it is a sacrifice i'm willing to do. the volunteers themselves get counselling, to cope with what they see. orla guerin, bbc news, on the israel—gaza border. more than half of gaza's hospitals

are now non—functional — according to the world health organization. more than 1,000 babies are being born every week in gaza on average. our correspondent yogita limaye — who can't get into gaza — has been working with a freelance journalist majdi fathi who lives there — and has used his footage to tell the story of the mothers struggling to find a safe place to give birth. baby cries born in a precarious world. this little boy is one day old — still to be named. his parents fled bombings in gaza city. under the stress of war, he's been born prematurely and needs help to breathe. in the next bed, a four day old girl who's critical. there's been no time to name her either. and they're running out of medicines which could treat her. incubators are still on at the al—aqsa hospital in central gaza.

but the fighting is drawing closer. this is hassan — named by hospital staff. both his parents were killed in bombings. he was found cradled in his mother's arms. it's a painful time in gaza. it's excruciating for new mothers. four days ago, kifah�*s baby girl was born. she was heavily pregnant when she was forced to flee her home. translation: i've had to run more than once. | walking under the constant threat of being bombed. i saw people's bodies being ripped apart. i faced extreme exhaustion and was scared for my baby's life. at hospital, i got no painkillers while giving birth. asma has walked with her three children for more than 15 miles.

she's pregnant. this is refuge in a hospital compound. "my children sleep on the sheet, i sleep on the ground," she says. "so many women suffered miscarriages due to the terrifying "sound of the explosions. "i was scared i'd lose my baby. "sometimes i felt like i couldn't feel my baby move," she says. "i had to carry my child and our bags. "my children have been exposed to such horrors. "dead bodies, cars bombed with people inside." this is what she now faces, along with hundreds of thousands. people who had homes and jobs. boys and girls who had a childhood. struggling for a few drops of water. yogita limaye, bbc news, jerusalem.

mcdonald's has fired 18 workers after the bbc spoke to more than 100 staff — current and recent — who made allegations of sexual harrasment, bullying and racism at the restaurant chain. the company has now received more than 400 compaints from employees sincejuly, after a bbc investigation found that workers as young as 17 were being groped and harassed almost routinely. today, the boss of mcdonalds�* uk told mps that he was determined to root out any such behaviour from the business. our employment correspondent zoe conway reports. mcdonald's does 100% have a problem with sexual harassment. it's just disgusting behaviour. i would get really upset - about going in and i would cry a lot before my shift. it was voices like these, heard during the months—long bbc investigation into mcdonald's, that led to the chief executive, alistair macrow, being summoned to parliament. these testimonies are

truly, truly horrific. it's very hard to listen to. injuly, the company set up an investigations unit. today, the ceo revealed it had received 400 complaints, including of sexual harassment, racism and bullying. he said some cases have gone to the police, and 18 staff members have been fired. mr macrow, it sounds like profit is more important than protecting workers. that is absolutely not the case. the most important thing in our business is our people. our people are our brand. our people are the face of mcdonald's to our customers. we do everything we can to look after our people. employees have told the bbc that when allegations were made about a manager, rather than discipline them, they were moved to another store. for the first time, publicly, the ceo admitted this had been happening. a manager will not be moved to another restaurant to avoid a disciplinary. that will now be dealt with within that particular, in that particular restaurant. "now" be dealt with? it wasn't in the past?

moving people was something that used to occur. emily and ed, two ex—mcdonald's workers, were in the room as the ceo gave evidence. iwhen i left the room, what i didl feel reassured about was the fact that he would continue to deflect from the issue and make himself and make his whole pr team and make mcdonald's as a whole look _ like they're doing something about something, where - nothing is being done. it's upsetting that people — this is happening on such a huge level that it has come to parliament. mcdonald's teenage workers feel like they're finally being heard, but they've told us they want the company to go further to keep them safe. zoe conway, bbc news. could chickenpox be made a disease of the past? health experts are advising the government that all children should be vaccinated against the chickenpox virus as toddlers. but why? our medical editor fergus walsh

is here to explain. thank you, sophie. chickenpox is a higly contagious and very common childhood disease, triggered by the varicella—zoster virus. it causes an itchy, spotty rash with small blisters. in most cases, chickenpox is a mild illness, but the wounds can become infected with bacteria. in rare cases, it can cause brain swelling and even be fatal. three—year—old leah spent nine days in hospital earlier this year after getting chickenpox complications. leah was really ill when she got chickenpox. she seemed fine and then went really downhill. she got sepsis, was treated for cellulitis, blue lighted to the children's hospital and had two emergency surgeries to try and save her life. so i would definitely recommend the vaccine if i'd have known then what i know now. thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation recommends two doses of chickenpox

vaccine at 12 and 18 months, to be combined with the mmr jab into a single shot. it also wants a catch—up programme for older children. it will prevent the milder end of the chickenpox cases, which are unpleasant for children and their families. but importantly, prevent the tens of thousands of gp visits each year, the thousands of hospitalisations from chickenpox and its complications. and also, the very severe cases and, sadly, the deaths that occur. back in 2009, thejcvi ruled out a vaccine programme over fears it might cause a rise in cases of shingles in middle age. shingles is a painful condition where the chickenpox virus gets reactivated. but the committee says nearly 30 years of evidence from the us suggests this won't happen. the government says it will consider the newjcvi recommendation. for now, the vaccine is available privately but

costs around £75 a dose. fergus, thank you. seven members of a child sex ring have been convicted of multiple counts of child abuse in what is believed to be the largest prosecution of its kind in scotland. the five men and two women were found guilty of a number of charges including rape and sexual abuse. four of them were found guilty of attempted murder. another women was found guilty of assault. while three people were acquitted of all charges. with more details, here is our scotland correspondent lorna gordon. the eight people whose crimes "plunged the depths of human depravity", thejudge said. seven of them, shown here, subjected the children to a catalogue of violence and sexual abuse, including rape. four of the gang were also convicted of attempting to murder one of the youngsters. by by trapping her in a cupboard, a fridge. the case centred around two girls

and a boy, all under 13. a number of witnesses became emotional as they told the court in glasgow how the youngsters changed from being happy and friendly to withdrawn and tormented. for seven years, the children suffered their abuse in silence. how can this possibly happen in this day and age? but it is unusual, its extreme. but all of us need to ask ourselves... you know, these were children living in the community, that surrounded them and would have been around and itjust fills you with horror, the thought that that sort of thing can go unnoticed and we all need to take a look at ourselves. one of the youngsters described the location where the abuse took place as the "dark and scary beastie house". police praised the courage of the victims, who they said were subjected to unimaginable abuse and whose testimony was essential to securing the convictions. those found guilty will be sentenced in january. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow.

a senior officer involved in the stephen lawrence murder case was corrupt, according to a secret metropolitan police report that has been uncovered by the bbc. the report from the year 2000 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. the report says ray adams was cleared by a flawed corruption probe, which relied on lies from an informant linked to the norris crime family. it says a totally fictitious account by the informant discredittted 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 seem to have covered up the true nature of adams, where they must have known what he was really like. it would have made, in my view, a very substantial difference. the informant�*s evidence discredited a witness against ray adams by saying he'd boasted of making false corruption claims about the officer. but the secret report says this was a lie — there was no link between the informant and the witness. 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 told me he's asked the met 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. the bbc says it's received two further complaints about the behaviour of actor and comedian russell brand. the corporation is now investigating a total of five complaints about his conduct between 2006 and 2008 when he was employed as a presenter on radio 2. he's strongly denied any wrongdoing. south yorkshire police have arrested a man on suspicion of manslaughter — following the death of an ice hockey player in sheffield last month. adamjohnson, who played for the nottingham panthers, suffered a serious neck injury during a match against the sheffield steelers — he later died in hospital. navteonhal is in nottingham. this is where adam johnson played

for his team, the nottingham panthers, and his death has shocked i hockey fans notjust here in the city or the uk but around the world. last month, he was playing a match for the panthers against the sheffield steelers when his neck was cut by a skate during the game. he was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead and a postmortem examination confirmed that he had died as a result of a fatal neck injury. at the time, the panthers described it as a freak accident. south yorkshire police has today arrested a man on suspicion of manslaughter. he remains in custody but has so far not been charged. the outpouring of grief that followed adam johnson's death is visible here. there are flowers behind me but the police have asked the public to refrain from any comment or speculation which may hinder this investigation.— investigation. thank you, navte'

johal more than 400 people living in barton house tower block in the redfield area of bristol have been evacuated by the city council following fears the building is unsafe. esidents have been asked to move out immediately after survey work on three flats found major structural faults. residents are being told to pack enough clothes for a day or two. have a look at this. this enormous crack has opened up on a road in iceland today, after the area was hit by hundreds of earthquakes yesterday. a bbc team filming there were among those urged to leave the town of grindavik, which is under threat from a volcanic eruption. jessica parker sent this report. the long road into grindavik — a town on the edge of this volcanic island. those who've had to leave hope for a chance to briefly return. we get permission to go in. inside, it's a ghost town that's being violently ripped apart. there's no time to waste

for residents — it's grab and go. how does it feel having to pack up all your belongings like this? horrible. yeah, just terrible. just getting things for my kids and getting out of here. they have five minutes to decide what to save from further earthquakes or a possible eruption. you really feel the town could be destroyed? yeah, i believe so. it's already, half of it is destroyed. the next few hours or days will tell us what is going to happen. suddenly, we're told we've got to go. everybody... siren wails. evacuation? there was a bit of a commotion and we were told the whole area was being evacuated. a stream of cars, those that were in grindavik, left. everyone seemed to be packing up.

it was, we later hear, alarm that magma may be nearing the surface nearby.
