and now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. from the ten team — goodnight. she holds one of the most senior offices of state, but has suella braverman sealed herfate by defying downing street and accusing the police of bias. the police of bias? we have an exclusive interview with the minister for london who says we need to lower the temperature. is suella braverman�*s position tenable? well, ithink, you know, i just say to every minister and every political leader we have to just use our language carefully, and we have to make sure that we concentrate on dampening things down, rather than fuelling that sort of hatred, and that division. we'll be joined by the former conservative attorney general dominic grieve, and the historian and political commentator tim stanley. also tonight. in gaza, israel agrees to daily four hour pauses in their fight with hamas to ensure palestinians can get food and supplies, and travel to the south without fear ofan airstrike. meanwhile, on the west bank, israeli settlers�* clashes with palestinians have intensified. we'll ask the deputy spokesman for the us state department if he can guarantee american made guns will not find their way into the hands of west bank settlers. and in view of the metropolitan police commissioner's decision to stand firm and allow saturdays pro—palestinian march in london to go ahead, we'll be speaking to one of the organisers, and a representative of the campaign against anti—semitism who wants it banned. good evening. suella braverman has had a rocky road as home secretary, but her self—penned times newspaper salvo at the met, unsanctioned by rishi sunak, could see her tipped over the edge and out of the cabinet. there is certainly febrile specuation among political journalists that she may become the victim of a reshuffle. her first stint as home secretary, appointed by liz truss, came to a short sharp end when she resigned over a breach of the ministerial code, only to be reinstated by new pm rishi sunak. so since then, has he given herfree rein to say and do what he couldn't, to keep his right flank close? except now, has she inflamed an already difficult situation, accusing the met of "playing favourites," being guilty of "double standards," repeating her allegation that pro—palestinian marches are hate marches and making an assertion that these marches are of the kind we are more likely to see in northern ireland? nick is here with the latest. has this been build being a head of steam today?— has this been build being a head of steam toda ? , . ., steam

belief that goes _ steam today? very much so and there a strong belief that goes from - steam today? very much so and there a strong belief that goes from the - a strong belief that goes from the backbenches, right up to cabinet that rishi sunak should fire suella braverman. i was talking to one grandee and this person told me that the home secretary's behaviour has been crass because it undermines the prime minister, but it is counter productive because we have gone from talking about labour division to talking about labour division to talking about labour division to talking about conservatives, so i was talking to one ally of the home secretary and saying what is this about, is she trying to get herself sacked. they said to me for suella braverman, a commitment to profound beliefs comes before calculation, and there have been discussions in her circle and they go like this, unless the archbishop, the guardian, the bbc and most of the men they yacht are up in arms about suella braverman, she is not doing herjob properly, so is rishi sunak going to sack her? we know about rishi sunak, he moves with great caution, so he would want to see that she has broken procedures, if he is going to sack he also, the prime minister owes suella braverman, it was her support for him last year, that eased her path into number ten and one former cabinet minister on the right said if suella braverman is sacked, there will be 60 supporters on the backbenches agitating for her and potentially writing those letters of no confidence in rishi sunak because this person said rishi sunak because this person said rishi sunak is 23 points behind in opinion polls, so look, another difficult day for the prime minister, thanks to a home secretary who does rather regularly give him headaches. an uneasy partnership born in the febrile days when the conservatives chopped and changed their leaders. a lack of warmth apparent earlier this week, and now, rishi sunak is facing calls to sack suella braverman, after she defied his authority. an unprecedented attack on the police by the home secretary, who ignored some of number ten's requests for changes to that article. that raises the prospect of an investigation under the ministerial code. 0n the face of it, a clear breach. the code says that all major announcements, speeches, press releases and new policy initiatives should be cleared in draft with number ten. but friends believe there is some wriggle room in the code. it talks of clearing the policy content, not, they say, opinions about that. the code also says articles should be agreed with number ten. does thatjust mean agreement for the principles of the piece? and then the code says ministers must abide by collective government policy, which friends say she did on the policy content. but many tory mps, including ministers, were alarmed by the home secretary's intervention. is suella braverman�*s position tenable? well, ithink, you know, i would say to every minister, and every political leader, we've got to just use our language carefully, and we've got make sure that we concentrate on dampening things down, rather than fuelling that sort of hatred and that division. is that what she has been doing, fuelling that hatred and division? well, that is what i was saying. it is not for my position to call upon people's jobs. i'm just saying as leaders we have to be really careful about our tone. others were supportive of suella braverman�*s unease about a pro—palestinian march on armistice day. the met have operational responsibility, i'm not inferring in that, but i am begging, and i use that word advisedly, begging them, for the sake of those servicemen, ex—servicemen and the public, who hold this as a sacred day, think again, because the threat is the damage to that day. we don't need protests on that day. this is a monumentally difficult moment for rishi sunak, a cabinet minister openly challenging his authority, and conservative mps lining up to tell the chief whip suella braverman must be fired. and one of the prime minister's closest allies told me the home secretary is completely out of control, she has got to go. but the prime minister is moving with caution. it shouldn't be forgotten that his path to number ten was eased last year by the support of suella braverman. he will face increasingly sharp questions about how he can possibly allow suella braverman to remain in his cabinet, because there is a principle of cabinet collective responsibility, if you are in the cabinet, you are not a backbencher, you don't go off freelancing, you stick to the government line. there is scope within that to have people expressing different views on different things, but actively defying downing street's orders is something else all together. this is not the first time this week, in the last couple of weeks, that we have seen other members of the cabinet have to go out on the media round and distance themselves from comments suella braverman has made, whether that be about law and order now, whether that be about homelessness and rough sleeping a week ago. a conservative commentator is supportive of the home secretary. well, i mean i have disagreed with suella braverman, the home secretary's stances on various things in the past. i think in this case, this article that has caused so much consternation was extremely balanced and it teased things out in a fair way, there were serious issues at stake. so my view is she is absolutely bang on, she is absolutely right to question whether these so—called pro—palestinian marches fall within the law, and whether they don't pose legitimate threats to public order. a day of pageantry, as parliament celebrates an old tradition, but little sign of celebration among the cabinet's awkward duo. joining me now is former conservative attorney general dominic grieve and historian and telegraph columnist tim stanley. backbenches agitating for her and potentially writing those letters good evening to you both, dominic grieve, we should say you are form irchair of the security committee, has suella braverman in your view made her own position untenable? it looks to me to be untenable because she has done two things, firstly she has carried out an attack on the independence of the police. and they are independent, they must be allowed to enforce the law without fear or favour, allowed to enforce the law without fear orfavour, it is not for allowed to enforce the law without fear or favour, it is not for her publiclitor, attack the police in this fashion, and it gives the impression she wishes to control the police decision making, and that in a free and democratic society is unacceptable. that is herfirst thing, then, on the face of it she has created chaos within government. because it is quite apparent that there are large number of fellow ministers who disagree with what she is saying, the government's collective line which is essential for the properfunctioning is being torn apart. for the proper functioning is being torn a art. �* ., for the proper functioning is being torn aart. �* ., , ., torn

that is a breach of collective responsibility, and bring her tenure in office to an end. and she is, her misconduct is really very grave. i disagree with tim about this point, 90% of the population might dislike these demonstrations, but if they are lawful, she has a duty to allow them to take place in a country which is free and where people are entitled to freedom of expression, i accept they

that these can be carried out peacefully with no significant public disorder, what she is doing is undermining some absolutely basic tenets of freedom of expression in this country, and she is, cannot

saturday's pro—palestinian march in london will take place on armistice day. it will set off from hyde park corner and head to the us embassy, and it will begin at 12pm, an hour after the laying of the wreaths at the cenotaph in whitehall. the prime minister has described the march as "provocative and disrespectful", but the met commissioner, sir mark rowley, has judged that the threshold to ban it has not been met. in a moment, we'll talk to one of the march's organisers ben jamal. but first, gideon falter, from the campaign against semitism. thank you very much forjoining us. do you accept that on saturday, many people are marching for peace? the thin that people are marching for peace? tue: thing that is people are marching for peace? tt;e: thing that is really people are marching for

last few weeks, we have had people calling saying, chanting from london to gaza, we have had people calling forjihad. we have had people from placard showing a star of david thrown in a bin with a caption saying, let's keep the world clean. if you were somebody going to a march week after week and he was seeing this kind of thing and hearing medieval battle cries in arabic warning jews that the

thejewish community, there are people who live in central london and have vacated their homes. there are synagogues that have changed their service times on the sabbath and changed their schedules and closed their doors in some cases because of fears. there arejewish people who have been assaulted on the streets, there arejewish people who have had all sorts of chants hurled at them in the context of this rally. so that is not what a peace rally looks like to me. so we know anti-semitic _ peace rally looks like to me. so we know anti-semitic attacks - peace rally looks like to me. so we know

voices, as i said. anti—semitic hate crime has increased ilt fold nearly according to the metropolitan police. anti—muslim hate crime also has increased threefold. jews represent half a percent of the population in this country. and whilst we have freedoms such as the freedom to protest in this country, that is balanced against obligations. and we have obligations not to glorify terrorism, not to call forjihad, not to incite racial hatred. and when those marches become hotbeds of that kind of activity and the police are unable to police them properly and take action against the people doing

four—hour military pauses in northern gaza to let civilians travel south, a perilous journey, to relative safety. the white house said the move represents a significant first step, but the israeli military has made it clear, "there is no ceasefire". today, the islamichhad group in gaza released a video of two israeli hostages — an elderly woman and a boy. but away from the daily hell, international conversations are turning to the way ahead. the us secretary antony blinken has reiterated the us call for a two—state solution, with the palestinian authority in charge in both gaza and the west bank, where serious tension between palestinians and israelis have been inflamed since the war began. last night, at least two palestinians were killed in an israeli raid into thejenin refugee camp, and at least 20 more were wounded, according to the palestinian health ministry. these raids are almost nightly in the israelis search for militants and, according to the un, this year, more than 400 palestinians — both militants and civilians — have been killed by both israeli forces or by settlers in the occupied west bank. the israeli government requested 24,000 assault rifles from us gunmakers, but there are concerns they could be given to settlers in the west bank. i'll be talking to the deputy spokesman at the us department of state, but first, here'sjo inwood's report from the west bank. olive trees have grown in these lands for thousands of years. a sign of permanence and resistance. they are politically important, their oil was used to anoint kings, and economically essential. now, including for ahmed. he used to make good money working in israel. but after the atrocities of october 7th, almost all travel between arab and israeli areas were stopped and he lost his job. translation: sometimes, i pick olives. _ other times, i clean robes. i chase work from day to day. in israel, i used to work every day. i went there in the morning and left in the late afternoon. there is no work now. i work one day here, one day there, in the fields, picking olives. i need to feed my family. what can i do? and it's notjust economic life that has been affected. travel for palestinians around the west bank has been severely limited since october the 7th. translation: you cannot come and go. they have closed roads. i can only walk around my home. you have land, you can work it, but you have to remain closed to your home. i cannot neither go right nor left. checkpoints are suffocating us. the west bank is divided into three areas, a, b and c. a is run exclusively by the palestinian authority. israelis are banned from entering. b isjointly administered and c is run by israel, with the idf responsible for security. palestinian areas are split into small pockets come up with israeli roads often dividing them. now under the previous government of naftali bennett, the expansion of roads here in the west bank was put on hold, but that has been completely reversed by benjamin netanyahu. that decision was welcomed by many in the israeli settler movement. more than half live in the west bank. the un and many countries say all settlements are illegal and an obstacle to peace. something vehemently denied by the residents of efrat. in general, we have not stole it anyone's land. we are people, we go to work in the morning. we run businesses. we have professors at university. we are people of the book and not of the sword, and that is the way we would prefer to live. this war has been forced on us, we didn't choose it. 15,000 people live in this community, just across the valley from bethlehem. they say they have always had good relations with their arab neighbours, but october the 7th changed everything. i hope and belief other relations with our neighbours, the relationships will continue to be good. having said that, obviously, there is security concerns, because there is security concerns, because there were instances near the gaza strip of kibbutz where they had fantastic relationship with arabs working on the kibbutz and later discovered maps, describing the kibbutz village with the names of the family, how many people were living in each house. the people that live here are separated from their nearest a arab neighbours but a couple of hundred metre, a few farmsteads and a couple offences. the last month has seen a massive israeli security operation in the west bank. they have arrested more that 1400 palestinians, they claim most were kicked to hamas. just today, the palestinian authorities said 18 people had been killed, taking the total to 170 in the last month. it has been met with palestinian protest. both at the security crackdown, and the increasing death toll from israel's war in gaza. today, in bethlehem there was a general strike. this is a more peaceful and prosperous part of the west bank but there are areas where there have been direct conflict between community, in particular some groups of settlers have been accused of attacking palestinians, here one shoots a man if his leg. this is the long serving mayor, she say they from an extremist fringe who don't represent the community. now we understand there is a small group of extremist that do act violent reason and he understands these people need to be dealt with by the police, by the military service, by the secret service, and they should be trialled for what they should be trialled for what they do. the vast majority of people, jewish people who live here, 500,000 jewish people who live here deserve security, deserve to be treated like human beings, like law people who obey the law because that is nature of these communities, last night we had a meeting with the prime minister of all the mayors, there was a consensus of all the mayors, calling for the government to make sure that these extremists get arrested, get stopped, the quicker it happens, the less damage it will do to thejewish population and to the whole state of israel. because they are giving you a bad name? , , .., ., name? undisputed. i can agree with the bbc report _ name? undisputed. i can agree with the bbc report other _ name?

enforce. as he finishing his day's work, ahmed's concerns are more simple.s translation: ., ,. , translation: peace and security. come and go _ translation: peace and security. come and go with _

that is all. even before the events of 7th october the west bank was seeing a rise in violence, two communities who both feel a connection to this land, agreement was never going to be easy. it now seems further away earlier, i spoke with nathan tek, the deputy spokesperson at the us department of state, and started by asking him how confident he is that the daily four—hour military pauses to allow humanitarian aid, will actually happen we think this is a welcome announcement, and it's the outcome of a number of high level conversations that have been taking place, both at the president's level with his counterpart and at secretary blinken's level as well. we believe that these sorts of pauses are absolutely necessary in order to ensure that civilian life is protected, so that civilians can get to safety inside gaza. and so that, of course, humanitarian assistance can reach those who need it. now, i know there are a lot of questions about these sort of operational tactical details of what these pauses look like. and for that, i'm just going to have to defer to the israeli defense force. but as a matter of principle, we think this is a welcome announcement. we want to build on it, and it's something that we hope to see continue so that civilians can be protected. today, president macron, he also called for a cease fire. but anthony blinken has said that people are obliged to address the unacceptable result that that would bring about, ie, hamas would be left in position. is that really a given? is that really what would happen with a cease fire, that hamas would be left in position? i think that is the case. i think what a cease fire ultimately means is that israel would cease fire, but that hamas would continue its attacks, its rocket barrages, its terrorist plans on israeli civilians. and in fact, hamas has said so, publicly, that they intend to repeat
