welcome to verified live. in the scathing letter she tells rishi sunak that his plan is not working. and accuses him of manifestly and repeatedly failing to deliver on key policies. she says his distinctive style of government means he is incapable of delivering. ms. braverman also accuses mr sunak of the betrayal of his promise to stop small boats crossing. let's cross live now to westminster and speak to our correspondent peter soul. it is a scathing letter to say the least, a number of times, what are the highlights? what is she trying to say here to the prime minister... trying to say here to the prime minister- - -_ trying to say here to the prime minister- - -— trying to say here to the prime minister... ,, . , ., , ., minister... she really does go quite ersonal minister... she really does go quite personal actually, _ minister. .. she really does go quite personal actually, i— minister... she really does go quite personal actually, i think _ minister... she really does go quite personal actually, i think against i personal actually, i think against the current prime minister. of course he sacked her as part of yesterday's reshuffle. this letter sent today, he did the sacking over the phone to swell ella braverman, but to kind of take you back to the context relate here, suella braverman. she had promised him her support at the time, there was the prospect that boris johnson was going to try and make a prospect that borisjohnson was going to try and make a comeback as prime minister. so she talks about this happening october 2022, there were certain conditions to her agreeing to give her support to him and with that the very different conservative mps who were backing her at the time. on various conditions, so she set up the different conditions, legal migration, also ignoring parts of the european convention on human rights, so that they could get the rwanda policy through the courts, delivering the northern ireland protocol bill and their existing form and timetable, so the suggestion there at the time, the government would have gone against, again, international court rulings on that. and also unequivocal statute guidance that protects biological sets, safeguards single—sex spaces. she sort of goes on to say she often brought up these promises and they were met with equivocation, disregard, and a lack of interest. she said he you've manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver on every single one of those key policies, and the big moment tomorrow on a policy that's suella braverman worked on, asylum—seekers that come across on small boats across the english channel to the uk, deporting them to rwanda for processing, that has been bogged down in the court for some time now, the supreme court will deliver its finaljudgment on that tomorrow. i'll read what she says here in this letter. "if we lose this court ruling, you will only be at square one. you said it would do whatever it takes. " that issue has been made one of his top priorities to stop the boat. where does this leave the prime minister? he may say he faced down suella braverman, despite all this noise from her he is managed to show a little political strength, but equally this is going to crack quite a few headlines. notjust today but well into tomorrow, i'd suggest. today but well into tomorrow, i'd su: est. ,, . today but well into tomorrow, i'd sunest, ,, . ,. , , suggest. she also describes the prime minister _ suggest. she also describes the prime minister as _ suggest. she also describes the prime minister as uncertain, . suggest. she also describes the . prime minister as uncertain, weak, and lacking in the qualities of leadership this country needs. the underlying message might be," i have the qualities needed". there may well be after a general election at the moment, the polls very much look like it will be labour that will form the next government, and off a lot can change between now and then. the changes that he's made over the past 2a hours bringing back david cameron to the top levels of government, signalling a pivotal sense of ground that will help in that regard, so ms. braverman says none of this will help, and the prime minister is not at all suited to the office. she concluded that she may well be herself. kind of getting ahead of myself here a little bit, there will be others on the right of the tory party who may feel they are better placed than suella braverman. the current business secretary and others no doubt will throw their names into the ring, too. the prime minister at the ring, too. the prime minister at the moment, this is more negative headline number really. conservative psychodrama, we talked in recent years the kind of infighting within the tory party, he spoke at the very outset of the cabinet meeting this morning, the prime minister, the importance of having a strong and united team. this letter here today, thatis united team. this letter here today, that is hardly a sign of unity. {lila that is hardly a sign of unity. 0k, peter, that is hardly a sign of unity. 0k, peter. thank _ that is hardly a sign of unity. 0k, peter, thank you _ that is hardly a sign of unity. 0k, peter, thank you very _ that is hardly a sign of unity. ok, peter, thank you very much indeed for that analysis. let's cross now live up to danny short, bbc�*s for merck affairs correspondent. she talks about certain conditions that she took on having accepted the job of home's equity, she talks about various things, including reducing illegal migration, stopping to boats, and also she goes on about the guidance in school, safeguarding single—sex spaces. there's a lot here in this letter that she has underlined the prime minister, she's not happy about it the direction the home—office was headed. about it the direction the home-office was headed. there's a lot we didn't _ home-office was headed. there's a lot we didn't know _ home-office was headed. there's a lot we didn't know about, - home-office was headed. there's a lot we didn't know about, we - home-office was headed. there's a lot we didn't know about, we didn'ti lot we didn't know about, we didn't know for example, there was some sort of specific guarantee, she says, when she took on the role of home secretary in october last year. about key policies, cutting illegal migration by reforming the student route. that's the road through which foreign students come into the uk, and reducing thresholds, reducing the number of people coming to the uk to work. she said there was an agreement that the european court of human rights and international law would be excluded from new laws to stop the boats. in other words, to make it easier to stop those channel crossings and remove people who have come to the uk through those routes. and she said that was all part of an agreement that was drawn up that rishi sunak hasn't stuck to that agreement. but i think what's particularly telling are the paragraphs in her letter, this venomous letter to rishi sunak, what's particularly telling are the paragraphs about the rwanda deal. we're expecting a ruling from the supreme court about ten o'clock tomorrow morning, we don't, no, and apart from the supreme court justices on the staff there nobody knows which way this ruling is going to go. she's saying that even if the government wins that ruling it's not going to go very well. this is the most damaging section really for the government, because if tomorrow the government, because if tomorrow the government wins that ruling in the supreme court, you would expect them to be absolutely triumphant about this. but suella braverman is basically saying, if we win because of what you insisted on in the illegal migration act, the government will struggle to deliver our rwanda partnership in the way the public expects. and she goes on to explain why that would be the case. ,, ~ to explain why that would be the case. , ~' ., to explain why that would be the case. ,, " ., ., " , to explain why that would be the case. ,, ~ ., ., ~ , , case. she kind of takes the sting out of it? absolutely. _ case. she kind of takes the sting out of it? absolutely. what -

saying, there will be many legal challenges, months of process and challenges, months of process and challenge and appeals, and also the ruling could leave the government vulnerable to being thwarted by the european court of human rights in strassburg. she also seems to be hinting, in her letter, that she is not really expecting the government to win. and if it loses, there is no credible plan b as she puts it. she says to rishi sunak, you failed to put in place any credible plan b if the government loses the ruling in the government loses the ruling in the uk supreme court. now we don't know what rishi sunak will say, i'm sure he will deny some of those allegations, some of those claims, but if there was any sort of honeymoon —like feeling, the reappointing of david cameron coming back into the cabinet, that is completely gone from this letter from suella braverman.- completely gone from this letter from suella braverman. thank you so much for your— from suella braverman. thank you so much for your analysis. _ around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. 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. new figures 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. a bbc investigation has found a black market trade in delivery app accounts that's allowing underage teenagers to sign up as riders. the home office has urged deliveroo, just eat and uber eats to reform policies that let riders lend their accounts to others without any identity checks. deliveroo says it has a "zero tolerance approach" towards ineligible riders. you're live with bbc news. the head of gaza's biggest hospital says a mass grave is being dug for nearly 180 people, after it ran out of fuel. fighting between the israeli military and hamas continues around the al—shifa hospital. that's prompted growing international concern — with president biden saying he wants �*less intrusive action�*. medical staff at al—shifa say the lives of 36 premature babies are hanging in the balance. this is an image of some — made public by the hospital on sunday. it said they had been placed on a bed after the fuel ran out, to power the generators to keep their incubators going. their current condition is not known — although a hospital spokesperson on monday said three of the original 39 babies had died. israel insists it is only targeting hamas, and that their command centre is in tunnels beneath the hospital. it has also released these images — which it says are of incubators which it is offering to supply to al shifa hospital. but there is no indication yet that the medical equipment has been delivered. and in another development — israel's army has confirmed the death of a female soldier who was being held hostage by hamas in gaza. i can talk now to our news correspondent nick beake. he is in jerusalem he is injerusalem for us, and come in it, bring us up—to—date with what has been happening today. well, marianne, throughout the - has been happening today. -ii marianne, throughout the day and need more news has been trickled out of the hospital, we hearing from one medic at the hospital that more than 200 bodies have been placed in this mass grave, and among the victims there, children. israel has said that there is a way for people inside the hospital to move out safely and begin theirjourney inside the hospital to move out safely and begin their journey to the south of gaza, because you remember, israelis have told people to move from the north to the south of gaza saying they will be in a safe place in the south of the country. but someone from the charity doctors without borders, they said one of their surgeons yesterday treated people for gunshot wounds, and they said that it was actually as a result of israeli fighters firing towards these people. there's no way that we can verify that claim. israel said it's not firing towards the possible buildings and it is not firing towards civilians. what is clear is that people within the hospital are extremely frightened, many of them simply don't want to chance it, they don't want to go outside the hospital and move away from, of course, a place where the fighting has been raging. meanwhile in terms of the hostage situation, lots of families of some of the estimated 240 hostages have become a march. they've set up from tel aviv and they are heading here tojerusalem, to the office of the prime minister, and there demanding that benjamin netanyahu does more to secure the release of their loved ones. there is a problem here, because benjamin netanyahu says the best way to secure the release of the hostages is to keep on the fight against hamas, that by killing more hamas operatives, that increases the likelihood of the hostages being a release. many of the family say that that's the wrong approach, that actually the priority should be go into gaza, make some sort of deal, remove their loved ones, and then at that point, the intensification of the assault against hamas can continue. so there is a really conflicting account here of what should be the strategy and all the while an extremely difficult time for those hostage families, too. nick, thank you very much, indeed. i'm very grateful to you for taking the time to speak to us here on the bbc. i've been reading what's been happening to you and i read that you've lost 21 members of your own family. thatjust sounds absolutely horrific. how are you feeling right now? it horrific. how are you feeling right now? , . , , horrific. how are you feeling right now? , ., . ., now? it is absolutely horrific, and unfortunately _ now? it is absolutely horrific, and unfortunately i _ now? it is absolutely horrific, and unfortunately i lost _ now? it is absolutely horrific, and unfortunately i lost 21 _ now? it is absolutely horrific, and unfortunately i lost 21 family - unfortunately i lost 21 family members only on the 22nd of october when israel bombed my home while my family were sleeping, and they were all killed. but after that i lost more and more and more relatives and friends, and actually lost count of how many people i have lost. so far i've lost my father, my two brothers, my three sisters, my 14 nieces and nephews who are under the age of 13. and many of my cousins, many of theirfamilies. age of 13. and many of my cousins, many of their families. it's very come of the situation is very dire, it is very severe. and worse than that, now i have only two remaining sisters who survived the bombing because they were one not at home. and today i was in contact with one of them, and she told me that they are starving. they don't have food, they don't have water, and today evenin they don't have water, and today even in the morning, israel bombed my sister's home, that was the only home that she had after israel bombed my home. and unfortunately people are running away from the north to the south of gaza strip were my family is, and israel is still bombing them, killing them in the south, in the north, while they were on their way, running from the bombing and from the shelling. every day we hear stories of loved ones who were killed brutally by the israeli army, everyday we hear about doctors we love, you have been curing us, who have been treating us, and they have been killed. only a few days ago, israel killed the father of my friend, my flatmate here in london, and he was one of the most prominent doctors in palestine. they killed him while he was trying to leave the hospital and run away to the south of gaza, he was 72 years old, he was one of the most prominent doctors and israel killed them. unfortunately every day we hear more and more stories, and the stories are not covered enough in the news. the stories are not covered enough in the new-— the stories are not covered enough in the news. ~ ., ., ., ., in the news. what do you hear about the hospital— in the news. what do you hear about the hospital situation? _ in the news. what do you hear about the hospital situation? because -
