later in the hour on bbc news... seventh tier horsham will look to reach the fa cup�*s second round for only the second time in their history. they face barnsley later. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. suella braverman, who was sacked yesterday as home secretary, has launched an all—out attack on the prime minister, accusing him of having manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver on key policies, saying he is incapable of doing so. in her letter to the prime minister, ms braverman warned rishi sunak that time was running out and told him that his plan is not working and he needs to change course urgently. let's go straight to westminster and our political editor, chris mason. it is quite a letter, chris. it really is quite a letter. when this was posted on social media about one hour ago, was posted on social media about one hourago, i printed it was posted on social media about one hour ago, i printed it out and with my highlighter pen, i thought i would highlight the key bits and i then realised i had pretty much highlighted the entire thing. it is dripping with derision about the prime minister. let me read you just a couple of words that struck me as i read the letter. betrayal, equivocation, 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. here is our deputy political editor vicki young. she was an outspoken home secretary who said she wasn't afraid to tell the truth no matter how uncomfortable, now suella braverman, sacked by rishi sunak, has launched a devastating personal attack on him. she says they did a deal, she supported his leadership bid on the condition he took specific steps to reduce immigration. in her letter, she rights, you have manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver on every single one of these key policies. eitheryour every single one of these key policies. either your distinctive style of governments means you are incapable of doing so or as i must surely conclude no, you never had any intention of keeping your promises —— government. ms braverman once said her dream and obsession was to see planes taking off to rwanda with illegal migrants on board. she says she came up with proposals to stop the european convention on human rights blocking the policy. in her letter, you ignored these arguments, you opted instead for wishful thinking as a comfort blanket to avoid having to make hard choices. this irresponsibility has wasted time and left the country in an impossible position. she also repeats her criticism of the pro—palestinian marches in london, saying moore should have been done to ban them. i regret to say that your response has been uncertain, weak and lacking in the qualities of leadership that this country needs. allies of the prime minister have rushed to his defence. . , , , , defence. cabinet reshuffle is

exactly ideal as they munch their tea in downing street tonight, not least because i think we can expect to hear more from suella braverman. now, she says in this letter that when she accepted the job of home secretary from the prime minister, she presented a list of conditions. and a document that she claims she handed over to downing street and that rishi sunak agreed to. i asked her —— i asked her team tonight, let's have a look at this document, and i was told that that was not for today, which suggests that they plan 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. number10 furthering damage on the prime minister. number 10 tonight, furthering damage on the prime minister. number10 tonight, in their own response, a spokesman saying rather acidly that the prime minister is committed to actions, not words. and as far as actions or the lack of them are concerned, the focus tomorrow here will switch to the supreme 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. suella braverman was very critical in her letter of the whole approach to this idea. it is a huge moment for the government tomorrow and i think we can expect, after the decision of the lawyers, further words from suella braverman. she will have more to say. the former home secretary is not going quietly. to say. the former home secretary is not going quietly-— not going quietly. chris mason with the latest

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. 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, chickenpox is a mild illness. but the wounds can become infected, with bacteria causing complications. in rare cases, it can cause brain swelling and be fatal. three—year—old leah spent nine days in hospital earlier this year after chickenpox complications. leah was really ill when she got chickenpox. she seemed fine, then went really downhill. she got sepsis, was treated for cellulitis, blue—lighted to the children's hospital. and she had two emergency services 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 at 12 and 18 months, to be combined with the mmrjab, into a single shot. it also wants an initial catch—up programme for older children. to prevent the mild brand of 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 uk—wide programme overfears 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 suggest 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. thank you. 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.

who moved to gaza a year ago are back in the uk, afterfleeing their home with only a small suitcase between them. emad abuaassi, his wife and four children arrived back last week. 0ur correspondent hywel griffith has been speaking to them. one step at a time — emad and his son ameer are still finding their bearings, a week after arriving in cardiff last week. it's a year since they moved blackpool for gaza, to be near emad's family. the children were settled and enjoying trips to the beach, until the conflict started. i remember i wasjust going to bed. i was just sat on my phone. and then the neighbour, he's banging on the door, we open it and he's saying, "run, the building in front of us is going to get bombed!" and we was asking why, and he said, "there's no time to talk. we just need to get out of here." they fled northern gaza with just a suitcase between six of them, heading south, to stay in a flat with 40 others. as they tried several times to cross over to egypt, ameer spoke about their journey. the north of gaza have been told to evacuate from there and come here. and now we're just here today waiting for the rafah crossing to open, inshallah. as british passport—holders they were eventually allowed to cross, leaving behind their new life and emad's family. this is the saddest moment i have been across in my whole life. when i left the border, i was looking behind me like that, just imagining — who's going to be alive, who's going to be dying after all this? i don't know who to pick. as i said before, everybody�*s life there is in danger. could be my mum passed away tomorrow, get attacked. my brother, my cousin, my neighbour, my friend, something that can just happen. allah, god, help everyone settle this problem. they came to cardiff as a friend lives here, but they need somewhere to live and for the children to learn. as soon as soon as we get settled, we can start to get into school and that. but it's kind of the most important thing right now, to get into school, so, yeah, we need to get a house. after the chaos of conflict, they are simply grateful to be alive, but not sure where their journey will take them next. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. the time is 6:17. our top story this evening: as the new team take their places around the cabinet table, the former home secretary suella braverman launches an all—out

more england withdrawals — real madrid starjude bellingham has got a shoulder problem. he'll play no part in their last two euro qualifiers. mcdonald's has fired 18 workers in the uk since a bbc investigation uncovered hundreds of allegations of harassment at the restaurant chain. the company's uk boss apologised unreservedly when he appeared before mps today. he said an investigation unit had been contacted by more than 400 people after the bbc found that workers as young as 17 were being groped and harassed almost routinely. 0ur employment correspondent zoe conway reports. mcdonald's does 100% have a problem with sexual harassment. it'sjust disgusting behaviour and it's meant to be a friendly environment and it's not. i would get really upset about going in to work. 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, alastair macrow, being summoned to parliament. these testimonies are truly, truly horrific. it's very hard to listen to, to be in charge of the business where some of these things have occurred. 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. it 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 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 great that people are becoming more aware, but it's really not great, 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. 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. storm debi has been wreaking havoc across all four nations of the uk — with flights cancelled, roads closed and thousands left without power. it's the fourth named storm of the winter so far. 0ur climate editorjustin rowlatt reports now on how artificial intelligence is being used to predict the weather more accurately than ever before. the weather is one of the most complex physical systems on earth. learning to forecast it accurately has transformed the way we live. it means we know what to wear in the morning, of course, but it also saves lives, by giving us warning of extreme weather like impending storms, floods and heatwaves. the problem is traditional weather forecasts involve vast amounts of data and use some of the biggest supercomputers in the world. so it starts with about 800 million observations coming in every day. so those are from satellites observing the earth, they're from sensors on aircraft or buoys in the ocean. we then use our models to select which are going to be the most important. these are then ingested into a physics model, which then makes a prediction for the next hours and days ahead. these models have been very successful, producing more and more accurate forecasts. ai takes a different approach. instead of trying to model how the world works, it learns how weather patterns evolve using historic data and bases its predictions on that, and it is getting very good. a new tool created by google deepmind now outperforms traditional medium range weather forecasts on virtually all measures. it uses much less computing power and can produce forecasts in under a minute rather than in hours. the main advantage of this ai approach is that it's extremely accurate. it learns from decades of data and is able to be more accurate than the industry gold standard. a second benefit of an ai model is that it's extremely fast to make prediction. it doesn't solve a complex equation, so it can make predictions extremely fast on a very small machine. the new tool called graph cast has proved particularly good at tracking big storms like hurricane lee, which hit the atlantic coast of the us and canada in september. the traditional forecast predicted its path six days ahead. ai gave nine days warning, giving communities more time to batten down the hatches. but ai will never totally replace traditional numerical weather forecasting systems, say its designers, because the historic data it bases its predictions on is generated by those models. justin rowlatt, bbc news. there were ceremonial gun salutes in honour of the king's 75th birthday earlier today, in london's

trying to work out where it's coming from. residents in 0magh, in county tyrone, have complained of a "persistent buzzing" sound which has left them unable to sleep for weeks, as our ireland correspondent chris page reports. there's a buzz around this town, but it's not to do with conventional nightlife. a hum is the subject of bafflement, some irritation and a little banter. so you've heard this hum? i've heard it, aye. what's it like? justa... he hums. you can hear it when you're laying in bed at night time. it's like a vibrating noise, real loud one, at night, about 12, 1 every night. does it keep you awake? not really now. but it did the first night. sort of used to it now. there are others who knew about the hum, but haven't heard it with their own ears. i haven't heard a thing. i don't know where it's coming from. bit of a mystery, huh? it is a mystery. is it causing a bit of talk around the town? would it be someone - snoring beside you maybe? you never know. they say it's annoying a lot of people, but never heard. maybe my hearing's bad. well, this area is said to be a hum hotspot, but the noise has been noticed across 0magh and the theories are growing. now, if you go into the meadows and you shout hello, you'll hear it over at the golf club. because there's an echo. right. so there could be acoustics at play here. there could. the local council says it's difficult to pinpoint the source of the sound. officials are considering whether to bring in specialist equipment or an expert company. for now, the 0magh hum is an unexplained phenomenon. officials

split. further north we expect more cloud and outbreaks of rain at times. we are already seeing rain easing from the south but we have an area of low pressure that will be slow moving through the night, sitting across parts of scotland, a couple of elephants associated with that. cloudy with patchy rain for parts of scotland, northern ireland, far north of england, further south across the uk a few showers but some drier clearer conditions as well. for most of us around 4—8, but could be a touch colder than that across parts northern scotland. a touch of frost for some. through the day tomorrow, and north — south split. we have cloud across scotland, into northern england and first thing ireland with some outbreaks of rain but it will brighten up a northern ireland and further south across england and wales it should be some sunshine. just one or two showers in the west. it will also brighten up across the far north of scotland for the likes of the northern isles, towards aberdeenshire as well. temperature is about 7—10 in the north but further south around 10-13.
