rishi sunak. also on the programme this lunchtime... as fighting rages around gaza's largest hospital, the world health organization says it's no longer working and the situation is perilous. environmentally friendly, but a public menace at times — why police are cracking down on electric motorbikes. and the football world gets ready to say goodbye to england and manchester united legend sir bobby charlton. good afternoon. the former prime minister david cameron has made a dramatic return to politics. he's been appointed foreign secretary as part of a major cabinet reshuffle by rishi sunak. he's been made a peer so he can take up the position. mr cameron says that while he has disagreed with "some individual decisions" made by sunak, he believes the pm is a strong and capable leader. mr cameron replaces james cleverly, who had been serving as foreign secretary. he was made home secretary this morning after suella braverman was sacked from that position. ms braverman�*sjob had been under pressure after she wrote a newspaper article last week, which was critical of the police and their handling of recent pro—palestinian protests. labour had accused her of "whipping up division" ahead of armistice weekend. let's go straight to downing street and our political correspondent ione wells. what a morning in politics, and news just a few moments ago of a cabinet resignation as well?— resignation as well? that's right, reshuffles are _ resignation as well? that's right, reshuffles are always _ resignation as well? that's right, reshuffles are always full - resignation as well? that's right, reshuffles are always full of - resignation as well? that's right, l reshuffles are always full of twists a nd reshuffles are always full of twists and turns, but this feels like a complete gear change this morning. first, the sacking of suella braverman, a key figure head all the right of the party. and then the bringing back of david cameron as foreign secretary, who, of course, resigned on this very doorstep back in 2016 after campaigning to remain in 2016 after campaigning to remain in the eu referendum. any of these decisions, on a normal day, would have proved controversial, potentially reignite divisions within the conservative party, to have on the same day has also no doubt triggered a fallout within the conservative party. but a massive change today in rishi sunak�*s top team. we know as well that the former environment secretary, therese coffey, has also left a sign that rishi sunak is gearing up for the next general election, with environmental issues also set to be key in that election. we will have the latest on what that means for rishi sunak, but here is iain watson first. these are not library pictures, this really is david cameron in downing street today. he's been given a seat in the lords and a seat at rishi sunak�*s cabinet table as the new foreign secretary. when he left office seven years ago, he promised this. i office seven years ago, he promised this. ., , u, this. i will do everything i can in future to help _ this. i will do everything i can in future to help this _ this. i will do everything i can in future to help this great -

morning? afternoon, that's right. the timing of this is really key. i l the timing of this is really key. i think it is both tactical and political as well. first, think it is both tactical and politicalas well. first, on think it is both tactical and political as well. first, on the practical side of things, suella braverman's position as home secretary was looking increasingly untenable after she defied rishi sunak, refused to make changes to some of her language around policing, particularly the policing of protests. clearly, if she was going to get sacked, that opens a vacancy at the top of government that needs to be filled, and it was felt by james cleverly, former foreign secretary, and another vacancy created there. that is how the moving parts have escalated this morning. there was a political reason too, we are expecting a general election next year. for months, the conservatives have lagged far behind in public opinion polls, british unit has been under pressure to shake things up and really turn things around for the party, both by his mps but also by voters. david cameron is seen as much more on the centre of the conservative party, to suella braverman. this big change today, potentially signalling the change of direction to the party that rishi sunak thinks may be necessary to try to win back electoral support. it's interesting, because on policy areas, david cameron has disagreed on a number of things compared to rishi sunak, whether it is cuts to the foreign aid budget or cuts to certain legs of hs2. it will be interesting to see how they work together in government. certainly labour are saying that rishi sunak cannot claim to represent change by bringing back a former conservative prime minister.— our home editor mark easton is here. for the new home secretary, this will be a busy week? ah, for the new home secretary, this will be a busy week?— will be a busy week? a bulging intro. wednesday _ will be a busy week? a bulging intro. wednesday is _ will be a busy week? a bulging intro. wednesday is the - will be a busy week? a bulging intro. wednesday is the rewind adjustment at the supreme court, the centrepiece of their policy to stop the boats. we will get a ruling on that. probably top of the pile, it will be the legacy over the row over the pro—palestinian processed we saw on saturday. downing street is understood to want him to immediately review police powers to ban such lodges and easier to arrest people to glorify terrorism. but this is not going to be straightforward. lowering the bar on when to ban protests will almost certainly lead to an immediate legal challenge, because there will be lawyers who claim it breaches a fundamental human right, the right to freedom of assembly and expression, as set out in the european convention of human rights and enshrined in uk law. on arrests, i think senior officers will say when and where to arrest individuals is an operational matter, and there is an operational matter, and there is always a risk that using snatch squads to pull people out who have some kind of dodgy placard could create public unrest itself. scotland yard are going through social media and their own surveillance pictures to identify people apparently committing hate crimes, foot it is really difficult to know exactly where the line is crossed. this is going to be quite a long process. the world health organization says gaza's main hospital is now no longerfunctioning. almost without power and running low on food and water, it says the situation in al shifa hospital is dire and perilous. a doctor there says more than 30 babies need to be moved from the site to egypt if they are going to survive. fighting is raging around the hospital in gaza city. israel says hamas has a command centre underneath the building but insists its not targeting the hospital itself. hamas is designated as a terror organisation by the uk government. our middle east correspondent tom bateman is injerusalem. this is a fast—moving situation and the humanitarian situation in the hospital is dire, says the un? yes. hospital is dire, says the un? yes, the bombardment _ hospital is dire, says the un? yes, the bombardment of _ hospital is dire, says the un? yes the bombardment of gaza continued overnight and into the morning, but it is on the ground where we are really seeing this focal point, this convergence of the war so far. in gaza city, around the major hospital there, al—shifa. it is extremely dangerous and treacherous situation. israel says it is continuing its operation to dislodge and destroy hamas. but in a sign, i think of the increasing international concern over this, we had jake sullivan, the white house international security adviser, cautioning israel over the weekend, saying he didn't want to see firefights in and around hospitals in which innocent civilians would be caught up. but it seems the risk of that is intensifying by the hour. just to warn you, there are some images in my report you may find distressing. more of gaza's wounded are rushed into the remaining hospitals. this is the south, supposedly safer. but there is no respite from the israeli bombardment. the war is closing in on the north, where the israeli army says it is all but encircling gaza city. at the main hospital, al—shifa, the world health organization calls the situation dire and perilous. with the power out, it says it's not functioning as a hospital any more. more than 30 newborn babies could die, say doctors, after they were moved out of incubators as the intensive care unit broke down. three premature babies died over the weekend, say staff, and the rest desperately need help. i'm afraid that we are going to lose all of these babies. we are feeling that we would like to move these babies to outside gaza, to egypt to keep them alive. the hospital is now the focal point of this war. israel says hamas is entrenched under it. the hospital says that is not true. the army released footage of soldiers with fuel and jerry cans to help power the generator is, but the staff say it would not be enough or even an hour. in israel, the vigils go on for nearly 240 hostages being held by hamas, including children and the elderly. 84—year—old elmer was taken in the attack that killed some 1200 people on october the 7th. her son spoke this morning at the israeli parliament. translation: mi; spoke this morning at the israeli parliament. translation: my mother has no time. — parliament. translation: my mother has no time, these _ parliament. translation: my mother has no time, these little _ parliament. translation: my mother has no time, these little children -
