yeah, this is huge. it's a really significant blow to government plans, notjust because stopping the boats is a key pledge but the government has put the rwanda plan at the centre of that. it was an absolutely central plank in their policy to tackle immigration. you might have, when you heard the supreme courtjudgment this morning, thought they might go, 0k, supreme courtjudgment this morning, thought they might go, ok, it's not working and we will change tack. absolutely not. we had from rishi sunak and the new home secretary james cleverly that they are sticking with the rwanda plan, effectively saying they will take what is currently a memorandum of understanding between the uk and rwanda and try to upgrade it to a treaty to address some of the concerns the supreme court raised. 0f concerns the supreme court raised. of course, that could take time and there was a lot of question bubbling around on the conservative backbenchers about whether or not that'll be enough. some tory mps want stronger action from the government, talking about withdrawing from international conventions now. james cleverly, the new home secretary, a dress that, saying we will not put forward proposals simply to manufacture an unnecessary row for short—term political gain. interesting language from him. the prime minister has left the door open to looking again at domestic laws and international relationships. the big question is whether what they have said will be enough to satisfy his own backbenchers, let alone get this rwanda policy off the ground. bile}. rwanda policy off the ground. alex fors h, rwanda policy off the ground. alex forsyth. thank _ rwanda policy off the ground. alex forsyth, thank you. _ joining me now is our home editor mark easton. where does this ruling leave the government and its promise to "stop the boats"? iam i am told there was a collective sense of shock inside the home office when thejudgment sense of shock inside the home office when the judgment was read. office when the judgment was read. it was one thing to lose the case, the argument that there were shortcomings in rwanda's asylum system but the supreme court was so critical of the country's human rights abuses that it makes the plan b, the idea of a treaty that addresses the court concerns, extremely good if not impossible. there are not many answers for the home office. perhaps the only thing they can hold onto is the principle of sending people to a safe third country remains. but getting flights to rwanda will not happen before an election. getting flights to another country will not happen soon. simply leaving the european convention on human rights, the court made clear that would not be enough. the illegal migration act, the centrepiece of their migration policy is basically a busted flush now because it was based on the idea we would send people to rwanda. former home secretary suella braverman, in her letter to rishi sunak after he sacked her, said the prime minister had no plan b. welcome the prime minister, as you say, has promised to stop the boats. frankly if he thought rwanda was the way to do that, he has a huge problem on his hands.- way to do that, he has a huge problem on his hands. home editor mark easton. _ problem on his hands. home editor mark easton, thank— problem on his hands. home editor mark easton, thank you. _ inflation has fallen sharply to its lowest level in two years. official figures show the rate at which prices are rising was 4.6% in the year to october. in november last year it was 10.7%. after that the prime minister pledged to halve the rate and rishi sunak says today's figure means he has delivered on his pledge. labour say it's not the time for the government to be "popping champagne corks." 0ur chief economics correspondent dharshini david has more. it's the very factor that turned up the heat on inflation, wholesale gas prices, which caused it to drop last month after a cut in the domestic energy price cap. news to warm the chancellor's heart. there's lots more work to do. we still have to bring inflation down to its target level of 2%. but now we are beginning to win the battle against inflation. we can move to the next part of our economic plan, which is the long term growth of the british economy. here at the treasury, they'll be cheering the fact that inflation fell to 4.6%, allowing the government to say its pledge to halve that rate this year has been met. but it still means many items are getting more expensive and the work to bring down that inflation rate hasn't happened so much here...as here. the independent bank of england raising interest rates 14 times, increasing mortgage repayments by over £10 billion, so dampening spending and prices of non—essentials. and even more of the action has happened away from here, on global commodity prices, determining energy, food costs, wherever those may hail from. across the country in milford haven in pembrokeshire, many of those higher costs are still leaving a bitter aftertaste. food costs 10% more than a year ago. eating out is almost 8% dearer. with everything going up, with a rise of the gas, electric, it's just really hard. we're getting by, to be honest. its customers, too, are still feeling the squeeze, with many prices still climbing. it doesn't feel like things have come down. a lot of things have gone up, car insurance, the council tax. we're going through a lot more gas and electricity, even though we're trying to use less. we're reducing the amount of time that we might have the heat- on, if we put it on at all. there may not be much more relief soon. bills are not as high as they were last winter by some significant margin, particularly when you take into account government support. but compared to what people were paying two, three, four years ago, it will still feel a lot higher. well, of course, it's welcome that inflation has come down from record highs. but the truth is, during the course of this parliament, the cost of living crisis has hit hard for working families. last month may have served up lower inflation, but prices are still rising faster than in many other rich countries and outpacing many people's incomes. conquering this cost of living crisis isn't quite in the bag yet. and dharshini is here now. inflation down quite sharply. how much of a relief is it? tiara inflation down quite sharply. how much of a relief is it?— much of a relief is it? two things to consider- _ much of a relief is it? two things to consider. first _ much of a relief is it? two things to consider. first of _ much of a relief is it?

what is mean for the cost of borrowing, those interest rates? starting with incomes, the average pay rise in the last few months, this is the good news, overtaking that rate of inflation, so some people are feeling the relief. not everyone. and remember too, this is a deep—seated cost of living crisis, it has gone on a couple of years and over that time food prices are up nearly 30%. energy up by almost 50%. only a few can say their incomes have kept up with that. but with inflation now slipping somewhat, there are expectations among columnists that interest rates could start forming, perhaps around the middle of next year. if you are looking to remortgage, take out a new loan, that's the news you will be looking out for. at the same time it will mean less relief for the savers out there, although i should say in the last few hours it has been confirmed that for the first time in a long time you are seeing interest rates starting to outstrip the rate of inflation, you are getting a bit more of a return. but there is a price to the interest rates that have been used down inflation because that tends to squeeze on spending and growth. another one of the government's pledges to grow the economy now hangs in the balance. what will the chancellor do about that? tune in for next week's autumn statement and we might have some answers. dharshini david, thank you. israeli troops have raided the biggest hospital in gaza, in what they've described as "a precise and targeted" military operation against hamas. israel says the al shifa hospital compound conceals an underground command centre used by hamas — a claim doctors there deny. tanks entered the al shifa hospital complex in the middle of the night, and soldiers searched the site, interrogating patients and medical staff. hamas is designated a terrorist organisation by the uk. live now to our middle east correspondent yolande knell in jerusalem. for days of fighting had been closing in around al—shifa hospital in gaza city. then in the dead of night israeli forces entered. this hospital has been such a focus of operations and last night the white house came out for the first time and said its own intelligence corroborated israeli claims that the site is being used by hamas for military purposes. this lunchtime the israeli military says it has found weapons and what it calls a terror infrastructure at the hospital, without giving more details. amid smoke, a glimpse at conditions inside the shifa hospital. with power cuts due to the lack of fuel, patients are being moved. we can't verify when this footage, which comes from gaza's hamas—run health ministry, was filmed. but overnight, israel began what it said was a precise and targeted operation at gaza's biggest hospital. a witness described six tanks and dozens of commandos moving in here. since taking control here, israeli forces say they've brought in baby food and medical supplies. they're searching the hospital where they believe there's an underground tunnel network used as a hamas command centre. hamas and medics deny that. the military insists there's been no friction with hospital staff. israel is at war with hamas, not with the civilians in gaza. the idf forces include medical teams and arabic speakers who have undergone specified training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment. and arriving from egypt today for the first time since the war started, a delivery of diesel. this after the un said yesterday it had to stop its aid distribution in gaza due to the lack of fuel. but still supplies cannot enter for hospitals to run gaza's power for hospitals, to run gaza's power plant or water pumping stations. for now, rain, which had begun falling heavily, is a much needed water source. but it's also a grim reminder of how, with the onset of winter, humanitarian conditions here look set to worsen. yolanda knell, bbc news, jerusalem. 0ur gaza correspondent rushdi abualoufjoins us from khan younis in gaza. what's the latest situation, as you understand it, at the al shifa hospital now? i was speaking to a source inside the hospital at half an hour ago and he said since the operation started soldiers are still interrogating people and going room to room. he said he saw about 200 people taken out of the hospital after interrogation inside, they were taken by the soldiers outside. he said an additional seven or eight tanks were sent to the hospital and hundreds of soldiers are inside the buildings. their searching and investigating not only with the medical teams but he said he saw soldiers talking to patients and some of those who were injured in the recent war. they were also questioned by the israeli officers inside the hospital. he saw soldiers moving old people, giving them the interrogation. he said that there was some shooting from the soldiers as people in the upper floors were trying to film from the windows so there w
