letter so we can see there, it is with great sadness i have written to the prime minister to tender my resignation as minister for immigration. i cannot continue in my position when i have such strong disagreements with the direction of the government's policy on immigration. so this letter coming in injust the immigration. so this letter coming in in just the last few minutes. going to take a look at the first couple of sentences. he says, dear prime minister, it is with great sadness i write to tender my resignation as minister for immigration. i cannot continue in my position when i have such strong disagreements with the direction of the government's policy on immigration. as you know, i have been pushing for the strongest possible piece of emergency legislation to ensure that under the rwanda policy, we remove as many small boat arrivals as swiftly as possible. this is to generate the greatest deterrent effect. this stems from my family help position that the small boat crisis is a national emergency that is doing untold damage to our country. and the only way we will be able to stop the only way we will be able to stop the boats completely is by urgently introducing a major new deterrent. i have therefore consistently advocated for a clear piece of legislation that severely limits the opportunities for domestic and foreign courts to block or undermine the effectiveness of the policy. one of the great advantages of our unwritten constitution is the unfettered power of our sovereign parliament to create laws that is a power we must take full advantage of. the government has a responsibility to place a vital national interests above highly contested interpretations of international law. that is the first paragraph and the second paragraph of the resignation letter. paragraph three... in discussions on the proposed legislation you have moved towards my position for which i'm grateful. nevertheless, iam towards my position for which i'm grateful. nevertheless, i am unable to take the currently proposed legislation through the commons as i do not believe it provides us with the best possible chance of success. a bill of the kind you are proposing is a triumph of hope over experience. the stakes for the country are too high for us not to pursue stronger protections required to end the merry—go—round of legal challenges which are risk paralysing the scheme and negating its intended deterrent. so, a clear division within the governing conservative party. and the dividing lines on this issue laid down there by robert jenrick. immigration ministerfeels jenrick. immigration minister feels this jenrick. immigration ministerfeels this latest attempt with the rwanda policy simply doesn't go far enough. simply isn't strong enough and simply won't work as a deterrent and therefore, robertjenrick has therefore, robert jenrick has decided therefore, robertjenrick has decided that he has to resign. rishi sunak, the prime minister, has two main factions within his party at the moment. one presented by robert jenrick, fearing this legislation in their belief, doesn't go far enough. the other group within the conservative party saying that actually, their red lines would be any legislation that went any further and further disregarded norms of international law and international law bodies. so rishi sunak has tried to plough a policy line down the middle through the two of them. but that has meant that robertjenrick, his immigration minister has resigned feeling that this rwanda policy planned, this piece of legislation specifically doesn't remedy the problems in his eyes and doesn't go far enough to find a solution in his eyes. the way we learnt about this, it was unusual. there was a moment in a radio interview, which does happen from time to time, butjames cleverly, in the house of commons, was asked whether his immigration minister had resigned. and james cleverly said, it had been confirmed. at that point, we had not had any confirmation either from robertjenrick orfrom had any confirmation either from robertjenrick or from downing street. but we now have on social media, that letterfrom robert jenrick toasted to the prime minister explaining his reasons for resigning. —— posted. shall we look at what happened in the last hour or so on the floor of the house of commons, the moment we had the confirmation. i5 commons, the moment we had the confirmation-— confirmation. is the home of the safeguarding _ confirmation. is the home of the safeguarding minister _ confirmation. is the home of the safeguarding minister has -

immigration minister. a fairly unconventional moment in i immigration minister. a fairly | unconventional moment in the immigration minister. a fairly - unconventional moment in the house of commons, but the result is the result, robertjenrick has resigned, immigration minister. that has been confirmed, it was the line used by james cleverly. but from the letter we have from robertjenrick himself, we have from robertjenrick himself, we have from robertjenrick himself, we have a little bit more detail about the reasons behind this resignation. he said, i cannot continue in my position when i have such strong disagreements with the direction of the governments policy on immigration. as you know, i have been pushing for the strongest piece of emergency legislation to ensure that under the rwanda policy we remove as many small boat arrivals as swiftly as possible to generate the greatest deterrent effect. robertjenrick clearly feels that this current legislation doesn't go far enough. he says, i am unable to take the current legislation through the commons as i do not believe it provides us with the best possible chance of success. so clearly a challenge ahead for rishi sunak, the prime minister and his immigration plans. we will get plenty more reaction to this resignation of what it means for rishi sunak, what it means for the policy itself and what it means for the government ahead of an election next year. stay here for some updates on that. now to israel and gaza. israel says its troops have entered khan younis. that is where they believe hamas leaders could be. the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu has said earlier they are encircling the house of the top hamas leader. meanwhile, hospitals in gaza say they are overwhelmed of casualties. patients lying on bloodstained flows, heads of the united nations again calling for an immediate ceasefire, which we have heard consistently now. let's go live now to khan younis where we can speak to a plastic surgeon at nasser hospital. thank you for coming on the programme. how challenging all things there right now? i challenging all things there right now? . ., ., challenging all things there right now? ., ,. , now? i cannot describe the situation- _ now? i cannot describe the situation. our— now? i cannot describe the situation. our situation -
