11:11 pm
language is designed to win over all those labour frontbenchers who want a ceasefire right now. the labour leadership is very nervous, lots of conversations today and the reason they are nervous as they expect an snp amendment tomorrow calling for an immediate ceasefire. labour will be hoping it's amendment will knock out the snp won, but the snp are absolutely confident there amendment will be called because day three of voting or making speeches for the third party and the snp are party. thank you very much. —— the snp are third party. well, we've managed to sort our technical gremlins with conservative mp martin vickers, so let's return to our top story — suella braverman�*s blistering attack on prime minister rishi sunak and the judgement on the legality of the government's rwanda scheme due tomorrow morning. thank you, we have finally managed to get through to you. can ijust begin with suella braverman�*s letter, she said of rishi sunak he was lacking in qualities of

leadership, he had reneged on a deal he never had any intention of following his promises, incompetent or a liar. she didn't use the word liar, but one or the other, something has gone very badly wrong. what is your response to the tone of that letter and what suella braverman said? i that letter and what suella braverman said?— that letter and what suella braverman said? ~ , , braverman said? i think it is very unfortunate- _ braverman said? i think it is very unfortunate. the _ braverman said? i think it is very unfortunate. the reality - braverman said? i think it is very unfortunate. the reality is - braverman said? i think it is very unfortunate. the reality is quite l unfortunate. the reality is quite clearly that there was a breakdown of the working relationship between the prime minister and the home secretary which is extremely unfortunate, but what i find unforgivable from suella is the tone of her letter is actually damaging to every conservative candidate in next year's election. because unless we go into the election united behind rishi sunak, i'm afraid the chances of success are more remote than ever. , , ., ., chances of success are more remote than ever, , ., ., ., than ever. just on that point, what do ou than ever. just on that point, what do you think _ than ever. just on that point, what do you think the _ than ever. just on that point, what do you think the likelihood - than ever. just on that point, what do you think the likelihood is - than ever. just on that point, what do you think the likelihood is that l do you think the likelihood is that she will garner a lot of support around her or not, given the nature

11:14 pm
put the country and the position of the tories on immigration in a much weaker position. and she implies that if he doesn't agree to leave the echr and we know that the new home secretary is not minded either, then he risks a rebellion. would you join a rebellion over his adherence to the echr if it means less chance of deportation of migrants? weill. to the echr if it means less chance of deportation of migrants?- of deportation of migrants? well, i think what we _ of deportation of migrants? well, i think what we have _ of deportation of migrants? well, i think what we have got _ of deportation of migrants? well, i think what we have got to - of deportation of migrants? well, i think what we have got to bear - of deportation of migrants? well, i think what we have got to bear in l think what we have got to bear in mind is that the prime minister has already made very clear that nothing is off the table. and by that, i take it to mean that he is prepared as a last resort to remove the uk from the echr. i personally would support that in those circumstances. but if there are other options available, let's hearfrom them. i'm sure that the government does have a plan b, unlike what suella said in her letter, i'm sure there is a plan b. let's get the judgment tomorrow,
11:15 pm
let's hear the prime minister's response and if, as he has previously said, nothing is off the table and we have to take that route, i will be right behind him. thank you forjoining us, martin vickers. that's all from us tonight. victoria's here tomorrow. goodbye. rather unusual, actually, if the cabinet was not reset at that point. what i experienced this morning when i attended cabinet was a united cabinet. united, having got rid of suella braverman. this is what mel stride
11:16 pm
was talking about. this strong and united team is going to deliver... the new cabinet met today. new faces, old faces, and old new faces. but this rejig, including david cameron, is winding up some conservatives who say the party has moved on since the eu referendum. 2016 was a mark... should have been a line in the sand, saying we are going to move from that political consensus back towards the views of ordinary people. there was a sign of hope of that in 2019 but my fear about the reshuffle is it marks we have moved the other way. as for labour, you won't be surprised they are saying... suella braverman's letter is just the latest instalment in a tory psychodrama that has been playing out over the last 13 years. cabinet reshuffles sometimes go unnoticed — not this one. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster.
11:17 pm
around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news scientists advising the uk government have recommended that two doses of the chickenpox vaccine should be given to all children — at twelve and eighteen months of age. thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation says data from other countries suggests the vaccine would dramatically reduce the circulation of chickenpox, and prevent the most severe cases in children. figures released today 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 seven point seven per cent in the three months to september, compared with the same period a year ago. 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,
11:18 pm
since a review of his time at the bbc was launched. you're live with bbc news. tens of thousands packed a rally in washington on tuesday to support israel and to condemn anti—semitism in response to weeks of largely pro—palestinian demonstrations across a deeply divided united states. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbal reports from the rally. since the war began there have been rallies and the nations capital and a couple of weeks ago, tens of thousands of people turned out to support palestinians and today, tens of thousands of people around to support israel. thinking to the stage for lawmakers, including the speaker of the house, he was joined on stage by democrats who express their full support for israel, back to president biden�*s position on
11:19 pm
this as well. in front of the stage there are a lot of young jewish americans looking up posters of the israeli hostages held by hamas and the messages of the rally which was to bring the hostages home. some of of the hostages were also in attendance and giving speeches. many jewish american students are here as well to call out what they say is a rise in anti—semitism on some campuses across america. there was a full group of protesters and there was a small stand with other people but people are generally kept this rally very peaceful. live now to dc where i'm joined by ron halber, executive director of thejewish community relations council of the greater washington area and who attended the march. are you happy with the us
11:20 pm
governments response so far? yes. 290,000 people were attending the rally and is want to put that out there. i think most american jewish people and most americans in general are very supportive and shows that america stand strongly with israel in its pursuit to destroy hamas, defeat hamas and make sure it is no longer a threat to israel and the jewish sure it is no longer a threat to israel and thejewish people and stability for the middle east. as we've been reporting, the white house and pentagon say they have intelligence that hamas and palestinian islamicjihad are operating from and storing weapons in tunnels below hospitals, including gaza's largest, al—shifa. but president biden has also asked israeli forces to use �*less intrusive action�* around the hospitals.
11:21 pm
do you feel the us is starting to shift its support from israel? what you are seeing is all of us of the rally supporters of israel, nobody wants to see civilians hurt. every time you see a palestinian civilian hurt, like anybody else, we are heartbroken, but we understand that the reason why the civilians are dying is because hamas uses its people as cannon fodder. when you place your ammunition and your weapons and a kindergarten, nursery school, hospital, a mosque, that is me in the military has to, cannot come after them. it is an unfortunate reality that this is not
11:22 pm
a, hamas is using the palestinians as cannon fodder and the more palestinians that died, the better for the public relations. their own peoples deaths is just a pr stunt and israel has offered fuel that hamas and israel, as an effort to take the babies out and i think we would be very careful here when we understand there is a difference, this is a career and just war between those that are righteous and those that are evil. legal cases have been filed against israel by human rights groups at the international criminal court and via the un at the international court ofjustice. as a pro—israel legal historian, how do you assess the merits of these claims, and how can and should israel respond? responding to this as they are doing and trying to destroy hamas, there
11:23 pm
is no sovereign nation in the world that will accept the mass slaughter of their civilians and not go after the people who did. hamas does not get them to commit the terrorism that they did, decapitating babies, raping women, shooting parents. four ron, thank you very much forjoining us on the programme. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. president putin has pardoned the person convicted of the murder of the russian journalist, anna polit—kov—skaya. he was serving a twenty year sentence but signed a contract to serve with the russian army in ukraine. what if i told you that a new ai tool can now predict big meteorological events — like storms and hurricanes — with greater
11:24 pm
accuracy than traditional weather forecasts? 0ur climate editorjustin rowlatt has this report. 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
11:25 pm
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. that's all for now — stay with bbc news.
11:26 pm
hello. although our fairly changeable, unsettled spell of autumn weather continues through the remainder of the week, there will be some windows of drier weather, particularly on wednesday, across the southern half of the uk. so bright and breezy but cloudy and damp with outbreaks of rain at times across northern areas. all down to the fact that we've got a ridge of high pressure building in from the south, but low pressure with a couple of weather fronts drifting, particularly across parts of scotland. so through the day, wednesday, then we start with the cloud and the rain for much of central southern scotland, northern ireland, too. could even be a little bit of snow across the highest ground, the grampians highland as well. all sunshine though works for the northern isles towards caithness and sutherland into aberdeenshire later on in the day. temperatures here around 7 to 9 further south across england and wales should be dry and bright through much of the day. temperatures here 12 or 13 degrees, but we've still got this cloudier zone in between.
11:27 pm
any of that rain tending to fizzle away overnight into thursday. but the next area of rain starts to arrive from the south—west early on thursday. it's going to be quite a cold night. it could be a touch of frost, particularly across parts of scotland with the lighter winds and the clearing skies. right, through thursday then, a couple of areas of low pressure, this one bringing some rain to parts of southern england, another one moving into northern ireland, wales, as well later in the day. should stay mostly dry for parts of eastern scotland, north—east england too, and temperatures range between around about 8 to 12 for most of us. but we're in that colder air still up towards the northern isles, but there'll be some sunshine. moving through thursday night into friday and the front�*s clear away for a time. we've got an area of high pressure trying to nudge in from the south. so that means friday is probably our driest and brightest day of the week for most places. could be the odd shower around, but the cloud could well increase from the south—west ahead of the next area of low pressure, bringing some rain. so temperatures on friday around 7 to 12 degrees for most of us. still rather cool turns milder into the weekend, but it turns wetter and windier, too. low pressure moving in,
11:28 pm
lots of isobars on the map. so rain, but you can see the orange colours flooding across the uk. that shows that that much milder air is on the way. it's going be quite breezy with the breeze coming in from a south—westerly direction. so the next few days then we have got some rain around, particularly on thursday, drier as we head into friday for most of us. but then temperatures on the rise but wet and windy for the weekend. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour as newsday continues straight after hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk, i'm stephen sackur. the global economy has been hit by a series of unforeseen events — covid, russia's invasion of ukraine, the current sky—high tensions in the middle east, not to mention the impacts associated with long—term climate change. governments would like you to believe that poor economic performance, high inflation, low growth, rising inequality can be blamed on external factors. but is that true, or are the wrong economic levers being pulled ? well, my guest is former governor of the bank of england, mervyn king. does economic orthodoxy need rethinking?
