"my four children, my four children," he says, "oh god, why did you leave me and die?" israel says it wants to destroy hamas. civilians, it says, are killed because hamas uses them as human shields. this is jabalia in northern gaza — hit three days running. israel defends its targeting vigorously, but it also knows that pictures like this every day make it harder for its allies to push back demands for a ceasefire. the boy is saying, "we didn't do anything wrong, we didn't do anything wrong." the un says 22 people sheltering in four of its schools were killed today. it isn't clear what hit this one injabalia. what is clear, from the evidence, and un statements, is that nowhere is safe in gaza. jeremy bowen, bbc news, southern israel. among those trapped in gaza are at least 30 children who are thought to make up the more than 200 hostages still being held by hamas. among the youngest are two sisters from the asher family — kidnapped together with their mother more than three weeks ago. their father yonnee has been speaking to our correspondentjon donnison. # happy birthday... two sisters — raz four and aviv, just two. a birthday sing song for their dad earlier this summer. but the girls, along with their mother, doron, are now hostages in gaza. and he is home alone. how can you hate a child? it's painful to see a child getting hurt anywhere in any situation. children needs to be off limits. i can't hate not even the children of my so—called enemies. yonnee wasn't with the girls when they were taken on october the 7th. they were along with their mum. they'd been staying with their grandma efrat for the holidays in the near us kibbutz. efrat was killed. i have two small children, fourand eight. i mean, i can't imagine what the last three weeks have been like. i seriously considered to offer myself instead of them in order to exchange specifically me in exchange to my family. how can i sleep when i don't know if they are cold or hot? but all yonnee can do is wait and tell their story. jon donnison, bbc news, in central israel. during this conflict, accusations of war crimes have been made against both sides. so what laws do apply here? our analysis editor ros atkins explains. there are calls for a ceasefire or a humanitarian pause in the israel—gaza war, and these are two different things. here's how the un defines a ceasefire as a suspension here's how. the un defines a ceasefire as a suspension of fighting agreed upon by the parties to a conflict. it's a negotiated agreement between two sides. and the un wants a ceasefire, as do many aid groups. they say one's needed to stop further civilian deaths in gaza. spain, russia, china, egypt, jordan, saudi arabia and other countries, as well as the pope, all agree. israel, though, says... the uk rejects a ceasefire, too. so does the us. but it has another idea. we do believe that humanitarian pauses could be of value. a humanitarian pause would mean a temporary halt to hostilities in specific places to allow aid into gaza. a pause is less formal and shorter than a ceasefire. right now, israel is saying no to both options. it continues to bomb gaza. hamas hasn't commented on either option. it continues to fire rockets into israel, and so the war continues. ijust want i just want to bring you ijust want to bring you some breaking news now. in new york, the disgraced cryptocurrency mogul sam bankman—fried has been found guilty of fraud and money laundering. he ran the crypto exchange ftx as well as an investment fund, alameda research. both went bankrupt last november, leading to their founder being arrested and put on trial for fraud and money—laundering. he now faces decades in prison. we'll have more on that in asia business report shortly. a woman in australia, accused of poisoning her former in—laws and two other people at a family lunch by serving them deadly mushrooms, has been charged with murder and attempted murder. erin patterson has always maintained her innocence and said she bought the mushrooms from a supermarket. sharon barbour reports. it's a story that's gripped australia, one that began with a lunch at this home in leongatha, near melbourne. it had been cooked up by erin patterson for her former husband's family. 0n the menu, beef wellington. but the recipe contained deadly, poisonous death cap mushrooms. both her former parents—in—law and their relative died. another was left critically ill. today's arrest is just the next step in what has been a complex and thorough investigation by homicide squad detectives. herformer husband, simon patterson, was invited to lunch, but he was unable to make it at the last minute. the police identified erin patterson as a suspect after she and her children appeared unharmed after lunch. today, the police searched her house with specially trained dogs to look for possible hidden electronic devices. speaking to reporters last week, ms patterson maintained her innocence. i'm devastated. i loved them. she's now been charged with three counts of murder and five counts of attempted murder. sharon barbour, bbc news. a memorial service has taken place for the former premier of china — one of the country's most senior politicians, who died suddenly last week at the age of 68. lee keqiang was once tipped to be china's future leader, but he lost out to president xi. his death has prompted an unusual outpouring of public grief. 0ur china correspondent stephen mcdonell reports. she sobs. the eve of li keqiang's memorial service started off peacefully where he grew up, with mourners paying their respects. but when people tried to speak positively about him... ..they were quickly interrupted by officials, saying "we should all move on". and yet they did want to talk. translation: when people had difficulties or hardships, - premier li went to the place to try to understand the situation, not like the current premier. he is a sycophant. but any criticism of china's leadership is very risky. so as you can see, we've had a bit of chaos here, with government officials trying to prevent this man from speaking. he's very keen, though, to give us his thoughts about li keqiang. and we have this woman here, sort of ordering the bloke, telling him to be quiet. and this just gives you an idea of the sensitivity of the situation. and with that, his interview forcibly came to an end. an hour away in a little village, the home of li keqiang's ancestors, it's more serene. this has also become a place of public mourning. that he was born into a simple farming community has added to the belief that he understood the struggles of ordinary people. a party member of 60 years said mr li was one of the country's best leaders ever. translation: i think he was actually - the best leader we've had. so, will it be hard to find another just as good in the future? translation: that depends how they perform. _ when his funeralfinally happened in beijing, it was modest and not carried live on chinese television. in the past, the deaths of popular leaders have led to political upheaval, so xi jinping will be wanting this time to pass quickly. back in mr li's home town, his service prompted an even tighter crackdown. hundreds of police, plain clothes officers and party volunteers were organised to block filming and be on the lookout for troublemakers. you wonder what li keqiang would make of this today. stephen mcdonell, bbc news, hefei. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. thousands of homes were left without power, hundreds of schools were closed and there was widespread travel disruption as storm ciaran swept across southern england and the channel islands. wind gusts of up to 100 miles an hour were recorded in places. clean—up operations are now under way. new analysis has found that the introduction of london's first clean air zone 15 years ago significantly improved air quality in the capital. researchers at the university of bath found that levels of particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide fell as a result of the scheme, but said solutions were needed to help reduce the burden on poorer drivers. the royal mint has begun producing a new set of coins inspired by britain's natural habitat. the first coins to be struck include the one pound featuring british bees, the 5 pence featuring an oak leaf, and the 50p featuring an atlantic salmon. the first of the new coins are expected to enter circulation at the end of the month. you're live with bbc news. the tech billionaire elon musk has said artificial intelligence will one day take away the need to work, and the biggest challenge for humans in the future will be how to find meaning in life. he made the comments speaking to rishi sunak at a special ai conference with world leaders at bletchley park. i'm joined now by louisa pilbeam in our newsroom. and you just tell us who was at the summit and what's been achieved?— achieved? this was the first summit of _ achieved? this was the first summit of its _ achieved? this was the first summit of its kind - achieved? this was the first | summit of its kind regarding achieved? this was the first i summit of its kind regarding ai technology. there were leaders from the us, the uk and china there, and this was a coming together at bletchley park, famous for its code breakers in the second world war. this is all about the future. as i said, there was this collaboration of world leaders. but china vice minister for technology was there, they were representatives from the us, the uk and on the whole, 28 countries around the world who came together. what was agreed was basically a responsible approach to ai. now, ai is about machines, robots that can do jobs versus humans. about machines, robots that can dojobs versus humans. in effect, another industrial revolution. and what was agreed was that there would be some responsibility — in effect, a catastrophic effect that these ministers from around the world agreed that al technology could have. so, they agreed that they would run models and tests on al technology before they ai technology before they agreed to making any of these things. any of these robots, any of these machines. they could change the world, they could change the world, they could be useful for warfare, they could send robots into on both —— cronbach. they can take anything from an office job to newsreaders. there will be a summit in six months — that was agreed in south korea — that will host a mini summit, and there will also be a summit in france. this is something that will continue more talks like this one at bletchley park. find this one at bletchley park. and this one at bletchley park. and this summit — this one at bletchley park. and this summit ended with the prime minister in conversation with the world's richest man. can you tell us about that? ah, can you tell us about that? very chatty conversation from the uk prime minister, sitting down and speaking to elon musk, who is of course the ceo of x, formerly known as twitter, leading the world in terms of social media. he is an entrepreneur and a boss of tesla, which has change the world of cars. they sat down. rishi sunak was asking questions and this conversation happened on stage. only technology industry experts were allowed to this event, so there were journalists from across the world, but they weren't allowed to ask any questions. it was very controlled and the footage that has emerged has actually been released. what you will see in a moment is a conversation between the uk prime minister and elon musk. but as i say, that was released by an number 10, so we had no part in editing or releasing any part. let's have a listen in. what would your observation be on al and the impact on labour markets and people'sjobs and how they should feel about that as they think about this? well, i think we are seeing the most disruptive force l in history here. we have for the first time — l we will have for the first time something that is smarterj than the smartest human. and that... i mean, it's hard to say exactly when that is, l but there will come a point where nojob is needed. i you can have a job if you want, you can have a job for- personal satisfaction, but the ai will be - able to do everything. so... i don't know if that makes people uncomfortable. . n-s... — rishi sunak laughs mind blowing stuff. it's fascinating, _ mind blowing stuff. it's fascinating, but - mind blowing stuff. it�*s fascinating, but also frightening.- fascinating, but also frightening. fascinating, but also friuuhtenin. ., ., ., let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. on friday, hong kong will become the first asian city to host the gay games. athletes from 45 countries are expected to participate in the sporting event. the games, which aim to promote diversity and equality through sport, are a cause for concern for some hong kong politicians. they say the games are a threat to security and traditional chinese values. relatives of the jailed iranian rights activist and nobel peace prize winner nargess mohammadi say she is being denied urgently needed medical treatment for refusing to wear a hijab. they say ms mohammadi is suffering from heart and lung conditions, but has been refused a hospital transfer. colombia's government says left—wing eln rebels were behind the kidnapping of the parents of the liverpool football star luis diaz on saturday. his mother has been released, but his father remains missing despite a huge search. a former gang member charged in connection with the death of the rapper tupac shakur has pleaded not guilty to murder in a court in las vegas. dwayne davis — who is known as kefe d — was arrested in september in connection with the 1996 murder. it's been more than 60 years since the beatles released their first single, but today, they've released another one. it's called "now and then" and based on demo vocals john lennon recorded in 1978 — with the song finally completed last year. let's have a listen. # now and then # i miss you # 0h, now and then # i want you to be there for me.# holly tessler, who teaches a masters on the beatles at liverpool university, told me what she made of the song. i think it's a really fitting and a really lovely way to mark this point of departure in the beatles' recorded music career. can you explain to us how this song came about, when it was written, how it was recorded and so on? sure. this is originally a john lennon song, and it was something he had written in that period when he and yoko had gotten back together again. so, if you listen to the lyrics on one level, they're very much about his life with yoko and their relationship, and at this point they're raising their son sean. and it's reallyjust this idea that, "i wouldn't be where i am without you now and without you then." but in a second level, you can sort of almost understand it as a message to paul mccartney as well. and certainly, if you think about it as crossing over space and time, i think it's a very poignant song. but in terms of the actual production, john recorded it on a demo recording cassette back in around 1977 or 1978, and it sat in a drawer for years and years. and then, in the �*90s, when the beatles were putting together the anthology project, yoko found this tape and gave it to paul and george and ringo and said, "if you want to work on it, by all means do." and that cassette had three songs on it — free as a bird, real love and now and then. and at the time, they got free as a bird and real love into the studio and got it into shape. they felt they could release a singles, but now and then, the quality wasn't quite good enough at the time and they decided not to release it. and paul mccartney has had it all these years, ever since. and now the technology that's emerged has enabled them to really isolatejohn�*s voice and bring it to the fore. and if you listen to the song, his voice is certainly the biggest and most prominent feature, and it really is quite haunting when you hear it. but that's how it came together. of course, the beatles has older fans, but also younger fans as well. what do you think this song will do to its legacy? i think what this song does in its release now is give fans in the 21st century the opportunity to really experience what it would have been like in the �*60s, to have a new beatles release, the opportunity to go into a record shop, for instance, and buy the single. and it also gives us a chance to say goodbye to the beatles in a more gentle way, in a way that in 1970, when they broke up, of course, they were four angry young men and they really weren't getting on. and what this song allows us to do is see through the eyes of 80—year—olds paul mccartney and ringo starr as they look back, especially as they're able to work with two of their friends who they've lost. and it really becomes a much more gentle and natural and organic ending to the beatles' recorded music career. so, i think in terms of their legacy, what this will do is help us to remember the beatles a little bit more fondly, especially at the end of it. that is it for the programme. thank you so much for watching newsday. hello there. storm ciaran brought some disruption and damage to the far south of england, and certainly through the channel, the channel islands bearing the brunt of the storm. friday, though, looks a lot quieter. we've seen the back of the storm now. it will remain quite blustery and we'll see sunshine and showers, but a lot more sunshine around than what we've had of late. there it is, storm ciaran continuing to fill and weaken in the north sea. it's still influencing our weather enough to bring us another blustery day, certainly across more northern and eastern areas. and it's here where we'll see most of the showers or longer spells of rain — northern, eastern scotland. elsewhere, sunny spells, scattered showers, the odd heavy, maybe thundery one, but we'll see some lengthy sunny spells around in places. but the winds quite fresh coming in from the west or the northwest. temperature—wise, generally be around 10—13 degrees, but it'll feel a bit chillier with the strength of the breeze. as we head through friday evening and overnight, we hold on to further showers across scotland. but elsewhere, lengthy, clear skies before the next frontal system starts to work its way from the southwest, bringing some rain, southwest england and wales, so temperatures recovering here. otherwise, it's pretty chilly elsewhere — low single figures. now, this feature once again will be impacting france in the biscay area more. it looks like, for england and wales. winds will be lighter, but the weather front could bring some very unwelcome rainfall. some of the rainfall could be quite heavy, so a wet morning saturday for large parts of england and wales. skies brightening up though across the south behind it, but a scattering of heavy, maybe thundery showers continuing here, with more of a breeze. far north of england, scotland, northern ireland having a pretty decent day — sunny spells, a few showers and generally temperatures in the low teens at best. that area of low pressure pushes through again, the low countries into the north sea. and then we're in a run of west—northwesterly winds, but we're in between weather systems on sunday. so, certainly part two of the weekend, at this stage, does look better. in fact, many central, southern and eastern parts of england and scotland will stay dry all day, with sunny spells continuing. most of the showers will be peppering western coasts, the odd heavier one. but at least there'll be plenty of sunshine around, temperatures 10—13 degrees. monday and tuesday next week look pretty decent with quite a bit of sunshine around, but thereafter, looks like it could turn a bit more unsettled once again. see you later. thejury is in for sam bankman—fried — and the verdict is guilty on all counts of fraud for the former head of the collapsed crypto exchange ftx. and — the australian prime minister heads to china this weekend in an apparent thaw in the frosty relations between canberra and beijing. hello and welcome to asia business report. i'm mariko 0i. our top story this hour begins in the us. in just the last hour, disgraced cryptocurrency mogul sam bankman—fried has been found guilty of fraud and money laundering. the former head of now—collapsed cryptocurrency exchange ftx was accused of a series of misdoings, including stealing as much as $10—million from his customers. erin delmore reports from new york. sam bankman—fried was a towering figure in crypto. a self—made entrepreneur who promised customers
