"there are a lot more important things than art in the world. but not to me". those are the words of the author and critic dame antonia susan duffy — known as as byatt — who has died at the age of 87. she won the booker prize in 1990 with possession, which told the story of love between two victorian poets uncovered by scholars in the modern age. in a statement, her publishers, penguin random house, said she was, "one of the most significant writers and critics of our time". in 2010, she spoke tojeremy paxman on a special show to mark 30 years of newsnight. let's take a listen. have a good weekend. goodnight. martin amis. and as byatt is still here. alsojoining us, musician jarvis cocker and the artist tracey emin. as byatt, a woman of 30 years ago, suddenly taken out and brought back now, would she think her lot had improved? 0n the whole, yes, you have been... concentrating on sort of sexuality and excessive. but work has changed for women immensely. and the thing i really minded about when i was a student, was that i was a woman and i was an object. 0k, nobody...looked at me. because i wasn't displayed. but i felt like an object. now, i don't. the thing i thought of when i was asked to come on this programme was i would put in a word about, please may we have some older women newsreaders on the bbc? i mind the uniformity of the smooth good looks of the women newsreaders. it is not the real world. world is full of all sorts of people. all sorts of any come on the screen and read things. sorry about that! well, i like to see them, but that kind of thing bothers you. there is a lot of speculation, they will take some time, they would take some time in israel before we know. one of the things that strikes me is when we at cia learned that saddam did not have the weapons of mass destruction that we judge him to have, that we believe that they had, it took us another year, six months to a year to figure out why we were wrong. it's going to take the end of combat, it's going to take a commission in israel before we really learn why they failed to the degree that they did in understanding what hamas was going to do on october seven. thank understanding what hamas was going to do on october seven.— to do on october seven. thank you very much — to do on october seven. thank you very much for— to do on october seven. thank you very much forjoining _ to do on october seven. thank you very much forjoining us. _ 0ur correspondent yogita limaye has been working with freelance journalist majdi fathi in gaza to tell the story of one family brought into al aqsa hospital in central gaza, including a young child who later died and a warning, there are distressing images from the start. monday in central gaza... shouting tuesday... he cries wednesday... thursday... and today, another airstrike, all in so—called safer areas, away arom the north where israel is conducting ground operations and had asked civilians to evacuate. this family was bombed in deir al—balah.

"we thought we'd come to a safe place "but no one is safe in gaza," ali says. these were four of thousands of gazans killed. "goodbye, my dear," his mother says, "you're with god now.

hostage, 65—year—old yehudit weiss. she too was found close to al—shifa according to the army. yehudit was a grandmother of five. her family has a message for benjamin netanyahu, the un and the red cross. such tragedies could have been avoided if we only had someone who really cared about all those kidnapped. bring them home now! there are about 240 hostages in gaza. their families and friends are marching towardsjerusalem, heading for the prime minister's office with one demand, bring them back, whatever it takes. the marchers have been on the move for days now. they want to keep their loved ones in the public eye. they want to keep up the pressure on the government. hopes have been raised of a deal that might bring some of the hostages home, but for now, all they have is the agony of waiting. i can't stop thinking about it. this is my days. these are my days. tagit zin has two much—loved nieces who are among the hostages. ella is eight and a keen dancer. 15—year—old daphna is

now, there's no deal and the hostages are at risk, notjust from hamas, but from israel's air strikes on gaza. 0rla guerin, bbc news, jerusalem. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. more than 100 people in the horn of africa have been killed in a devastating series flash floods. neighborhoods across kenya, somalia, and ethiopia remain

being drafted. a further 21,000 have tried but were caught by the ukrainian authorities — according to a bbc eye investigation. since russia's invasion, ukraine has banned men of fighting age from leaving the country, unless they have a valid exemption. zhanna bezpiatchuk has more on how some men are managing to escape with the help of corrupt officials. shouting. stopped by border police, the men are ordered on to their knees. for ukrainians without a military exemption, crossing the border illegally is the most popular way of escaping the draft. some get caught, but for much of this war, dozens of men have managed to flee this way every day. using freedom of information requests, bbc eye has established that the most common route out is over ukraine's border with moldova. in a refugee centre in moldova, we meet erik, a musician who is hoping to go to the us to be reunited with his family. he's arrived from ukraine on foot. translation: ijust looked at the map. i i heard rumours about where to go, took a risk, and it worked out. erik says he has a serious health condition, but wasn't granted a medical exemption, commonly known as a white ticket. translation: i tried to process the documents for six months, l but no—one allowed me to do it. my patience ran out and i decided to leave this way. we heard that some men are paying substantial bribes to obtain a white ticket. to find out more, we asked a local journalist to pretend to be a man who wants to leave ukraine. a quick search reveals at least six groups offering help on the messaging app telegram. 0ur undercover journalist contacts one of them and is soon offered a white ticket. officials at these centres work closely with military doctors to decide who can get a medical exemption. they sent me an example of this white ticket. for me, the document looks real. probably they know somebody in that office, so this is corruption. the bbc showed its findings to a senior politician from the ruling party. translation: we are doing our best to reduce the number— of corruption cases. those who try to avoid - mobilisation are about 1—5%. they are definitely not critical to the defence of ukraine. - ukraine doesn't release official figures on the size of its army, but says it has over 800,000 troops. as this conflict turns into a war of attrition, ukraine will need all the soldiers it can get.

interview a business woman out in california. again, sheila found in her business, she loved the skincare empire she is built. there are people that i think radiate in and of themselves some positivity on the screen and that's what i was looking for. first of all, i was looking for people who talk to me and give me that kind of time. there was an actor strike going on, that meant it was difficult to read some people. for series two we will reach out to perhaps more people in the theatre world. hugh bonneville who i performed with other people who were happy to play along. people who

country, but it was certainly a day of contrasts. fog lingered in some places, and that had quite an impact on the temperature, particularly in north—east scotland, with temperatures barely climbing above freezing by the middle part of the afternoon. it was a different story further south. some beautiful autumn sunshine to look out for, and we had over seven hours of sunshine in parts of kent. but the weather story is set to change once again as we head into the weekend, with this deep area of low pressure bringing some wet and windy weather with it. the isobars squeezing together, a blanket of clouds and rain pushing its way steadily east. so a spell of wet weather particularly across south—east england during the morning, slowly easing away to sunny spells and scattered showers into the afternoon. so certainly an improving picture across much of england and wales by saturday afternoon. mild with it 1a—15 degrees. a few scattered showers into northern england, more widespread through northern ireland and to scotland, accompanied by blustery winds, gales on exposed coasts here. but the temperatures certainly on the up in comparison to friday. double figures, we're looking at 9—12 degrees generally for scotland. now, as we move out of saturday into sunday our area of low pressure slowly drifts his way steadily eastward, so that means plenty of showers spiralling around that low and still strong winds. perhaps stronger winds down to the south. again a relatively mild start, 7—10 degrees, a blustery start in the morning. and that'll drive in plenty of showers from the west, so not everywhere will see those showers, but they are going to be fairly widespread. perhaps drier interludes for scotland and maybe central and southern england as we go through the afternoon. temperatures likely to peak once again between 9—11; degrees. now, through sunday evening into the early hours of monday, we mightjust have to keep a close eye on this little front here. we could see a spell of very wet and windy weather across south—west england for a time. once that clears the way, however, high pressure is going to build across central and southern england as we move further ahead into the week. so if you're after something a little drier, a little quieter, we will get that across england and wales. still the risk of some wet and windy weather at times further north and west. take care. hey, i'm zof with the catch up. tonight — everton in the relegation zone, more illness amongst young workers and a car park cat. but first, a man has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of irish teacher ashling murphy. the 23—year—old was jogging along a canal near tullamore last january, when 33—year—old joseph pushkar repeatedly stabbed her in the neck. ashling's killing cause widespread shock with vigils across ireland and the uk and pressure on the irish government to tackle violence against women. some other stories now. everton are in the relegation zone after being deducted ten points by the premier league, the biggest punishment in the competition's history. it's for breaking profit and sustainability rules. the club are going to appeal, though. next — millions of people are struggling with illnesses that get in the way of work. they include things like mental health issues or heart conditions. the problem's been growing to 16 to 3a—year—olds and now is likely to have a health issue affecting work as a middle aged person was a decade ago.
