On Wednesday, we reported on the lasting impact on Israelis, three years after the attacks by Hamas. Today, we report on life in Gaza, in the wake of the Israeli military offensive which has killed more than 70,000 people in the territory. We hear from Gazans and speak to our Gaza reporter. Workers are being paid a basic wage of just over $1 an hour to make official football shirts for some of the world's biggest clubs, BBC Sport can reveal. Our sports reporter explains. Canadian poet, essayist and translator Anne Carson has been awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature. In rather different literary news, influencer Alix Earle says she has never read a book from beginning to end. We speak to three bibliophiles for their reaction. Sources have told the BBC that some Premier League clubs were "astonished" by comments made by British Prime Minister Andy Burnham - appearing to downplay the verdict against Manchester City. Our football issues correspondent explains. Presenter: James Reynolds. (Photo: Palestinian children walk amid the rubble of buildings destroyed during the war, in Gaza City, October 7, 2026.
