| |  | Iain McDowell 26 October 2023 | | | Hello. This morning attention is split between the US, as details emerge of a mass shooting in which at least 16 people have been killed, and the Middle East, where Israeli tanks entered Gaza overnight. We also look at how social media has become a disinformation battleground in the war. And read on to find out what artist David Shrigley has done with thousands of copies of The Da Vinci Code. | | | |
 Image: EPA-EFE 'Armed and dangerous' - Gunman at large after US mass shooting Hours after a mass shooting that's left at least 16 people dead and many more injured, hundreds of US police officers are searching for a gunman who's still on the loose in Lewiston, Maine. The city is on lockdown after the overnight attacks at a bowling alley and a restaurant, and people have been told to lock their doors and shelter where they are. One resident has told the BBC of the fear that's spread through the city: "I can't process this because it just seems so unimaginable." The suspect is 40-year-old Robert Card, a firearms instructor. "Card is considered armed and dangerous," an official told the press. Our live page will keep you updated on this story. | | | | | | | | | |
| Beating the wintertime blues In a few days' time you'll be winding your clocks back for winter. Some people relish the shorter days and the chance to curl up and get cosy but for others, like BBC weather presenter Derek Brockway, seasonal affective disorder or SAD sets in.

| | Israel sends tanks into Gaza for 'targeted raid' before invasion Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a televised speech last night to reiterate Israel's preparation for a full-scale ground invasion of Gaza but didn't put a timeframe on it. Now it appears to be a step closer, with tanks entering the northern end of the Strip overnight to target "numerous terrorist cells" before returning back over the border. With hospitals in Gaza overwhelmed and only taking emergency cases, EU leaders will meet later and are expected to call for a pause in the fighting to allow urgent humanitarian aid to be sent in. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

|  Image: PA Media 'I bought 6,000 copies of The Da Vinci Code and pulped the lot' Such a massive seller was Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code that there's a good chance you were one of the 80 million people with a copy on your bookshelf. A great deal of those ended up in charity shops and a few years ago an Oxfam store in Swansea refused to take any more. That sparked inspiration for the artist David Shrigley. He's used 6,000 copies of the conspiracy thriller to create unique editions of George Orwell's 1984 and is selling those for £495 each. But why - and which book might become the next pulped fiction? | | | | | |

| Israel says 'Hamas is doomed' and Labour 'tears itself apart' "Where is the hope amidst shared grief?" is the question posed by the Daily Express on its front page, which shows two moving images from Gaza and Israel. The i says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pressing ahead with a ground invasion but is being urged by the UK and others to "pause bombs to allow aid" into Gaza. The Times and the Daily Mail report on how the Middle East conflict has split the Labour Party, with Sir Keir Starmer facing a "major revolt by MPs" and four shadow ministers are on "resignation watch" over his "backing for Israel". See the rest of the front pages. | | | |
