Women's Prize for Fiction winner, Jurassic World, Sunderland musician Nadine Shah, The Future Library

Front Row announces and interviews the winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction, political songwriter Nadine Shah performs, and a library - opening in 100 years' time.

Front Row announces the winner of the 拢30,000 Women's Prize for Fiction, 2018, and talks to her about her winning novel.

Sunderland indie rocker and songwriter Nadine Shah performs live in the studio and talks to John about the importance of musicians taking a political stance.

Critic Rhianna Dhillon reviews the latest outing of the Jurassic Park franchise which sees the return of Chris Pratt and Dallas Bryce Howard.

A forest has been planted in Norway with a specific purpose, to supply paper for a library of books to be printed in 100 years' time. One writer every year - starting in 2014 with Margaret Atwood - is contributing a text to be held in trust, unread until the year 2114, when the Future Library will be published. Elif Shafak has just submitted her piece, handing over her manuscript in a ceremony in the young forest. Katie Paterson, the artist whose idea this is, explains her vision.
