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.
