veronica ryan is the oldest ever turner winner. power! visibility! the prize for innovation in contemporary art, awarded to a sculptor born in 1956 in montserrat in the caribbean who moved to the uk as a toddler. it is tremendous as an older artist to win a turner prize and be visible, and to send a message to young artists. you have to make your work because it is important to you. her sculptures often make reference to her caribbean childhood, mysterious works focused on seeds, fruit pits, pods, sometimes held in thread pouches crocheted by the artist. thejudges praised herfor poetic works, transforming items that are often lost or thrown away. has it been a struggle to get to 66 before the proper recognition started to come? yeah, i mean, it has been an incredible struggle. there were 20 years almost where no

one was paying attention to my work. but i think because i grew up in a family where recycled and you made use of things around you, i have always been, i think you just use what you have. before this prize, ryan was best known for the first permanent work in the uk honouring the windrush generation — her sculptures of caribbean fruit unveiled in east london last year. she beat three other artists to this year's prize. heather phillipson explored our relationship with nature in an eerie, apocalyptic world. nonbinary artist sin wai kin looked at issues of identity through a boy band in which the artist played all four members. and ingrid pollard examined racism in the uk, in part by looking at pubs named the black boy. artists are undervalued, i think, so this is a chance to get out there, to have a look

at what artists are doing now, to bring it to public attention and to really try to engage the public in debate about their response to the work. liverpool played host to the turner prize tonight for the first time in 15 years, a celebration of contemporary art in a city at the of british cultural life. katie razzall, bbc news, liverpool. some of you may well be aware that the met office has been issuing quite a few weather warnings today, to do with the cold weather. helen can tell us more. it's been a shock to the system, after how mild it has been. but aberdeenshire is starting to see some lying snow, that is the main risk in the north. it is cold for all of us. and there are widespread warnings out for icy patches in particular. the frost will be widespread. why? well, you can trace

our air right widespread. why? well, you can trace ourair right the widespread. why? well, you can trace our air right the way back into the arctic on these northerly winds. they are with us to stay, throwing snow showers across scotland, and aberdeenshire. a smattering of wintry showers elsewhere. it is the north where we see the most significant snowfall. but many places could see a smattering over the coming few days. it will be cold enough. warnings out for ice, anywhere where we have seen the showers and where the roads and pavements are damp, it will be icy as well in the coming few nights. the showers come through thick and fast overnight towards the north. there will be one or two micromole for northern ireland, perhaps western or eastern areas. anywhere they fall, it's going to turn icy with a widespread and pretty sharp frost as well. a really cold start tomorrow morning, scraping the ice of the cars. as i say, snow and ice are the main weather hazards if you are travelling. through the day, if you more showers through wales on the south—west, compared to northern ireland. more later in the day, turning to snow over the hills, the

north york moors and possibly lower levels as they drift down across scotland. tomorrow night, will use all the temperatures, it is going to drop like a stone. some flurries of snow further south. there could be a smattering inland. it is going to be another cold night tomorrow, another cold day on friday. plenty of sunshine around. but it gets colder still at the weekend, and that is because we pick up some freezing fog. so, if you want to keep up—to—date on what the temperatures are doing where you are, day and night, you can head to the app. we've been warned! and that's bbc news at ten on wednesday the 7th of december. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight which isjust getting under way on bbc two. there under way on bbc two. we have victoria derbyshirl just there we have victoria derbyshire, just opening the programme and meeting some of the guests. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are, but from the ten

team, it's goodnight. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sonia sodha of the observer and annabel denham of the institute of economic affairs, a free market think tank. we affairs, a free market think tank. will say hello to i moment. we will say hello to both and just a moment. first, let's take a look at the actual front pages. the daily mail leads on the wave of winter strikes and the latest news that airport border guards have announced walkouts. the daily telegraph also reports on the strikes, and also news from the bbc�*s director general that bbc terrestrial television and radio could be switched off by the end of the decade. the i reports that former health secretary matt hancock was forced out after local tories revolted against him. the ft leads on the relaxation of china's zero—covid controls as the government priorities change to focus on the economy. and despite objections, the building of the uk's first

coalmine in 30 years has been approved — that's in the guardian. the metro reports on the foiled plot to take over the german government by armed far—right extremists and the sun looks to the world cup match between france and england and reveals that french football star kylian mbappe has a second cousin living in leicester with the same name, who supports england. likes to get there. that evening to you both. thank you coming on. great to see it. we will stop at the big story today and what will be a big straight to from the front page of the daily mail. it's beginning to look a lot like a general strike is their headline. why don't you kick us off? 50. why don't you kick us off? 50, another why don't you kick us off? so, another set — why don't you kick us off? so, another set of _ why don't you kick us off? srr, another set of strikes why don't you kick us off? s57, another set of strikes has why don't you kick us off? s513, another set of strikes has been announced today in the run—up to christmas and for the festive period between christmas and new year. is

part of first guards working in some key airports around the uk, including gatwick and heathrow will be on strike for six days around the festive good... period from the 23rd to the 26th of december and the 28th through the 31st of december. it's not clear yet how much disruption this is going to cause, apparently the home office has been training members of its own staff to do the job of borderforce members of its own staff to do the job of border force guards and other paper is reporting that the army is planning on draughting some of its people all into the job instead. but i think there will definitely be some level of disruption and travel experts are warning that thousands of flights could be cancelled of the break. that's obviously going to affect families who have holidays booked and that's going to affect people who are travelling abroad to see their families, for example, people who are travelling abroad to see theirfamilies, for example, so it'sjust see theirfamilies, for example, so it's just another round of disruption on top of the disruption that's artie been announced. people will already be aware of rail,

postal service says, to the health service with nurses and ambulance drivers having voted to strike, and it all comes back down to these disputes over pay and the fact that many of these public—sector workers are facing real terms pay cuts, sometimes much more than you might see in the private sector, and, you know, it is very high inflation eating away at people's pay packets stop at the pcs union in relation to the part of our staff, december the 23rd through the 26th as the daily mail planed out to. annabelle, what do you make of this? imelt mail planed out to. annabelle, what do you make of this?— do you make of this? well i think if ou are do you make of this? well i think if you are to pick— do you make of this? well i think if you are to pick a — do you make of this? well i think if you are to pick a day _ do you make of this? well i think if you are to pick a day in _ do you make of this? well i think if you are to pick a day in december i do you make of this? well i think if| you are to pick a day in december at a random, _ you are to pick a day in december at a random, he — you are to pick a day in december at a random, he would probably find that there — a random, he would probably find that there is some strike action going _ that there is some strike action going on— that there is some strike action going on somewhere. sonia has pointed — going on somewhere. sonia has pointed out you've got rail, nurses, paramedics. — pointed out you've got rail, nurses, paramedics, even some charity workers — paramedics, even some charity workers that have announced a two week_ workers that have announced a two week strike, postal workers commits beginning _ week strike, postal workers commits beginning to feel like a general

including scientists and environmental campaigners, seems to be a move in exactly the wrong direction if you are looking to move the uk treads its net zero target in 2050. so also questions about what this call is going to the service. it steelmakers have moved away from relying on call because it's not quite right for their needs any more and they are looking to become greener. the government says that it would be used for exports, but to actually come if you look across the channel in europe, again, cole is very unfashionable. it's a very dirty source of energy, and lots of companies abroad as well have moved away from call. lots of steelmakers, european steelmakers, for example. so i think, it'sjust raising real questions. we absolutely should be investing in our energy infrastructure in this country, but we should be investing in green technologies and renewables, and low carbon. and this feels like a step in entirely the wrong direction in

terms of tackling this very big challenge which is how do we reduce c02 challenge which is how do we reduce co2 emissions to net there by 2050? and that is something we to do to contribute, to really giving us a chance as a planet and avoiding catastrophic climate change. the kind of climate change that will really affect future generations, great—grandchildren from their ability to inhabit the planet safely. ability to inhabit the planet safel . ~ ., ., ability to inhabit the planet safel .~ ., ., ability to inhabit the planet safel .~ .,., safely. we spoke to a local mayor, conservative _ safely. we spoke to a local mayor, conservative politician _ safely. we spoke to a local mayor, conservative politician welcoming l conservative politician welcoming that saying it was bringing in much needed jobs. that saying it was bringing in much needed jobs-— needed “obs. yes, it's expected to create needed jobs. yes, it's expected to create around _ needed jobs. yes, it's expected to create around 500 _ needed jobs. yes, it's expected to create around 500 new _ needed jobs. yes, it's expected to create around 500 new jobs, - needed jobs. yes, it's expected to | create around 500 new jobs, which create around 500 newjobs, which would _ create around 500 newjobs, which would he _ create around 500 newjobs, which would he a — create around 500 newjobs, which would be a boom to local areas, but this really— would be a boom to local areas, but this really goes to show the difficulty that this conservative government are indeed any government is going _ government are indeed any government is going to _ government are indeed any government is going to have in pursuing next year— is going to have in pursuing next year when — is going to have in pursuing next year when we are still dependent on dirtier— year when we are still dependent on dirtier forms of energy at least at the moment, and to many this will feel like _
