working long hours to restore power in all weathers. conditions yesterday were... pretty bad. horizontal snow, sleet. yeah, hale stones as well, so challenging for the guys, but as i say, today is a lot better. we'll make the most of the conditions today and get as much done as we can. how long do you think you'll be here for and your team? i think well into next week, maybe wednesday, thursday into next week. hopefully home in time for christmas. while the teams might be here for the long haul, they still hope to have all power restored by sunday. this power line runs from lerwick all the way up to the village of voe, and when these guys get it reconnected in a short while, it will bring 190 customers back online. customers like danny and annie, born prematurely and now just eight weeks old. their power on the island of whalsay has just been restored but it's been a difficult few days. my main worry was feeding the twins.

they are breast—fed twins and with no electricity, danny couldn't get his expressed milk, because i use a hospital pump that is run by mains power. but we did lots of hand pumping and he's managed to get milk. where the north sea meets the atlantic, shetland is used to rough conditions but even here, this level of disruption is unprecedented. kevin keane, bbc news, shetland. time for a look at the weather. here is ben rich. more snow for parts of scotland tomorrow. absolutely. there have been wintry showers in shetland tonight. further south we have the risk of disruptive snowfall tomorrow. it is already starting to show. this weather system approaching the western side of scotland will bring rain and sleet along the coast but snow in land, certainly given any elevation. a really cold night out there,

temperatures —12 likely in some spots as we start tomorrow. widespread frost and then this mix of rain, sleet and snow. snow certainly over high ground but it will come down to low levels if it gets heavy enough. there may even be some thunder and lightning mixing in. through the central belt we could see 5—10 centimetres of snow and that could cause some travel headaches. some of that wintry weather into the north of northern ireland, a few fog patches across the south—east of england, they will clear and for many there will be some sunshine tomorrow but it will still feel cold. —i in aberdeen the afternoon high, six in plymouth. friday night into saturday, this rain, sleet and health snow in parts of england, wales. some wintry showers elsewhere, also sunshine but the wind direction changing, a south—westerly wind and that will make it feel a little milder. a more

dramatic change on sunday with this frontal system pushing in from the west, bringing rain and milderair but it is not a nice as it is working into such a cold air that some of the rain will turn to snow, perhaps briefly quite a lot of snow in places. it will all become slushy and i see, all falling on cold services so could cause some disruption but then turning much milderfrom the disruption but then turning much milder from the south—west. reeta. thanks. and that's bbc news at ten on thursday the 15th of december. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with kirsty wark, which isjust getting under way on bbc two. 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. thank you, reeta, and welcome to bbc london.

this is bbc news, the headlines hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are writer and broadcaster mihir bose and sian griffiths, education editor at the sunday times. tomorrow's front pages. starting with. the yorkshire post leads with �*tories call for a rethink on nurses' wage deal�* as england, wales and northern ireland see the first strike by nurses in nhs history. �*still time to care' is the front of the metro, featuring a story of nurses who rushed across the picket line outside bristol royal infirmary to tend to a man who had collapsed. continuing with the nurses' strike, the i shifts its focus to the extreme pressures being put on ambulance trusts in england, with the north west ambulance service warning the public t to call the guardian also has the story, while also showing the faces of the four boys who died

after falling into a the daily star splashes a picture of harry and meghan on their wedding day as the second instalment of harry and meghan�*s documentary series was released on netflix. the daily mail shows a picture of the prince and princess of wales with their family, on a day in which they say the �*battle lines were drawn�*. so let's begin. mihirwhy mihir why don't you kisses off with the nurses strike which is the big story of the day. i suppose one of the question is is there going to be any kind of solution? is there a possibility of talks on this? that they could possibly avert this industrial action?— industrial action? that is the guardian story _ industrial action? that is the guardian story that - industrial action? that is the guardian story that there - industrial action? that is the guardian story that there is l guardian story that there is pressure from the on the tories for the government to hold talks. the

government has said this is an independent peer review body that is made the recommendations. and i think what we are seeing is the change from what used to take place in the old days. the nurses leader would've gone to number ten but you know there would have been long discussions through the night and some settlement reached. we have moved on from that. the nhs is running on different lines now. the nhs trusts are there and i think what the tories are worried about is there is a lot of public sympathy for the nurses and the public always hold the nurses in high regard. and the nhs is a body where the tories note that labour has the lead over it because labour set up the nhs. therefore they are worried in the situation in the post whether this will be an even greater damage to them and sunak needs to show some

leadership particularly with the weather we are getting. i think the government has to step in. sian you see it that way? _ government has to step in. sian you see it that way? not _ government has to step in. sian you see it that way? not long _ government has to step in. sian you see it that way? not long ago - government has to step in. sian you see it that way? not long ago we i see it that way? not long ago we were clapping the nurses on our front door during the pandemic. absolutely. they are really popular with the _ absolutely. they are really popular with the public. this is one of the first we _ with the public. this is one of the first we have had the real strikes already— first we have had the real strikes already but i think this is one of the big tests of public opinion over which _ the big tests of public opinion over which weight the public is going to spring _ which weight the public is going to spring. we will have a winter of discontent. actions being threatened by the _ discontent. actions being threatened by the teachers, paramedics and university— by the teachers, paramedics and university lecturers. i lots of strikes — university lecturers. i lots of strikes coming up. i think what will happen with the nurses would be a real test— happen with the nurses would be a real test of— happen with the nurses would be a real test of how some of the other strikes _ real test of how some of the other strikes and — real test of how some of the other strikes and disputes play i think it was interesting to see it then nurses— was interesting to see it then nurses on— nurses on the picket line. and see car drivers—

scottand~ — figure around 7% being offered in scottand~ i— figure around 7% being offered in scotland. i think i some of the other— scotland. i think i some of the other unions that the teachers in the union— other unions that the teachers in the union for instant think offers of 7% _ the union for instant think offers of 7% could be on the table as we go through— of 7% could be on the table as we go through the — of 7% could be on the table as we go through the winter. let's go with the metro they have papers of nurses on the saw a man who collapsed an incident and instinct came said the paper and they tended to the man. i see this estimate and example of how conflicted the nurses could be especially as they see someone in need right in front of them. {iii need right in front of them. of course, this shows the nurses and a wonderful light. that's a wonderful point. that nurses will always be carers and good people and always come to the aid of somebody who collapses in subzero temperatures and make sure that she got treatment and make sure that she got treatment and so on. and this further intensifies the pressure on the government to come in and take some

action. the real workers and so on, the people who are much more conflicted on that may be a bit more hostile as what they're doing. but the nurses who are so good and so karen, which the story highlights, increases the emotional pressure if you like, on what we should to help the people who help us most. look at the eye. they are focusing not so much on the nurses but ambulances. nhs crisis is put pressure on ambulance. every church in england has been put on the highest alert level. as there is a crisis being triggered. we are used to hearing the dire headlines about the ambulance service like length of waiting times. it is very depressing. waiting times. it is very depressing-— waiting times. it is very

during a showdown over his role in the royal family. during a showdown over his role in the royalfamily. what do during a showdown over his role in the royal family. what do you during a showdown over his role in the royalfamily. what do you make of it all? have you been watching the show? i of it all? have you been watching the show? ., . of it all? have you been watching the show? . . ., , of it all? have you been watching the show?— of it all? have you been watching the show? . . ., , ., ., the show? i watched a bit of it and the show? i watched a bit of it and the cli -s the show? i watched a bit of it and the clips that _ the show? i watched a bit of it and the clips that show _ the show? i watched a bit of it and the clips that show today. - the show? i watched a bit of it and the clips that show today. what i the show? i watched a bit of it and the clips that show today. what is | the clips that show today. what is revealing is a comment harry meade when he said the number two puts on a show than the man who is expected to rule. and therefore, what she was trying to say was that the number one, meaning william got upset because harriet was out playing him. i think this is a classic sibling rivalry. between brothers and family. we know about that it happens a lot. what it is doing is bringing it out. in a way, if his head had been the tutor times they would've had armies and somewhere to fight in itself. would've had armies and somewhere to fight in itself-— fight in itself. someone's head mi . ht fight in itself. someone's head might have _ fight in itself. someone's head might have been _ fight in itself. someone's head might have been chopped - fight in itself. someone's head might have been chopped off. fight in itself. someone's head might have been chopped off i | might have been chopped off i suppose conceivably. find
