you are watching bbc news. let's get more noise on efforts to restore power sharing in northern ireland. the bbc understands that the dup has ruled out the prospect of a deal before christmas. it has been boycotting stormont since early last year over a post—break to trade rules. the government was hoping to restore devolution before tuesday. colum eastwood is the leader of the sdlp and he gave me his reaction to reports of a delay in restoring power sharing. fits reports of a delay in restoring power sharing.— reports of a delay in restoring power sharing. reports of a delay in restoring ower sharint . �* , ., .,, ., ., power sharing. as far as we are all concerned — power sharing. as far as we are all concerned that _ power sharing. as far as we are all concerned that he _ power sharing. as far as we are all concerned that he was _ power sharing. as far as we are all concerned that he was almost - power sharing. as far as we are all| concerned that he was almost done and all it needs now is a decision from the dup. we have been waiting for nearly two years for a decision from the dup. they have got a lot out of these negotiations and is we have seen rising waiting lists in the nhs, public sector is out on strike because they haven't been

underfunded it is not adapts. time now for the _ underfunded it is not adapts. time now for the weather. _ hello. it was a cloudy and mild start to the day for many, there's hope of some sunshine coming through, particularly across the north. but as we head through the week, there will be further rain at times, there'll be some particularly windy weather mid week onwards and behind that it turns colder. so this is the weather front for today, introducing that cloud and rain across much of england, wales, more coming into the north west of scotland as well. but for the meantime, we've got the south—westerly winds, a fairly brisk south—westerly wind, keeping it mild, keeping it rather grey as well. the heavier rain, i think, arriving across parts of wales and north west england through into the afternoon. any brightness in the east limited, it's more likely across parts of scotland and northern ireland after a rather grey and drizzly start. but there's more rain waiting in the wings up in the north west of scotland and temperatures actually a little lower for scotland and northern ireland compared with the weekend. so, a little bit chillier. and a chillier night to come as that weather front slips southwards.
11:57 am
but not for england, wales and northern ireland. some really heavy rain for a time. some of these showers following into the north and west could be a little bit wintry over the hills. temperatures getting down to frost levels, at least in the glens of scotland. but we are then confronted with yet more rain as we go through the night and into tuesday morning. so that will take its time to clear from wales, from northern england, but should have cleared northern ireland and scotland by the morning and eventually it clears the far south and east into the afternoon. so most places will see some brightness, more than today, as we get through into tomorrow afternoon. but it's a chillier day. temperatures dipping away as the day goes on and these showers pestering the north and west will be falling as hail, some thunder and some sleet and snow, particularly on the hills. by wednesday, we're into a brisk west north—westerly wind and yet more cloud piles in. so after a chilly start and a bright start, the sunshine will disappear, mostlyjust light rain and drizzle in southern areas, but something a little bit more persistent coming to the north and west and with it bringing back some slightly milder air. 11 or 12 degrees celsius the high.
11:58 am
but that windy weather as this low pressure passes close to the north of scotland, giving us severe gale force winds. and as they come down from the northwest, introducing some cooler air to all parts by the end of thursday. not particularly cold, but cold enough for those wintry showers in the north to turn to snow even at lower levels, particularly by friday. as ever, you can keep up to date online.
