facing nhs. and figures just released for hospital performance in england — give some context to that. they show that on average — each day last week — more than 1a,000 beds were taken up by patients who were medically fit for discharge , the highest so far this winter. of course, delays releasing patients means it's harder finding space for others.

when the bbc asked the department of health and social care about the pressures the nhs is facing, a spokesperson said... we have a special day of coverage about the nhs today on bbc news. we'll be live at the royal free hospital in north london talking to patients and staff inside one of the largest hospitals in the nhs. that's nhs live across the day on bbc iplayer, bbc sounds and follow our live page on the bbc news app. there is plenty more on the bbc news website as well on developments in munich. that is it for me. let's take a look at the weather.

hello. still plenty of cloud in the forecast over the coming days, but some who've stayed grey for the last week or so may have a better chance of a few cloud breaks as the weather pattern shifts.

some sleet or snow over the hills, but we may start to bring some clearer air off the continent later on, allowing more sunshine across east anglia and the southeast. and that should hopefully develop a bit more widely into next week. the details, of course, on the bbc weather app.
