i'm clive myrie. the top stories: there's been little progress in talks to end public sector strike action. the government says meetings with health unions were useful. the other side warns more work needs to be done. it was a very civil meeting. we did actually manage to talk about pay. we didn't get the tangible concessions that we might have hoped or that would enable us to call off the strikes later this week. the health secretary announces that the nhs is to buy up beds in care homes, to free space in hospitals in england. the body that represents the adult social care sector gave this response. and, frankly, i am so old that i have been through so many of these statements, so many times when we've been told it's a new start and that the whole system is going to be more integrated and betterfor citizens, and it never seems to materialise. prince harry accuses some in the royal family of being "complicit" in the suffering of his wife, meghan, as more tv interviews are broadcast. in brazil, the sec

in a moment, the bbc news at one with clive myrie, but now it�*s time for a look at the weather withd and northern ireland. by midweek change is afoot, we see this high to the south weakening and the front coming in from the north. that will eventually push out the very cold air from southernmost counties. it is a slow job though, some southern areas will still struggle with the cold, dense patches of fog around on wednesday. you can see generally across our map figures are returning closer to average values for the time of year. despite the fact by wednesday we will be picking up a north—westerly wind. even with a northerly wind we�*re still in relatively mild air as we look to the end of this week. today at one — the prime minister wants his independent ethics adviser to look into the tax affairs of the conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi. are your tax affairs a distraction for the party, mr zahawi? the bbc confirmed over the weekend that he paid a penalty to hmrc when he was chancellor for unpaid tax. integrity and accountability is really important to me. and clearly in thi
