hello, i'm lucy grey. you're watching the context on bbc news. there is a crisis in dentistry in england as people queue for nhs appointments and the government sets out a new plan. a trip to the dentist often arises at a time when the need is greatest, but in parts of england, simply trying to find an appointment can be a near—impossible task. campaigners warn dental care in the country is in crisis with scenes like this — larges queues of people waiting to get an appointment at an nhs practice. dentists say it's not surprising. in greater manchester alone, there is only enough money to cover 60% of the population. the budget only goes as far as 6% access, so that's 40% who will not get access to nhs dentistry. but the government says a new recovery plan will tackle the issue with millions more appointments in the areas its needed most. the scheme�*s measures include

a £20,000 payment for 240 dentists to moved to underserved areas, "top—up payments" for dentists to take on new nhs patients and school visits to support tooth—brushing and offer children fluoride varnish treatments. let's go to our panel. with me if the deputy director of the centre right think tank onward adam hawkes be an author of cosmopolitan politics on some stack and lease. we will talk to you about the situation in the us in a minute but adam, what do you make of this is the government announced a new plan but there is criticism of it from the dental industry today? there was, and this is a sort of thing _ there was, and this is a sort of thing that— there was, and this is a sort of thing that people expect the government to take care of. when you say to _ government to take care of. when you say to people what are some of the things you — say to people what are some of the things you are for about, cannot get employment, and cannot get a gp or passport— employment, and cannot get a gp or passport back in time or a dentist appointment of the things that

her mother was in parliament today, actually to talk about promoting mindfulness in schools, not necessarily to enter around about transgender rights. but the row erupted after the prime minister made a kind ofjibe at the opposition leader keir starmer for u—turning, he said, on defining a woman. keir starmer hit back that that was not an appropriate type ofjibe to be making in the presence of a family member who is so recently bereaved. the prime minister has refused to apologise for that. it has caused a lot of controversy, a lot of people calling for that apology, including, we've heard tonight, brianna's father saying that the prime minister ought to apologise. now, we've also heard this evening that the prime minister has invited brianna's mum to a meeting with the technology secretary as well.

that meeting, we understand, it was suggested it could happen today, but it didn't happen today. we don't know exactly when or even if the family will agree to meet with the prime minister, but there are clearly questions there for rishi sunak in terms of his judgment at making a comment like this on a day like today so recently after the events that we've seen. what do you think, adam chris make a lot of criticism today for rishi sunak for what he said. there is a really important _ sunak for what he said. there is a really important debate _ sunak for what he said. there is a really important debate to - sunak for what he said. there is a really important debate to be - sunak for what he said. there is a really important debate to be had| really important debate to be had about _ really important debate to be had about transgender rights in the uk and i_ about transgender rights in the uk and i think— about transgender rights in the uk and i think there are moments when that debate is done well and in some sense _ that debate is done well and in some sense being done in a mature way. and i_ sense being done in a mature way. and i don't— sense being done in a mature way. and i don't think today was one of those moments with them is not really— those moments with them is not really good moment to be making jokes _ really good moment to be making jokes about this in prime minister guestions — jokes about this in prime minister questions and i think rishi sunak in

you shortly butjust for now let's take a break. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. african white—backed vultures, like chumley here, have declined by 90% in number in parts of africa, so jake has been part of an effort to move them. and he's off. and so has his dad graham, who's been running gauntlet birds of prey park near knutsford for nearly 30 years. i think these have just got something about them. i think they're unusual, but, you know, so many things that are unusual are beautiful. they've both been part of a multinational effort to move 163 vultures, including white—backs, from one part of south africa to another where they're safer. we thought it was our duty, really, to do it as we just love the birds so much, and we don't want... anything we can get involved with, anything we can help with, there's no hesitation, we're straight out. these birds are a vital part of the ecosystem in parts of africa,

helping other animals find carcasses to feed on. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. now it's time for the panel. we talk about the stories of the panel want to discuss and, adam, let's talk about your story, which is where it's going to be ok in australia to ghost your boss. yes. australia to ghost your boss. yes, this is a policy _ australia to ghost your boss. yes, this is a policy that _ australia to ghost your boss. yes, this is a policy that comes - australia to ghost your boss. use: this is a policy that comes up every now and again as each country decides it might be a good idea. so australia are now looking to introduce the right to switch off. so if your boss text you after 5pm or at any point outside working hours, then you were legally allowed not to respond to them and more than that, you can take them to court. you can take criminal charges against them if they do so or if they expect you to respond out of alice. , , , , ., ,.,

now. hello. well, is there snow on the way? the answer is yes — for some of us. but for most of us, it's going to be a case of sleet and probably heavy rain, and this is going to be happening really for the rest of the week. now, on the one hand, we have a weather front with mild weather spreading in from the southwest. on the other, there's cold air streaming in from the arctic, and that cold air is in place across more northern parts of the uk. and with this weather frontapproaching, riding into this colder air, we will see that awkward mix of rain, sleet and snow across more central parts of the uk. but that's still to come. in fact, the early hours across scotland and the north of england are clear and chilly. temperatures really will be tumbling away, whereas in the south—west of the country, that weather front approaching, mild southwesterlies. so temperatures here of around 11 degrees in plymouth. colder by the time we get to birmingham, it's three. and then from northern england northwards, it's a frost and we're expecting snow from morning onwards across parts of northern wales

and into the pennines, but really anywhere across this central swathe of the country could see some wet snow on the cars, on the grass. but we're going to focus on the amber warnings across northern wales and the pennines. so here widely could be ten to 15 centimetres, but across the higher routes, higher hills, as much as 20 to 25, so tricky conditions there across the transpennine roads through the course of thursday afternoon and into thursday evening. in the south, it's mild and it's wet. in fact, a spell of heavy rain is expected across southern england, could be as much as a0 millimetres here. and then this area of wintry weather moves northwards. and i think by the time we get to friday, strong winds developing across northern britain, a strong easterly here, quite cold, but the focal point for snow will be around more eastern parts of scotland. across the mountains, no doubt there'll be some blizzards,

but for the vast majority of us, it's way too mild for snow. it's ten degrees in hull, ten degrees in birmingham, 13 expected in london. so is it going to turn cold or mild? at the moment, if we look at the outlook for the rest of the week and into next week, it is going to stay generally on the mild side and often unsettled. bye— bye.
