2:50 pm
danielle's teeth, but without access to an nhs dentist, she had to take drastic action herself. i've extracted 13 of my own teeth. we first met last summer when danielle told me how she lived with pain every day and felt ashamed about how she looked, but she just couldn't find an nhs dentist. there are no dentists. i'd love to be able to ring a dentist up and say, "my teeth are falling out. i need help." but every time i do, it's like, "sorry we're not taking on nhs patients any more." private treatment would cost thousands of pounds — money danielle simply didn't have. she was at the end of her tether but then something amazing happened. i can smile. i don't have to hide anymore. you look amazing. you look very different. i mean, you can see it. you can absolutely see it. i do feel... it's almost like i feel tingly, buzzy. no pain, no abscesses, no infection.
2:51 pm
not being afraid, really. i can smile at people and not hide. following our report last year, one of danielle's friends suggested they try a fundraising website. and through the generosity of strangers, she was able to raise enough money to pay for private treatment and dentures — an act of charity that has transformed her life. to be able to talk to somebody face—on, to be able to smile at somebody, is something i haven't done for several years. there's more charity at work in danielle's hometown in suffolk. a group of volunteer dentists in one of seven vans that tour the whole of the uk have come to offer emergency care to those in pain. so the charity dentaid has come here to bury st edmunds because this is a town identified as being in a dental desert, where people really struggle to access nhs dentistry. now the charity itself was set up
2:52 pm
some years ago to provide dental care in developing countries. and yet here we are in england in 2023, in a seemingly prosperous town, and loads of people are just desperate for help. see increasing levels of demand. i think this is the fourth or fifth time we've been to this area and we do two days back—to—back and every day we're seeing between 30 and a0 patients a day, people getting here at seven in the morning, queuing. last time we were here, it was raining and people were just in the queue waiting in the rain. every single person we see is in pain, has had infections, broken teeth, problems that are affecting eating, speaking, functioning. so it's really, really affecting this area because of problems accessing dentists here. i've got a problem with wisdom teeth. i've had four children and this is worse. and for those who are here seeking help, relief from the pain can't come soon enough. it's probably been worse than anything i've ever experienced. so i'm very glad that this is here today.
2:53 pm
this week's been long enough because it'sjust... it's taken over my life. thank you very much. and for danielle, the fact she's had to rely on charity to get the help she needed brings mixed emotions. i feel very guilty as well as being incredibly grateful. cost of living crisis, everything. people still put their hands in their pockets and gave what they could. last year, our reporting on the plight of those like danielle revealed the extent of the shortage in nhs dentistry. later today, mps will question senior health officials and a government minister as part of a parliamentary inquiry. but people like danielle are still having to rely on the kindness of strangers to get help with crippling dental problems. fashion isn't known for being one of the most diverse industries but british vogue is trying to change that with their may issue. titled reframing fashion, the edition focuses on i9 disabled people in total

this woman. and so many different people, i guess it is changing perceptions and the stigma around disability and i hope that when it becomes available to everyone it is not going to become so unusual. harry belafonte, the singer and actor and tireless activist has died at the age of 96. hello there. it's been a very cold and frosty start for many of us, but dry with plenty of sunshine around away from the north of scotland, which has seen wintry showers. as we move through the second half of today it will remain quite chilly and it looks like the blue skies will be replaced by quite a lot of cloud. this cloud infilling across many areas. there will still be some sunny spells around, but it could be quite chilly and grey for some.
2:57 pm
we'll continue to see showers peppering northern and eastern scotland, eastern parts of england. these will be wintry, certainly over the high ground across scotland. temperature—wise, after that cold start, i think generally 7—11 or 12 degrees in the warmest spots in the south. as we move through tonight, it looks like many places will stay dry. a few wintry showers continuing across northern scotland, the northern isles. we'll see thicker cloud rolling into central and southern and western areas bringing some spots of light rain, so here less cold than it was the previous night, but still another cold night to come in northern england and certainly across scotland under the clear skies. temperatures below minus—five celsius in a few spots. so another cold, frosty start across northern scotland for wednesday. sunny spells, a few wintry showers continuing, but elsewhere it's less cold. there will be more cloud around, limited sunshine, a few spots of rain here and there, as well. again, temperatures range around seven to perhaps 12 degrees across more southern areas. but then we start to see some changes taking place as we move out of wednesday into thursday. this low pressure system with its weather fronts working its way in across the country brings
2:58 pm
thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain. more crucially, it's going to change the feel of the weather as milder air starts to push northwards across many areas, but still you can see northern scotland in the blue colours there. with weather fronts pushing into the cold air, we could see a spell of rain, sleet and snow, certainly over the mountains through thursday across scotland. further south, more weather fronts pushing in, bringing showery bursts of rain, some of which will be quite heavy in places later in the day. but those temperatures rising generally in the south, where we're up to 13 to 15 degrees. still another cold day, though, for northern scotland. as we move into friday that heavy rain clears into the near continent. then it's a day of rather cloudy weather, benign weather, i think, with one or two spots of rain or showers around. very mild airfor england, wales and also northern ireland. we're up to the mid—teens there, perhaps 16 degrees. still cold for northern scotland. it turns milder still into the weekend, but it's quite a mixed picture. quite a lot of cloud around. some heavy showers perhaps on saturday. given some sunshine, it will feel very mild indeed.
