• Desperate mother pulled out 11 of her own teeth after waiting for six years!

In Britain problems had increased following Covid and Brexit, which has led to many non UK-resident dentists returning to their home countries. Dentists argue that the low rates they receive from the National Health System, and contract requirements including financial penalties make it difficult to provide treatment in a financially viable way.

Experts describe the NHS dental system as 'unquestionably broken and completely unsatisfactory.' As a result, Daniele Watts, a desperate mother, 42, pulled out 11 of her own teeth after developing severe gum disease because she couldn't find a NHS dentist for six years and couldn't afford private care.

• ‘Longer Days and Longer Weekends plan’ is ready for the taking in Belgium

The Federal Government is discussing a proposal to shorten a full-time working week from five to four days in Belgium.

Singapore has trialled patrol robots that blast warnings at people engaging in “undesirable social behaviour”, adding to an arsenal of surveillance technology in the tightly controlled city-state. An autonomous robot named "Xavier" patrols a shopping and residential district during a three-week trial.

• French Church abuse scandal: 216,000 children were victims of clergy since 1950

Some 216,000 children - mostly boys - have been sexually abused by clergy in the French Catholic Church since 1950, a damning new inquiry has found. The inquiry found the number of children abused in France could rise to 330,000, when taking into account abuses committed by lay members of the Church, such as teachers at Catholic schools. Most cases assessed by the inquiry are thought to be too old to prosecute under French law.

The head of the inquiry said there were at least 2,900-3,200 abusers, and accused the Church of showing a "cruel indifference towards the victims". Pope Francis "felt pain" on hearing about the inquiry's finding, a Vatican statement said.
