Today's video story: Theresa May has said proposed changes to social care funding in England will now include an "absolute limit" on the money people will have to pay. The prime minister denied claims of a U-turn, saying she was responding to "shameful" claims that people would be forced to sell their family home. Last week's Tory manifesto did not mention a cap but the PM said her plans still offered a long-term solution. But Labour and the Lib Dems said the policy was "in meltdown".
Focus of the day story: Reform is looming for the process that young transgender Australians and their families must currently follow to get access to stage 2 treatment for gender alignment. Full story - Lawyers Weekly
