Flying as a wheelchair user

We bring together some wheelchair users to share their experiences on flights.

A wheelchair user has described how he had to crawl off a plane at an airport in Sweden because no-one could help him disembark. We hear what some wheelchair users, including our Security Correspondent Frank Gardner, have experienced.

We hear about a new Alzheimer's drug that appears to slow the disease by a third. Our Health and Science Correspondent James Gallagher explains.

Serbian police say a boy behind the country's worst ever school shooting had made a list of fellow students he wanted to kill. We speak to our colleague with the BBC's Serbian Service in Belgrade.

People on social media are talking about a video that shows a passenger strangling an “aggressive” homeless man to death in a chokehold on a New York City subway. We hear what happened and about the reaction to the incident.
