We're on the move this week. As the government launches a new "inclusive" strategy to improve travel for disabled people, we talk to Minister Nusrat Ghani about what it means for blind and visually impaired people. With a pause called on the creation of so-called "shared spaces, new funding for transport staff training and more audio announcements on buses, we dig into the challenges of travel. And following on from Manchester Airport's assessment as "poor" in a Civil Aviation Assessment of the experiences of disabled people, we talk to Chief Operating Officer Tricia Williams about how she plans to put it right. And the health software company Epic Systems Corporation has already forged relationships with NHS trusts in the UK. But over in America it's facing legal action from the National Federation of the Blind over its technology, which they say is not taking screen readers into account - and putting blind people's jobs at risk. The Federation's Chris Danielsen tells us more. Presented by Peter White. Produced by Kevin Core.
