Why Uber is being taken to court by a blind user who says he's had his journeys cancelled after he has told them he has a guide dog. During the outbreak of the Covid-19 what is happening to eye treatment? In the latest in our round-up of what's happening around the UK, we hear from Raymond Curran, Head of Ophthalmic Services for the Health and Social Care Board in Northern Ireland. Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge want your help to carry out a survey of how people are keeping themselves in trim during lockdown and hear what the problems are. It’s being organised online by Dr Dan Gordon, principal lecturer in Exercise Physiology and a former Paralympic cyclist. We find out exactly what he wants to know.
