E-scooters, audio description and gaming

The government has begun a trial of rental e-scooter schemes and any local authority can apply. What are the concerns for blind and visually impaired people and can anything be done about it? We speak to David Davies from Pacts, the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety, a charity which advises parliament on road safety issues. The charity Scope has done some research on which streaming platforms are the best when it comes to audio description. Why don't they all provide the same accessibility? And we speak to two blind gamers about the release of The Last of Us Part 2. It's been hailed as a game changer as it has sixty accessibility settings and a host of features which mean you can play it without seeing it. Steve Saylor and Sightless Kombat give us their reviews. Presenter: Peter White Producer: Louise Clarke-Rowbotham
