TV and Radio on Ö÷²¥´óÐã iPlayer - RNIB sue Bmibaby for having inaccessible website and more

Linda Debrah | 09:50 UK time, Wednesday, 1 February 2012

On this weeks' In Touch programme, low cost airline Bmibaby are being sued by the RNIB for their website's lacck of accessibility for blind customers.

The airline say they are taking steps to improve the situation and are offering customers the option of a low cost phone number until problems with the website are resolved.

Hugh Huddy from the Royal National Institute of Blind People wants website designers to make sites accessible from the start so that blind and partially-sighted people are not excluded from booking flights as and when they choose.

Plus Bristol's M Shed museum wins an award for a money saving initiative to make information accessible.
