	Description:		From July 2019, all new electric vehicles will have sounds added to keep pedestrians safe. Transport minister Michael Ellis, gives us the government’s take. We also hear the thoughts of Jessica Schroder from the German national organisation for the blind. She tells us why she doesn’t think the new law goes far enough. When Ashley Cox needed help with his mental health, he went online to find a therapist. Eight of them said no straight away, because they felt uncomfortable working with a blind person. He eventually found one and is now doing well, but he doesn’t want anybody else to have a similar experience. Presenter: Lee Kumutat Producer: Emma Tracey
