Available for over a year

More on the government's Welfare Reform Bill. We look at the changes to Disability Living Allowance and their impact on blind and partially sighted people. And Peter White and Cheryl Gabriel report from a Sightsavers camp in the Kaisut Desert in Kenya. They are trekking 100 km across the desert in searing 40 degree heat for this year's Comic Relief Campaign which aims to raise awareness of preventable eye diseases.
