Our weekly collection of the happiest stories in the world. This week, the extraordinary difference a pioneering stem cell treatment has made to one of its patients, the man who saved a toddler as she fell from an apartment block in Italy. And, a chance to hear our politics correspondent, Rob Watson, like you've never heard him before.

This episode explored how AI is transforming assistive technology to expand accessibility for the disabled. We learned how modern AI enables advanced screen readers, speech recognition, facial/emotion detection and more. A case study on Be My Eyes showed how humans and AI can collaborate to give on-demand sight to the blind through video chat. While limitations remain, the future looks bright for AI to remove barriers, grant independence and empower the disabled.
