on my mind. tiktok s owner, bytedance, said it: ..describing it as a significant violation of its own code of conduct. it said the employees who did it had misused their authority and no longer worked at the company. do you still use tiktok? i have to use it for work. i used to really enjoy using it forfun, like, i was on it for hours, i loved the videos, i learnt some fun cooking recipes and things like that, but now, ijust have a dummy phone that i use it for at work and i don t use it. cat meows spencer: now, what do you get if you cross a wheelchair with a segway? well, that s what one company has done and created a self balancing wheelchair that you steer by tilting your body weight. lara: not only can it be operated hands free, but it also allows users to go multi terrain across surfaces that most wheelchairs can t like woodland, sand or pebbles. and martin dougan s been putting it to the test on brighton beach.
martin: i ve been in a wheelchair for 13 years now, and that brings some day to day challenges. like pushing up and down kerbs, for example. thank you. 0r pushing with an ice cream cone in your hands. please don t fall. there s one obstacle almost all wheelchair users dread the beach. what may be someone s idea of paradise can be a real nightmare for us wheelchair folk. it s pretty much impossible for my chair to get through these pebbles. but one company has a high tech solution. cristian and matt both have spinal injuries which left them unable to walk. their company adapt ability combines technologies from chinese company segway ninebot and new zealand company 0meo technology

taxis, and that s pretty much the way i live my life. but i think for anybody who s got upper limb issues, it s easy to handle. and let s be honest, it looks pretty cool. but for me, it s a bit of fun and i ll be sticking to my manual wheelchair for now. brilliant. that was martin dougan out and about on brighton beach, and that is it from us, from the royal college of physicians. we shall be back next week. thanks for watching. see you. hello. the next six to ten days look fairly benign all thanks to high pressure, so i think that a lot of places will be dry but there will still be
