Now to the US and a musician who got an amazing surprise after ordering a new amplifier for his guitar.

That's a TikTok video from Anthony Ferraro, a blind Paralympic athlete and content creator from New Jersey, unboxing the amp that had been sent to him by a firm in the UK.

Now, he'd ordered a regular piece of equipment from Victory Amps, but instead they chose to make what's thought to be the first ever amp with Braille on the buttons and dials.

Anthony spoke to my colleague Claire McDonald about that moment he first took it out of the box.

you've loved music all your life and you've been blind all your life.

Have you always had to rely on somebody else if you want some kind of nuance to help you with amplification and modification and all of that?

I'm reading this quote from you.

You said music was one of the only things that made me feel like I wasn't blind.

This is your access into a world that you can share, that you can excel at.

What difference will this make to you now?

The behaviour of this farmer's pet in a mountain village in Austria suggests cattle are significantly more intelligent than most of us assume.

Paul Henley spoke to Antonia Osuna Mascaro, a cognitive biologist at the University of Vienna School of Veterinary Medicine, who's been studying her.
