looking for two gui accessible applications

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello friends,

I am wondering if there are good applications for downloading from 
youtube that works well with linux! I am looking for something similar 
to Ponte's media downloader which works well with windows screen 
readers. Is there such an app?

The second application I am hoping to find is a good weather app. I 
tried to the weather on the terminal and did not like it at all. So, I 
am hoping to find a better alternative that works on the gui.

Cheers,

Ibrahim
