PHIL

Good morning! If you’ve got that Friday feeling and you’re expecting a review of the week’s news here on Colourful Radio, you’re in the right place. This is Phil Woodford welcoming you to episode 0437 of Five in the Eye, broadcast on DAB in London and the South East or streamed over the web and via apps.

MICHAEL

And this is me - Michael Ohajuru - joining Phil via Zoom and revealing that our top story is going to be Rishi Sunak’s Cabinet reshuffle, including the removal of Suella Braverman and the reintroduction of former Prime Minister David Cameron.

PHIL

And the government suffered a big defeat over its ‘stop the boats’ pledge this week, when the Supreme Court ruled that its Rwanda policy wasn’t lawful. The government’s solution? Change the law! That’s story number two.

MICHAEL

And what’s story number three this week? Well, developments in AI continue apace and there’s concern that the latest generation of artificial imagery is impossible to tell apart from reality. In fact, many people when tested think the artificial images are more real!

PHIL

For our fourth story, we discuss the classic cartoon series The Simpsons. For a while, it looked as if some of the comic-book violence was going to disappear. But latest reports suggest that it’s going to stay after all.

MICHAEL

And you know we can’t resist an ‘animal loose on a plane’ story here on Five in the Eye. The latest example was on a cargo flight from the US to Belgium, where a horse broke out of its stall!

PHIL

Didn’t he see the seatbelt sign was still on? And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye!
