PHIL:
Hello and a very warm welcome to episode 0434 of Five in the Eye - your weekly news review here on Colourful Radio. This is Phil Woodford in London. Michael’s away this week - too many commitments for Black History Month - but I’m delighted to welcome an old friend of the Eye who’s agreed to step in. It’s legal eagle and all-round good guy, ‘Judge’ Bob McAra. Hi there, Bob!
BOB:
Hi there Phil. Great to be back on Five in the Eye. And I can reveal our top story is about the laws surrounding war. Have Hamas committed war crimes? Have the Israelis? And just what obligations do jcountries have in times of conflict?
PHIL
Story number two is the news that a reality TV star is in discussions about becoming a Labour MP. Should we encourage people from non-traditional backgrounds to become politicians?
BOB
What’s story number three? Well, AI newsreaders are becoming all the rage. We ask Bard and ChatGPT about the pros and cons.
PHIL
At four, Cliff Richard - who’s even older than Michael - has a new calendar out. And it has a nautical flavour.
BOB
And, finally, a story from my. neck of the woods. Motorists are being encouraged to drive around with a bowl of water in the passenger seat.
PHIL
At least it doesn’t give advice on your driving! And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye!
