PHIL
Hello and a very warm welcome to this week’s edition of Five in the Eye, Colourful Radio’s weekly news review. Back in the hotseat after a week away, it’s Phil Woodford. Thanks so much to Kola Sonaike for standing in for me last week. So let’s get ready for episode 0323.
MICHAEL
Yes, we certainly have a lot of interesting stories on the agenda. This is Michael Ohajuru joining Phil by Zoom and revealing that our number one item is the cabinet reshuffle. Will Boris Johnson’s makeover of his top team make any difference the performance or perception of the government?
PHIL
And at number two, it’s former President Trump. Remember him? Top military officials were so worried about his erratic behaviour in the aftermath of last year’s election that they were worried that he could decide to launch nuclear weapons.
MICHAEL
For our third story, we talk about whether we should tax the rich more. It’s a policy that has been put back on the agenda by the appearance of US congresswoman Alexandria Orcasio-Cortez at the Met Gala with a dress that made a big statement.
PHIL
What’s at number four this week? We’re going to talk about the extraordinary spat over Covid vaccines between Boris Johnson, Chris Whitty, Laura Kuenssberg and… err… Nicki Minaj.
MICHAEL
And finally this week, to wrap up the show, we’re investigating the cows who are… wait for it… being taught to use the toilet.
PHIL
They’re not using mine! And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye!
