MICHAEL
Good morning and a very warm welcome to episode 0362 of Five in the Eye. Yes, it’s our weekly news review show here on Colourful Radio and this is me - Michael Ohajuru - looking forward to looking back over stories that have caught our eye over the past seven days.
PHIL
And this is Phil Woodford joining Michael via Zoom this week and revealing that our top story is going to be the government’s policy of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda and - more specifically - Boris Johnson’ attack on lawyers who seek to defend those at risk of deportation.
MICHAEL
For our second story, there’s a former Google engineer who claims that an artificial intelligence developed by the tech giant has become ‘sentient’. Should we be worried?
PHIL
Meanwhile, Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer has told his shadow cabinet that they must stop calling him boring. We ask the question: just how boring can you be and still become Prime Minister? That’s story number three.
MICHAEL
And you may well ask wagwan at number four. Well, it’s the growth of Multicultural London English, which seems to be spreading beyond mandem and reaching the wider population.
PHIL
And finally this week, to wrap up the show, you really wouldn’t want to be a bodyguard for Russian president Vladimir Putin. One of their duties, according to reports, is collecting his poop when he travels abroad.
MICHAEL
They must put it in a POO TIN! And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye!
