Five in the Eye 0329
from Five in the Eye Hosted by Michael and Phil
MICHAEL Hello and welcome! You’re listening to Five in the Eye on Colourful Radio with me, Michael Ohajuru. This is episode 0329 of our weekly news review show. PHIL And joining Michael by Zoom this week, it’s Phil Woodford, revealing that our top story is going to be the crisis over carers. Increasingly, the money the state provides for people to buy in care doesn’t cover the costs. And even if the cash is there, it’s often impossible to find staff available to work. MICHAEL And for story number two, it’s the deal signed by our security services - MI5, MI6 and GCHQ - to store their top-secret info in the cloud… courtesy of Amazon! PHIL If you were lost up a mountain and someone was calling you, wouldn’t you gratefully answer? Well, apparently not if you didn’t recognise the number! That was extraordinary situation encountered by authorities in Colorado as they tried to rescue a hiker. That’s story number three. MICHAEL And for our fourth story this week, we ask whether BBC presenter Nick Robinson was within his rights to tell the Prime Minister to stop talking in an interview? The Culture Secretary is briefing that the decision could have cost the Beeb a lot of money! PHIL And finally this week, to wrap up the show, we don’t like to be morbid, but do you have plans for your final send-off? Well, Brenda Morris of Worcestershire decided recently that she would be escorted to the crematorium by Darth Vader and stormtroopers from Star Wars! MICHAEL May the farce be with you! And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye!
