from Five in the Eye Hosted by Michael and Phil
PHIL Hello and a warm Colourful Radio welcome to Five in the Eye! It’s episode 0363 of our weekly news review show today and in London, this is Phil Woodford. MICHAEL And joining Phil via Zoom this week, it’s me - Michael Ohajuru - revealing that our top story is going to be the rail strikes that have disrupted services this week. Teachers, barristers and others are talking about following the RMT. Is this really going to be a Summer of Discontent? PHIL And for story number two, we catch up with the ongoing war in Ukraine. Moscow is reported to be using indiscriminate weapons, a British army chief says we have to be prepared to fight the Russians. Meanwhile a dangerous dispute has erupted involving NATO member Lithuania. MICHAEL What’s story number three this week? Well, as Emma Thompson is criticised for dressing up in a ‘fat suit’ to play a part, we ask whether actors should be more reflective of the parts they play. PHIL And our fourth story is the heartwarming news that a 12-year-old girl is taking over as drummer at Foo Fighters gig. MICHAEL And finally this week, to wrap up the five, it’s the decision last month in China that university students could pass their swimming proficiency tests… online! PHIL I have a sinking feeling. And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye! ++++
