Thank you @radioacademy!
There's not many things I'd get out of bed at 4am for every day, but radio is one of them. Forever grateful to be part of this industry.
Pretty proud of this one! 🥳
Next up...
Well done to @_AbiSimpson who has made this year's @reelworldeurope Radio Academy 30 Under 30! #RWRA30 🏆

Journalist Jasmine Oak became a victim of deepfake abuse when someone online used AI to alter photos from her social media to make her appear undressed - without her consent.
She's sharing her journey, alongside @Jess4Lowestoft, @narindertweets, @morty_but_nice and Cally Jane Beech, to explore the impact it has on victims - and how new powers are being used to tackle the issue at source.
But will it be enough?

“The more that we as women get abused, the more money they make.”
MP @Jess4Lowestoft says we need to see the “bigger picture” around deepfakes online, adding that platforms depend on material that create “hate and anger”.
Listen to everything Jess has to say on our Deepfaked investigation - Search Deepfaked on Youtube or the Rayo app 🔈

'There's this picture of you on the internet and you're fully nude'
Beauty influencer Cally Jane Beech was shocked to find out there were nude images of her online, because she'd never taken that kind of picture - it was a deepfake.
She went on to find that 'nudification' technology was easily accessible in the App Store. We spoke to Cally, an MP, a poet and a reality star as part of our investigation - to hear it search the Rayo app for 'Deepfaked'

'I'm so used to the abuse that it's normalised'
Advancements in AI means deepfakes are becoming easier to make, often ‘nudifying’ women or creating images where they’re engaging in sexual acts.
We spoke to five women, from a Love Islander to an MP who have all been victims of deepfake images about their experiences. You can hear the full conversation tomorrow morning.

Twenty years ago, the 7/7 London bombings happened. Sir Brian Paddick worked for the Met Police at the time - he told us what it was like on the day
Twenty years on from the deadly bombings in London on the 7th July 2005, we take a look back at how that day unfolded in this new documentary.
Take a listen ⬇️
The King's urging us to remember the 'extraordinary courage and compassion' in the face of the 7/7 London bombings, as Britain's top policeman warns we're still in 'difficult times' - 20 years on.
