A government deportation deal with France – designed to deter small boat crossings – has been beset by delays and legal challenges.    The first few migrants detained in Dover as part of the so-called one-in-one-out scheme were meant to be on a flight to France on Monday. That didn't happen.    And even when the first deportations do begin, there is a cap on the number of people who can be returned. So, what is the government trying to achieve?    Danny Shaw, former adviser to Yvette Cooper – who was home secretary until last week – explains what the policy is and how it should work. Niall is also joined by Sky's community correspondent, Lisa Holland, who is awaiting arrivals in France.  Producer: Natalie Ktena and Emily Hulme  Editor: Mike Bovill 

Sir Keir Starmer has only been prime minister for 16 months but already there are reports some Labour MPs want him out.   The details that have emerged about Peter Mandelson's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the Angela Rayner tax scandal and Labour's perceived lack of direction by some in the party have all put pressure on Sir Keir - with a growing number of MPs said to be feeling he has until May's local elections to turn things around.   It's the biggest threat to his leadership so far and a somewhat familiar name is reportedly preparing to try and replace him.   Allies of Andy Burnham – the “King in the North” who's currently the Mayor of Greater Manchester – have launched a new campaign group, Mainstream, calling on the government to introduce a wealth tax, nationalise utility companies and end the two-child benefit cap.   Who is Andy Burnham and how plausible is it that he could replace Sir Keir? How fragile is the prime minister's position and what would a Labour leadership election look like?    Niall Paterson is joined by Professor Robert Ford, professor of political science at the University of Manchester and a senior fellow at UK in a Changing Europe.  Producer: Natalie Ktena & Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill     

He may have described himself as a ‘fighter not a quitter', but even Peter Mandelson couldn't survive new and lurid revelations about his relationship with convicted paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. The ultimate political animal, Mandelson was no stranger to scandal – having twice been forced to resign from Tony Blair's Cabinet. But brought back into the Labour fold by Gordon Brown after a successful stint as European Commissioner, the former spin doctor went on to enjoy a career renaissance – which eventually took him to Washington as the UK's ambassador to the United States. However, Mandelson was summoned home from DC in disgrace, following the publication of a cache of embarrassing emails and other communications between himself and Epstein.  Was his downfall inevitable? And should Sir Keir Starmer have known better than to entrust one of the biggest diplomatic roles in the world to a man with a track record of self-destruction? Niall is joined by former ambassador and National Security Advisor, Lord Ricketts, and Sky News' former political editor, Adam Boulton. Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill 

More small boats, more asylum claims, more flags flying in town centres – the debate over immigration has never felt more polarised.   Sky News invited a live studio audience to put their questions and concerns to politicians from four of the main Westminster parties. So, what did they ask and are we any closer to a consensus on what anyone would do about both legal and illegal migration?   Niall Paterson is joined by debate host, Trevor Phillips, and audience member, Ryan Alexander, who asked the panel about the ethics of housing asylum seekers in hotels.   You can watch the debate in full here.  Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill  

Lachlan Murdoch has finally secured his place as his father Rupert's successor, following a long sibling battle for control over one of the highest-profile media groups in the world.  Under the deal, some of Rupert's other children – James Murdoch, Elisabeth Murdoch and Prudence MacLeod – will sell their personal holdings in Fox and News Corp, with each expected to receive about $1.1bn (£810m). A new family trust will be created to benefit Lachlan and his younger siblings, Grace and Chloe Murdoch.  Joining Niall Paterson to unravel the dispute – thought to have been one of the inspirations for the TV series Succession – are Paddy Manning, author of The Successor: The High-Stakes Life Of Lachlan Murdoch and our business correspondent, Paul Kelso.  Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill 

A group of scientists think they can geoengineer the Arctic's melting ice, thickening it by pumping freezing seawater onto the surface during the winter.  Geoengineering is the large-scale – and often experimental – manipulation of the environment in an attempt to slow down climate change. The question is, is it mad science? Or our last hope?    Science correspondent Thomas Moore has visited the Climate Repair Unit in Cambridge, where they're attempting to thicken Arctic ice. He joins Niall to explain the research and the controversies surrounding it.  Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Mike Bovill

Russian oil used to flow into Europe. Now, it's going to India and China instead.  So, could Donald Trump's latest tariff threat against those countries put a squeeze on Russia's economic pipeline and help bring an end to the war in Ukraine?  Despite the warm words and strong handshakes at their Alaskan summit, the Trump White House seems prepared to try new ways to hit Vladimir Putin in the pocket.  But has the failure of the western sanction regime to cripple the Russian economy shown India and China that Trump's trade war bark is worse than his bite?  On today's episode, Gareth Barlow speaks to Sky's economics and data editor Ed Conway about how the Russian energy landscape has changed and the potential impact on peace in Ukraine.   Producer: Emily Hulme  Editor: Mike Bovill

Children's exposure to online porn is higher than ever before. Will new laws designed to keep them safe finally make a difference or end up making matters worse?  Campaigner Ian Russell – whose daughter, Molly, took her own life at the age of 14 after being exposed to harmful content on social media – has criticised sites for still allowing a “tsunami” of inappropriate content to flood the feeds of young users.  Meanwhile, critics say the Online Safety Act has gone too far in curtailing democracy and freedom of speech.

Plus, free speech campaigner, Toby Young, argues that parents – rather than the state – should be responsible for what their children view online.  Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill

No evidence of bullying, misogyny or racism. On the face of it, good news for the Duke of Sussex. But there's still plenty of fallout from a very public row ignited by the woman still in charge of the charity set up by Harry in honour of his mother, that he's now walked away from.  Earlier this year, Sentebale's chair, Dr Sophie Chandauka, used an interview with Sky News' Trevor Phillips to accuse Harry of "harassment and bullying at scale". The prince strenuously denied those claims and has now been cleared by the Charity Commission, which found no evidence to back up Dr Chandauka's accusations. However, it did find the internal - yet very public - dispute at Sentebale "severely impacted the charity's reputation". So, what next for Harry and the charity that was once so close to his heart? Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's royal correspondent, Rhiannon Mills, to discuss the fallout. Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse Editor: Mike Bovill 

The "King Kong" of weight loss drugs, Mounjaro, should finally be available on the NHS. So, why are thousands of patients still waiting for a treatment that could transform their lives? Mounjaro was meant to be rolled out across the NHS in England from 23 June for those with the highest clinical need. However, a Sky News investigation has found it is only available in eight out of 42 NHS integrated care boards, prompting accusations of a "postcode lottery". Many providers will not make it available until autumn, while nearly half of NHS boards said they will cap the number of people they treat due to a lack of funding. Our science and medical correspondent, Thomas Moore, joins Niall Paterson on the Sky News Daily podcast as he investigates how the shortfall will cost the NHS and wider society. Gary, who weighs 25 stone (159kg) and has several obesity-related conditions, speaks to Thomas about the implications of being told Mounjaro is not available in his area. Producer: Emma-Rae Woodhouse and Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill 

 If you bought a car as far back as 2007 with a loan organised through your car dealership, you could be eligible for a payout.  The regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, is consulting on a compensation scheme - and it's thought up to 40% of motorists who entered personal contract purchase (PCP) or hire purchase agreements between 2007 and 2021 will be eligible for a payout.  Niall Paterson talks to Sky's business correspondent Gurpreet Narwan about who might be eligible.  He also speaks to Adrian Dally, director of motor finance at the Finance and Leasing Association, who argues the payout levels look too high at this stage.  Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Wendy Parker 

After doubling down in a very public row with Nigel Farage, Peter Kyle is the minister of the moment.  In an interview with Sky News, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology caused controversy by suggesting Mr Farage was "on the side" of sexual predators like Jimmy Savile because of his opposition to the Online Safety Act. Mr Farage described the comment as "disgusting " and demanded an apology.  But in a post on X, Mr Kyle went further, stating: "If you want to overturn the Online Safety Act you are on the side of predators. It is as simple as that." So, who is the man behind the politician? Peter Kyle's meteoric rise through the Labour ranks has come despite a life-long struggle with dyslexia, as well as dealing with the grief of the unexpected death of his partner. Niall Paterson speaks to chief political correspondent, Jon Craig, and the former Labour cabinet minister, Baroness Armstrong – who gave Mr Kyle his first job in politics. Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill

"Nobody's heard of it." That's Donald Trump's dismissive claim about Lesotho – a small country in southern Africa where lives are being devastated by the US president's decision. But what are the real-world consequences of Mr Trump's trade war? Trump's cuts to US foreign aid means people can't get access to HIV medication and costly tariffs is causing havoc to the economy – both of which are costing lives.  Sky News' Africa correspondent Yousra Elbagir has been to Lesotho to find out how decisions in Washington are hitting a country thousands of miles away.  Click here to hear more from Yousra, including how the deadly drug Kush is wreaking havoc in West Africa... and why it links to the UK: https://news.sky.com/story/kush-the-deadly-drug-wreaking-havoc-in-west-africa-13391966

She played a crucial role in helping the Lionesses win back-to-back European titles - somehow managing to play the entire tournament in Switzerland with a broken leg.   Shirts with her name on the back are amongst the most commonly worn by England fans, a testament to her contribution to the growth of the women's game.  On today's episode, Niall Paterson learns about Bronze's work ethic and the challenges she's overcome, with former teammate Lianne Sanderson and Sky News sports presenter Jacquie Beltrao.   Producers: Soila Apparicio and Emily Hulme Editor: Wendy Parker  

The doctors' union, the British Medical Association, is calling for a pay rise of 29.2% to reverse "pay erosion" since 2008/09.

Warning: This episode contains themes of racism and homophobia which listeners may find upsetting. No gays, no Jews, and definitely no non-whites. It's messaging that reminds us of a segregated United States – a time that apparently ended in the 1960s. But a community in Arkansas, called Return to the Land, wants to establish a whites-only town, and think they have the legal standing to do so.  The group says it's about freedom and community - but critics say it's “pure white supremacist rhetoric”.  Tom Cheshire, our data and forensics' correspondent, went to visit this whites-only community in Arkansas, and joins host Niall Paterson to tell him about the people he met. Niall also speaks to Dr Heidi Beirich, an expert on the American and European far-right, about Return to the Land's ideology, and why white nationalism is on the rise in the US. Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Philly Beaumont
