Can Donald Trump stay out of any escalation? And what does it mean for the UK?    To get in touch or to share questions, email theworld@sky.uk 

  A boat carrying Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists with aid for Gaza was intercepted by Israeli forces overnight.    The Madleen was operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition and had set off from Sicily over a week ago with the aim of breaking the Israeli naval blockade of the Gaza.   It was intercepted by Israeli forces overnight and the country's defence minister has said everyone who was on board will have to watch footage of the 7 October attacks by Hamas on Israel, before they return to their home countries.   On today's Sky News Daily, Darren McCaffrey speaks to Middle East correspondent Ali Bunkall about what Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists might have achieved.  Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Wendy Parker 

 The chancellor presents the spending review next week where she will outline how the budget will be divided for government departments between 2026 and 2029. Rachel Reeves says she has an extra £113bn of capital to play with.    But with so many promises and projects dependent on the cash, how does she decide who will win and who will lose?    On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky News' deputy political editor, Sam Coates, who has used AI to predict how the chancellor might spend the cash. Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Rosie Gillot   

The Home Office says the doubling of good weather days this year compared to the start of 2024 "coincides with small boat arrivals being 46% higher" - but research by Sky's Data and Forensics team shows a rise in crossings during bad weather as well.    On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky News' political correspondent Ali Fortescue and senior data journalist Daniel Dunford to assess what the new data tells us about how well the government's plans to tackle small boat crossings are working and what they've learnt about how the smuggling gangs are adapting.  Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Wendy Parker 

The prime minister has launched a 10-year Strategic Defence Review setting out how Britain will operate in an ever-more worrying geopolitical environment.  Sir Keir Starmer says "every citizen has a role to play" in "defence of the realm", but do we know what kind of war we're preparing for?   On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's defence editor Deborah Haynes and military analyst Michael Clarke to discuss whether the defence review meets the mark.   Producer: Emily Hulme  Editor: Philly Beaumont 

Israel has authorised 22 new Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, including legalising unauthorised outposts.Such settlements are considered illegal under international law - a designation Israel disputes.There's nothing new about settlements, they've been popping up in the area since 1967. But since the Hamas attack on 7 October, tensions have intensified.On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our international correspondent Alex Rossi and producer Orly Halpern, who have visited the Palestinian village of Ras al-Ayn, where activists on the ground have reported a surge in violence and intimidation by Israeli settlers aimed at driving Palestinian families from their homes.Editor: Philly BeaumontProducer: Jada Kai Meosa John

Nigel Farage could "definitely" become prime minister at the next general election. That's according to Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson's former chief advisor, who says he has held meetings with the Reform UK leader and advised him on how to go from "one man and an iPhone" to holding the keys to Downing Street.  On the Sky News Daily, Liz Bates speaks to Mr Cummings about the current state of British politics, why the public feels let down, and who Mr Farage needs to recruit if he wants to be the next prime minister. Warning: contains strong language.

The police's rapid announcement of the age, ethnicity, and nationality of the Liverpool parade suspect shows they've learned lessons from the 2024 Southport attack.Within two hours of a car hitting a crowd of Liverpool fans as they celebrated their team parading the Premier League trophy, Merseyside Police said they had arrested a "53-year-old white British man from the Liverpool area".Last summer, the same force was criticised in the aftermath of the Southport stabbings when online speculation and misinformation filled a void after the same force released few details about a 17-year-old – later revealed to be Axel Rudakubana – that they had in custody.On today's Sky News Daily, Matt Barbet is joined by our north of England correspondent Katerina Vittozzi, who is in Liverpool, and Helen King, former assistant chief constable for Merseyside Police, who talks about the challenges of policing online speculation. 

Donald Trump put his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa on the spot during his visit to the Oval Office this week with a list of claims about the deaths of white farmers - claims which Mr Ramaphosa countered and put into context.   On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Richard Calland, a British-South African political analyst and author of The Presidents, From Mandela to Ramaphosa, to discuss exactly who Mr Ramaphosa is and how he will lead his country when it's in the cross hairs of the Trump administration.   Producer: Jada-Kai Meosa John Editor: Wendy Parker  

The government says it will accept the majority of the recommendations in the report it commissioned into jail sentences.   The independent review, led by ex-Conservative justice secretary David Gauke, looked at how to reduce the prison population by 2028. One of its key proposals would see well-behaved inmates only serve a third of their sentences. It would include sex offenders who had agreed to chemical castration.  On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to political correspondent Liz Bates about what is in the plans and what the political ramifications may be for Labour.  Plus, Professor Belinda Winder, who has been evaluating the government's chemical castration pilot, explains what the process involves and how effective it is. Producer: Natalie KtenaEditor: Wendy Parker

Donald Trump has met Syrian president Ahmed al Sharaa - a former al Qaeda leader - during a tour of the Middle East.   The US president said he is looking at "normalising" relations with Syria after lifting sanctions that have crippled the country for 25 years.   On this episode of the Sky News Daily, host Niall Paterson is joined by our international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn to discuss how the meeting came about, its significance for Syria and what it means for the wider region. Producer: Emily Hulme, Soila ApparicioEditor: Philly Beaumont

A Sky News investigation has uncovered the complex gang network using stickers on lampposts and e-bikes to expand their cannabis home delivery operation.   Led by open-source intelligence (OSINT) producer Sam Doak and data and forensics correspondent Tom Cheshire, the team tried to track down and even went to the homes allegedly at the heart of a drug ring responsible for stickers found in a number of cities across the UK.   On today's episode of the Sky News Daily, listen to how the investigation exposes how dark web merchants are coming out of the shadows and into broad daylight and what are the police doing about it.  Sky News contacted the National Crime Agency about our findings. They said: “Many organised crime groups selling drugs use social media and communication platforms to promote and sell their illicit produce," it said in a statement. “The NCA is working with partners across law enforcement and government to tackle drug trafficking."Producer: Emily Hulme and Emma Rae WoodhouseEditor: Philly Beaumont Extra journalism: Henry Vaughan

The prime minister today announced a plan to reduce net migration as he warned the UK risks becoming an "island of strangers".   Sir Keir Starmer wants to bring in tougher English language tests and tighten overseas carer recruitment as part of his policy overhaul to “tighten up” the immigration system.    On this episode of the Sky News Daily, host Niall Paterson is joined by our deputy political editor Sam Coates to discuss whether this is a change in direction for the government after suffering losses in the local elections.   Producer: Natalie Ktena Editor: Philly Beaumont

Pope Leo XIV is the first North American to lead the Catholic Church. But he was not considered to be in the top 10 likely candidates to succeed Pope Francis, in part due to his nationality.  There had been an assumption that an American pope would mean too much power concentrated in the world's most dominant superpower.   So why did the conclave pick Cardinal Robert Prevost - and what does it mean for the future direction of the Catholic Church? To discuss this on today's Sky News Daily with Niall Paterson are Barbara Serra, who has been covering the conclave for Sky News, and Father Thomas Massaro from New York's Fordham University. Producer: Natalie KtenaEditor: Wendy Parker

President Trump has called the US-UK trade deal "full and comprehensive" while Sir Keir Starmer said "it's going to not only protect jobs, but create jobs, opening market access".  The deal comes as interest rates are now at their lowest level for two years after the Bank of England cut the base rate by a quarter point to 4.25%. The Bank also raised its economic growth forecast for this year.  In today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to business correspondent Paul Kelso about how good a deal it is for the UK and whether the reduction in interest rates will have more of an impact on the country's finances.   Producer: Natalie Ktena Editor: Wendy Parker 

India has launched missile strikes on Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir in retaliation for a terror attack last month that India accused its neighbour of backing - which Islamabad denies. But the friction between the nuclear-armed countries isn't new.     On this episode of the Sky News Daily, host Niall Paterson dissects how the world might respond to yet more tension in the region and asks why the conflict is centred around Kashmir with our defence and security analyst Professor Michael Clarke.    Producers: Soila Apparicio, Emily Hulme Editor: Philly Beaumont 

Prince Harry has lost his legal challenge over the level of security he receives while in the UK and described the ruling as an "establishment stitch-up". He says the decision leaves him unable to safely bring his wife and children back to Britain.  In a new interview with the BBC, the Duke of Sussex spoke about his estranged relationship with his family, revealing the King won't "speak to him". But could they reconcile?   On today's Sky News Daily, Matt Barbet speaks to royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills about Harry's latest comments, the court ruling, and whether reconciliation with the Royal Family is still possible.  

Civil war has been raging in Sudan for two years. The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has seen famine, destruction, and millions driven from their homes.   Among them, the family and friends of our Africa correspondent Yousra Elbagir. She was born in Khartoum and recently returned to her childhood home.   Yousra joins Niall Paterson on the Sky News Daily to share her assessment of what returning home, after it had been ransacked during the ongoing war, was like. You can listen to previous coverage of war in Sudan in our episode ‘The war nobody is talking about' here.  Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Philly Beaumont  

JD Vance is the latest senior member of Donald Trump's administration to say the US will walk away from peace talks if there isn't a yes from both Ukraine and Russia.    But the US plan to recognise Russia's claim to Crimea would be a breach of Ukraine's constitution and so not something President Volodomyr Zelenskyy can agree to even if he wanted to keep the talks alive.   On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to our international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn about what will happen to Ukraine and Russia - and to the UK's and Europe's relations with the US - if Trump walks away from peace talks.  Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Wendy Parker 

Delegations arrived in London on Wednesday for talks on a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine after the discussions were downgraded from the very top level. Officials, including the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Foreign Secretary David Lammy had been expected to attend, but that's now not happening.The downgrading in the level of diplomacy is in contrast with an intensification in the pressure from Donald Trump to agree a ceasefire. So, what's going on? Is a peace deal inching closer or moving further away?  On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to Sky's military analyst Michael Clarke to find out.Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Philly Beaumont

He speaks to chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay about what impact Bukele has had on El Salvador's gang problems and if he has transformed the country into a business and tourism haven.  He also hears from Dr Ainhoa Montoya author and senior researcher at the Spanish National Research Council, and founding director of the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of London. She explains how Bukele secured his position of power and uses social media as a propaganda tool.Producer: Soila Apparicio

Jury selection begins on Tuesday in the retrial of the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, where the original charges of rape and sexual assault will be heard again.   Last year his convictions on those charges were overturned due to concerns the judge had made improper rulings.    The accusations against the Hollywood mogul were first published seven years ago - sparking the #MeToo movement. It saw a flood of women - famous and not - sharing stories of gender-based violence and harassment.     On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to arts and entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer about why Weinstein is in court again and whether the #MeToo movement he sparked still has the impact it once had. 

British Steel's Scunthorpe steelworks are now effectively under government control after the business secretary said Chinese owner Jingye had decided to stop buying enough raw materials to keep the blast furnaces going. Jonathan Reynolds said the government took the action as steel "is vital for our national security". But with Chinese companies owning hundreds of billions of pounds worth of infrastructure assets throughout the UK, do they have too much influence on the UK's critical industries?  On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to business correspondent Paul Kelso about nationalising British Steel, Chinese investment in the UK economy and whether the government can ultimately keep the lights in the furnaces on. The Sky News Daily has approached Jingye for comment. 

On today's Sky News Daily, we're sharing the latest episode of Electoral Dysfunction. Donald Trump has pressed pause on his higher tariffs... but not before he unleashed absolute chaos on the global economy.It all came down to the bond market - which you might remember from Liz Truss's time as prime minister... Alongside most countries, the UK still has the base level of 10% tariffs on exports and 25% on automobiles, so is the prime minister's "keep cool" strategy still paying off?Or is the UK just in the same boat, waiting along with everybody else for Trump's next move? One thing's for sure - Harriet thinks the UK government is speaking in code. She says Starmer needs to speak up and reassure the British public a bit more. 

Unannounced Prince Harry arrived at the court of appeal in London on Tuesday, as part of a last-ditch attempt to overturn the Home Office decision to remove his UK state funded security, something he calls an “injustice”.   It overshadows the King and Queen's state visit to Italy which comes at a time of geopolitical and diplomatic delicacy as Trump's tariffs upend world order as we know it.  On the Sky News Daily, Mark Austin speaks to royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills in Rome about why security has been a sticking point in Prince Harry's and the King's relationship. They discuss if this clash of events tells us anymore about the pair's dynamic.   Producers: Emma Rae Woodhouse  Editor: Paul Stanworth   

The world is bracing itself for what Donald Trump is calling 'Liberation Day' when on 2 April he's promised tariffs will be placed on most countries trading with the US.    The UK is already feeling the effects of Trump's protectionist policies after tariffs were imposed on its metal industries.    On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to economics and data editor Ed Conway who has been travelling across the UK looking at the impact they're having so far.  He visits an aluminium plant in Scotland and a stainless steel producer in Sheffield, both hit by the tariffs, but finds there is some hope for a tungsten mine in Devon.  Help us understand more about our listeners by taking our survey!  This form should only take a few minutes to complete, and Sky anonymises the responses as much as possible   Podcast producer: Rosie Gillott Editor: Wendy Parker

Prince William is in Estonia to visit British troops but also to show the UK's support for the NATO country which borders Russia.  The King's invitation to Donald Trump to come to the UK for a state visit was seen as a key part of British diplomacy to keep the US president on side. And the King and Queen are due to go to Italy soon with a focus on UK-Italian defence co-operation.   On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills in Tallinn to discuss whether at this critical time the UK is deploying the soft power of the royals to make a difference. Producer: Natalie KtenaEditor: Wendy Parker

One of the benefits targeted for £5bn worth of savings is the key disability benefit - Personal Independence Payments (PIP).   Health Secretary Wes Streeting has told Sky News 1,000 people a day apply for PIP, but pressure from Labour's backbenchers could see plans to reform the benefit watered down.   On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Paul Morrison, a benefits expert and policy adviser for the Methodist Church, on how PIP works and who is eligible. Political correspondent Liz Bates explains the challenges of reforming PIP. Podcast producers: Natalie Ktena & Rosie GillottEditor: Wendy Parker

He has called the allegations "false" and says it's because he "dared to question Nigel Farage".On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson looks at what's behind the row and examines how damaging it is for Reform with Sky's chief political correspondent Jon Craig and Gawain Towler, the party's former director of communications.Podcast producer: Natalie KtenaEditor: Wendy Parker

The Red House was a children's home in Norfolk which took in hundreds of students in care from across the UK between 1984 and 1998.   It was run by a controversial Danish group called Tvind, operating an unconventional education system - most students from the Red House left without any qualifications. Now, over 40 former pupils have come forward with allegations of physical and sexual abuse they say they faced at the home.   On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to correspondent Alice Porter about what has been uncovered, as she travelled to Denmark to track down the organisation behind the Red House and investigate claims it is a cult.

The rumours lead to attacks on Asian men and businesses in her hometown of Barrow-in-Furness.

It is 50 years ago this week that Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative Party and it's a testament to her legacy that she's being invoked by both Sir Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch. When she became Prime Minister in 1979 she drove through radical policies like council house sales, privatisation and a crackdown on trade unions which continue to shape Britain today. On the Sky News Daily, Niall is joined by Chief political correspondent, Jon Craig to discuss how Margaret Thatcher's legacy is still driving today's politics. Plus he speaks to Caroline Slocock, former private secretary to Mrs Thatcher during her final 18 months in office on what she was like to work for. Producer: Alex BishopEditor: Wendy Parker

Donald Trump has proposed the US should take over Gaza and that the two million Palestinians living there should be resettled elsewhere. The US president argued that Gaza was a "demolition site" and that it could be turned into a "Middle East Riviera" under US control.   His comments break decades of US foreign policy which has emphasised a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians. They have been described as "dangerous" by multiple countries.  On the Sky News Daily, Niall is joined by international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn to discuss the fall-out in countries in the region.  Plus, Alistair Bunkall gives us the reaction from Israel and explains the significance of Gaza to Palestinians.   Producer: Alex Bishop Editor: Wendy Parker
