'Let’s finish the job’ - Ed Davey at the Lib Dem conference

Ed Davey told the Liberal Democrat party conference that he would "cut through the government's doom and gloom" and plans to "vanquish what's left of the Conservative Party". With attention-grabbing stunts, which this week extended to arriving at the conference on a jet ski, and a record-breaking 72 seats in parliament making them the third biggest party, can the Lib Dems keep the momentum going? Niall Paterson sits down on Brighton's pebble beach with our political correspondent Rob Powell, to debrief on the gimmicks, the conference, and Ed Davey's speech. Plus, Niall catches Lib Dem MPs Tim Farron, Layla Moran, and Calum Miller to get their reaction to Davey's speech and their party's ambitions. Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Philly Beaumont

'Never surrender!' - Trump defiant after another assassination attempt

Donald Trump has faced a second assassination attempt while playing golf in Florida. The accused, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, is said to have fled the scene but was eventually arrested and charged with federal gun crimes. With just seven weeks out from election day, how will voters react to the apparent second bid on Trump's life? Niall Paterson is joined by Scarlett Maguire, director of JL Partners pollsters, to explore what the polls suggest about the race for the White House, and what the latest attempt on Trump could mean for them? Plus, Sir Keir Starmer is in Rome to meet with his Italian counterpart, right-winger Giorgia Meloni. On the agenda is tackling illegal migration, and the prime minister has said he is "interested" in an offshore migration deal Italy has struck with Albania. But the home secretary has said it is not on the cards "at the moment". Our political correspondent Darren McCaffrey is in Italy and discusses with Niall what Sir Keir seeks to learn from Meloni's approach to immigration, and the unease some in his party have to strengthening their relationship.

Prisoners celebrate - but is early release good news?

On Tuesday, 1,700 prisoners were released early from their sentences in the first phase of Labour's plan to tackle overcrowding.

Daily host Matt Barbet is joined by sky correspondent Mollie Malone who's been speaking to some of those set for early release, and home editor Jason Farrell explains the size of the issue the new government is facing when it comes to the state of our prisons. 👉 Click to subscribe to the Sky News Daily wherever you get your podcasts 👈 Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse and Rosie Gillott Podcast promotions producer: Jada-Kai Meosa John Editor: Philly Beaumont
