    Why could nobody save Sara Sharif?

    Sara Sharif, a 10-year-old girl from Surrey, was found dead in her home in August 2023 with extensive injuries indicating prolonged abuse.    Her father, Urfan Sharif, and stepmother, Beinash Batool, have been convicted of her murder, while her uncle, Faisal Malik, was found guilty of causing or allowing her death. The trio initially fled to Pakistan but were apprehended on their return to the UK.    Sara's death has prompted a review of child safeguarding practices to prevent such incidents in the future.    Niall Paterson hears about the case from our social affairs correspondent Becky Johnson, and if Sara's death could have been prevented with Dr Ciaran Murphy from the Association of Child Protection Professionals, who says social workers are coming under increasing pressure.    Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse  Editor: Philly Beaumont

    How did Saudi Arabia land the 2034 World Cup?

    Saudi Arabia has been awarded the men's 2034 World Cup.       It will be the crowning event in its sport spending spree, having already reportedly invested £5bn since 2021, as it tries to diversify away from oil.     Niall Paterson is joined by Sky News' Rob Harris and Middle East football expert James M Dorsey to discuss what it means for football and the kingdom.     The plans are not lacking in ambition and include a new stadium 350m above ground level, in an as-yet unbuilt futuristic carless city.     But big questions remain about how the country landed the tournament, with its bid unopposed and the country consistently facing claims of human rights abuses.      Podcast Producer: Alex Bishop  Editor: Philly Beaumont

    Syria – what you need to know

    Bashar al Assad's 24-year dictatorship collapsed over the weekend as rebel forces took control of the Syrian capital Damascus.       Assad and his family have reportedly fled to Moscow under the protection of his long-term ally President Putin, ending a 13-year civil war that’s believed to have killed over 350,000  people.     Sky’s defence analyst Prof Michael Clarke joins host Niall Paterson to explain how a mild-mannered doctor became one of the world’s deadliest dictators, and how a rebel force swept him and his Russian-backed army away in less than a week.      Podcast Producer: Alex Bishop  Editor: Philly Beaumont

    How is AI driving an explosion of fake nudes?

    When 'Jodie' discovered images of herself had been turned into fake pornography, she felt her "whole world fall away".     "I was seeing images of me that weren't real, but that looked very, very real," she told Matt Barbet on today's episode of the Sky News Daily.     She's one of a growing number of women dealing with deepfake nudes, as the software to digitally transform a clothed picture into a naked one is easier to get hold of.     Jodie joins Matt and Professor Clare McGlynn, who focuses on cyberflashing and image-based sexual abuse, to discuss how tech companies and the law are allowing this to happen.    You can read more analysis of the use of AI in creating fake nude images by our home editor Jason Farrell, here.    Producers: Alex Bishop, Soila Apparicio  Editor: Philly Beaumont

    How far-right candidate Georgescu's TikTok rocked the Romanian election

    It's Romania's turn at the polls on Sunday, and a far-right candidate has made a surprise lead in the first round of voting. Călin Georgescu is a little-known, independent, anti-NATO, pro-Russia candidate, who is in a presidential run-off against centrist leader Elena Lasconi.     The social media platform TikTok is credited with helping Georgescu to make those unexpected gains -becoming an effective way for the right to spread its message, and sway voter opinion.     But Romania's authorities have suggested "a state-sponsored actor" has made a major attempt to interfere in the elections using TikTok, and with a series of cyber attacks. Georgescu's been accused of undeclared campaign spending and not labelling political advertising.       Matt Barbet hosts today's Sky News Daily, joined by our Europe correspondent Adam Parsons in Romania, who's been speaking to Călin Georgescu. Plus, Anda Solea a lecturer in cyber crime at the University of Portsmouth, discusses how Georgescu used TikTok to rise to the top in the Romanian election.      You can watch Adam's full interview with the Romanian presidential candidate here.
