  1. Why are South African HIV clinics closing because of Trump?

    13 HR AGO

    Why are South African HIV clinics closing because of Trump?

    Elon Musk and the Trump administration have agreed to shut down USAID, the world's largest single donor to international aid programs, with thousands of staff being withdrawn as Mr Musk says it is "beyond repair". The decision follows a wave of government cuts since Mr Trump's return to office last month.    On the Sky News Daily, Tom Cheshire speaks to Sky's Africa correspondent Yousra Elbagir - reporting from Johannesburg - where the effects are already being felt, as sexual health clinics are closing and life-saving HIV drugs are no longer available.   Producer: Alex Bishop   Editor: Philly Beaumont

  2. What does the Middle East make of Trump's Gaza 'Riviera' plan?

    What does the Middle East make of Trump's Gaza 'Riviera' plan?

    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

    How do you know you've chosen a good care home?  

    A Sky News investigation has discovered elderly people in care homes across the country are being left unwashed in soiled sheets, unable to reach food and water, and suffering falls when left alone.   The investigation also uncovered huge problems with how concerns about care homes are investigated – and the way these homes are rated by the Care Quality Commission.   On this episode, Niall Paterson speaks to social affairs correspondent Becky Johnson, who explains the issue of neglect at care homes and explores whether the system designed to support better care is broken.   Producer: Alex Bishop   Editor: Philly Beaumont

    How does Starmer keep Trump’s US and the EU sweet?

    After having introduced trade tariffs on Canada and Mexico over the weekend, President Donald Trump is now threatening import taxes on EU goods. He has, however, said the UK would stay tariff free “for now”.   Sir Keir Starmer says Britain won’t need to choose between the two, saying it’s important to work with both on areas including trade and security.  On the Sky News Daily, Niall is joined by our deputy political editor Sam Coates and US correspondent Mark Stone to break down how Starmer might be able to navigate the push and pull between the EU and Trump, for Britain's economic future.  Producer: Alex Bishop  Editor: Philly Beaumont

  5. Trump: Making Tariffs Interesting Again, with Ed Conway

    Trump: Making Tariffs Interesting Again, with Ed Conway

    “Tariffs is the most beautiful word to me in the dictionary,” said Donald Trump during his second inauguration as US president, alongside God, religion, and love.    This weekend, Trump hopes to follow through on his threat to hit imports, starting with a 25% border tax rate on Canada and Mexico. But some worry that the protectionist trade policies, new tariffs and retaliatory measures by other nations could slow economic growth in the US, spur inflation, and trigger a trade war.     Niall is joined by Ed Conway, our economics and data editor, to unpick why Trump loves tariffs, what he hopes to achieve with them, and how likely a trade-war is.    Producer: Natalie Ktena  Editor: Paul Stanworth

    Washington plane crash: What we know so far

    American Airlines flight 5342 was preparing to land on runway 33 at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport last night when it collided with a military helicopter. There were no survivors - how could such a tragedy happen?       On this episode, Niall Paterson is joined by former Royal Air Force Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell to look at what might have led to the mid-air collision.       Niall also speaks to Dr Michael McCormick, a US air traffic control expert who has developed policies for commercial aircraft to operate in the same airspace as the military.    Producers: Soila Apparicio, Natalie Ktena  Editor: Wendy Parker

    Heathrow Airport: The case for and against a third runway

    Rachel Reeves has backed a third runway at Heathrow as a key part of her economic growth strategy, saying the expansion of Europe’s busiest airport was “badly needed”. But it will very likely face opposition from environmental campaigners and local residents, which could hold up work on a third runway for years.     On this episode, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky’s business correspondent, Paul Kelso, and science and technology editor, Tom Clarke, to look at the pros and cons of the airport’s expansion - from how much it would add to the UK economy, to how it squares with the UK’s net zero targets.    Producer: Natalie Ktena, Alex Bishop  Editor: Wendy Parker

    Exclusive: Iran's warning to US and Israel

    Sky News' international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn joins to Niall following his exclusive interview with Iran's foreign minister in Tehran. Abbas Araghchi responds to Donald Trump's claim that a deal with Iran would be "nice", as well as talk that Israel could be planning an attack on his country's nuclear facilities with US backing - something he calls "crazy". Dominic's interview also covers the future of Gaza and he tells Niall, after a hugely damaging 12 months, what is on the line for Iran this year. Producer: Natalie Ktena Editor: Philly Beaumont
