    How the conflict in the Middle East might put Donald Trump in the White House 

    Sky News and NBC News have joined forces for a new podcast - The World with Richard Engel and Yalda Hakim.    For the first episode, Yalda is in Jerusalem and Richard is covering events in Lebanon.    They discuss what they are seeing and hearing on both sides of the border as the conflict appears to be "spiralling into an abyss".   And with the US election now four weeks away, they ask whether the economic and military consequences of the war could determine where it’s Donald Trump or Kamala Harris in the Oval Office.   Click here to watch the full episode on YouTube.  To get in touch or to share questions for Engel and Hakim, email theworld@sky.uk.

    USA '24: A storm of misinformation as early voting begins

    It's less than a month to go until the US election, and Sky News' team of US correspondents have been reporting on the campaign trail across the country.     Martha Kelner is in the swing state of Arizona, where early voting is under way. Abortion is a key issue here, and as well as their presidential vote, Arizonans have the option to vote on whether to enshrine the right to choose abortion in the state constitution.      With the full force of Hurricane Milton hitting Florida, James Matthews and Mark Stone are in the west of the state, with James in Sarasota and Mark in St Petersburg. They discuss the impact of misinformation, and if the response from Biden's administration could sway votes.       And, as US vice president Kamala Harris goes on a media blitz - what do the podcasts and TV panel shows she's chosen to appear on tell us about who the Democrats are targeting ahead of the 5 November vote.      Producer: Rosie Gillott  Editor: Philly Beaumont

    Milton: The hurricane scientists were dreading

    Hurricane Milton has torn through Florida bringing 100mph winds, flooding and storm surges with it. Several people have lost their lives, and more than three million homes and businesses have been left without power.      On today’s Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to our US correspondent James Matthews from the heart of the storm in Tampa, Florida, about the scale of the damage so far. He’s also joined in the studio by science and technology editor Tom Clarke to explore why this part of the US is so susceptible to hurricanes, and why scientists were so worried about this storm in particular.          👉 Click to subscribe to the Sky News Daily wherever you get your podcasts 👈            Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse   Editor: Philly Beaumont

    What's gone on with the Tory leadership contest?

    On Tuesday afternoon, James Cleverly got the most votes from Tory MPs in the party’s leadership contest. One day later and the next round of voting went a different way. Cleverly failed to make the final two.    Party members will now choose between Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick in a clear indication that the party will shift towards the right in the months after its election defeat.    So, what happened with Wednesday’s vote, and who will the Tory membership be most attracted to as they decide the party's new leader?  Niall Paterson and our political correspondent Serena Barker-Singh discuss it all on this episode.     Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Paul Stanworth

    Can special advisers be too powerful?

    The departure of Sue Gray, as Sir Keir Starmer's most senior adviser in Number 10, has shone a spotlight on the role of special advisers in government.      So on today’s Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our deputy political editor Sam Coates to find out exactly what role these advisers, often known as SpAds, play in the running of the country.     Niall also speaks to former Conservative special adviser, and author of The Secret Life of Special Advisers, Peter Cardwell, about what it was like to do the job.   Producer: Rosie Gillott  Editor: Paul Stanworth

  6. Can there be a peaceful solution in the Middle East?

    6 DAYS AGO

    Can there be a peaceful solution in the Middle East?

    It's one year on since Hamas's 7 October attack on Israel, which was followed by Israel's mission to eradicate the terror group in Gaza. In short, what followed was a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Iranian attacks on Israel, and Israel fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon.     With the region yet to find a sustainable path away from conflict, on the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson takes a step back and asks if a peaceful solution can ever be found.       Niall is joined by Alistair Bunkall, our Middle East correspondent, and our military analyst Professor Michael Clarke, to discuss if Israel can keep up its fighting against Hezbollah and Hamas, and deal with the rising tensions with Iran, against the backdrop of a continuing crisis in Gaza, with hostages still being held there.  Producer: Soila Apparicio

    USA 24: Vice Presidents, hurricanes, and war in the Middle East

    With only a month to go until the US election, Sky’s dedicated team of correspondents goes on the road to gauge what voters in key swing states make of the choice for president.           This week a series of unexpected events have been derailing the campaign. Iranian ballistic missiles poured into Israel, putting foreign policy at the top of the agenda at the vice presidential debate as Democrat pick Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance went head to head for the first time.       Plus, Martha Kelner and Mark Stone have been tracking the destruction of Hurricane Helene, the deadliest storm since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.     Will the destruction, and the response from the candidates, shift the polls in this key swing state?    Keep up with all the latest in our US election liveblog and check out the Sky News poll tracker.  Producer: Rosie Gillott   Editor: Philly Beaumont  .
