What does it mean to be black and British? | 20 October 2020
Government data shows nearly two million black Britons live in England and Wales – each with their own, unique experience.
But the COVID pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests throughout 2020 exposed some of the inequalities and disparities that still exist in society.
On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast, host Gamal Fahnbulleh explores his own sense of identity and belonging after recently becoming a father for the first time.
We hear from his sister Miatta Fahnbulleh, journalist Twiggy Jalloh and Abu Yillah, who is a poet and filmmaker, as they share their thoughts on their Sierra Leonean heritage and straddling two cultures.
Gamal and his wife Liz also reflect on what making the documentary 'Black, British and Belonging' has meant for their family.

Brexit: The fight for fish | 16 October 2020
After months of talks attempting to secure a post-Brexit trade deal, how has fishing come to decide the UK’s political future?
Northern Ireland, immigration and the budget have all been sticking points in Brexit negotiations - but one that neither side seems willing to budge over on, is fishing.
In this episode on the Sky News Daily podcast, Dermot Murnaghan speaks to Jeremy Percy, a former fisherman and now chairman of the New Under Tens Fishing Association. They discuss the situation from the perspective of the British fishing industry. Also joining Dermot is Natasha Bowler, Sky’s Brussels producer who explains the politics behind the fishing disputes.

Rape convictions at record low – is it time we ask an uncomfortable question? | 15 October 2020
Rape is a sensitive issue and one that is not easy for many of us to discuss.
It’s even harder for those who experience the crime - which is difficult to prosecute.
But with the lowest conviction levels on record in England and Wales, it prompts an uncomfortable question: Has rape become the perfect crime?
Bonny Turner and Sam Thompson shared their stories with our 'Off Limits' digital series.
We hear their experiences on this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast after neither case made it to court.
Sky's Laura Bundock is also joined by senior producer Liv Moloney, who worked on the documentary - as well as rape survivor Winnie M Li and lawyer Luke Gittos, to discuss the complexities of rape investigations.

Coronavirus: Is the three-tier approach too little too late? | 13 October 2020
On Monday, Boris Johnson outlined a new COVID alert system for England aimed at slowing the spread of the virus in hotspot areas.
The prime minister briefed the nation once again on his plan, hours after the government’s scientists explained the data behind the decision.
Documents published after Mr Johnson was flanked by his chancellor and England’s chief medical officer in Downing Street, then revealed a ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown for the country had been recommended to ministers by scientists.
So is the three-tier approach the right one? And will it be enough to stave off a second COVID crisis here?
Pub owner Matthew Farrell in Liverpool talks to the Sky News Daily podcast about the impact on his business and personal life.
Plus, Dermot Murnaghan is joined by Sky’s Inzamam Rashid in Liverpool and virus expert, Dr Ria Lina to take a closer look at the new measures and discuss the politics as well as the ‘science’.

Customer Reviews
Missing negative feedback
Twice I have left slightly critical reviews of this show and both seem to have been removed or hidden.
Hardly surprising, really.
Very enjoyable, keep it up
I very much enjoyed the space episode! It was so interesting and such fun to listen to!
Yawn. Go hide your pension.
Shocking that he’s still so stuck in his ‘we won’ vote, that he even needs to make the Russia report a ‘fake news’ thing by the vehicle of a suitably selected guest. How about some actual real critique? Sell out. Pathetic.
