Why isn’t the UK stopping Putin’s shadow fleet?

When is a shadow fleet not a shadow fleet? Perhaps when it’s shipping millions of dollars' worth of crude oil through the English Channel in broad daylight. The UK has imposed sanctions on the Russian oil trade since the start of the full invasion of Ukraine - but tankers helping to fund Putin’s war machine are operating in the Channel with apparent impunity. Niall is joined by Sky’s business correspondent Paul Kelso - who trailed some of these ‘shadow fleet’ vessels in the English Channel. Producers: Paul Wilkinson and Tom Gillespie Editor: Mike Bovill

Should the police ban the use of AI?

A Sky News exclusive has found that at least 21 police forces in England are still using Microsoft Copilot, despite it being at the centre of the Maccabi Tel Aviv incident last year. In November, football fans of the Israeli team were banned from attending an away match against Aston Villa in Birmingham. West Midlands Police had determined the risk was too high. The resulting outcry – including from the UK Prime Minister – led to the force’s Chief Constable standing down. The force eventually admitted it had included false information provided by artificial intelligence software in justifying the decision. So why are many other constabularies still using the same platform? Niall speaks to Sky News Sports Correspondent Rob Harris following his investigation. Microsoft has told Sky News it "continuously evaluates" Copilot and urges companies to review how they are using it. Producers: Paul Wilkinson and Sam Gruet Editor: Mike Bovill

Has drone dominance in Ukraine changed warfare forever?

Could the use of drones break the stalemate in the Ukraine war? Tomorrow marks the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion - and for most of this time, it has seemed there was no end in sight. However, technological developments have led to the increased use of drones on the frontline. How have these remote-controlled devices become the dominant weapon on the battlefield, and have they changed the nature of warfare forever? Gareth Barlow speaks to Sky's international correspondent Alex Rossi and Ukraine producer Azad Safarov in Kyiv about coming under fire from drones on the frontline themselves. Producers: Sam Gruet and Paul Wilkinson Editor: Mike Bovill

Why is the world’s gold under the streets of London?

Imagine being in a room surrounded by £64bn worth of gold. It’s a glittering reality Sky’s economics and data editor Ed Conway experienced in one of 12 huge vaults below the Bank of England. To be granted access to the vaults is incredibly rare, not least because the gold bars inside them has been skyrocketing in value globally. So why is so much gold just sitting under London’s streets? Who does it belong to? Ed joins Niall to discuss what it’s like to be in the vaults below London. Producers: Soila Apparicio, Luke Hatten, Tom Gillespie

Andrew arrested: Can it get any worse for the Royal Family?

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on his 66th birthday following revelations in the Epstein files. The former prince’s links with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein have been known for years - so has the Royal Family done enough to investigate any potential wrongdoing? Andrew has always denied any allegations of illegality in connection with Epstein. Niall is joined by Sky’s royal correspondent, Rhiannon Mills, to discuss the crisis and what’s next for the Royal Family. Producers: Emily Hulme, Tom Gillespie Editor: Wendy Parker

Is it safe to let out Britain’s most notorious prisoner?

Charles Bronson's ninth appeal to the Parole Board is being considered as the hostage-taking former armed robber continues his fight for freedom. The 73-year-old has spent 52 years in jail, much of it in solitary confinement and he and his celebrity supporters believe it is now time for him to be released. Niall is joined by Sky's crime commentator Martin Brunt who assesses Bronson’s chances of getting parole and reflects on his unlikely decades-long friendship with the violent criminal. Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Wendy Parker

Lost Boys: Is demonising teenage boys part of the problem?

Boys are now falling behind girls in every metric at school. They're more likely to be out of work than girls, and they make up 98% of the youth prison intake. There are also 2.5 million children growing up without a father figure and this seems to be impacting boys much more than girls. But is part of the problem that boys are being told they're the problem? One headteacher is hoping his groundbreaking scheme of volunteer male mentors will help change that. Gareth Barlow is joined by Chris Edwards, the headteacher behind the project, and Sky’s home affairs editor Jason Farrell, who has spent months documenting his efforts to get it off the ground.
