    Weekend Edition - The Sports Agents

    This week on The Sports Agents... Imagine flying on EasyJet and seeing the men's team on private jets. That's one of the many gaps the England women's team experienced before Baroness Sue Campbell stepped in and five years later, the women won the Euros. One of the greatest trailblazers in UK sport joins us for International Women's Day (02:15). After Emma Raducanu spoke out about crying when she saw her stalker at a match, we found out what it's like to have a stalker with former GB middle distance runner Sabrina Sinha (08:45). Did you know North Korea show the Premier League? They do it in a very strange way, as Martyn Williams from 38 North, a US-based think-tank analysing North Korea, explained. (15:30) And we've just turned one! We celebrate our first anniversary by picking our favourite moments from the last year. (20:15) Got a question for The Sports Agents - email us at thesportsagents@global.com New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.

    Is Trump trying to topple Zelenskyy?

    Trump is no fan of Zelenskyy. That much has been clear for months. But according to Politico, his administration is now tapping up Ukrainian opposition politicians and former leaders to try to push Zelenskyy out of power. Is America now interfering in Ukraine’s domestic policies as well as forcing its submission to Putin? We talk to CNN Correspondent and Chief International Anchor, Christiane Amanpour about her time with Zelensky. And what do European leaders have to offer Ukraine as they meet now in Brussels? Have they come to the conclusion Starmer hasn’t yet - that America can no longer be trusted? Tickets to The News Agents Live On Stage with HSBC UK are now on sale!

    Trump suspends intelligence sharing with Ukraine

    A carefully worded letter from Ukraine's President Zelenskyy has made its way to Donald Trump - The News Agents have details on the role that the British government may have played in getting that message delivered to the American President. What's less clear is how Trump will respond - what happens now? He described Zelenskyy's letter as "important" - so why has he suspended intelligence sharing with Kyiv? And will there be any punishment for Russia in this “deal”? Plus, we’re with the CEO of the Munich Security Conference, who led JD Vance on stage for that speech.

    Trump pulls the plug on military aid - can Ukraine survive?

    Trump has ordered a “pause“ on all US military aid to Ukraine. All the pending military assistance Biden signed off before leaving office is now in a holding pattern until Trump gets his apology/ submission/ minerals deal from Zelenskyy. How long can Ukraine go on fighting now? Will the EU find the money to plug the gap? And is Trump remotely interested in peace? Later, as tariffs the tariffs imposed on Mexico, Canada and China come into affect we ask how long before Americans will start noticing prices going up and their economy suffering?
