Niall is joined by Jon Schaff, a political science professor at Northern State University in South Dakota. Producers: Natalie Ktena, Soila Apparicio & Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill

Peace in Europe, War with China?

This week Richard and Yalda sit down with Matt Pottinger, former Deputy National Security adviser to Donald Trump and one of the leading US experts on foreign affairs. With an insider’s knowledge of the president’s decision making, Matt lays out what he believes is the rationale behind Trump's foreign policy. He predicts Europe and America will eventually work in tandem and call Putin's bluff, but he warns the real danger lies in the Pacific region and a potential clash with China, a superpower he declares is "already on a war footing”.

2025 Moments: What Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor does next

It's arguably the biggest royal scandal since 1992's "annus horribilis" - Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, stripped of his titles and set to be evicted from Royal Lodge in Windsor. Now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, his downfall was caused by more revelations over his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In the first of our festive episodes looking back at the biggest moments of the year, Niall is joined by ex-BBC royal watcher Jennie Bond and Sky's royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills. They discuss why the King decided to take such a drastic step by ostracising his brother and whether it's enough to limit the damage done to 'The Firm'. Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Mike Bovill

Has Ukraine proved Trump wrong?

This week, Richard and Yalda talk about ‘Operation Spiderweb' - the Ukrainian drone attack that is being described by some analysts as 'Russia's Pearl Harbor'. How did Ukraine pull this unprecedented attack off? Where does this leave peace talks? And how might President Putin respond? Richard and Yalda also reflect on the difficulties of not being able to report from inside Gaza. Israel has previously said it has escorted journalists to Gaza to allow them to report safely. Yalda also dissects the Gaza special programme she fronted and dissects two of the interviews she did. One which saw a former UN humanitarian chief use the word genocide to describe Israel's actions in Gaza, and the other which saw a heated debate with Netanyahu's former adviser. You can watch Yalda's special programme here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0rlmON8leA To get in touch or to share questions for Richard and Yalda, email theworld@sky.uk Episodes of The World With Richard Engel And Yalda Hakim will be available every Wednesday on all podcast platforms.
