Will we ever know everything about Peter Mandelson?

Sir Keir Starmer says he has "put to bed" the row over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador – but it looks set to rumble on for the PM. Starmer's former chief of staff Morgan McSweeney has now been summoned to give evidence to the Commons, as well as Sir Olly Robbins's predecessor at the Foreign Office, Sir Philip Barton. Beth explains why Barton's evidence could end up being "box office", while Ruth and Harriet give their assessment on Starmer's very difficult week. And the team discuss if it might be easier to reveal all the information which came up during vetting. Peter Mandelson denies criminal wrongdoing and has not been charged. Plus – Beth's in Manchester interviewing Green Party leader Zack Polanski. Will he be able to persuade voters in Labour heartlands – and beyond - to jump ship?

US midterms: Why Trump's red wave became a ripple

The predicted Republican red wave in the US midterm elections hasn't materialised. Elections for the Senate and House of Representatives presented an opportunity to install supporters of Donald Trump, and make politics difficult for President Joe Biden. On the Sky News Daily, in the early hours of Wednesday morning, Niall Patterson is joined by our international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn and political correspondent Joe Pike to debrief on what the results mean for the Democrats, the country, and looking ahead to the presidential election in 2024. Also, Brittany Gibson, political reporter for Politico, tells us about how close the race was in Georgia, and what it says about divisions in America. Producers: Soila Apparicio and Emily Hulme Interviews Producer: Alys Bowen Promotions Producer: David Chipakupaku Editor: Philly Beaumont

What is Hezbollah and how powerful is it?

The threat of an all-out conflict between Israel and Hezbollah seems to be edging closer after Israel rejected Lebanon ceasefire plans. The Iranian-backed militant group has been a force in Middle East politics and conflict for decades, but has suffered heavy losses in the last few weeks after Israeli attacks. Niall Paterson speaks to Sky's international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn about how much support Hezbollah has within Lebanon and Iran's role with the group. Plus, defence and security editor Deborah Haynes talks to Niall about how significant Hezbollah's military capabilities are. Producer: Alex Edden Editor: Wendy Parker

GCSE results: Why grades don't tell the full story

Are GCSEs the best thing for 16-year-olds to show as they leave secondary education? Is there a better method to assess what they've achieved in school and to set them up for their next step? Niall Paterson explores the future for GCSEs on this episode – and asks why where you live can affect the grades you get. He speaks to two headteachers - Becky Arnold at Framingham Earl high school near Norwich, and Farhan Adam at Crown Hills Community College in Leicester who was awarded "headteacher of the year" in 2023. Plus, Louis Hodge of the research organisation Education Policy Institute (EPI) joins Niall to discuss the "disadvantage gap" in today's GCSE results. Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse Editor: Paul Stanworth

Fast and Furious: 100 days of Trump

Yalda and Richard discuss whether there is any rationale behind President Trump's foreign policy or is he just winging it?

Also, Yalda discusses her interview with Pakistan's defence minister Khawaja Asif who admitted his country has been doing America's "dirty work" for the past 30 years.

Is peace any closer two years on from October 7?

How close is a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas? Just how badly does Donald Trump want the Nobel Peace Prize? Why has Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to this deal now? Richard and Yalda are both in Israel, two years on from the October 7 Hamas attacks, in a week where a ceasefire could be close between the two sides. Both Richard and Yalda have been speaking to the family members of hostages still in Gaza as well as those who were taken captive. They also reflect on two years of devastating war in Gaza which has left 67,000 Palestinians dead. Thousands are without homes and without adequate access to food and aid as Israel continues to bomb parts of the Strip. Will Donald Trump's call to stop the bombardment be listened to? We love making this podcast and we're always looking at ways to make it even better. We'd really appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to fill out our short survey here.
