Are Republicans in panic mode?

Donald Trump has begun his midterm campaign push, but not where you might expect. The president headed to North Carolina, a state Republicans usually count on winning, while Vice President JD Vance was dispatched to deep-red Kansas. So why are the party's biggest names spending time in states Trump carried comfortably in 2024? Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates for the first time in more than three years as the financial cost of America's war with Iran continues to climb. Also a new report says there are reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes during strikes in Iran earlier this year. What does it mean for the Trump administration? And what does a picture taken through the window of Air Force One accidentally reveal about Donald Trump's plans for the Kennedy Center? You can watch episodes of Trump100 on our YouTube channel.

Why did Andy Burnham choose Israel for his biggest moment yet?

Ed Milliband made a bold statement in the Commons this week - UK government sanctions on Israeli settlements. But is there more to the timing of this? Harriet makes the case for why it's principled rather than political, and Beth, Ruth and Harriet dig into another question underneath the policy - is this a rebuke of Keir Starmer, and did his government simply not move fast enough? And the response from Britain's Jewish community, and whether Ed Miliband needs to do more on this now. We also go further into Reform's woes, following on from our members' episode this week. As the Metropolitan Police widens its investigation into party donations after Channel 4's undercover documentary, former Conservative-turned-Reform member Tim Montgomerie joins the ladies fresh from quitting the party to explain why he thinks the court around leader Nigel Farage is starting to crack, and whether Reform has already peaked.

Why Canada courting the EU isn’t great news for Great Britain

Canadian prime minister Mark Carney is looking for closer ties with Europe – but could an “associate” membership with the EU push the UK to the back of the queue? Addressing the European Parliament, Carney welcomed the idea of forming a partnership, which could potentially give Canada closer ties on trade, defence, and technology. The country is keen to strengthen its ties beyond the USA – with Donald Trump still intent on a punishing trade war. But what are the implications for the UK, as relations with Brussels continue to stall? What would associate membership mean? And could Canada become a blueprint for other countries? Niall Paterson speaks to director of the UK in a Changing Europe, Anand Menon.

Is the government doing anything to stop AI killing us all?

The government needs to step up and properly regulate AI - that’s what Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told the podcast - saying we can expect to hear more about it soon. She’s on the podcast this week talking to Beth after we’ve heard warnings that AI “could kill us all by the end of the decade”. Lisa Nandy also reflects on the online safety act - are the tech companies taking the UK government seriously? Beth also gets her take on the growing row over plans to house asylum seekers at a former military site near Piddington, Oxfordshire - the village of 300 people who held a referendum this week to leave the UK. So who gets the final say when national policy clashes with local democracy? Beth, Harriet and Ruth debate whether the government needs to rethink its plans on housing asylum seekers, why some communities feel unheard, and how immigration is becoming a defining battleground in British politics.

Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy reveal what was said and whether it was all taken in good fun.... Meanwhile, the economic picture looks bleak as John Healey prepares for his first budget. Sam has a scoop on how one economic forecast could make or break his spending plans. And Reform remains ‘100% confident’ two of the biggest donations in British political history were legal.

Why 9/11 has turned toxic for Rudy Giuliani and Zohran Mamdani

As America marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks, a row has erupted between the man who led New York through its darkest moments and the city’s current mayor. Rudy Giuliani became the face of New York’s resilience following the fall of the Twin Towers, but he warned Zohran Mamdani to stay away from official memorial events. Mamdani, the city’s first ever Muslim mayor, ignored his predecessor advice – despite being compared by Giuliani to the al Qaeda terrorists who carried out the 9/11 atrocities. Is Giuliani’s ire racially motivated? What brought about the former Trump ally’s own fall from grace? And what have native New Yorkers made of Mamdani’s time in charge? Niall Paterson is joined by Niall Stanage, White House columnist at The Hill. Have you got a question for Niall? Email us: why@sky.uk
