    Kim Leadbeater on assisted dying, fractious politics and Jo Cox

    Next week, MPs will get their first opportunity in almost a decade to vote on extending the choices available to terminally ill people at the end of their lives. A contentious subject, The Assisted Dying bill is being championed by MP Kim Leadbeater, sister of the murdered MP Jo Cox. Lewis joined Kim in her parliamentary office to talk about the bill, her optimism for the future, and the legacy of her sister.

    Wanted for war crimes: Benjamin Netanyahu

    The International Criminal Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of Israel’s Prime Minister, a former defence minister, and separately for the Hamas commander - saying it has dismissed Israel’s appeal. What will be the repercussions of this around the world? Will the court's findings be rejected by the US? And how will the UK government respond if Benjamin Netanyahu sets foot in Britain? Later, John 'Prezza' Prescott has died. Deputy Labour leader and master of the (centre) left hook after famously punching a protester. Plain speaking, funny, at times cantankerous. Was he a politician ahead of his time?

    Can parliament control Elon Musk?

    Whatever happens on the streets of Britain, there's always an Elon Musk tweet. Often misinformed. Now parliament wants to take Musk on - or "invite him to explain" what's going on. The protests in the summer following the Southport stabbings were a critical example of how fast and how dangerously lies can spread online. Today, in her first broadcast interview, we hear from the chair of the Science and Technology Committee, Chi Onwurah, on her proposals to stop the spread of disinformation on the various media platforms. And we ask if it's still true that 'no one is above the law'? Later, we ask what's happening in Ukraine, where British storm shadow missiles have been fired into Russia for the first time. Can this change the ground game for Volodymyr Zelensky? And is Putin serious about changing his rules of nuclear engagement? We hear from former defence minister James Heappey.

    Why are farmers storming Westminster?

    Later in this episode we talk to Patrick Radden Keefe, author of global bestseller 'Empire of Pain'. His new Disney+ drama 'Say Nothing' tells the story of murder and memory during The Troubles in 1970's Northern Ireland, and solves one of that time's most egregious crimes. But we start on the streets of Whitehall with the farmers storming Westminster, and their rallying cry - "Starmer Farmer Harmer". How has the new government got on their wrong side so quickly? How damaging will the policies in the budget REALLY be for farmers? And will the Chancellor back down?

    Why one journalist’s tweet sparked a media frenzy

    On Remembrance Sunday the Telegraph columnist, Allison Pearson, had a visit from Essex police. Her report sparked a media frenzy, talk of a witch hunt, and an interjection from Elon Musk. What really went on? Why is everyone talking about free speech? And how might this play into the whole MAGA playbook? We take a proper look. Later, this should be the lame duck period of the US administration. So why has Joe Biden now handed Volodymyr Zelenskyy the long range missiles he’s desperate for? We talk to Mark Urban on Ukraine, and Britain's response.

    Weekend Edition - The Sports Agents

    This week on The Sports Agents, Donald Trump will be the President when the U.S. host the World Cup and the Olympics - what will that mean for global sport? We speak to The Telegraph’s Sport Investigations Reporter, Ben Rumsby, and Amnesty International’s Head of Sport and Labour Rights, Steve Cockburn.  With Mike Tyson back in the ring 19 years later facing YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - are influencers killing boxing or throwing it a lifeline? We debate it out with Kalle Sauerland, Co-President of Misfits Boxing and Head of Boxing at Wasserman and The Guardian’s Chief Sports Reporter, Sean Ingle.  As cycling great Mark Cavendish retires, we find out about the man behind the lycra with his friend and ex-Team GB team mate Adam Blythe.  And how does Gabby think influencers should be punished when they take things a bit too far...? Got a question for The Sports Agents - email us at thesportsagents@global.com New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday. 04:51 - Will Trump change global sport 11:25 - Are influencers killing or saving boxing? 16:01 - Mark Cavendish the mini Usain Bolt 21:34 - When influencers go too far...

    Peter Mandelson on Elon Musk, free speech, and his next big job

    An ever present figure in British politics since the 1980s, Lord Peter Mandelson isn't done yet. He's hoping to become the next chancellor of Oxford University, but his name's also been brought up in the conversation about who should become Britain's ambassador to the US under Donald Trump. Lewis spent the morning with him in Oxford, for a conversation about higher education, culture wars, how Labour should engage with the new American administration - and why Elon Musk is too big for Keir Starmer to ignore.

    Could an alleged sex trafficker become America’s next Attorney General?

    Donald Trump’s latest cabinet picks are actually laugh out loud hilarious. Unless, of course, you are American. In which case they are a signal that he doesn’t give two hoots about the rule of law or US security. Today we talk through the ethics of appointing Matt Gaetz and the persuasions of Tulsi Gabbard.  And, we speak exclusively to Steve Hilton, former Downing Street advisor to David Cameron who is now behind Donald Trump and seriously considering a run for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s old job - Governor of California.
