Why is Hollywood turning on Timothee Chalamet?

Timothee Chalamet – movie star and tabloid regular – had been the firm favourite to take home the Best Actor statue at this weekend’s Academy Awards. So why have the former Hollywood favourite’s fortunes fallen so dramatically? The press campaign for his movie Marty Supreme, as well as some ill-timed controversial comments about opera and ballet, have led to a backlash. Why has public opinion turned against him? And how do the big Hollywood studios go about influencing who wins what at the Oscars? Niall is joined by Sky’s entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer in Tinsel Town and Paula Froelich, senior story producer and on-air talent for NewsNation. Have you got a question for Niall?

Why the 'Tech Bros' are turning against Trump

One of the world's most valuable AI companies is suing the US government after it was designated a "supply chain risk" by Pete Hegseth's Department of War. It's an unprecedented legal fight – after Anthropic refused to allow its technology to be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons. Now, other tech giants – including Google, Microsoft and Apple – have swung their support behind Anthropic. Why has this dispute happened and what could it all mean for the future of AI? Niall speaks to Sky’s technology correspondent, Rowland Manthorpe, about the potential consequences. Have you got a question for Niall? Email the show - why@sky.uk

Why the Mandelson files mean more trouble for Keir Starmer

The first batch of the Mandelson files have finally been released – but even though there’s still more to come, there are already serious questions for the prime minister. What was the vetting process before Mandelson’s appointment as the UK’s ambassador to the United States? How much was known about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein? And could more have been done to prevent a five-figure payout following his downfall? Niall is joined by Sky’s political correspondent Rob Powell, who has been going through the files. Peter Mandelson has always denied any criminal wrongdoing. Have you got a question for Niall? Email the show - why@sky.uk

Why Putin could be the Iran war's big winner

After a phone call with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump announced the US could ease oil sanctions on some countries to combat the rise in prices brought about by the Iran war. It wasn’t clear whether Russia would be included, but such a move could signal a significant shift for the country, which has been isolated since the start of the war with Ukraine. Could Russia be finding its way back to the world stage – after years as a global pariah? Jayne Secker is joined by Sky's Moscow correspondent, Ivor Bennett. Have you got a question for us?

Is Iran’s new supreme leader Trump's next target?

A "continuity candidate" or the ultimate "nepo baby"? Iran’s new supreme leader is Mojtaba Khamenei, a 56-year-old cleric and son of the previous ayatollah. Khamenei was once described as "the power behind the robes" in his father's regime - but very little is known about him. So, who is Mojtaba Khamenei, and how was he chosen? What does his selection mean for the future of the Iranian regime and people? And with few signs that the war with Israel and the US will abate any time soon, what difference will he make to the outcome of the conflict? Niall is joined by Dr Louise Kettle, assistant professor of international relations at the University of Nottingham. Have you got a question for Niall? Email the show – why@sky.uk

Why is HMS Dragon taking so long to get to Cyprus?

The warship HMS Dragon is now not expected to leave for the Mediterranean until next week to begin its mission to defend a British military base in Cyprus from attacks by Iran. The ship is one of six Type 45 air defence destroyers in the Royal Navy and one of three that aren’t currently out of service. It is well-equipped to deal with Iran’s Shahed-type drones, so why has it taken so long to send it to the region? Niall speaks to defence analyst Tom Sharpe, who also spent 27 years in the Royal Navy, about the military capabilities of HMS Dragon, the state of the Navy currently, and when the warship might finally arrive in the Med.

Have Brits in the Middle East been abandoned?

Most people have had a bad experience on holiday – but not many will have seen their destination turn into a war zone. That’s been the case for thousands of British travellers in places like Oman and Dubai following the start of the conflict with Iran. The UK’s first repatriation flight was branded a “total shambles” - so what is the government doing to help both holiday makers and expats caught in the crossfire? Niall is joined by Sky’s correspondent Sally Lockwood in Dubai. Have you got a question for Niall? Email the show – why@sky.uk

Why Europe is finally standing up to Donald Trump

The United States may have launched strikes on Iran this week, but Donald Trump also found time for a war of words. This time, it was with the prime ministers of the UK and Spain – after they refused to allow America access to their airbases ahead of the attack. Keir Starmer and Pedro Sanchez have responded with some tough words of their own – so why are they and other European leaders finally standing up to Trump? Niall is joined by Sky’s defence analyst Michael Clarke. Have you got a question for Niall? Email the show – why@sky.uk
