Introducing... Unreliable Witness: Who is Ellie Williams?

It’s the height of lockdown, 19-year-old Ellie Williams claims on social media she's been raped and exploited by an Asian grooming gang across the north of England. Photos of her alleged injuries add to the outrage and the post goes viral - shared more than 100,000 times. Social media rumours lead to attacks on Asian men and businesses in her hometown of Barrow-in-Furness. But when she's arrested for perverting the course of justice, things really explode and there are protest rallies and claims of a cover-up. At her trial, the prosecution say she lied, faked text messages and even caused the catalogue of injuries to herself. In season 6 of StoryCast, Sky News' Jason Farrell and Liz Lane, who reported on the case at the time, return to Barrow to investigate what could have led her to make these claims and if, underneath it all, there is some other truth buried among the lies. With access to her family, police investigators and those most impacted by her allegations, we ask: Is Ellie Williams a villain - or a victim of something else? And what happened after the trial - once all the media attention died down and new allegations began to emerge? This is episode one of Unreliable Witness.

Young mother and former GB youth swimmer, Alexis Quinn, agrees to enter NHS England psychiatric care following a family tragedy.

There, she encounters the kind of threat she never could have imagined in a secure mental health hospital. In a bid to break free, Alexis plots a daring escape. Making it back to her daughter, however, will pit her against some of the most powerful institutions in the State, including the police. This episode contains discussions about sexual assault.

Episode Six: Iran - The Hidden Hand

On 3 January 2020, the United States killed Iran’s top spy master, Major General Qasem Soleimani, in a drone strike in Iraq. There was nothing grey or ambiguous about the assassination, but this episode explores the escalating grey zone hostilities between Iran and the United States in the preceding years and how they almost ignited a real war. Sky News journalist Deborah Haynes explores in particular how Iran allegedly uses proxy forces in the grey zone, under the threshold of war, to try to level the playing field when competing with a super power. Interviews: General David Petraeus, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency John Raine, Senior Adviser for Geopolitical Due Diligence, International Institute for Strategic Studies Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Conservative MP and former UK defence minister. She now serves as energy minister Fabian Picardo, Chief Minister of Gibraltar Anonymous Iraqi MP Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Professor of English Literature and Orientalism, University of Tehran Major General Amos Yadlin, a former chief of Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate Credits: Written and narrated by Deborah Haynes Edited and produced by Chris Scott Production support from Michael Greenfield The head of Sky News Radio is Dave Terris

The podcast also includes interviews with spies and military chiefs who warn about the threat to daily life if attacks in the grey zone go unpunished. In the words of one former head of the UK’s special forces: “We’re being boiled like a frog!” Credits: Written and narrated by Deborah Haynes Edited and produced by Chris Scott Production support from Sophia McBride and Victoria Seabrook Additional voices provided by Cayetano Delgado The head of Sky News Radio is Dave Terris

Misinformation Itself

29/09/2022

The S.K.P. Machine

“Into the Grey Zone” is part of the problem, not part of the solution, carefully selecting what to denounce as “misinformation” according to a pronounced leftist political bias.
