  • Trump: MAKING TARIFFS INTERESTING AGAIN, with Ed Conway

    Trump: MAKING TARIFFS INTERESTING AGAIN, with Ed Conway
    Jan 31 2025
    “Tariffs is the most beautiful word to me in the dictionary,” said Donald Trump during his second inauguration as US president, alongside God, religion, and love.

    This weekend, Trump hopes to follow through on his threat to hit imports, starting with a 25% border tax rate on Canada and Mexico. But some worry that the protectionist trade policies, new tariffs and retaliatory measures by other nations could slow economic growth in the US, spur inflation, and trigger a trade war.

    Niall is joined by Ed Conway, our economics and data editor, to unpick why Trump loves tariffs, what he hopes to achieve with them, and how likely a trade-war is.

    Washington plane crash: What we know so far
    Jan 30 2025
    American Airlines flight 5342 was preparing to land on runway 33 at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport last night when it collided with a military helicopter. There were no survivors - how could such a tragedy happen?

    On this episode, Niall Paterson is joined by former Royal Air Force Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell to look at what might have led to the mid-air collision.

    Niall also speaks to Dr Michael McCormick, a US air traffic control expert who has developed policies for commercial aircraft to operate in the same airspace as the military.

  • Heathrow Airport: The case for and against a third runway

    Heathrow Airport: The case for and against a third runway
    Jan 29 2025
    Rachel Reeves has backed a third runway at Heathrow as a key part of her economic growth strategy, saying the expansion of Europe’s busiest airport was “badly needed”. But it will very likely face opposition from environmental campaigners and local residents, which could hold up work on a third runway for years.

    On this episode, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky’s business correspondent, Paul Kelso, and science and technology editor, Tom Clarke, to look at the pros and cons of the airport’s expansion - from how much it would add to the UK economy, to how it squares with the UK’s net zero targets.

    Exclusive: Iran's warning to US and Israel
    Jan 28 2025
    Sky News' international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn joins to Niall following his exclusive interview with Iran's foreign minister in Tehran.

    Abbas Araghchi responds to Donald Trump's claim that a deal with Iran would be "nice", as well as talk that Israel could be planning an attack on his country's nuclear facilities with US backing - something he calls "crazy".

    Dominic's interview also covers the future of Gaza and he tells Niall, after a hugely damaging 12 months, what is on the line for Iran this year.

    Auschwitz remembered: Why we should never forget
    Jan 27 2025
    The 80th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz is marked on 27 January. It’s a day for remembering the horrors of the Holocaust, and other more recent genocides.

    But with many survivors now in their old age, how do we preserve their stories and accounts of what happened for future generations?

    Niall visits the Imperial War Museum to speak to historian Dr James Bulgin who is the museum’s head of public history, to learn more about the importance of sharing the lessons from the Holocaust, and how best to do so in an increasingly polarised world.

    Trump 100 is Sky News' latest podcast covering President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office.

    Daily host Niall Paterson drops in on day six, where US correspondents Martha Kelner, Mark Stone and James Matthews look beyond the Washington bubble to take stock of the first working week of the Trump presidency.

    The team focus on how the president has already been impacting the lives of ordinary Americans and those outside its borders. This week, Martha has been to Texas and Mexico to speak to those affected by Trump's declaration of a state of emergency over immigration.

    They also discuss Trump's policy decisions so far – from the controversial to the pragmatic. And the dramatic political theatre with which he signed his first executive orders.

    Jan 22 2025
    Prince Harry has his apology from the owner of The Sun. The Duke of Sussex has settled with News Group Newspapers (NGN) following a long legal battle over surveillance and misuse of private information by journalists between 1996 and 2011.

    His lawyer called it a "monumental victory" as the paper's owner apologised for the "serious intrusion" into the prince's private life.
