  • Will Trump make space great again?
    Feb 7 2025
    The US is back in the race to the moon but this time, the competition is China. Determined not to lose, President Donald Trump is pushing for America to return to the moon, backed by billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. But as costs rise and delays mount, could the focus shift from the moon to Mars?

    On the Sky News Daily podcast, Tom Cheshire speaks to Science and Technology editor Tom Clarke and space journalist Eric Berger about the escalating price of securing America's place in the space race - and whether Mars could be the next "MAGA mission".

  • Why are South African HIV clinics closing because of Trump?
    Feb 6 2025
    Elon Musk and the Trump administration have agreed to shut down USAID, the world's largest single donor to international aid programs, with thousands of staff being withdrawn as Mr Musk says it is "beyond repair". The decision follows a wave of government cuts since Mr Trump's return to office last month.

    On the Sky News Daily, Tom Cheshire speaks to Sky's Africa correspondent Yousra Elbagir - reporting from Johannesburg - where the effects are already being felt, as sexual health clinics are closing and life-saving HIV drugs are no longer available.

  • What does the Middle East make of Trump's Gaza 'Riviera' plan?
    Feb 5 2025
    Donald Trump has proposed the US should take over Gaza and that the two million Palestinians living there should be resettled elsewhere.

    The US president argued that Gaza was a "demolition site" and that it could be turned into a "Middle East Riviera" under US control.

    His comments break decades of US foreign policy which has emphasised a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians. They have been described as "dangerous" by multiple countries.

    On the Sky News Daily, Niall is joined by international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn to discuss the fall-out in countries in the region.

    Plus, Alistair Bunkall gives us the reaction from Israel and explains the significance of Gaza to Palestinians.
