    Andrew investigated over potential sex crimes | Single-sex spaces guidance | Bank Holiday heatwave

    22/05/2026 | 12 min
    Thames Valley Police are investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over potential sex crimes, it’s understood.
    Officers are assessing allegations that Jeffrey Epstein sent a non-British woman to the UK in 2010 for a sexual encounter with Andrew, but have yet to interview her.
    Meanwhile the equalities watchdog has said in new guidance that single sex spaces - such as changing rooms and toilets - must be used on the basis of biological sex.
    This means a trans woman - a biological male who identifies as a woman - should not use female toilets or changing rooms, according to the code of conduct which has been approved by ministers.
    In politics, Rachel Reeves has announced a temporary cut to VAT on some family attractions as an attempt to ease cost of living pressures.
    It comes as there could be record-breaking temperatures over the Bank Holiday - with health warnings in place.
    Finally, Thomas Tuchel is set to announce his World Cup squad - and some big names will miss out.
    Anna Jones and Leah Boleto have the day's news in just 10 minutes.

    Why is the UK easing Russian oil sanctions?

    21/05/2026 | 15 min
    Since Russia invaded Ukraine, Britain has sanctioned Moscow’s economy in an attempt to weaken Putin's war machine. But this week, the UK introduced a new exemption allowing diesel and jet fuel made from Russian oil to enter Britain via third countries.
    So, has Britain quietly relaxed its sanctions on Russia? And more broadly, have Western sanctions actually worked?
    Niall is joined by Tom Keatinge, founding director of the Centre for Finance and Security at defence and security thinktank the Royal United Services Institute, to explain what sanctions are designed to do, whether they change government behaviour, and why Russia is still making billions from oil exports despite years of restrictions.

    Why Putin and Trump are queuing up to visit China

    20/05/2026 | 20 min
    President Xi Jinping's hopes of putting China at the centre of a new world order have been given a boost by back-to-back visits of two of his fellow world leaders.
    Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump both had the red carpet rolled out but the US president left without securing any major deals, while Putin has signed at least 20 deals and significantly a joint declaration on establishing a multipolar world and a new type of international relations.
    Russia has arguably been weakened by its Ukraine war, and with the US viewed by some as less stable under Trump, is China taking advantage to become the leading global power?
    To discuss this, Niall is joined from Beijing by Sky News’ Asia Correspondent, Helen-Ann Smith.

    Why Elon Musk took Sam Altman to court (and lost)

    19/05/2026 | 15 min
    Tech titan and X owner Elon Musk has seen his high-profile lawsuit against the boss of OpenAI Sam Altman thrown out of court.
    Musk accused his rival of making OpenAI, which created the increasingly popular ChatGPT, a profit-making company after he had donated $38 million to it.
    The jury may have ruled against Musk, but the feud between the two tech tycoons is likely to continue – and could define the future of AI for years to come.
    Niall is joined by tech journalist Will Guyatt to discuss the case and its repercussions.

    Burnham the 'clear favourite' | Is the UK at risk of Ebola? | MAFS UK allegations

    19/05/2026 | 11 min
    Andy Burnham isn’t even an MP but appears to already be campaigning to be the next prime minister - and if a latest opinion poll is anything to go by his confidence is justified.
    Meanwhile, Donald Trump says he has he instructed his administration to call off strikes on Iran that were scheduled for today.
    However, he warned he could unleash a “full, large scale assault” on the country at a “moment’s notice.”
    It comes as the World Health Organisation has declared the deadly outbreak of Ebola in Africa an international health emergency - but the UK is said to be facing a “low risk”.
    There’s been a shocking development in relation to one of the country’s most popular reality TV shows - with Channel 4 saying "very serious allegations of wrongdoing" have been made against a small number of past Married At First Sight UK contestants.
    Finally, Arsenal’s 1 - 0 victory over Burnley last night has brought them one step closer to a first Premier League title in more than 20 years.
    A title triumph for Arsenal would also end Pep Guardiola’s hopes of lifting a seventh Premier League trophy - as reports suggest the Sky Blues are preparing for his departure.
    Sophy and Wilf have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
