    Putin vs the Prince: Why Harry’s highlighting the plight of Ukraine

    23/04/2026 | 17 min
    Prince Harry has warned the world not to grow “numb” to Russia’s war in Ukraine during a surprise visit to Kyiv.
    The former British army captain also called on the “American leadership” to honour its international obligations, a thinly-veiled swipe at Donald Trump.
    The fighting rages on in Ukraine, while much of the world’s attention is focused on the war on Iran.
    The US has been a key backer of Kyiv but is now distracted by a conflict of its own. So, what is going on in Ukraine and what are the UK and Europe doing to help?
    Niall is joined by Sky’s military analyst Sean Bell.

    Why the dangers of Mythos AI may be a myth

    22/04/2026 | 15 min
    AI giant Anthropic has chosen not to release its latest model, Mythos Preview, to the public. The product was pulled after testing showed its unprecedented strengths in hacking.
    Instead, Mythos has been made available to a small number of big tech companies including Amazon and Microsoft to help protect their software, rather than pick it apart.
    So, has the day arrived which many have feared – where AI could change the world as we know it? Or are the scare stories around Mythos merely a myth?
    Niall is joined by Rowland Manthorpe, technology correspondent at Sky News, to discuss the potential dangers as well as how safe the UK is from the threat of AI.

    Why the government's civil war with the civil service matters

    21/04/2026 | 17 min
    Sir Keir Starmer's relationship with the civil service has broken down following the sacking of Sir Olly Robbins.
    The former top civil servant at the Foreign Office told parliament there was a "dismissive approach" to security vetting from No 10, but the prime minister maintains it was Robbins who made "an error of judgement".
    So, what's at stake when the inner workings of government grind to a halt?
    Lord Peter Ricketts, who is also a former permanent secretary at the Foreign Office, joins Niall to discuss what happens when things go wrong and whether Starmer can repair relations with the civil servants who deliver his mandate, before it's too late.

    Why Cuba is collapsing under Trump’s blockade

    20/04/2026 | 19 min
    First it was Venezuela, then Iran. Is Cuba next on Donald Trump's hit list?
    The US navy has been anchored off the Caribbean coast since the start of the year, preventing supplies of oil and food from the outside world.
    As a consequence, the island has been brought to its knees - with electrical blackouts, food rationing and fears for the future.
    Sky News chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay joins Niall to discuss life under the blockade in Havana and what fate awaits the nation, as President Trump threatens military intervention.

    Why Mandelson is causing more problems for Starmer

    17/04/2026 | 16 min
    Top civil servant Olly Robbins has been sacked after his department did not inform the prime minister that Lord Mandelson had failed security vetting for the role of US ambassador.
    Opposition parties are calling on the prime minister to resign but Sir Keir Starmer is insisting he wasn’t told, in an "unforgivable" omission.
    He's due to speak to MPs in parliament on Monday, and address the accusations he misled them over the process of Mandelson’s appointment.
    But who is Olly Robbins, the man who has lost his job over the latest Mandelson revelation and is he being used as a fall guy? And how toxic will the row be for Sir Keir?
    Niall talks to hosts of fellow Sky podcast Politics at Sam and Anne’s, Anne McElvoy, executive editor at Politico and Sky’s deputy political editor, Sam Coates.
