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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Days before Donald Trump’s inauguration Mark Zuckerberg has announced META is scrapping third-party fact-checking which he says will 'curtail censorship'. But could this lead to a bonfire of misinformation?

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is not having the easiest time reining in the economy. Last week saw markets turn against Labour's economic strategy - with the cost of government borrowing surging and the pound dropping to its lowest value against the dollar since November 2023.
On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our economics and data editor Ed Conway to understand what is causing the UK's growth to flatline. Is it a result of "global trends" as the government would have us believe? Or are the troubled chancellor's budget rules too tight and starting to unravel?
And as the global economic landscape continues to respond to world events - including the imminent arrival of a second Donald Trump term - what can the beleaguered chancellor do to ensure the economy bounces back?

The UK's first safer drug consumption room will open in Glasgow's East End on Monday. It will allow users to take illegal substances under medical supervision in the hope they will get help with their addiction. Known as the Thistle, it will be open 365 days a year from 9am to 9pm.
But Scotland has the worst rate of drug deaths in Europe and with this facility finally ready after 10 years in the making, some are questioning if it will reduce drug deaths.
Niall Paterson speaks to our Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies, who has been to look inside the service and shares more about how it will work.
Plus, Professor Catriona Matheson who specialises in substance use at the University of Stirling and is a former lead of Scotland's drug deaths task force, joins Niall to discuss the costs and potential benefits.

Weight loss injections like Wegovy and Mounjaro are being taken by so many people in the UK that obesity statistics could fall for the first time ever.
More than 500,000 people in the UK are now on the drugs and could lose between 15-20% of their weight in just a few months. But around 95% of all patients using the medication are buying it privately, while the rollout on the NHS remains slow.
On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our science and medical correspondent Thomas Moore, who has been looking into the incredible success of the drug on the private market, and also speaks to Sarah Le Brocq, who as well as advising the NHS on the cost-effectiveness of weight loss drugs, also uses Mounjaro herself.

A torrent of posts from X owner Elon Musk has thrown an unexpected spotlight on the issue of historical grooming gangs in the last week.
In the early 2010s, dozens of men, the majority of British Pakistani origin, were convicted of crimes including rape, sex trafficking, and child sexual exploitation that had gone undetected for years. The true number of victims is still unknown.
On today's Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our home editor Jason Farrell and Lucy Duckworth, from the Survivors Trust, herself a survivor of child abuse, to explain why the recommendations of numerous inquiries into the failings that allowed the abuse to go on for years have still not been implemented.
The Survivors Trust runs a free, confidential national helpline 7 days a week for survivors of rape or sexual abuse and violence aged 16+. You can call 0808 801 0818 or text 07860 022 956 for support.

As Winter sickness hits the NHS, the prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has unveiled the government's plans to support the service with a new partnership with the private sector.
Labour want to get waiting times for non-urgent care back down to the target of 18 weeks over the next five years, with Sir Keir saying the new arrangement will mean "resources of private hospitals [are] more readily available to the NHS".
The plan includes the development of new "community diagnostic centres". Ashish Joshi, our health correspondent, speaks to Niall from one in a shopping centre in Wood Green, north London.
Niall is also joined by Dr Rob Findlay, a contributor to the Health Service Journal and specialist in NHS demand and capacity planning and waiting times, to discuss whether the plans will actually help the service and its staff.
