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".

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to shut down USAID, the world's largest single donor to international aid programs, with thousands of staff being withdrawn as Mr Musk says it is "beyond repair".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.

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.

A Sky News investigation has discovered elderly people in care homes across the country are being left unwashed in soiled sheets, unable to reach food and water, and suffering falls when left alone.
The investigation also uncovered huge problems with how concerns about care homes are investigated – and the way these homes are rated by the Care Quality Commission.
On this episode, Niall Paterson speaks to social affairs correspondent Becky Johnson, who explains the issue of neglect at care homes and explores whether the system designed to support better care is broken.

After having introduced trade tariffs on Canada and Mexico over the weekend, President Donald Trump is now threatening import taxes on EU goods. He has, however, said the UK would stay tariff free “for now”.
Sir Keir Starmer says Britain won’t need to choose between the two, saying it’s important to work with both on areas including trade and security.
On the Sky News Daily, Niall is joined by our deputy political editor Sam Coates and US correspondent Mark Stone to break down how Starmer might be able to navigate the push and pull between the EU and Trump, for Britain's economic future.

“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.

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.
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.

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?
