  • Why Trump might be about to get angry about elections
    Apr 10 2026

    Donald Trump's war in Iran has been polling badly among many of the groups that voted for him in 2024, and that matters as crucial midterm elections are just over six months away.

    These elections take place two years into the presidential cycle, with voters able to choose who runs Congress. Currently, the Republicans control both the Senate and the House of Representatives, giving the president freedom to enact his agenda.

    So how exactly do the midterms work and how much would change for Donald Trump if his Republican party has a bad night?

    Niall is joined by US correspondent and co-host of the Trump100 podcast, James Matthews.

  • Why (Kan)Ye will always be famous
    Apr 9 2026

    Kanye West is one of the 21st Century’s most talented musicians, but his controversial remarks are just as famous as his music – and his antisemitic comments have now got him banned from the UK.

    Wireless festival, which he was due to headline in London this summer, has been cancelled as a result.

    Since he burst onto the music scene in the early 2000s, Ye, as he is now known, has been breaking the mould – both as an artist and with his controversial opinions.

    This includes releasing a song called Heil Hitler, selling swastika T-shirts, saying slavery was a choice and supporting Diddy during his sex trafficking trial.

    Gareth Barlow speaks to music and culture journalist Nicolas Tyrell-Scott about why Ye remains popular, how much the music industry is responsible and will anything now change?

    Ye denies allegations of sexual assault.

  • Why does Iran think it’s won the war?
    Apr 8 2026

    Donald Trump has claimed a ‘complete victory’ in his war in Iran during a phone call to Sky News just hours after the two sides agreed a temporary ceasefire.

    But Iran is also declaring a win as it handed over a 10-point plan which includes maintaining control of the Strait of Hormuz and full US military withdrawal from the Middle East.

    So will the ceasefire last? Is that the end of free passage through the Strait of Hormuz? And what about Israel’s role?

    Gareth Barlow speaks to Sky News’ defence and security analyst Michael Clarke about who is really winning and what happens next.
