Should Britain trust China?

Tue, 27 Jan 2026

Sir Keir Starmer is heading to China for what will be the first visit by a British prime minister since Theresa May went in 2018.

He’ll be accompanied by a plane full of business leaders as he hopes to improve the UK's trade and economic relations with China.

But the UK already has a huge trade deficit with China – so what might the prime minister get in return?

The visit also takes place against the backdrop of his approval of the new Chinese "mega" embassy in London and allegations of Chinese spying.

To discuss the security concerns and how close a relationship the UK should have with the Chinese, Niall is joined from Beijing by The Times' China correspondent, Richard Spencer

Can coppers cope with 'modern crime'?

Mon, 26 Jan 2026

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced the biggest overhaul of the police service in England and Wales in nearly 200 years.

Her reforms include reducing the number of forces, the creation of a "British FBI" and using data and AI to predict criminal activity before it happens.

Some of this has been heard before - so exactly how radical are these reforms? And will they make forces fit to tackle the changing nature of crime?

Niall is joined by Sky's crime commentator Martin Brunt.

Is Trump’s Board of Peace just a power play?

Thu, 22 Jan 2026

In the same month he ordered strikes on Venezuela and threatened to seize Greenland, Donald Trump has been inviting countries to join his "Board of Peace".

The US president and disruptor-in-chief has pitched the board as a mechanism to rebuild Gaza - yet its charter does not even mention the territory.

Russia has been invited, while still waging war on Ukraine – so what is this so-called Board of Peace? Can it achieve a lasting solution for Palestine? And is Trump trying to replace the United Nations?

Niall is joined by Sky’s Middle East correspondent, Adam Parsons.

Is a social media ban workable?

Wed, 21 Jan 2026

Teenagers generally hate being told what to do – as any parent who’s tried getting them off their phones can testify.

The government is now considering a social media ban on children under 16 – but the move has had mixed reviews since its introduction in Australia. What lessons can be learned over here?

Would teenagers simply find a way around the ban? And is there a better way to keep children safe online?

Jonathan Samuels is joined by Sky’s tech reporter Mickey Carroll.
