  • Roman Abramovich: From rags, to riches, to 'ripping off' Ukraine
    Jun 6 2025
    The government is threatening to take former Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich to court over the proceeds of the sale of the club.

    Three years after being sanctioned for the oligarch's links to the Russian president, £2.5bn remains frozen in a bank account. The funds are earmarked for Ukrainian aid, but where will they end up?

    In today's episode, Niall Paterson talks to the financier and author Bill Bowder and Sky's sports correspondent Rob Harris about how Abramovich went from orphan to oligarch and where sanctions leave him today.

    Lawyers for Abramovich did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

  • Weight loss jabs - what else don't we know?
    Jun 5 2025
    The government's health agency, the MHRA, is warning women that they shouldn't use weight loss jabs while pregnant and that the drugs can also affect the reliability of the pill, which has led to a rise in so-called "Ozempic babies".

    On today’s Sky News Daily Niall Paterson talks to Dr Nikita Kanani, a GP and former medical director for primary care at NHS England, about the risks, whether there are other concerns about using them and if there should be tighter restrictions on online sales of the jabs.

  • Where’s Rachel Reeves getting her bus money?
    Jun 4 2025

    The chancellor presents the spending review next week where she will outline how the budget will be divided for government departments between 2026 and 2029. Rachel Reeves says she has an extra £113bn of capital to play with.

    But with so many promises and projects dependent on the cash, how does she decide who will win and who will lose?

    On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky News’ deputy political editor, Sam Coates, who has used AI to predict how the chancellor might spend the cash.

I watched the coverage on tv by Stuart and couldn’t believe what we were seeing. Words are inadequate & I find it hard to understand how we have come to this dire situation. I cannot praise the filming team enough for risking their own safety to making sure the world knows how horrendous the real situation is It was hard to watch and I have been moved to tears by the broadcasts & can only imagine how they must all be processing this. The filming was outstanding on every level & clearly amazing teamwork. I’ve never listened to a podcast before so thank you for inspiring me to find & listen to the extra story behind the scenes.
