It feels like we're having to pay more and more for the basics every month. New figures released this week showed food inflation has reached an 18-month high of 4.2% - pushed up by household favourites like chocolate, eggs and butter. The energy price cap is also rising, again. So, when will we start to feel a bit better off? Why is the hangover of the cost of living crisis still lingering? And as the nights draw in, what can be done to survive another cold winter? On today’s episode, Jonathan Samuels is joined by business correspondent Paul Kelso - who explains why prices remain stubbornly high - and Money blogger Jess Sharp, who offers some advice and tips to struggling households. Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse and Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill
The total fertility rate for England and Wales - defined as the number of children a woman can expect to have over her lifetime - has fallen to another record low. It's the third year in a row the rate has fallen, and the biggest decline in fertility is among those aged between 25 and 29, increasing the average age of parents to 31 for mothers and 33.9 for fathers. So, why aren't people in Britain having more babies? On today’s Sky News Daily, Gareth Barlow is joined by leading demographer Paul Morland to discuss why people in Britain are having fewer children on average, and what could be done to reverse the trend. Producers: Araminta Parker and Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill
Reform UK has outlined its plan to tackle the small boats crisis, which would include detaining and deporting all illegal migrants arriving in the UK.

On today's Sky News Daily, Sophy Ridge is joined by Sky's deputy political editor, Sam Coates, to discuss whether Reform's proposals could work. Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill
This week, Finnish President Alexander Stubb found himself at the seat of world leaders at the White House, discussing the best route to peace in Ukraine. How? He mastered the art of befriending Trump. Tamara Cohen chats to former political adviser in the Finnish government, Joel Linnainmäki, and former diplomat at the Danish embassy in Washington during Trump's first term, Jonas Parello-Plesner, about Stubb's trajectory in the lead up to this huge political moment. Producers: Emma Rae Woodhouse, Evan Hall and Emily Hulme Editors: Mike Bovill and Philly Beaumont
Russian oil used to flow into Europe. Now, it's going to India and China instead. So, could Donald Trump's latest tariff threat against those countries put a squeeze on Russia's economic pipeline and help bring an end to the war in Ukraine? Despite the warm words and strong handshakes at their Alaskan summit, the Trump White House seems prepared to try new ways to hit Vladimir Putin in the pocket. But has the failure of the western sanction regime to cripple the Russian economy shown India and China that Trump's trade war bark is worse than his bite? On today's episode, Gareth Barlow speaks to Sky's economics and data editor Ed Conway about how the Russian energy landscape has changed and the potential impact on peace in Ukraine. Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill
Islamic State is on the rise, once more a threat to the international community. Driven from its strongholds in Syria and Iraq, the terror group has been building a new base in the mountains of Somalia. Sky’s special correspondent Alex Crawford has visited the cave network where Somali authorities believe the ISIS resurgence began - funded by crime and cryptocurrency in a sophisticated twist to their terror regime. Alex joined Niall Paterson on The Daily to discuss what she discovered and what it means for the UK and beyond. You can watch the full documentary, Hunting for ISIS: A Warning From Africa, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdGr5uxqfak Producer: Olivia McGhie and Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill
Children’s exposure to online porn is higher than ever before. Will new laws designed to keep them safe finally make a difference or end up making matters worse? Campaigner Ian Russell – whose daughter, Molly, took her own life at the age of 14 after being exposed to harmful content on social media – has criticised sites for still allowing a “tsunami” of inappropriate content to flood the feeds of young users. Meanwhile, critics say the Online Safety Act has gone too far in curtailing democracy and freedom of speech. So, is the legislation fit for purpose? On today’s episode, Tamara Cohen speaks to the Children’s Commissioner, Dame Rachel de Souza, about what more needs to be done to keep young people safe. Plus, free speech campaigner, Toby Young, argues that parents – rather than the state – should be responsible for what their children view online. Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill
Russia and Ukraine have been fighting for control of the Donbas for years, and it has seen some of the most intensive fighting during the conflict. But why is this eastern region of Ukraine, which borders Russia, so important to President Putin? Tamara Cohen speaks to our security and defence analyst Professor Michael Clarke and our international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn, who's in Kyiv, about why this area is so central to a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse Editor: Wendy Parker
Brooklyn Beckham renewed his vows earlier this month to his American heiress wife Nicola Peltz - her family was there but not his. It added to speculation that there is a deep rift in the Beckhams' relationship with their eldest child, after Brooklyn did not appear at any of the celebrations for his father David’s 50th birthday. Joining Niall Paterson to discuss whether this alleged rift could cause lasting damage to Brand Beckham are Clemmie Moodie, assistant editor at The Sun, and Mark Borkowski, PR expert and media industry commentator. Producers: Soila Apparicio and Emily Hulme Editor: Wendy Parker
Ukrainians are into their fourth year of fighting to defend their country from Russia, they have suffered huge casualties and are exhausted from the war effort. But does that mean they are willing to compromise to achieve a peace deal? And after President Zelenskyy’s treatment in the Oval Office, do they think Donald Trump is the right man to negotiate their future? Niall Paterson speaks to Ukrainian MP Lisa Yasko about her hopes for the talks in Alaska and also to Kyiv-based journalist Peter Dickinson about what sort of peace deal Ukrainians would accept and what daily life is like for people there. Producer: Emily Hulme and Matt MusindiEditor: Wendy Parker
It’s results time for 700,000 A-level and T-level students. It’ll mean final decisions about their future – and whether university is the best option for their finances and their career. With the huge cost of a three or four-year course, squeezed graduate incomes and fast changes to the job market due to AI, is a degree worth it? Niall Paterson speaks to business and economics correspondent Paul Kelso about whether the cost of a degree outweighs its reward and just what has changed since Tony Blair vowed to get 50% of school-leavers going to university in 1999. Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Paul Stanworth
Who are the Israeli settlers forcing Palestinians from their homes? Chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay has been in the West Bank, witnessing the Israeli settlers who are forcing Palestinians from their homes. He also sees how the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) is protecting the growing number of Israelis claiming this land is theirs. Stuart meets one Palestinian man who left for work and when he returned home, he found it had been taken over by Israeli settlers. He also meets the settlers who say this land belongs to them.

Anas Al-Sharif was one of five journalists among seven people killed in an Israeli air strike on Gaza City. The five worked for the broadcaster Al Jazeera. Israel says Sharif was the head of a Hamas cell but has only produced limited evidence about its claims. Al Jazeera rejected the accusations and said the strike was a "blatant" attack on press freedom. On this episode, Niall Paterson and Sky News international correspondent Diana Magnay look at Anas Al-Sharif's career, Israel's claims and the international condemnation of what happened. Producer: Natalie Ktena and Emily HulmeEditor: Paul Stanworth
Arthur Knight was an Irishman, wrongly arrested – he claimed – whilst recovering from a coma in a Glasgow hospital. Except “Arthur Knight” didn’t exist. His real name is Nicholas Rossi – a convicted sex offender, originally from the United States, who is now facing trial in Utah on two further counts of rape. But for years, he attempted to convince Scottish authorities he was the victim of a wild conspiracy. Rossi’s extradition hearing was covered at the time by Sky News’ correspondent, James Matthews, who joins Niall Paterson on The Daily to relive those extraordinary events ahead of the start of his new trial.

He’s been warned against a full military occupation by 600 former Israeli military officials. But after 22 months of war, that’s exactly what Benjamin Netanyahu wants. What would long-term occupation mean for Gazans, Israel, the Middle East and the world? What would it be like for those living in Gaza? Will the Israeli hostages be returned? And is there any other option in Netanyahu’s eyes? Niall Paterson is joined on the Sky News Daily by a Palestinian aid worker in Gaza and Professor Yossi Mekelberg, senior consulting fellow for the Middle East and North Africa programme at Chatham House. Producer: Alix Culbertson Editor: Mike Bovill
No evidence of bullying, misogyny or racism. On the face of it, good news for the Duke of Sussex. But there's still plenty of fallout from a very public row ignited by the woman still in charge of the charity set up by Harry in honour of his mother, that he's now walked away from. Earlier this year, Sentebale's chair, Dr Sophie Chandauka, used an interview with Sky News' Trevor Phillips to accuse Harry of "harassment and bullying at scale". The prince strenuously denied those claims and has now been cleared by the Charity Commission, which found no evidence to back up Dr Chandauka's accusations. However, it did find the internal - yet very public - dispute at Sentebale "severely impacted the charity's reputation". So, what next for Harry and the charity that was once so close to his heart? Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's royal correspondent, Rhiannon Mills, to discuss the fallout. Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse Editor: Mike Bovill

Mars is a long way to come by balloon. Don't be daft they're coming from China or across the border fro Russia. The one Canada shot down might even be American.
This guy Kurt is unbelievably dumb. "I understand the fear that a no-fly zone could lead to WWIII but Putin won't do anything because he doesn't want WWIII either. And we need to make a statement to Putin telling him that the use of any weapons of mass destruction is unacceptable."
These abortion pills aren't safe at all. They are deadly dangerous for the defenseless and voiceless little baby!
