  • Was an antisemitic attack in Australia inevitable?
    Dec 15 2025

    The world was shocked to see the scenes at Bondi Beach – one of Australia’s most iconic locations – after 15 people were shot dead and dozens more injured when two gunmen opened fire on members of the Jewish community at a Hanukkah celebration.

    What did intelligence and law authorities know of the suspects – a father and son - and what more could have been done to confront a rise in antisemitic attacks across Australia?

    Niall is joined by Sky’s Nicole Johnston – who was at the scene within an hour – and finds out more about the sense of inevitability and foreboding amongst Australian Jews with Josh Roose – an associate professor of politics, specialising in extremism, at Deakin University.

  • Can the NHS handle ‘unprecedented’ super flu season?
    Dec 11 2025

    The NHS is warning of a worst-case scenario over Christmas as an "unprecedented wave of super flu" drives infections across the country.

    An average of 2,660 patients were in hospital a day with flu last week - the highest ever for this time of year and up 55% on the week before.

    There is no peak in sight - so what's caused the predominant H3N2 strain to emerge and can the NHS cope with the extra pressure?

    Niall is joined by NHS GP and health educator Dr Raj Arora and Sky's science correspondent Thomas Moore.

  • Gambling addiction: The struggle for support
    Dec 10 2025

    Kiki Marriott is one of the thousands of people in the UK whose life has spiralled out of control because of gambling addiction.

    However, research has shown that while people from ethnic minorities like Kiki are actually less likely to gamble than their white counterparts – they are more likely to suffer harm from gambling and less likely to seek help.

    Why is this? And what can be done to help those most in need feel more comfortable with getting support?

    Niall is joined by Kiki and Sky News correspondent Emma Birchley.

    Warning: This podcast contains references to addiction, substance abuse and suicide.

    As we head towards the first anniversary of Trump’s second term in office, what has been the impact of those tariffs both in the USA and around the world?

    Niall is joined by Sky’s economics and data editor, Ed Conway, who has been on the road to see how Trump’s tariffs have affected everyone from small businesses to global conglomerates.

  • Is the NHS failing women and babies?
    Dec 8 2025

    “Too many women and babies are not getting the safe, compassionate care they deserve.”

    The starkest of warnings has been issued by the president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Professor Ranee Thakar, about the failures in maternity services across the country.

    A new Sky documentary, Birth Trauma: The women who weren’t listened to, tells the stories of three women who were failed by the NHS.

    But why is maternity care so bad in the UK? And what can be done to improve the experiences of women and babies?

    Niall is joined by Leah Hazard, a practising NHS midwife and bestselling author of Hard Pushed: A Midwife’s Story, to understand what leads to negative birth experiences and what changes she hopes a national inquiry will recommend.
