Silent prayer and religious chanting: Why the UK is protecting abortion clinics

Starting today, new protection zones around abortion clinics will make it illegal to harass, obstruct, or attempt to influence anyone seeking or providing abortion services within 150 metres. But what does this mean for women accessing clinics and the potential impacts on pro-life protests?

Trump at Madison Square Garden: Rally or reckoning?
10/28/2024
Donald Trump’s decision to hold a rally at Madison Square Garden, in the heart of Manhattan, nine days before US voters go to the polls has been compared to the 1939 pro-Nazi German American Bund. Is this a fair comparison?
On this episode of the Sky News Daily, host Darren McCaffrey explores the significance of the rally, the political climate surrounding it, and the polarising reactions it has generated.
He’s joined by US correspondent James Matthews, who was at the rally, and Chris Wilson, a former research director for the Ted Cruz for President campaign and founder of WPA Intelligence, a conservative-right community research and analytics firm.

USA '24: Why Arab-American voters are swinging behind Trump
10/25/2024
With just 11 days to go until the US election, Sky's dedicated team of correspondents goes on the road to gauge what voters in key swing states make of the choice for president.
Mark Stone is in Michigan, where Arab-American voters are a key demographic seemingly swinging towards Trump. Some in the community feel abandoned by the Democrats because of their approach to Gaza, and as the consequence of a gradual leftward creep by the party away from socially conservative values.
And what happens when you have a candidate who fought to overturn the result of the last US election, who is already claiming his opponents are cheating at this one, and whose supporters are challenging the process through the courts? Our correspondent James Matthews is in Atlanta, Georgia, to find out.
Plus, Martha Kelner looks at why billionaire Elon Musk is awarding some registered voters a million dollars.

'You are not my King!': Will Charles be Australia's last monarch?
10/21/2024
The King and Queen are in Australia for his first overseas visit since becoming monarch. But as they met Australian parliamentarians in Canberra, it wasn't exactly the reception they were expecting, let alone hoping for.

It is a view shared by many Australians – indigenous or otherwise. Niall Paterson is joined by our royal correspondent Laura Bundock, who's in Canberra, to discuss republicanism.

Liam Payne: Fame in a flash and why it wouldn't happen again
10/17/2024
Former One Direction star Liam Payne has died at 31.
Payne had been in the limelight since 14 and formed One Direction at 16 as part of reality show X Factor. With the band, his rise to fame was swift, and they became one of the most successful pop groups worldwide.
But some former X Factor contestants have remarked about a lack of support while on the show, something about which Dean Piper, former showbiz columnist at the Mirror, tells Niall Paterson, "upon reflection, I'm sure that there's a lot of people that look back on those times that think 'God, we didn't really look after them at all'."
Our arts and entertainment editor Claire Gregory also joins Niall to talk about Liam Payne’s story and discuss the challenges of fame.

The weight loss drug with a waitlist
10/14/2024
Sky News has revealed thousands of people with severe obesity are being denied access to effective treatment, partly because of a slow NHS rollout of the weight loss jab Wegovy.
Just 800 of the estimated 13,500 patients eligible to start receiving Wegovy had been prescribed the injection through hospital weight loss services by the end of April. Studies show people lose on average 15% of their body weight within months of starting treatment.
On today's Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to our science correspondent Thomas Moore about why it's so difficult to get weight loss drugs in the UK, and the impact on patients who've been denied the jab.
