33-year-old defender Lucy Bronze has been at the heart of the England team for over a decade, with 140 caps so far. She played a crucial role in helping the Lionesses win back-to-back European titles - somehow managing to play the entire tournament in Switzerland with a broken leg.  
 
Shirts with her name on the back are amongst the most commonly worn by England fans, a testament to her contribution to the growth of the women's game. 
 
On today's episode, Niall Paterson learns about Bronze's work ethic and the challenges she's overcome, with former teammate Lianne Sanderson and Sky News sports presenter Jacquie Beltrao.

The doctors' union, the British Medical Association, is calling for a pay rise of 29.2% to reverse "pay erosion" since 2008/09. The government has offered 5.4%. 

In previous strikes, around 1.5 million appointments were cancelled or rescheduled, but this time hospitals have been told to cancel non-urgent work only in "exceptional circumstances".  

In today’s episode, Niall Paterson talks to Sky’s health correspondent Ashish Joshi about how the NHS will deal with the walkout and also to resident doctor Bhasha Mukherjee about why she voted for strike action.

Warning: This episode contains themes of racism and homophobia which listeners may find upsetting.
 
No gays, no Jews, and definitely no non-whites. It’s messaging that reminds us of a segregated United States – a time that apparently ended in the 1960s. But a community in Arkansas, called Return to the Land, wants to establish a whites-only town, and think they have the legal standing to do so. 
 
The group says it’s about freedom and community - but critics say it’s “pure white supremacist rhetoric”.  

Tom Cheshire, our data and forensics' correspondent, went to visit this whites-only community in Arkansas, and joins host Niall Paterson to tell him about the people he met. Niall also speaks to Dr Heidi Beirich, an expert on the American and European far-right, about Return to the Land’s ideology, and why white nationalism is on the rise in the US.

In this episode, Niall Paterson asks Sky's business correspondent Paul Kelso if after  decades of ill-treatment, finally can new regulation bring our water back to health.  
  
Plus, the Consumer Council for Water’s chief executive Mike Keil looks at whether public confidence in water can ever be restored.

Teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has been flagged as football's next superstar.  

At just 18-years-old, he has already helped Barcelona FC to success in the Spanish league LaLiga and played a pivotal role in his home nation's triumph at Euro 2024. He's also been awarded the No.10 jersey, previously worn by none-other-than Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho. 

But the early success has come at the cost of extreme scrutiny. Yamal's lavish 18th birthday celebrations were overshadowed by the threat of legal action from a disability activist group after a group of people with dwarfism were hired to entertain guests.  

Semra Hunter has been covering Spanish football for over 15 years, and joins host Niall Paterson to talk about Yamal's stellar career so far. Plus, expert in sport psychology Professor Andrew Lane discusses the impact of sports stardom on a person so young.

Elon Musk's Tesla faces the loss of billions of dollars in government subsidies, following his fallout with Donald Trump. 

This is after the president cut state support for green industries. Subsidies have been central to Tesla's success from upstart manufacturer to the world's largest vehicle maker in less than 20 years. But now the president's cuts could leave a significant gap in its future earnings.  

Sky's business correspondent Paul Kelso and Kate Schneider from our Data and Forensics unit have been looking into the Tesla business to figure out how it makes money.

"John" is a convicted sex offender. "Ava" is his daughter. She was only told about her father's crimes weeks after his arrest. But the impact of those crimes could last a lifetime.

Online sex offenders receive counselling as part of their rehabilitation, as do their victims. However, there is currently no support for the families of those perpetrators – despite the devastation they have caused.

In today's Sky News Daily, our correspondent Katerina Vittozzi tells us about her in-depth interviews with both John and Ava (not their real names) and examines the system that offers more help to offenders than those they leave behind.

It was a mistake that endangered thousands of people who had supported British forces in Afghanistan - and the Afghans' families.

For the first time, the Ministry of Defence has admitted it was responsible for a data breach that has been kept a secret for years - at huge expense to taxpayers - with the help of a super injunction that prevented media or parliamentary scrutiny.

Almost 7,000 Afghan nationals are being relocated to the UK following the blunder by the British military.

Mark Austin is joined by Sky’s security and defence editor Deborah Haynes, as well as one of the lawyers representing many of those affected by the leak.

The BBC breached its own editorial rules when it did not explain that a 13-year-old used to narrate a documentary about Gaza was, in fact, the son of a Hamas official. 

A review has found that the independent production company, Hoyo Films, bears most of the responsibility for what happened – but that BBC bosses should have had more oversight of the film. The corporation says it is taking action but, so far, nobody has lost their job.

However, it is creating a new management role called 'Director of News Documentaries' as a result of the review. Niall Paterson speaks to Sky's correspondent Katie Spencer about the BBC's response – and former culture secretary John Whittingdale tells the podcast that he's concerned the corporation doesn’t seem to learn from its mistakes.
