Cancer care: What can the NHS learn from Denmark?

Tue, 03 Feb 2026

Half of us will develop cancer at some point in our lives, according to Cancer Research UK. And the speed of a diagnosis can often be the difference between life and death.

Just a one-month delay can raise the risk of death by up to 10%. Yet in England, almost a third of cancer patients wait more than two months to start treatment after an urgent GP referral - twice as many as the target and a trend that’s getting worse.

As the Westminster government prepares to publish its new 10-year cancer plan - what can we learn from elsewhere in the world? In Denmark, for example, cancer waiting lists have virtually been eliminated and survival rates are rocketing.

Niall speaks to Sky’s health correspondent Ashish Joshi and Jesper Fisker from the Danish Cancer Society.

Andrew and Epstein: How will the royals respond?

Mon, 02 Feb 2026

It seemed inevitable there would be more damaging documents in the latest batch of the Epstein files relating to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

Neither the former prince, nor the wider Royal Family, have responded to this most recent tranche, in which Andrew is pictured on all fours, leaning over an unidentified woman.

So what else is inside the latest drop? What does it say about his relationship with the convicted sex offender? And how much further can Andrew fall?

Will Trump hang on to Kristi Noem?

Fri, 30 Jan 2026

From 'Snow Queen' to 'ICE Maiden' - how did a beauty pageant-winning 'farmgirl' from South Dakota become the public face of Donald Trump's immigration crackdown?

As the head of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem holds one of the highest offices in the US government - despite facing criticism after saying she shot her dog.

But will Ms Noem's love of the limelight also lead to her downfall, following the fatal shooting of two US citizens in Minneapolis by immigration officers she ultimately controls?

Niall is joined by Jon Schaff, a political science professor at Northern State University in South Dakota.

The terrifying online community targeting kids

Thu, 29 Jan 2026

An online network known as ‘The Com’ is targeting children and coercing them into acts of violence, self-harm and abuse.

A new report has revealed members – mostly aged between 11 and 25 – are groomed into hurting themselves or others to gain social status.

How worried should parents be and what are the signs your child might be involved?

Niall speaks to Sky’s Adele Robinson following her investigation into the online group.

WARNING: This report contains references to suicide, self-harm and sexual abuse which some may find distressing.

Do pubs have a future?

Wed, 28 Jan 2026

Pubs may have been given a discount on their business rates bills - but with many landlords still suffering a post-Covid hangover, does it go far enough?

Last year, it was reported that eight pubs are closing in the UK every week - so can anything be done to save the great British boozer?

And is the government solely to blame? After all, the younger generation now seem to prefer lifting weights over necking pints.

Niall is joined by pub landlord Simon Wade and Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UKHospitality.
