  • Are the Paris Olympics safe?

    Are the Paris Olympics safe?
    Jul 26 2024
    As Paris prepares for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games, arsonists have targeted France's high-speed rail network causing travel chaos.

    The French government has mobilised its intelligence and security services in response to the "malicious acts", but questions are being raised over the preparedness for the games, and if a heavy security presence could impact the experience of the 11 million visitors expected over the next fortnight.

    On the Sky News Daily, host Niall Paterson is joined by our Europe correspondent, Adam Parsons, and Steve Park, an international security analyst who worked on security at the London 2012 Olympics, to assess the French response to the security threat.

  • Charlotte Dujardin: Why did the whipping video come out now?

    Charlotte Dujardin: Why did the whipping video come out now?
    Jul 24 2024
    Team GB's Charlotte Dujardin could have become the country's most-decorated female Olympian in Paris.

    But she's withdrawn from the dressage after a video emerged of her whipping a horse 24 times in one minute - which she says is "out of character" and an "error of judgment".

    Some have questioned why the video has emerged now - at least two years after it was filmed - with claims the timing is "suspicious" days before the Paris games.

    On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to sports correspondent Rob Harris. He's also joined by dressage rider and trainer of Olympic and Paralympic medallists Pammy Hutton to discuss typical equestrian practices and techniques.

  • How much trouble is Strictly Come Dancing in?

    How much trouble is Strictly Come Dancing in?
    Jul 23 2024
    It's one of television's most successful shows ever and this year's series was meant to be all about celebrating its 20th anniversary.

    But controversy has hit the BBC dancing contest in recent weeks. Two male dancers have left the show amid allegations of misconduct, and last week it was announced production staff will chaperone all rehearsals from the next series.

    The BBC's annual report was released today and its director-general Tim Davie apologised as he addressed the Strictly controversy, saying the corporation "will never tolerate unacceptable behaviour".

    Host Niall Paterson is joined by our entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer and TV critic Scott Bryan to discuss how the BBC has handled the crisis and Strictly's future.

    It’s been an extraordinary day of cancelled flights, disrupted businesses, problems for healthcare and TV stations not being able to get on air (ahem).

    The Baird Inquiry was set up to look into the treatment of people in the custody of Greater Manchester Police, following a Sky News investigation by our home affairs editor Jason Farrell.
