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. Producer: Natalie Ktena & Sam Gruet Editor: Mike Bovill

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? Niall speaks to Sky’s Royal Correspondent Rhiannon Mills Producer: Natalie Ktena Editor: Mike Bovill

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. Producers: Natalie Ktena, Soila Apparicio & Emily Hulme Editor: Mike Bovill

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.

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.

Sir Keir Starmer is heading to China for what will be the first visit by a British prime minister since Theresa May went in 2018. He’ll be accompanied by a plane full of business leaders as he hopes to improve the UK's trade and economic relations with China. But the UK already has a huge trade deficit with China – so what might the prime minister get in return? The visit also takes place against the backdrop of his approval of the new Chinese "mega" embassy in London and allegations of Chinese spying. To discuss the security concerns and how close a relationship the UK should have with the Chinese, Niall is joined from Beijing by The Times' China correspondent, Richard Spencer Producers: Tom Gillespie and Emily Hulme Editor: Wendy Parker

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced the biggest overhaul of the police service in England and Wales in nearly 200 years. Her reforms include reducing the number of forces, the creation of a "British FBI" and using data and AI to predict criminal activity before it happens. Some of this has been heard before - so exactly how radical are these reforms? And will they make forces fit to tackle the changing nature of crime? Niall is joined by Sky's crime commentator Martin Brunt.

Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham have been spotted in public for the first time since his explosive social media post about the rest of the Beckhams. Key to his complaint was how Nicola was treated by his parents - particularly at their wedding. David and Victoria have not responded to the claims but have been approached for comment. So who is Nicola Peltz and what happens next for the Peltz Beckhams? Niall speaks to the Daily Mirror's showbiz editor Amy Denman about Nicola Peltz's life as an heiress, actress and now as part of one of the most talked about couples on the planet.

In the same month he ordered strikes on Venezuela and threatened to seize Greenland, Donald Trump has been inviting countries to join his "Board of Peace". The US president and disruptor-in-chief has pitched the board as a mechanism to rebuild Gaza - yet its charter does not even mention the territory. Russia has been invited, while still waging war on Ukraine – so what is this so-called Board of Peace? Can it achieve a lasting solution for Palestine? And is Trump trying to replace the United Nations? Niall is joined by Sky’s Middle East correspondent, Adam Parsons.

Teenagers generally hate being told what to do – as any parent who’s tried getting them off their phones can testify. The government is now considering a social media ban on children under 16 – but the move has had mixed reviews since its introduction in Australia. What lessons can be learned over here? Would teenagers simply find a way around the ban? And is there a better way to keep children safe online? Jonathan Samuels is joined by Sky’s tech reporter Mickey Carroll. Producer: Natalie Ktena Editor: Mike Bovill

It's where world leaders rub shoulders with billionaires while former footballers clink champagne flutes with film stars and tech bros. President Trump is the star turn at the Swiss ski resort of Davos for the annual World Economic Forum. But what exactly is the World Economic Forum? And what's the purpose of this glittering get-together of the global elite? Gareth Barlow speaks to Sky's business and economics correspondent Paul Kelso from the heart of the action in Davos. Producers: Tom Gillespie & Natalie Ktena Editor: Mike Bovill

Is Donald Trump's threat to impose more tariffs on countries trying to block his plan to buy Greenland the last straw for the strained relationship with the UK? Sir Keir Starmer is walking a diplomatic tightrope - on the one hand rebuking the president for his threats, while on the other reiterating the UK and US remain the closest of allies. But could this mark a point of no return for the man once described as the 'Trump whisperer'? Niall speaks to the UK's first national security adviser, Lord Ricketts, about the history of the alliance between the UK and the US and whether Sir Keir can successfully keep it intact, at this delicate moment in history. Producer: Tom Gillespie Editor: Mike Bovill

Bonus Episode: Prince Harry's final showdown with the British media is due to start this week. The duke is set to give evidence in court on Thursday in his case against the Daily Mail publishers. Harry, alongside a group of claimants including Sir Elton John, Liz Hurley and Baroness Lawrence, has accused Associated Newspapers Limited of hiring private detectives to place listening devices inside cars and of accessing private records and phone conversations. Associated Newspapers denies all the allegations, calling them "preposterous smears". What does this case mean for his stated aim of cleaning up the British press? And how will it further affect his relationship with the rest of the royal family? Niall speaks to Sky correspondents Laura Bundock and Katie Spencer, who will be covering the case. Producers: Natalie Ktena & Tom Gillespie Editor: Mike Bovill

The reinvention of Robert Jenrick reached what could be a career-defining milestone after he was sacked from the Tory party and walked into the arms of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. The manner of his departure created a political earthquake - but his defection will surprise few who have been following his career. From his drastic weight loss to climbing lampposts with flaggers - who is Mr Jenrick and how has he tried to scale the political ladder?

While the world's attention has been on Greenland, should Antarctica also be in the geopolitical spotlight? The US has been withdrawing its influence over the continent, allowing Russia and China to expand their presence. Meanwhile, Antarctica's vast ice sheets keep melting and its research community is in a battle against time to understand why it's happening so quickly. Sky's science editor Tom Clarke speaks to Niall about his recent trip to the seventh continent. Producers: Natalie Ktena & Tom Gillespie Editor: Mike Bovill
