Can AI compress the years long research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Isomorphic Labs' and Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the structure of molecules — Jaderberg explains how this new technology frees up researchers' time and resources to better understand the real, messy world and tackle the next frontiers of science, medicine and more.

Can anything stop the ketamine crisis? 15:17

1 day тому15:17

15:17

Incontinence and chronic pain are just some of the life-altering effects caused by heavy ketamine use – which is at record levels. The drug, used in clinical settings as an anaesthetic, sedative and pain reliever, can create hallucinations in users. But those who become addicted to ketamine also face severe bladder and kidney problems. As the government considers reclassifying ketamine to a Class A substance, Shingi Mararike, our North of England correspondent, has been speaking to people suffering life-changing health consequences, and the people trying to help them. He joins Niall Paterson on the Sky News Daily to share more about the use of the drug. Plus, Dr Caroline Copeland, a senior lecturer in pharmacology and toxicology at King's College London and director of the National Programme on Substance Use Mortality, talks to Niall about why the discussion on ketamine needs to go beyond criminalisation.

After claiming back-to-back European titles, the Lionesses are now the first senior England football side to win a major tournament away from home. The team had to overcome physical and psychological adversity throughout the tournament – from poor performances and penalty drama to a player being subjected to horrendous racial abuse. So how did inspirational manager, Sarina Wiegman, beat the odds once more? On today's episode, our sports correspondent, Rob Harris, relives the highs and lows of Euro 2025 and we speak to the former FA Head of Women’s Football, Baroness Sue Campbell – one of the main architects of the Lionesses’ success.

Why is Lucy Bronze the Lionesses' golden girl? 14:53

14:53

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.

Doctors strike – what's different this time? 18:17

6 днів тому18:17

18:17

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.

How Ozzy Osbourne made Birmingham the birthplace of metal 17:27

Ozzy Osbourne made a musical genre. For millions of metal fans, Ozzy and Black Sabbath came up with the sound which influenced countless others. Heavy metal will always be linked with Birmingham – Ozzy's home city, where he returned to perform in early July. On this Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson looks at how a working-class lad from Aston became a cultural icon and gave the city its own musical identity. Niall speaks to Sky News entertainment reporter Gemma Peplow who covered the "Back To Beginning" gig and to Jez Collins, a historian at the Birmingham Music Archive.

Why are far-right white nationalists on the rise in the US? 20:40

8 днів тому20:40

20:40

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.

A critical review into England and Wales's broken water system has been released - and it says we are in the midst of the "Great Stink" of the 21st century. The report includes 88 recommendations - including a new single integrated regulator to replace existing water watchdogs, mandatory water metering, and a social tariff for vulnerable customers. 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.

Can Lamine Yamal handle the heat of stardom? 18:03

18:03

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. Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse Editor: Soila Apparicio…

Can Tesla survive without Trump? 14:04

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. Producer: Soila Apparicio…

Should the children of online sex offenders receive more support? 21:24

14 днів тому21:24

21:24

"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. Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org in the UK. In the US, call the Samaritans branch in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK.

Why was the MoD data leak kept secret for 600 days? 15:30

15 днів тому15:30

15:30

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.

Can the BBC move on from its mess on Gaza? 15:30

16 днів тому15:30

15:30

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.

What’s the truth of The Salt Path? 17:38

It's the bestselling book that's in the middle of its own seismic plot twist. Raynor Winn's The Salt Path spent 85 weeks in The Sunday Times Bestsellers List and has just become a film. But the author's life-affirming account of how her husband's illness and losing their money and home put them on a 630-mile coastal walk has been called into question. The Observer has claimed that not all of the couple's story stacks up - something strenuously denied by the author.Niall goes through the claims with Sky News arts and entertainment producer Jayson Mansaray and hears from a journalist who has interviewed Winn, Charlotte Lytton.

A government report has warned that the threat of physical attacks by Iran on people living in the UK has increased "significantly" since 2022. Iran rejects what they call, hostile allegations. Has the recent 12-day war between Israel and Iran changed the hierarchy in the Middle East and its attitude towards the West? On today’s episode, Niall Paterson speaks to home editor Jason Farrell, who attended the briefing for the report. He then discusses Iran’s current global ambitions with Professor Michael Clarke.
