  • Why does China care who the next Dalai Lama is?

    Why does China care who the next Dalai Lama is?
    2025/07/04
    The Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is turning 90 and has confirmed - after years of uncertainty - that he will have a successor after his death and will not chose to end the line.

    In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Dalai Lama is reincarnated after they die. Monks search, select, and school a successor – usually a child. The current Dalai Lama was recognised at the age of two. He and an estimated 150,000 Tibetans now live in exile in India, and other countries, after China annexed Tibet decades ago.

    And that makes who the next Dalai Lama is, a concern of China's.

    Joining Matt Barbett is Professor Robert Barnett, who founded the Modern Tibetan Studies Program at Columbia University and is now at University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). He has also met the Dalai Lama several times.

    Kush – the deadly drug wreaking havoc in West Africa
    2025/07/03
    The synthetic drug kush, first seen in Sierra Leone in 2022, has now spread into much of West Africa while also evolving into an even more dangerous drug. Tests have found it contains nitazenes which are 25 times stronger than fentanyl.

    Sky News has found that ingredients used to make kush are being shipped into Sierra Leone from the UK.

    In today's Sky News Daily, Gareth Barlow is joined by our Africa correspondent Yousra Elgabir who has spoken to addicts and those trying to tackle the problem.

  • Was there a hate crime at Glastonbury?

    Was there a hate crime at Glastonbury?
    2025/06/30
    At their Glastonbury set on Saturday, punk-rap duo Bob Vylan's singer led chants of "death, death to the IDF".

    The chants have been labelled antisemitic by the BBC and the organisation has since apologised for airing the performance – but Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has called for the broadcaster to be prosecuted, saying they, "should not be transmitting hateful material designed to incite violence and conflict". The police have now launched a criminal investigation into the Glastonbury performance.

    What should the BBC have done and will they face prosecution?

    Host Sarah-Jane Mee speaks to the former head of Channel Four News and Current Affairs, Dorothy Byrne, to understand what the broadcaster should have done differently. She also speaks to legal expert Joshua Rozenberg about whether Bob Vylan's performance constitutes a hate crime and if the BBC may be prosecuted for broadcasting it.

  • Why weight loss jabs might not be a wonder drug

    Why weight loss jabs might not be a wonder drug
    2025/06/26
    Recent years have seen the advent of weight loss drugs, including Ozempic and Wegovy. They work by suppressing users' appetites, leading to weight loss.

    They've been described as wonder drugs but now, new figures from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) show they may be associated with inflammation of the pancreas, which could lead to death.

    Niall Paterson speaks to Sky's science correspondent, Thomas Moore, about these new findings and how cautious they should make us. We also hear from Lorna, a mother who got acute pancreatitis while she was on a weight loss drug - she believes the drugs are not worth the risks.

    Why is the UK buying nuclear-carrying fighter jets?
    2025/06/25
    The government has announced it is purchasing at least 12 new F-35 stealth jets that can carry nuclear warheads. It's a move that's been described by Downing Street as the most significant strengthening of the nation's nuclear capability in a generation.

    So, what are these jets? And why is the UK expanding its nuclear capability?

    Sarah-Jane Mee speaks to Dr Thomas Withington, an award-winning analyst and expert in air defence, to understand just how big a change in defence spending this is, what the move means for the UK in NATO, and what it tells us about the shift to make the country war ready.
