    Roman Abramovich: From rags, to riches, to 'ripping off' Ukraine

    The government is threatening to take former Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich to court over the proceeds of the sale of the club.     Three years after being sanctioned for the oligarch's links to the Russian president, £2.5bn remains frozen in a bank account. The funds are earmarked for Ukrainian aid, but where will they end up?     In today's episode, Niall Paterson talks to the financier and author Bill Bowder and Sky's sports correspondent Rob Harris about how Abramovich went from orphan to oligarch and where sanctions leave him today.     Lawyers for Abramovich did not immediately respond to requests for comment.     Producer: Gabriel Radus and Emily Hulme  Editor: Philly Beaumont

    Weight loss jabs - what else don't we know?

    The government's health agency, the MHRA, is warning women that they shouldn't use weight loss jabs while pregnant and that the drugs can also affect the reliability of the pill, which has led to a rise in so-called "Ozempic babies".     On today’s Sky News Daily Niall Paterson talks to Dr Nikita Kanani, a GP and former medical director for primary care at NHS England, about the risks, whether there are other concerns about using them and if there should be tighter restrictions on online sales of the jabs.    Producer: Emily Hulme  Editor: Wendy Parker

    Why good weather isn’t to blame for small boat crossings

    The Home Office says the doubling of good weather days this year compared to the start of 2024 "coincides with small boat arrivals being 46% higher" - but research by Sky's Data and Forensics team shows a rise in crossings during bad weather as well.      On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky News' political correspondent Ali Fortescue and senior data journalist Daniel Dunford to assess what the new data tells us about how well the government's plans to tackle small boat crossings are working and what they've learnt about how the smuggling gangs are adapting.    Producer: Emily Hulme  Editor: Wendy Parker

    Israel's illegal settlements - and those fighting back

    Israel has authorised 22 new Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, including legalising unauthorised outposts.Such settlements are considered illegal under international law - a designation Israel disputes.
