Trump is booed and Hegseth announces a public execution
ListenedPete Hegseth decides that the US government will execute a man on death row - in public. It will be the first of its kind since the era of public hangings in the 1930s. An era many Americans will have hoped they’d left in the past. The news breaks mid record. We react. Elsewhere… The tech giants are back in Washington DC. Elon Musk and Jensen Huang are back with the president a week after the big AI summit. Plus - Marco Rubio atop the Acropolis.

ListenedAn alleged terror incident at an RAF base in the UK captures the attention of both sides of the pond. Donald Trump has weighed in. What does he know that we don’t? Plus - a massive industrial investment announced by the president on Monday. The largest steel plant to be built in Iowa.

Trump meets Xi in DC - who’s the bigger superpower now?
ListenedThe president meets the Chinese leader in Washington DC. The red carpet is rolled out. Just about. The frenemies are more friends than foes for now - but the two are in a battle over AI - and questions still remain if Trump would ever support Taiwan if the Chinese ever sought to take the island.

Has Donald Trump just begun state-run television in America?
ListenedTrump versus the media. Again. But this time, the media has fought back. After banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, major news organisations, including Fox News, have united in protest. The result?

As Donald Trump arrives in New York for a crucial week of diplomacy, Mark Stone and James Matthews unravel a row that's become about much more than journalism.

Are Republicans in panic mode?
ListenedDonald Trump has begun his midterm campaign push, but not where you might expect. The president headed to North Carolina, a state Republicans usually count on winning, while Vice President JD Vance was dispatched to deep-red Kansas. So why are the party's biggest names spending time in states Trump carried comfortably in 2024? Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates for the first time in more than three years as the financial cost of America's war with Iran continues to climb. Also a new report says there are reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes during strikes in Iran earlier this year. What does it mean for the Trump administration? And what does a picture taken through the window of Air Force One accidentally reveal about Donald Trump's plans for the Kennedy Center? You can watch episodes of Trump100 on our YouTube channel.

AI could end the world. So why is Trump not bothered?
ListenedMillions of people - if not billions - are terrified of AI's potential power. Donald Trump says their fears are being whipped up by "conspiracy theorists, treasonists and traitors".

Plus, a trip to Ireland sparks a potential British constitutional crisis after the president calls once more for a united Ireland. The Unionists - who are Donald Trump fans but staunchly against unification - are having to do quite the dance. And - Trump and his tracks. He's been DJing on Air Force One.

Who will replace Trump?
ListenedThe White House press briefing returned after a six-week absence, but it was JD Vance acting as press secretary. Or was it an audition for the Vice President to prove himself as the natural heir to Trump's political movement? While speaking on a faith podcast, JD Vance told listeners he’s been doing ‘God’s work’ where he also said the ‘antichrist walks among us’.

Has Trump destroyed the president-press relationship forever?
ListenedDonald Trump took to the stage at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and used it to attack the press.

Is the 'no wars' president about to start another one?
ListenedIs Donald Trump about to bomb Mali? Yes - you read that right. Not content with a war in Iran, he’s also mulling strikes on the West African country. Why? What for? We’ll explain. Plus - Trump agrees to help Saudi Arabia enrich their uranium. Which is as head spinning as that appears on the page. The Saudis and the Americans say that it’s just for civil nuclear purposes. It’s unclear what or if there are parameters to stop the Saudis changing tact. As for the Israelis - well they’re only happy about it if Saudi Arabia agrees to establish diplomatic ties with them. Trump says that’s happening. It doesn’t sound like that was part of the deal agreed this week. Oops. But first on today’s podcast - the president left his ever more golden Oval Office to head to Dover Air Base to acknowledge the dignified transfer of four US service personnel who died at the hands of the Iranians in the Middle East.

The explosive diarrhoea epidemic that's all Donald Trump's fault
ListenedWe record late at night after Donald Trump speaks in a rare presidential address to the nation. Not about Iran… not about the economy… not even about immigration and the southern border. It's about a six-year-old grievance Trump has about the 2020 election. Go figure. He's declassified documents that he says will prove there was foreign interference in the 2020 election, which he lost legitimately to Joe Biden. So far, those documents show nothing to suggest anything new. We digest them. Elsewhere… a bucket of news. Pete Hegseth wants to test America's soldiers' testosterone levels. Presumably because he doesn't think they're hard enough… Trump's autocue operator has allegedly been betting on what might be in the president's speeches… Reflecting Pool, drained. AGAIN.

Lindsey Graham: political master or the problem with politics?
ListenedChief Trump ally, Senator Lindsey Graham, dies suddenly and unexpectedly. He was once Trump’s fiercest critics. He’d become his most loyal lieutenant. Critics called it spineless. Others say it was playing politics. What does his death mean for Republicans, the Senate, and the president himself? Plus, Donald Trump is now the guardian of the Strait of Hormuz. According... to himself. What gives him the right or the jurisdiction? And has he actually just given Iran another way of holding the world's oil to ransom? And ICE is back in the headlines. Two deaths in two weeks involving immigration agents. It raises fresh questions about accountability and enforcement under Trump's immigration crackdown.

Eyewitness: Inside Venezuela’s disaster zone
ListenedSky News are the first international journalists on the ground in Venezuela after the twin earthquakes devastate parts of the capital Caracas and the north of the country. We tell you what it's really like inside Venezuela - a country still in the throes of the dictatorial regime of Hugo Chavez, Nicolas Maduro and now Delcy Rodriguez. What it’s like- since the US captured Maduro in January and took a stranglehold on Venezuelan economics and politics. The people here have lots to say about Donald Trump. We shine a light on a country that has been notoriously difficult for journalists to get into. A country that knows suffering all too well. A country that now reels from a natural disaster that has seen thousands die and even more dispossessed and displaced. Remember, you can watch Trump100 on our YouTube channel.

Is the Supreme Court on Trump's side… or not?
ListenedFind out how to subscribe to our members club Sky News Insider here: skynews.com/trump100 It's been a huge day for Supreme Court decisions in the US - but is Trump a winner or a loser in the courtroom? Mark and David break down the major rulings from Monday, including the court's refusal to hear Trump's appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case, leaving in place the civil verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer.

And with the Supreme Court's final day of the term still to come, they look ahead to further big decisions - including birthright citizenship - and explain why so many significant rulings land at once.
