This Is Why

Is the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak a new low for the police - or an excuse for political point scoring?
Henry was handcuffed as he lay dying after being stabbed, having been falsely accused of racially abusing his Sikh killer, Vickrum Digwa.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage claims this is yet another example of 'two-tier policing', where white people are treated differently to ethnic minorities.
Are those allegations justified? Do police forces in England have an institutional problem with race? Or are the facts and statistics being ignored to suit a political agenda?

A year on from publishing a plan to make the UK's military fit for purpose, the government still hasn't said where the money's coming from.
It now admits the long-delayed defence investment plan is still weeks away from being published.
The prime minister has committed to spend 3.5% of GDP on core defence by 2035 - but is Sir Keir Starmer willing to sanction cuts elsewhere, from welfare or the NHS, to pay for it?
As the US seemingly turns its back on NATO and the threat from Russia increases, is the UK taking defence spending seriously enough?

A Blue Origin rocket explosion during a test launch at Cape Canaveral in Florida could have huge implications for Jeff Bezos' ambitions in space.
His company had just won a big NASA contract to deliver lunar landers to the moon using his New Glenn rockets which are specifically designed to carry cargo.
The failure will also affect NASA's moon plans, which already included little margin for error.
Sky's science and technology correspondent Mickey Carroll joins Mhari Aurora to discuss what the explosion means for Blue Origin, getting humans back on the moon and the space race.

At least eight teenagers have died after getting into difficulty in open water during the UK’s record-breaking heatwave.
The tragedies have caused the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) to warn of the dangers of “cold water shock”, as many try to cool down in the baking heat.
The deaths have also happened days before the official start of summer - so what can be done to keep people safe in the months ahead?
Mhari Aurora discusses water safety with campaigner Beckie Ramsay, whose son drowned in open water in 2011.

The head of the GCHQ intelligence agency has warned that Russia is going after critical infrastructure and democracy in the UK.
Anne Keast-Butler also used the inaugural GCHQ annual lecture at Bletchley Park to say the threat of this "daily hybrid activity" leading to a wider conflict is as "high as I’ve ever seen it".
Her warning comes days after an RAF jet carrying the UK's defence secretary John Healey had its signal jammed near the Russia border.
Why is Moscow allegedly carrying out these hybrid attacks and what is being done to tackle them?
Gareth Barlow discusses how severe the Russia threat is with Sky's military analyst Professor Michael Clarke.
