    The rise (and fall?) of Marine Le Pen
    Apr 4 2025
    The leader of France's far-right National Rally party Marine Le Pen has had her dreams of becoming the president of France thwarted.

    It comes after a court found her guilty of embezzling European Union funds. She's now been banned from running for political office for five years.

    She has the support of Elon Musk, and Donald Trump who publicly backed her after the conviction, and this weekend there's a massive rally planned in Paris in support of her. So who is Marine Le Pen?

    Niall Paterson talks to Sophie Pedder, Paris bureau chief of The Economist who has written a book about Emmanuel Macron and has been reporting on Marine Le Pen for years.

    Trump's tariffs: what do they mean for Britain?
    Apr 3 2025
    President Donald Trump has imposed immediate tariffs of 10% on all British exports to the United States. He did this as he announced a "declaration of economic independence" for the US.

    On his self-declared "Liberation Day", Mr Trump described the tariffs as reciprocal and said he was going to be "kind" by charging half of each country’s total "anti-US" measures.
    Niall Paterson talks to Sky's business correspondent Paul Kelso about what these tariffs might mean for British business, which sectors are exempt, and whether a further deal can be worked out with Mr Trump.
