What happens if the US walks away from a Ukraine peace deal?
👉 Listen to Sky News Daily on your podcast app 👈 JD Vance is the latest senior member of Donald Trump's administration to say the US will walk away from peace talks if there isn't a yes from both Ukraine and Russia. But the US plan to recognise Russia's claim to Crimea would be a breach of Ukraine's constitution and so not something President Volodomyr Zelenskyy can agree to even if he wanted to keep the talks alive. On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to our international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn about what will happen to Ukraine and Russia - and to the UK's and Europe's relations with the US - if Trump walks away from peace talks.

The 'charisma battle' at the heart of the Turkish protests
Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Turkey, following the arrest of Ekrem Imamoglu - the main political rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Opposition leader Mr Imamoglu is a popular politician, the mayor of Istanbul, and a 2028 presidential candidate. But last Wednesday he was detained and later formally arrested on allegations of corruption, a move he says is politically motivated. On Sky News Daily, Liz Bates talks to Sky's special correspondent Alex Crawford who has been reporting from Istanbul and meeting with protesters. She also speaks to Hannah Lucinda Smith, the author of Erdogan Rising: The Battle For The Soul Of Turkey, about who Mr Imamoglu is and what his arrest tells us about the direction Mr Erdogan is taking the country.

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills in Tallinn to discuss whether at this critical time the UK is deploying the soft power of the royals to make a difference.

Why is Labour sick of the benefit PIP?
👉 Listen to Sky News Daily on your podcast app 👈 The government is due to set out its plans to make cuts to the welfare system on Tuesday. One of the benefits targeted for £5bn worth of savings is the key disability benefit - Personal Independence Payments (PIP). Health Secretary Wes Streeting has told Sky News 1,000 people a day apply for PIP, but pressure from Labour's backbenchers could see plans to reform the benefit watered down. On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Paul Morrison, a benefits expert and policy adviser for the Methodist Church, on how PIP works and who is eligible. Political correspondent Liz Bates explains the challenges of reforming PIP.
