Did Donald Trump just call for a united Ireland?
The fountain turned green at the White House… and the Irish Prime Minister turned into the British prime minister’s most loyal ally… when Donald Trump took aim at Keir Starmer…again. Our Ireland correspondent, Stephen Murphy, was in the Oval Office as it happened. Plus - Donald Trump jokes about a merger between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Another day with more confusing geopolitical messaging from this president. Is he being properly briefed, or does he not care? And the Iran war is proving divisive, even among the president’s loyal lieutenants. The counterterrorism director he appointed has stepped down saying he cannot in good conscience support Trump’s war in Iran. Is this more evidence that the MAGA right is splintering over this conflict? You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel. Email us on trump100@sky.uk with your comments and questions.

Iran... America's next Vietnam War?
Donald Trump says Iran's army, navy and air force have been totally obliterated. So why is he sending 5,000 service members to the Middle East? And Susie Wiles, the president's chief of staff, has breast cancer. She's one of the most influential people in the president's ear. As she recovers, how could the White House change if she is not always at his side? You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel. Email us on trump100@sky.uk with your comments and questions.

Does Trump’s White House think that war and death is just a game?
We are seeing the memeification and trivialisation of the war in Iran on an industrial scale. The White House with daily posts joking about missiles and bombs landing on Iran, as the number of dead increases and the cost - of the war and of petrol - rises and rises. Why is Trump’s team so keen to take the mick? In California, Martha has been to the largest Iranian population outside of Iran. What do the Iranian diaspora make of the US raining “death, fire and fury” on their relatives? Plus - Kash Patel has a new regimen for his FBI agents. They’ll couple their deductive powers with wrestling matches as they get put their through paces by mixed martial artists. Why is the FBI director turning his agents into a bunch of UFC fighters?

Pete Hegseth: $7m lobster, public prayer, and bombing Iran
A day of Iran war briefings from the White House and the Pentagon. War commentary in the style of a comic strip from Pete Hegseth. We'll look into the whizz, bang and pop of it all. It includes prayer. Plus - we've seen the Pentagon's food bill. They spent seven million dollars on lobster tails... in one month. What's going on? Democrat senators aren't happy with how this war story's shaping up. They were being briefed on Capitol Hill. James Matthews was there. You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel.

Did Trump just admit the US bombed a school in Iran?
There are major inconsistencies with this White House administration right now. Rhetoric changes depending on when you catch the president, who claims the war in Iran could be over "soon". What does it mean for the conflict, and for the Iranian people? We unpack it all. That is as a new supreme leader is chosen - and questions start to mount over the bombing of a girls school that left more than 168 people dead. As for the new supreme leader - well, he seems even more hardline than his predecessor. Even if the US stops the missiles, will Iran? Plus - why is Trump talking about the Iran women's football team? We’ll explain. You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel. Email us on trump100@sky.uk with your comments and questions.

The ICE Queen is out: Kristi Noem, you’re fired
Mark Stone is in Corpus Christi, the coastal city of southern Texas, gauging opinions of Americans - and Trump voters - on the war in Iran. Trump says he wants to be involved in the selection of the next Iranian supreme leader. At home, he’s been cleaning house - Kristi Noem, ICE Barbie, ICE Queen, she’s been melted, by order of the boss. She’s out, and in comes Markwayne Mullin. Who’s he? And in Washington DC, the man, the myth, the Messi has been in town. Lionel’s been at the White House to see the president. You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel.

Is the US-UK special relationship now completely broken?
Trump's war against Iran and its fallout continues - and it now pits the president against our prime minister. Donald Trump vs. Keir Starmer, over Iran. Is the relationship between the pair now irreparably ruined? Plus - we have a briefing with two (very) senior officials at the heart of the US administration. They explain to us exactly why the US is involved in Iran. We’ll digest what we make of it. And the Epstein files - they just won’t go away, only some have. Thousands have been deleted from public view. What’s happened there? You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel. Email us on trump100@sky.uk with your comments and questions.

Does Donald Trump actually know what he’s doing in Iran?
Mixed messages from the commander-in-chief. The narrative from members of the administration seems to be built on shifting sands. What is the real reason for America’s intervention in Iran? And how long will this all-out regional conflict last - as millions shelter from missiles in the Middle East and Americans suffer economically. Major questions for the president. Plus - we finally get to watch Bill and Hillary Clinton’s testimony on Jeffrey Epstein. We unpack it. You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel.

What next- and is this the start of the most consequential conflict in the Middle East in a generation? You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel.

Hillary Clinton testifies on Epstein
Hillary Clinton has testified under oath in a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee, questioned about Jeffrey Epstein and the powerful network around him. She has denied that she had any knowledge of Epstein's crimes and didn't recall ever meeting him, flying on his plane, or visiting any of his properties. At the same time, US and Iranian officials meet in Geneva for delicate nuclear talks, negotiations unfolding as Trump beefs up America’s military presence in the Middle East. Plus, a stunning development in the global media industry as Netflix bows out of a bid to buy Warner Brothers which will instead be swallowed instead by a pal of the president.

Mandelson arrested as Trump attacks the Supreme Court
Peter Mandelson - arrested. The fall from grace complete as he goes from US ambassador to the back of a police car in the space of six months. Plus - the fallout from that blockbuster Supreme Court decision on Friday that ruled Donald Trump’s tariffs are constitutionally illegal. Safe to say, the president has gone ballistic. And Kash Patel steals the headlines at the ice hockey, the president bizarrely deploys a hospital ship to Greenland, and US-Iran tensions rage on. A bumper episode.

In Geneva, American and Iranian officials attempt to thrash out a nuclear deal. There are optimistic noises… but POTUS and the supreme leader are still fire warning shots at one another.

That’s after productive conversations with beleaguered UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. And job cuts at the paper that coined the phrase "democracy dies in darkness".

Is Donald Trump about to defy the US Constitution?
