Work Christmas parties might be in full swing - but many young people are simply wishing they had a job to go to.  

Figures show the unemployment rate has risen again and those aged between 16 and 24 have been hit the hardest. 

Nowadays it seems not even a degree is enough to land you a job - so what’s causing youth unemployment and what can be done to reduce it? 

Niall is joined by social media influencer and careers adviser Soshanna Davis - better known as the Fairy Job Mother.

The world was shocked to see the scenes at Bondi Beach – one of Australia’s most iconic locations – after 15 people were shot dead and dozens more injured when two gunmen opened fire on members of the Jewish community at a Hanukkah celebration. 

What did intelligence and law authorities know of the suspects – a father and son - and what more could have been done to confront a rise in antisemitic attacks across Australia? 

Niall is joined by Sky’s Nicole Johnston – who was at the scene within an hour – and finds out more about the sense of inevitability and foreboding amongst Australian Jews with Josh Roose – an associate professor of politics, specialising in extremism, at Deakin University.

He’s the most streamed artist on the planet and will headline the Super Bowl halftime show – so, who is Bad Bunny? 

The star dubbed the 'King of Latin Trap’ has become a household name across the US and Latin America – but his political stance and decision to cancel concerts over fears they would be targeted by immigration raids has caused controversy. 

Niall is joined by Anamaria Sayre, co-host of Alt.Latino, curator and producer for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts, to understand Bad Bunny’s career to date and what could be next.

The NHS is warning of a worst-case scenario over Christmas as an "unprecedented wave of super flu" drives infections across the country.  

An average of 2,660 patients were in hospital a day with flu last week - the highest ever for this time of year and up 55% on the week before.  

There is no peak in sight - so what's caused the predominant H3N2 strain to emerge and can the NHS cope with the extra pressure?  

Niall is joined by NHS GP and health educator Dr Raj Arora and Sky's science correspondent Thomas Moore.

Kiki Marriott is one of the thousands of people in the UK whose life has spiralled out of control because of gambling addiction. 

However, research has shown that while people from ethnic minorities like Kiki are actually less likely to gamble than their white counterparts – they are more likely to suffer harm from gambling and less likely to seek help. 

Why is this? And what can be done to help those most in need feel more comfortable with getting support? 

Niall is joined by Kiki and Sky News correspondent Emma Birchley.
