Why is the world’s gold under the streets of London?

Fri, 20 Feb 2026

Imagine being in a room surrounded by £64bn worth of gold.

It’s a glittering reality Sky’s economics and data editor Ed Conway experienced in one of 12 huge vaults below the Bank of England.

To be granted access to the vaults is incredibly rare, not least because the gold bars inside them has been skyrocketing in value globally.

So why is so much gold just sitting under London’s streets? Who does it belong to? Ed joins Niall to discuss what it’s like to be in the vaults below London.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on his 66th birthday following revelations in the Epstein files.

Lost Boys: Is demonising teenage boys part of the problem?

Tue, 17 Feb 2026

Boys are now falling behind girls in every metric at school. They're more likely to be out of work than girls, and they make up 98% of the youth prison intake.

There are also 2.5 million children growing up without a father figure and this seems to be impacting boys much more than girls.

But is part of the problem that boys are being told they're the problem?

One headteacher is hoping his groundbreaking scheme of volunteer male mentors will help change that.

Gareth Barlow is joined by Chris Edwards, the headteacher behind the project, and Sky’s home affairs editor Jason Farrell, who has spent months documenting his efforts to get it off the ground.

Frog Russia with Love: Should the UK be ready for chemical warfare with Moscow?

Mon, 16 Feb 2026

The Kremlin has denied using a dart frog toxin to kill Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in 2024.

But Britain and four European allies say they have evidence that points to the use of the forbidden chemical agent.

Why did the allies choose the Munich security conference to make this point? And how has Moscow responded to the claims?

Gareth is joined by Hamish de Bretton-Gordon - former head of British Army’s chemical weapons unit - and defence analyst Michael Clarke to discuss whether Russia wanted the world to know how they carried out Navalny’s death and ask should the UK be ready for chemical warfare with Russia?
