If you've paid to have rubbish taken away from your home - where do you expect it to end up?

A Sky News investigation has tracked down some of those behind the dumping of people's waste illegally and discovered how they are making thousands of pounds from it. 

On this episode, Niall hears the back story to how we went from digging through dumped waster to confront a suspected flytipper - and how TikTok played a part.

He's joined by correspondent Rachael Venables and our Open Source Investigations (OSINT) editor, Adam Parker.
  

The public inquiry into the Post Office Horizon scandal has published its first report into what went wrong and how the victims should be properly compensated.

In today's episode Niall Paterson speaks to our business correspondent Paul Kelso about just how damning these findings are and also to former postmistress Janet Skinner who was sent to prison after wrongly being accused of stealing £59,000.

On the morning of 7 July 2005, four suicide bombers targeted London's transport network.

We now know that three bombs were detonated on the underground and an hour later a fourth exploded on a bus, killing 52 people and injuring hundreds of others. 
  
But on the day itself, there was confusion for hours about the details of the scale and nature of the attacks. 
  
On today's Sky News Daily, Gareth Barlow speaks to our crime correspondent Martin Brunt, who recalls his experience of reporting for Sky News on that day and considers its lasting impact.
