    February 8th, 2024: Ukraine's Naval Triumph, Iran's Nuclear Clock, & Haley’s Embarrassment
    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: We begin with the latest from Ukraine, where Ukrainian troops, despite escalating challenges, achieve a notable victory against the Russian Navy. We delve into a disturbing report from an Iranian watchdog organization, revealing that Iran could potentially assemble a nuclear weapon within a week, given its current stockpile of weapons-grade uranium. We examine the fallout of the failed Israeli aid package in the GOP-controlled House, and the Senate's subsequent efforts to push through a clean foreign aid bill. In the Back of the Brief segment, we cover the Republican presidential primary, highlighting a significant setback for former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.

    The Week... the Post Office delivers answers

    The Week... the Post Office delivers answers
    Two of Westminster's best-connected journalists, Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard, guide us through their predictions of how British politics will play out over the next seven days.

    This week the Post Office will be expected to deliver answers when its chief executive faces the Commons business committee to discuss the Horizon scandal.

    Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron said of UK action in the Red Sea: “We will be prepared to back words with actions”. How will that go down when the prime minister is in the Commons on Monday afternoon.

    And, standby for the return of the Rwanda Bill to parliament – Sam and Jack run through the amendments to watch out for.

    Plus, their predictions on the World Economic Forum in Davos and what will happen when the deadline for restoring power-sharing in Northern Ireland passes this week.

    On the Horizon scandal, the Post Office said: "We fully share the aims of the current public inquiry, set up to establish what went wrong in the past, and the accountability for it." Fujitsu, the company behind the IT system, said: "Fujitsu is fully committed to supporting the Inquiry in order to understand what happened and to learn from it. Out of respect for the Inquiry process, it would be inappropriate for Fujitsu to comment further at this time."
