Arthur Knight was an Irishman, wrongly arrested – he claimed – whilst recovering from a coma in a Glasgow hospital. Except “Arthur Knight” didn’t exist.  
 
His real name is Nicholas Rossi – a convicted sex offender, originally from the United States, who is now facing trial in Utah on two further counts of rape.  
 
But for years, he attempted to convince Scottish authorities he was the victim of a wild conspiracy.  
 
Rossi’s extradition hearing was covered at the time by Sky News’ correspondent, James Matthews, who joins Niall Paterson on The Daily to relive those extraordinary events ahead of the start of his new trial.

He’s been warned against a full military occupation by 600 former Israeli military officials. 
 
But after 22 months of war, that’s exactly what Benjamin Netanyahu wants. 
 
What would long-term occupation mean for Gazans, Israel, the Middle East and the world? 
 
What would it be like for those living in Gaza? Will the Israeli hostages be returned? 
 
And is there any other option in Netanyahu’s eyes? 
 
Niall Paterson is joined on the Sky News Daily by a Palestinian aid worker in Gaza and Professor Yossi Mekelberg, senior consulting fellow for the Middle East and North Africa programme at Chatham House.

No evidence of bullying, misogyny or racism. On the face of it, good news for the Duke of Sussex. 
But there's still plenty of fallout from a very public row ignited by the woman still in charge of the charity set up by Harry in honour of his mother, that he's now walked away from.  

Earlier this year, Sentebale's chair, Dr Sophie Chandauka, used an interview with Sky News' Trevor Phillips to accuse Harry of "harassment and bullying at scale". 

The prince strenuously denied those claims and has now been cleared by the Charity Commission, which found no evidence to back up Dr Chandauka's accusations. 

However, it did find the internal - yet very public - dispute at Sentebale "severely impacted the charity's reputation". 

So, what next for Harry and the charity that was once so close to his heart? Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's royal correspondent, Rhiannon Mills, to discuss the fallout.

The "King Kong" of weight loss drugs, Mounjaro, should finally be available on the NHS. So, why are thousands of patients still waiting for a treatment that could transform their lives? 

Mounjaro was meant to be rolled out across the NHS in England from 23 June for those with the highest clinical need. 

However, a Sky News investigation has found it is only available in eight out of 42 NHS integrated care boards, prompting accusations of a "postcode lottery". 

Many providers will not make it available until autumn, while nearly half of NHS boards said they will cap the number of people they treat due to a lack of funding. 

Our science and medical correspondent, Thomas Moore, joins Niall Paterson on the Sky News Daily podcast as he investigates how the shortfall will cost the NHS and wider society. 

Gary, who weighs 25 stone (159kg) and has several obesity-related conditions, speaks to Thomas about the implications of being told Mounjaro is not available in his area.

If you bought a car as far back as 2007 with a loan organised through your car dealership, you could be eligible for a payout. 
 
The regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, is consulting on a compensation scheme - and it's thought up to 40% of motorists who entered personal contract purchase (PCP) or hire purchase agreements between 2007 and 2021 will be eligible for a payout. 
 
Niall Paterson talks to Sky's business correspondent Gurpreet Narwan about who might be eligible. 
 
He also speaks to Adrian Dally, director of motor finance at the Finance and Leasing Association, who argues the payout levels look too high at this stage.
