    USA '24: Political division and the economy
    With three days until election day, both sides are throwing everything behind winning over those last few undecided voters in swing states.

    Sky News international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn is also there, speaking to one Republican couple with opposite views on Donald Trump. 
      
    And US correspondents James Matthews and Mark Stone discuss how important the economy will be when it comes to deciding who to vote for on Tuesday.

    With just four days until polling day, join our US correspondents on the road as they examine the closing arguments from each campaign.   
      
    James Matthews takes listeners inside Donald Trump’s Maddison Square Graden rally and finds out if controversial jokes by a support act could jeopardise his chances with Hispanic voters - a key demographic in vital swing states.   
      
    And Martha Kelner heads to Kamala Harris’s rally on the Ellipse, in Washington DC - the same spot President Trump rallied before supporters stormed the Capitol on 6 January - to see if her message of unity is landing with young voters.

    Silent prayer and religious chanting: Why the UK is protecting abortion clinics
    Starting today, new protection zones around abortion clinics will make it illegal to harass, obstruct, or attempt to influence anyone seeking or providing abortion services within 150 metres. But what does this mean for women accessing clinics and the potential impacts on pro-life protests?  
     
    Host Liz Bates visits a London clinic to hear from medical staff who have faced abuse when going into work, and speaks to Lily, who told us "my abortion wasn't traumatic. The harassment I received was", when pro-life protesters were outside when she went for an abortion. 
     
    Plus, Liz interviews Jess Phillips, parliamentary under-secretary of state for safeguarding and violence against women and girls, who told the Daily, that she feels proud that the law has come into force.

    USA '24: Trump at Madison Square Garden: Rally or reckoning?
    Donald Trump’s decision to hold a rally at Madison Square Garden, in the heart of Manhattan, nine days before US voters go to the polls has been compared to the 1939 pro-Nazi German American Bund. Is this a fair comparison?  
      
    On this episode of the Sky News Daily, host Darren McCaffrey explores the significance of the rally, the political climate surrounding it, and the polarising reactions it has generated.   
    He’s joined by US correspondent James Matthews, who was at the rally, and Chris Wilson, a former research director for the Ted Cruz for President campaign and founder of WPA Intelligence, a conservative-right community research and analytics firm.

    USA '24: Why Arab-American voters are swinging behind Trump
    With just 11 days to go until the US election, Sky's dedicated team of correspondents goes on the road to gauge what voters in key swing states make of the choice for president.   

    Mark Stone is in Michigan, where Arab-American voters are a key demographic seemingly swinging towards Trump. Some in the community feel abandoned by the Democrats because of their approach to Gaza, and as the consequence of a gradual leftward creep by the party away from socially conservative values.  

    And what happens when you have a candidate who fought to overturn the result of the last US election, who is already claiming his opponents are cheating at this one, and whose supporters are challenging the process through the courts? Our correspondent James Matthews is in Atlanta, Georgia, to find out.  

    Plus, Martha Kelner looks at why billionaire Elon Musk is awarding some registered voters a million dollars.

    Sky News has been given exclusive access to HMP Elmley in Kent, a prison operating at almost full capacity. Our correspondent Mollie Malone has been inside the prison, just as more than 1,000 inmates are released early to ease overcrowding.   
     
    Joining Niall Paterson, Mollie shares the chaos she witnessed inside, from the noise and violence staff face, to the struggles of inmates facing drug addiction and mental health issues. They also explore what life inside tells us about the state of the UK's prison system today.

    'You are not my King!': Will Charles be Australia's last monarch?
    The King and Queen are in Australia for his first overseas visit since becoming monarch. But as they met Australian parliamentarians in Canberra, it wasn't exactly the reception they were expecting, let alone hoping for.  
     
    Lidia Thorpe, the first female Aboriginal politician from the state of Victoria to become a senator, heckled Charles, yelling: "You are not our King, you are not sovereign... you have committed genocide against our people."  
      
    It is a view shared by many Australians – indigenous or otherwise. Niall Paterson is joined by our royal correspondent Laura Bundock, who's in Canberra, to discuss republicanism.
