The leader of France's far-right National Rally party Marine Le Pen has had her dreams of becoming the president of France thwarted.
 
It comes after a court found her guilty of embezzling European Union funds. She's now been banned from running for political office for five years. 
 
She has the support of Elon Musk, and Donald Trump who publicly backed her after the conviction, and this weekend there's a massive rally planned in Paris in support of her.  So who is Marine Le Pen? 
 
Niall Paterson talks to Sophie Pedder, Paris bureau chief of The Economist who has written a book about Emmanuel Macron and has been reporting on Marine Le Pen for years.

President Donald Trump has imposed immediate tariffs of 10% on all British exports to the United States.  He did this as he announced a "declaration of economic independence" for the US.  
  
On his self-declared "Liberation Day", Mr Trump described the tariffs as reciprocal and said he was going to be "kind" by charging half of each country’s total "anti-US" measures. 
Niall Paterson talks to Sky's business correspondent Paul Kelso about what these tariffs might mean for British business, which sectors are exempt, and whether a further deal can be worked out with Mr Trump.

China's economy is already struggling. Growth has slowed dramatically in recent years and there is high youth employment. Since the beginning of March, there's also been a tax of 20% on any goods sold to the US.

Niall Paterson speaks to Sky's Asia correspondent Helen-Ann Smith who has been to Guangdong province to find out how manufacturing is being impacted.  They also discuss how the tariffs will play into President Xi’s narrative of a resurgent global China.

Last week, Prince Harry quit as patron of a charity he co-founded in memory of his mother, Princess Diana.    

Over the weekend, the charity's chair, Dr Sophie Chandauka told Sky News' Trevor Philips the prince had been "the number one risk" to the charity and accuses the Duke of unleashing "the Sussex machine" on her and Sentebale's staff.   

A source close to the former trustees of the charity has described the claims as "completely baseless".

On today's Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Sky's royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills about the very public fallout.
