This time on the Sky News Daily, we're handing over to another Sky News podcast - Trump 100.

Mark Stone, Martha Kelner and James Matthews are dropping episodes at 6am (UK) every day to chart what President Trump is saying and doing in his first 100 days in office. They examine what the administration's approach means for the US and the world.

On this episode, you'll also hear from former Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, and from Nigel Farage who has been in the US this week for the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Niall Paterson returns with the Sky News Daily on Monday.

The far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD) is expected to have its best election results since it was formed 12 years ago. It's currently in second place in opinion polls with one in five Germans expected to back it at this weekend's general election.  
  
It will not, though, be part of any coalition government as the other parties will refuse to work with a far-right party.  
  
In today's Sky News Daily, host Tom Cheshire discusses who is voting for the AfD and why, with our Europe correspondent Adam Parsons and Jakob Guhl from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue in Germany.

Sophy Ridge guest hosts this episode with a look ahead to Keir Starmer's meeting with Donald Trump next week.

He was already going to have a tightrope to walk as the potential bridge between the new White House administration and an out-of-favour Europe - but how will the PM handle the President's comments about Volodymyr Zelenskyy?
  
Joining Sophy is Gabriel Pogrund, Whitehall editor of the Sunday Times. He's also co-author of the book `'Get In: The Inside Story of Labour Under Starmer'. They discuss how Starmer might handle the conversations, and what the PM's team is doing to prepare for the trip.

Russia's foreign minister and the US secretary of state have met in Saudi Arabia for the first time since the war in Ukraine began three years ago, to discuss a Ukrainian peace deal. Why is it such a significant moment?  
  
With the meeting taking place in Saudi, and given their diplomacy in arranging the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, how has the kingdom under Mohammed bin Salman become a global power broker in President Trump's new world order?  
  
Tom Cheshire hosts today's Sky News Daily looking at what all the power players want from the talks. He's joined by security and defence editor Deborah Haynes and Dr Lina Khatib, associate fellow of the Middle East and North Africa programme at Chatham House, to discuss.

As the US and Russia negotiate an end to what President Donald Trump calls a “ridiculous war” in Ukraine, Europe faces a critical question. 

Can it still depend on Trump’s America for protection, or is this the moment to have a massive rethink on defence – and can the UK afford it? 

Mark Austin guest hosts this episode of the Sky News Daily and is joined by former NATO deputy supreme allied commander General Richard Shirreff to discuss the future of European defence and what this means for Ukraine.
