This Is Why

Kanye West is one of the 21st Century’s most talented musicians, but his controversial remarks are just as famous as his music – and his antisemitic comments have now got him banned from the UK.
Wireless festival, which he was due to headline in London this summer, has been cancelled as a result.
Since he burst onto the music scene in the early 2000s, Ye, as he is now known, has been breaking the mould – both as an artist and with his controversial opinions.
This includes releasing a song called Heil Hitler, selling swastika T-shirts, saying slavery was a choice and supporting Diddy during his sex trafficking trial.
Gareth Barlow speaks to music and culture journalist Nicolas Tyrell-Scott about why Ye remains popular, how much the music industry is responsible and will anything now change?
Ye denies allegations of sexual assault.

Donald Trump has claimed a ‘complete victory’ in his war in Iran during a phone call to Sky News just hours after the two sides agreed a temporary ceasefire.
But Iran is also declaring a win as it handed over a 10-point plan which includes maintaining control of the Strait of Hormuz and full US military withdrawal from the Middle East.
So will the ceasefire last? Is that the end of free passage through the Strait of Hormuz? And what about Israel’s role?
Gareth Barlow speaks to Sky News’ defence and security analyst Michael Clarke about who is really winning and what happens next.

The Artemis II crew are on their way back to Earth after a record-breaking mission to the far side of the moon. They reached a distance of 252,756 miles from our home planet - the furthest in history.
The ultimate aim of NASA's Artemis programme is to get crewed missions to Mars.
So what did US space experts learn from this mission and how will it help the next stage of the programme, which could see a rocket landing on the moon and ultimately a base being built on the lunar south pole?
Gareth Barlow speaks to space journalist Kate Arkless Gray about how successful the project was and what happens next.

Matt Brittin, a former Google boss and ex-Olympic rower, will become the new director-general of the BBC in May.
He wouldn't have expected a quiet life in the highly-scrutinised role. After all, the broadcaster is facing a multibillion-dollar lawsuit from Donald Trump.
But the aftermath of the sacking of Radio 2 presenter Scott Mills will be one of the first big issues Mr Brittin will have to deal with, on top of the US president's lawsuit and the BBC's charter renewal.
Niall is joined by Deadline's media correspondent Jake Kanter to discuss what the new BBC boss brings to the role, and how he can shape the corporation’s future.

Donald Trump has kept the world guessing over whether he will launch a ground invasion in Iran.
However, the arrival of thousands of US paratroopers in the region might be the clearest indication yet of the disrupter-in-chief’s thinking.
A month of airstrikes is one thing but the deployment of troops is quite another - so how would it work? Has Trump learned nothing from Iraq and Afghanistan?
Niall is joined by the former head of the UK armed forces General Sir Nick Carter.
