The two will aim to give audiences a "thoughtful look at our world's most complex issues" and "a front-row seat" to the events shaping the globe.

Hakim said: "This is a moment of intensifying conflict and polarisation. I hope therefore this podcast can serve as a kind of port in the storm."

Engel said: "The launch of this podcast comes at a crucial time in our world. We are in the midst of covering conflicts that have ripple effects across the globe."

David Rhodes, executive chairman at Sky News Group, said: "These delicate times call for more insight and analysis - and that's exactly the journalism that Yalda Hakim and Richard Engel can provide.

"For more than five years now Sky News and NBC News have been under the same corporate umbrella.

"Yalda and Richard's collaboration will demonstrate the global capabilities of that partnership: bringing the full story, first, to audiences around the world."

David Verdi, EVP global newsgathering at NBC News, said: "We're proud to partner with Sky News in bringing together these world-class journalists on one program that is available to audiences everywhere."
