In his first question to Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle, Trevor Phillips asks him about the story on the front of The Sunday Times.

This is a piece about the Americans apparently having concerns about the proposed massive Chinese embassy in East London.

Issues include its proximity to the City of London and Canary Wharf financial hubs, and the potential for things like phone and internet lines to be compromised.

In response, Kyle says such issues will be dealt with "assiduously" - carefully - as part of the planning process.

He claims the government deals with embassies and such issues "all the time".

Pushed on whether the fact it's the Americans and the White House raising the issues, Kyle says the UK and US share intelligence and the British government will always provide a "fulsome" response to the other side of the Atlantic.

"It's going through planning - these are issues that will be dealt with in that process," he says.

Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips is starting for another week.

Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle is speaking to us on behalf of the government, with the spending review set to take place on Wednesday.

Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp will be on to argue the Tory perspective.

And then SNP leader John Swinney will be speaking to Trevor after his party failed to win the Hamilton by-election last week.

On Wednesday 11 June, Chancellor Rachel Reeves will deliver the government's spending review.

Rather than details about taxes and how the government brings in money, it will instead be an outline for how the government wants to spend taxpayer cash.

Ms Reeves will be explaining how roughly 拢600bn will be spent over the course of a few years.

In the article below, Sky News answers some of the key questions about the review.

This includes whether taxes will go up, if we will see changes to the winter fuel payment cap - and what a spending review actually is.

In the centre of Hamilton, stands the now derelict Bairds department store - a reminder of the past and a sign of the political present.

Outside, people speak of a time when the high street was busy and the area buzzing.

As in other areas of the country, the blame for this sense of decline is placed at the door of the established parties.

"The SNP have done nothing for Hamilton鈥� we need someone to do something and I'm not sure Labour will do it", said one woman stopping for a chat outside Belles Tearoom.

Apathy once again prevails.

But just over seven thousand people came up with a solution unusual for Scottish politics on Thursday.

Research into faster drug treatments and longer-lasting batteries will form part of the 拢86bn science and technology funding due to be unveiled in the government's spending review next week.

On Wednesday, Chancellor Rachel Reeves will unveil how much taxpayer money each government department will get.

Each region in England will be handed up to 拢500m to spend on science and technology projects of their choice, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) says.

In Liverpool, the funding is being earmarked to speed up the development of new drug treatments, while in South Wales, it will fund longer-lasting microchips for smartphones and electric cars.

Overall by 2030, Ms Reeves's spending package will be worth more than 拢22.5bn a year, the government says.

"Britain is the home of science and technology," she said on Sunday. "Through the 'plan for change', we are investing in Britain's renewal to create jobs, protect our security against foreign threats and make working families better off."

Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle will be speaking to Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips at 8.30am.

We'll be back on Sunday for this week's edition of Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips, live on Sky News at 8.30am.

John Healey is in Normandy today to mark the 81st anniversary of D-Day.

The defence secretary attended commemorations at the British Normandy Memorial and Bayeux War Cemetery. 

He also had lunch with veterans of the Second World War who travelled to northern France to mark the anniversary.

D-Day was and remains the largest seaborne invasion in military history and ultimately led to the end of the war, as Allied troops battled through France and into Germany. 

Healey said: "We forever owe an enormous debt to the British and Allied forces who landed in Normandy 81 years ago today, determined to defeat Nazi tyranny and restore peace to Western Europe.

"As we reset the nation鈥檚 contract with our armed forces, we will continue to remember all those who served to defend our values."

The ceremonies this year are all the more poignant at a time of global conflict, and with the defence budget very much on Healey's mind.

We'll have more on that confirmed in the spending review next week. 

But here are some photos of what the defence secretary has been up to today:

As Rachel Reeves prepares for next week's spending review, Beth explains why it could be a defining moment for the government and the chancellor is faced with difficult choices.

Harriet talks about the two-child benefit cap and whether the government can afford to scrap it.

And as Sir Keir Starmer puts the country on a war footing, Sky's defence correspondent Deborah Haynes joins Beth, Ruth and Harriet to talk about the strategic defence review and why there's no argument across parliament about defence spending.

Deborah also talks about her own podcast, The Wargame, which is out next week and simulates an attack on the UK.

Anything other than a win for Labour would have been a humiliation in this contest.

It wasn't any old local by-election - this was a contest where Labour knew it could act as a mini barometer of Sir Keir Starmer's recent U-turn on winter fuel payments and become a test of how popular the politics of Nigel Farage are in Scotland.

Labour are power hungry and have, for a long time, set their sights on forming the next Scottish government.

The prime minister will this morning be breathing a sigh of relief after clinching this shock victory over the SNP and Reform UK.

This contest on the outskirts of Glasgow came at a time where Labour had been firefighting and grappling with polling suggesting they had blown their chances of ousting the SNP from power in Edinburgh after almost 20 years.

The SNP had a spring in their step during this campaign after a chaotic couple of years.

First Minister and SNP leader John Swinney had apparently stemmed the bleeding after the infamous police fraud investigation, endless fallout over gender identity reforms, and last year's general election where they were almost wiped out.

This result leaves them no further forward than 12 months ago, with questions over the party's strategy.
