00:00:00The top story that we are following here coming in from the United States of America where Elon Musk has quit the Donald Trump cabinet.
00:00:09Elon Musk has stepped down as the head of Dodge and he has thanked President Donald Trump for the opportunity that was given to him to work in the cabinet.
00:00:19After decising Trump's big and beautiful bill, White House said Musk's off-boarding will begin from tonight.
00:00:25But Elon Musk's 130-day mandate as the special government employee in the Trump administration was all set to expire around the 30th of May.
00:00:34The administration said Dodge's efforts to restructure and shrink the federal government will continue.
00:00:40But despite this, what we are now seeing is that Elon Musk has quit the cabinet and he has thanked the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, for the opportunity that he gave Elon Musk.
00:00:51My colleague Pranay Upadhyay is now joining me on the story.
00:00:54Pranay, everyone knew that this would happen because when he had joined the cabinet, there was a 130-day cap that was given to him because he was a special government employee.
00:01:04But do you think that tensions had started to arise between Donald Trump and Elon Musk over the past couple of days?
00:01:10Not only tension, Aishwarya, but also his role, his decisions and his involvement in Dodge started hurting the economic interest of Elon Musk, who's the richest man on earth.
00:01:26Because the kind of wrath his Tesla car started receiving in response to his decisions at Dodge.
00:01:34And also people started questioning about the efficiency of Dodge, the decisions made by Dodge, how effective those decisions were and how did it change?
00:01:45Or like, what are the subsequent fallout of those decisions?
00:01:49All these questions were being discussed and in question.
00:01:52And also, like, you know, many people reached out to President Donald Trump, like, you know, his advisors also suggested that, like, you know,
00:01:59the over-involvement of Elon Musk might overshadow his presidency, might, like, you know, raise questions about his authority.
00:02:08So therefore, there was, I think, a few weeks ago, Elon Musk started, like, you know, like, you know, he started, like, shorting his role.
00:02:19He started, like, you know, he kind of withdrew from this entire process of Dodge and that's why he took this exit from the Dodge.
00:02:32But we are yet to see that, you know, the Dodge, which is the Department of Government Efficiency launched by President Donald Trump,
00:02:38how effectively those decisions will be implemented subsequently now.
00:02:42Right. Thank you, Pranay, for giving us all those details, putting things in perspective.
00:02:49Joining me on the broadcast, Daniel Block, who's a senior journalist.
00:02:53Daniel, this was a marriage which people understood would end sooner than later, 130 days.
00:02:59That was the time that was given to Elon Musk.
00:03:02But, you know, over the past few weeks, we had seen the tension building up between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump
00:03:08and some of the statements also coming out now, clearly pointing to us the fact that things were not all right between Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
00:03:18I think that's right.
00:03:19In many ways, one of the things we're all surprised by is just how long this marriage lasted.
00:03:26These are two men with enormous egos.
00:03:29Both of them think that they're the smartest people in the room, basically, in any situation that they're in.
00:03:33And so there was inherently tension between the two from day one, as you were saying.
00:03:39And I think what started to happen eventually, although we'll see what the reporting says,
00:03:44we have to wait and understand, is that Musk got frustrated with the fact that he didn't have quite as free a hand as he thought he might.
00:03:53His Doge program ran into opposition in the courts, in the bureaucracy, sometimes within other members of the Trump government.
00:03:59And so eventually he felt that it was time for him to leave.
00:04:03And I think Trump, on the other hand, perhaps got frustrated at times that he was being outshone by Musk.
00:04:09I think that didn't sit terribly well with him.
00:04:12And so while he was happy to have him around and help him help out in various ways,
00:04:16it wasn't like he felt it was essential that Musk stay forever.
00:04:21Daniel, the big question now.
00:04:24Elon Musk was the chief of the Department of Government.
00:04:26And the Doge, that's the phrase that they all had given.
00:04:30So what will happen to it next?
00:04:32Because this is something that Donald Trump was very keenly looking at,
00:04:35wanting to change the way the government used to function over the past so many years.
00:04:39So this was something, his big ticket, that was something that he was looking at.
00:04:44What will now happen to Doge?
00:04:45That's a big question.
00:04:46A lot of people around are asking.
00:04:48I think the fate of Doge itself as an entity, we'll just have to kind of wait and see.
00:04:55But I think the bigger question and what you're getting at is what's going to happen to
00:04:59the Trump administration's efforts to cut spending, to cut what it calls wastes and fraud.
00:05:05Obviously, people disagree about how much waste and fraud there actually is.
00:05:08But their efforts to trim back the bureaucracy to cut spending.
00:05:12And I think we'll see those efforts continue in various places,
00:05:16in various ways over the coming months and years.
00:05:18Now, again, how much headway they'll make, it's uncertain.
00:05:23How much further they'll go than they've gone so far, we don't know.
00:05:28But we know that the Republican Party as a whole has long been very interested in reducing
00:05:33the size of the federal government.
00:05:35And so I expect we'll continue to see efforts at that, no matter what happens to Doge proper.
00:05:40Well, coming to a big question now, do you believe that the American citizens are very
00:05:47happy the way things are going?
00:05:48Because there have been certain statements which have been made and then backtracking has
00:05:53happened, certain ideas that have flown out, but then again the backtracking happens.
00:05:58So do you think there's a lot of confusion in the Trump administration at the moment?
00:06:01Sure.
00:06:03So I should start with a caveat that when we talk about what American people are happy
00:06:08with or like or dislike, it's always hard to know.
00:06:12It's hard to boil down by particular issues.
00:06:14It's hard to tease out the signal from the noise.
00:06:17We do know a couple of things, though.
00:06:19First is that Musk himself was unpopular.
00:06:21Polls often showed that he was actually quite unpopular, often far more unpopular than Donald
00:06:25Trump.
00:06:26We do know that Americans like the idea of cutting out waste and fraud.
00:06:30But again, who doesn't like the idea of cutting out waste and fraud?
00:06:34The devil's in the details.
00:06:35It's what you talk about cutting, where you really have to see how people are responding.
00:06:40And cutting programs like Medicaid, like Medicare, some of the social safety net programs that
00:06:45constitute really the bulk of American spending, cutting those programs is not popular at all.
00:06:51And I don't expect it will get any more popular in the months and weeks ahead, even as Republicans
00:06:56work, as they're trying to right now, to cut back some of America's social safety net provisions.
00:07:05Daniel, can Elon Musk become a problem for Donald Trump in future?
00:07:08Because he is someone who knows a lot of secrets.
00:07:11I think that Musk has perhaps already been a problem for Trump in that he was quite unpopular.
00:07:21And so his efforts may have dragged down Trump a little bit with him.
00:07:24By the same token, I've seen people argue that Musk may have served as a shield for Trump
00:07:28in that anger that otherwise would have gone to the U.S. president found itself directed
00:07:33directed at Musk instead.
00:07:36Now, in terms of knowing secrets or stuff like that when it comes to Trump, I'm personally
00:07:41skeptical that Musk can be a problem for Trump in that regard, because it seems like no matter
00:07:46what scandal comes out about Trump, no matter what he does, he retains roughly the same amount
00:07:53of popularity.
00:07:54It ebbs and it flows.
00:07:55But there have just been so many enormous scandals around Trump so far, things that in the past would
00:08:00have run presidents out of, you know, if not out of the Oval Office, it certainly would
00:08:06have taken their popularity down by 10 or 20 percentage points.
00:08:09And that has a very small, not zero, but a small effect on Trump's approval rating.
00:08:16You know what you are saying?
00:08:17A lot of people might actually say that Donald Trump is extremely lucky.
00:08:20And some might even also say that this is a changed United States of America that the
00:08:24world is now looking at.
00:08:25I think, you know, to what extent Trump himself has changed America versus to what extent Trump
00:08:34is the product of a changed America, there's causal factors going both ways there.
00:08:39It's a little bit of A and a little bit of B, but we're definitely looking at a changed
00:08:42country right now.
00:08:44I mean, Trump is such an overwhelming figure and he's dominated American politics to an
00:08:48extent that we haven't really seen, at least in my lifetime.
00:08:51And so, you know, we're very polarized now.
00:08:55It's a very polarized country.
00:08:57And that's part of why Trump is able to maintain such a tight band of popularity.
00:09:01He can never become, you know, super popular, perhaps as popular, certainly as popular as
00:09:06he would like.
00:09:06But he also has a high floor because his base of support is so strong.
00:09:11It stands by him almost no matter what.
00:09:13Daniel, a lot of people also say that, you know, Elon Musk is a person who calls a spade
00:09:20a spade.
00:09:21Do you think with him moving out of the cabinet, there wouldn't be a lot of people who would
00:09:25tell Donald Trump and call a spade a spade?
00:09:28So do you think in that sense, a little bit of a lack we could see coming in?
00:09:35I'm not sure how much of a difference this is going to make in terms of Trump's own decision
00:09:39making.
00:09:39I think it's possible that Musk felt a little bit more autonomy to say what he wanted to
00:09:44say relative to other cabinet members because of his wealth, because his status was always
00:09:49somewhat temporary.
00:09:50But we did see that when Musk started to get involved in government, he had to engage in
00:09:54the same games of flattery and fawning over the president that other Republican politicians
00:10:01have had to.
00:10:02So he wasn't totally immune from that.
00:10:04He wasn't always calling a spade a spade.
00:10:06Certainly on X, his social media platform, and in real life, he can be a fire hose of
00:10:13disinformation, spouting out things that are not true all the time, constantly.
00:10:18But I think the other thing that's true is that Trump, even when he gets information he
00:10:23doesn't like, he tends to discard it.
00:10:26And even if Musk was sometimes a conduit for unhappy information to the president, and again,
00:10:32I'm not exactly sure to what extent that's true, the vast majority of people who surrounded
00:10:38him before were sycophants.
00:10:40The vast majority of people who surround him now.
00:10:43One of the big differences between Trump's second term and Trump's first.
00:10:47Right, Daniel, please stay on with me.
00:10:51We've got some more news coming in with regards to United States of America and Donald Trump,
00:10:56the big war that we are seeing taking place between the administration and Harvard.
00:11:00It is Donald Trump who now wants Harvard to cut foreign student intake to 15%.
00:11:05That's the news that's coming in at the moment.
00:11:07Donald Trump says Harvard should maybe have a 15% cap on foreign students.
00:11:12A statement coming in from the US President Donald Trump who's saying Harvard University
00:11:19should have a 15% cap on the number of foreign students, it admits.
00:11:23And the Ivy League school needs to show the administration the current list of students
00:11:27coming in from different parts of the world.
00:11:30Harvard has got to behave themselves.
00:11:32They're treating our country with great disrespect.
00:11:34And all that they are doing is getting in deeper and deeper.
00:11:38My colleague Pranay Upadhyay joining me on the story.
00:11:40Pranay, this is a big war that we are seeing taking place.
00:11:43The administration, the Donald Trump administration on one side, Harvard on the other side.
00:11:48Both the institutions not backing down.
00:11:50A new statement coming in from Donald Trump and saying that they have been disrespecting
00:11:55United States of America.
00:11:57Harvard is treating the country with disrespect.
00:12:01You're absolutely right, Aishwarya.
00:12:03President Donald Trump is quite critical about Harvard.
00:12:06His administration is cracking down on Harvard University, which is the premium Ivy League
00:12:11institution.
00:12:12But you see that he has already yielded a concession to Harvard University because right from the
00:12:18sweeping ban on Harvard University on accepting the international students, now he has given
00:12:23a concession that acceptance can go up to 15%.
00:12:27But he has insisted upon that Harvard should give the list of the international students, from
00:12:32where did they come from, what are the background of these students, and what are they doing.
00:12:37So this is definitely like, you know, never happened in the history of the United States, that
00:12:42any administration has asked the Harvard University or any university for that matter to give
00:12:48out the details of, like, you know, list of international students.
00:12:51So definitely the matter has already gone to court, Aishwarya, and we are yet to see that
00:12:56what courts ruled out because there is another front with Trump administration has opened because
00:13:02a lot of things and a lot of decisions of the Trump administration has gone to court, right
00:13:06from tariffs to visas to deportations to Harvard University issue.
00:13:11And many universities, along with Harvard University, a consortium of universities have approached
00:13:16the United States courts on these decisions.
00:13:20So we are yet to see that how things progress, but definitely we could see that there is a
00:13:25concession which is yielded by President Donald Trump from sweeping ban.
00:13:29So, like, you know, 31% acceptance.
00:13:33He mentioned in his previous statement that over 30% of students at Harvard University is
00:13:38of foreign origin and international students to, like, you know, 15%.
00:13:44So he has, like, you know, cut down to 15%, to 50%.
00:13:47So we are yet to see how the matter progress is in court.
00:13:52Thank you, Pranay, giving us those details.
00:13:54My colleague Pranay giving us details and also saying we will now have to wait and watch
00:13:58what exactly Howard will do.
00:14:01Daniel Bloke, senior journalist, still with me on the story.
00:14:04Daniel, this is the other big war that we are seeing.
00:14:06And we are also seeing that Howard, a lot of people believe, Daniel, that this is just the beginning.
00:14:10We could see other Ivy League colleges also at loggerheads with the Trump administration.
00:14:17We certainly could.
00:14:18And, in fact, we already are.
00:14:20But first, I want to say I believe that, just so viewers are aware and double-check me on this,
00:14:25the figure is not over 30% at Harvard.
00:14:27I believe it's in the 20%.
00:14:29That is the figure of the number of international students at Harvard.
00:14:32So I think I just want to be sure that everybody's taking facts that Trump says with a grain of salt,
00:14:36because I believe that one's not true.
00:14:38But, again, double-check me on that.
00:14:40Anyway, to return to your question, we've already seen Trump launch an attack on Columbia University,
00:14:45for example, going after a lot of their money and their resources and trying to extort the school in that sense.
00:14:52And I think he's going to widen the front.
00:14:53He's put out lists of dozens of schools, colleges, and universities throughout the country,
00:14:59not just Ivy League, but other elite institutions and some institutions that don't even necessarily
00:15:04have the name-brand prestige of the top colleges in the country.
00:15:08And he said that he's investigating all of them for a variety of reasons.
00:15:12And it seems like his intention is to do what he's doing at Harvard in order to, you know,
00:15:17kind of choke off their finances, go after the flow of international students that they have,
00:15:21go after their grants, go after their endowments.
00:15:24Republicans are talking about implementing an endowment tax on colleges and universities.
00:15:28And this is all a coordinated campaign that's designed to bring these colleges in line with Trump's priorities.
00:15:37Right. Daniel, please stay on with me.
00:15:38We've got some more news coming in, this time with regards to the tariffs that Donald Trump has been letting across the globe.
00:15:45It's a U.S. court, United States court, that has blocked Donald Trump's tariff
00:15:49and in a statement said that Donald Trump, as a president, exceeded his authority.
00:15:54U.S. trade court blocked President Donald Trump's tariffs from going into effect,
00:15:59ruling that the president has overstepped his authority by imposing cross-border duties on imports
00:16:04on nations that sell more to United States of America than they buy.
00:16:09Now, this court, the Court of International Trade, has said the U.S. Constitution gives Congress
00:16:13exclusive authority to regulate commerce with other countries, but it is not overridden by president's emergency powers
00:16:19to safeguard the U.S. economy.
00:16:21Now, this is something that the entire world was very keenly looking at.
00:16:25Daniel, we did see one after the other.
00:16:27See, expect the unexpected.
00:16:28That is what a lot of people were looking at when Donald Trump became the president of the United States of America.
00:16:35They knew that there would be massive changes coming in.
00:16:37The tariffs, that's something that the world was very keenly looking at.
00:16:41And we also saw how the markets actually for a couple of days were shattered.
00:16:45With the kind of statements coming in, the U.S. court has now blocked those tariffs that Donald Trump was imposing.
00:16:52It has.
00:16:54And, you know, Donald Trump has suffered plenty of legal setbacks over the course of his first and now especially second term in office.
00:17:01And he's floated the idea repeatedly of disregarding court orders.
00:17:05There's some evidence that perhaps he actually has when it comes to particular immigration cases.
00:17:10This, in some ways, may be his biggest defeat yet.
00:17:14The tariffs have been thus far perhaps the policy that, if he's not the most proud of, the one that has gotten the most global attention,
00:17:22the one that has had the biggest effect on both the United States and the global economy.
00:17:28We know Trump loves tariffs.
00:17:29He said that tariff is his favorite word in the English dictionary.
00:17:32And so he was very proud of this.
00:17:34And he was, I think, and particularly attracted to tariffs because it was something that he could do unilaterally, or so he thought.
00:17:41But as the court noted, he's relied on emergently authority to issue all of these tariffs.
00:17:46He said that it's necessary to stop an invasion of fentanyl coming into the United States' borders.
00:17:51That it's also he's categorized the U.S. trade deficit as an emergency that he needs to correct.
00:17:57And what this appeals court has said, uniformly, it was a uniform, unanimous decision.
00:18:02And one of the judges who ruled against the Trump administration was actually appointed by Trump himself.
00:18:08They've said that actually, no, the White House has gone beyond what it's allowed to do.
00:18:12And so I think this is significant, one, just because of the magnitude of the setback for the Trump administration, and two, because this is really going to give Americans and the world a sense of whether the president is going to respect the system of checks and balances that the United States Constitution has set up.
00:18:30Courts have the authority to do this.
00:18:32They have the authority to tell the U.S. president that they can't pursue a policy.
00:18:36And, you know, this is a pretty big deal for Trump.
00:18:39Is he going to listen to the court or is this going to prompt an even bigger constitutional crisis than the one the United States is already in?
00:18:49Right.
00:18:50Daniel Geeta Mohana, Foreign Affairs Editor, also joining us on the broadcast.
00:18:54Geeta, with regards to tariff, and this is something which even the Indian administration was very keenly looking at,
00:18:59one of the courts said in its order very clearly that Donald Trump, as the president, exceeded his authority while he was imposing these tariffs.
00:19:09Well, it does come as a breather for many countries, particularly India, where we have seen the Trump administration be rather harsh with India,
00:19:19whereas they have paid heat to or reduced tariffs when it comes to many other countries, including America's biggest bet, you know, China.
00:19:31Having said that, I agree with Daniel that this certainly is a court decision that spells exactly what the limit of the U.S.
00:19:40the Trump administration or the presidential administration really is, that there is a Congress and that taxes and tariffs for other countries cannot be used as punishment.
00:19:54But, and that's one that could hugely impact the U.S. economy.
00:20:00It certainly is impacting the U.S. economy, even as we're looking at Trump using tariffs as a way and means to armpit countries and listening to what Trump really wants.
00:20:13So, the Trump administration now will have to see whether if they have any other option when it comes to going to the judiciary and looking at this case.
00:20:26But the court has been very, very clear that the president's office cannot use tariffs as leverage and that this is not permissible,
00:20:34that it has to go through the Congress and the emergency powers of the president is to safeguard the U.S. economy,
00:20:46not to override the decisions of the Congress.
00:20:51So, a very important decision that has come through, but one that we have to see how Trump really takes and what the Trump administration really does.
00:21:00For now, it's a very difficult and a tightrope walk for India when it comes to the tax conversations with the United States of America.
00:21:09It's only getting more difficult by the day.
00:21:12So, we're not looking at any relief for India because the conversations are certainly going to remain tough when it comes to India-U.S., not just tax talks, trade talks as well.
00:21:24Thank you, Geeta Mohan, Foreign Affairs Editor.
00:21:26Thank you, Daniel, for joining me on the broadcast.
00:21:28Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to kick off a packed four-day state tour.
00:21:34Prime Minister Modi is all set to begin his tour from Sikkim to Uttar Pradesh.
00:21:38This tour starts from today.
00:21:40Prime Minister Modi will begin when he will visit Sikkim for Sikkim at 50 celebrations and inaugurate development projects.
00:21:46He will then be all set to visiting the state of Fesbengal to lay the foundation stone for a city gas project.
00:21:52And then he will see him moving to Kunsh, Bihar before heading to the pole-bound state of Bihar.
00:21:57He will launch several development projects, address a rally in Bihar, following by a visit to the state of Uttar Pradesh for inauguration and foundation stone-laying ceremonies.
00:22:06I heard of his visit to the state of West Bengal.
00:22:08Prime Minister Modi launched a scathing attack at Mamta Banerjee-led TMC government, calling it corrupt and poorly administered.
00:22:14The TMC has hit back, calling Prime Minister a political tourist as well as accusing the centre of withholding funds for several development schemes across the state of West Bengal.
00:22:24Congress too has taken a scathing swipe by Prime Minister, calling him an expert in holding rallies, further questioning why the Prime Minister has not visited Behlgaam yet.
00:22:33The leadership of the Honourable Prime Minister, India is proceeding towards the development and you know that we are at present at the fourth position in the world as economy.
00:22:49We have crossed Japan.
00:22:51So in near future we will become the third.
00:22:54So this is our ultimate goal and our Honourable Prime Minister is doing the work.
00:23:00Let the Putinomul do politics.
00:23:03We will do the development.
00:23:03So this is our ultimate goal and our Honourable Prime Minister of the Honourable Prime Minister,
00:23:33our Honourable Prime Minister,
00:24:00foreign
00:24:30। । । ।
00:25:00। ।
00:25:30। ।
00:26:00। । ।
00:26:30Billionaire Elon Musk, which is now showing signs of strain.
00:26:34Elon Musk has now stepped down from Donald Trump's administration
00:26:37following Donald Trump's recent policies with regards to taxation and migration.
00:26:43This comes just a day after Elon Musk criticised Donald Trump's bill.
00:26:47Musk claimed that Donald Trump is spending massively,
00:26:50which will lead to a federal deficit.
00:26:51He said the bill will undermine all the work that Dodge did till now.
00:26:56Yesterday, Trump said the big was big and the bill was big and beautiful.
00:27:00Contradicting him, Elon Musk said the bill cannot both be big and beautiful.
00:27:05When Donald Trump learned of Musk's criticism,
00:27:08he said he would try to negotiate the bill and he's not happy with certain aspects of it.
00:27:15These are two men with enormous egos.
00:27:18Both of them think that they're the smartest people in the room,
00:27:21basically in any situation that they're in.
00:27:23And so there was inherently tension between the two from day one, as you were saying.
00:27:28And I think what started to happen eventually, although we'll see what the reporting says,
00:27:34we have to wait and understand, is that Musk got frustrated with the fact that he didn't have
00:27:39quite as free a hand as he thought he might.
00:27:42His Doge program ran into opposition in the courts, in the bureaucracy,
00:27:46sometimes within other members of the Trump government.
00:27:49And so eventually he felt that it was time for him to leave.
00:27:53And I think Trump, on the other hand, perhaps got frustrated at times that he was being
00:27:57outshone by Musk.
00:27:59I think that didn't sit terribly well with him.
00:28:01And so while he was happy to have him around and help him help out in various ways,
00:28:06it wasn't like he felt it was essential that Musk stay forever.
00:28:09Mr. President, Elon Musk, in a television interview, criticized the one big, beautiful bill,
00:28:16saying he was disappointed it didn't cut enough, essentially, that undercut the Doge efforts.
00:28:20What's your reaction to that?
00:28:21Well, my reaction's a lot of things.
00:28:23Number one, we have to get a lot of votes.
00:28:25We can't be cutting.
00:28:28You know, we need to get a lot of support.
00:28:31And we have a lot of support.
00:28:33We had to get it through the House.
00:28:34The House was, we have no Democrats.
00:28:36You know, if it's up to the Democrats, they'll take the 65% increase.
00:28:40You know, if that doesn't get approved, this country is going to have a 65% increase in
00:28:44taxes and lots of other problems, big problems, almost bigger than that.
00:28:50But we'll have a 65% increase as opposed to the largest tax cut in the history of our
00:28:56country.
00:28:57We will be negotiating that bill.
00:28:59And I'm not happy about certain aspects of it, but I'm thrilled by other aspects of
00:29:04it.
00:29:04That's the way they go.
00:29:05It's very big.
00:29:06It's the big, beautiful bill.
00:29:08But the beautiful is because of all of the things we have.
00:29:11The biggest thing being, I would say, the level of tax cutting that we're going to be
00:29:18doing.
00:29:18We're going to make people really be able to, we'll have one of the, we'll have the lowest
00:29:22tax rate we've ever had in the history of our country.
00:29:25And tremendous amounts of benefit are going to the middle income people of our country,
00:29:29low and middle income people of our country.
00:29:32So we're going to see what happens because the Senate, as you know, is negotiating with
00:29:36us.
00:29:37And they have to then go back to the house and, you know, it's got a way to go.
00:29:40But I have to say Speaker Johnson and Thune has done an incredible job.
00:29:46John Thune has done a fantastic, leader Thune, a fantastic job.
00:29:51And they're working together with me and others.
00:29:53And I think we have an amazing, if we pull this off, remember, we have zero Democrat votes
00:29:58because they're bad people.
00:29:59There's something wrong with them.
00:30:00My colleague Pranay is now joining me on the story.
00:30:07Pranay, the big question now that everyone will be asking is that as the chief of Dodge,
00:30:11it is Elon Musk who's now stepped down, who will be next?
00:30:14That's a big question.
00:30:17The big question also remains, Ashwarya, that will there be a next?
00:30:20Because Department of Government efficiency, there have been questions about the efficiency
00:30:24of the department itself and the legal validity, the rationale behind the Department of Government
00:30:30efficiency, which claims to have, like, you know, put a stoppage on the wasteful expenditure
00:30:36of the U.S. administration around $160 billion.
00:30:39This is what the Doge claimed.
00:30:41But will President Donald Trump would like to have a continuation of Doge or with any,
00:30:47like, you know, a big figure like Elon Musk?
00:30:51Or he will continue because the processes which were laid down by the Department of Government
00:30:56efficiency under Elon Musk, whether they'll continue because many people are asking that
00:31:02has it been effective what President Trump wanted to implement or we have to find out
00:31:08or devise out a new mechanism.
00:31:10So, like, you know, with President Donald Trump, you can always expect something new.
00:31:14We can always expect the unexpected things.
00:31:17So, Department of Government efficiency, there are questions about the future of Department
00:31:21of Government efficiency because initially it was only planned for a certain period and
00:31:26Department of Government efficiency only laid down those procedures.
00:31:29Whether those procedures will continue or not, we are yet to see about that.
00:31:32But what happened between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is also very interesting because initially
00:31:37they started with, like, you know, during the campaign and when Elon Musk joined President
00:31:41Donald Trump, there was, like, you know, a lot of hype about his involvement because
00:31:46he's the richest man on earth.
00:31:48And the way he got involved in Trump presidency, like, you know, for him to give him the larger
00:31:56space, Vivek Ramaswamy was made to withdraw from the government of Department of Efficiency
00:32:01and he was sent to Ohio, which I think he wanted to contest for the governorship.
00:32:07But subsequently, if you see that the decision of, like, you know, the decision of President
00:32:13Donald Trump on deportation policy and the way Elon Musk raised his concern and in a way
00:32:18he criticized as well.
00:32:20Also, the tariff policies of Donald Trump, which President Donald Trump loves a lot and
00:32:25he said that the most beautiful word on the English dictionary for him is tariff.
00:32:29So, clearly, the differences were, like, you know, started propping up between both President
00:32:35Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
00:32:37And the last point I wanted to make here, Aishwarya, is that I think Elon Musk's decision
00:32:42to call off or sign off from Department of Government Efficiency is also the efficiency
00:32:46of his own business interests because the Tesla, the flagship brand of his business empire
00:32:52started getting, like, you know, getting hurt by his involvement in the government and
00:32:57there were widespread protests, not even in America, but even the European market was
00:33:02getting impacted for the Tesla.
00:33:03Pranay, please stay on with me.
00:33:06For the viewers, now let us tell you exactly what DOJ was and how it had led to a lot of
00:33:11disruptive changes.
00:33:12The big question, a lot of people asked was, was there a need that the U.S. should have
00:33:18DOJ?
00:33:19They shrunk the federal jobs through threats of firing and even buyouts.
00:33:23So, that's something that we saw the first of the decisions that were being taken.
00:33:26Eliminated entire government agencies.
00:33:29This is also one of the things that we did see taking place.
00:33:33The next step was cut 12% of the 2.3 million federal civilian workforce.
00:33:39So, that's something that the United States actually got a shock from.
00:33:43This was a decision of cutting 12% of the federal civilian workforce, 12% out of the 2.3 million.
00:33:50Aggressive reviews led to oversight eliminations.
00:33:53A lot of eliminations were being done because initially DOJ was very, very aggressive with regards
00:33:58to the spending that the government was doing.
00:34:01Digitization led to legal and security risk with regards to the Treasury Department.
00:34:05That's also something that a lot of citizens in the United States were very, very worried
00:34:09about because a lot of digitization was happening and this led to legal and security risk in the
00:34:15Treasury Department.
00:34:16Purvis service proceedings delayed due to technical failures.
00:34:20That's also something that because of DOJ, a lot of people had to face.
00:34:24So, the public service proceedings were also being delayed.
00:34:27So, these were some of the controversial decisions that were being taken initially as DOJ came
00:34:33to being.
00:34:33The big question now is, with Elon Musk now stepping down, moving away from Donald Trump's
00:34:38cabinet, will DOJ continue?
00:34:40The first question a lot of people are asking and who will now look at DOJ?
00:34:43That's the second big question that a lot of people are now asking.
00:34:47News that's coming in at the moment in Azerbaijan.
00:34:58It's the Pakistani Prime Minister, Shahbaz Sharif, who's reiterated his willingness to have a conversation
00:35:03with Indian Prime Minister.
00:35:05Pakistani Prime Minister, Shahbaz Sharif, reiterated his willingness to hold talks with India,
00:35:10saying that the two sides must now sit down together and must address various issues.
00:35:15Issues including Kashmir, water and terrorism.
00:35:19So, this is an olive branch which has now been extended by the Pakistani Prime Minister, Shahbaz
00:35:23Sharif.
00:35:25In Azerbaijan, he's reiterated that he's now willing to hold conversation with India.
00:35:30My colleague, Pranay Upadhyay, with me on the story.
00:35:34Pranay, a U-turn of sorts.
00:35:35We are seeing, in fact, you know, these kind of statements, not the first time the Pakistani
00:35:39Prime Minister, Shahbaz Sharif, has been making over the past few days at different places.
00:35:45We are seeing an olive branch of sorts being extended by Shahbaz Sharif, the Pakistani Prime
00:35:49Minister.
00:35:52The bigger question here, Aishwarya, is that whether Pakistan is walking the talk?
00:35:56Because this is the duality of standard.
00:35:58Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif might have reiterated his, like, you know, his intent
00:36:03to have conversation, have, like, you know, peace talks with India, to engage India.
00:36:07But what they are doing, and he was accompanied by Field Marshal General Asim Munir, who is being
00:36:13accused for, like, you know, for the Pahlgham terror attack and, like, you know, to harboring
00:36:18these terror, and as an institution as well.
00:36:21The Pakistani army, the kind of connivance, the kind of confluence, the kind of influence
00:36:26they have on these terror outfits, and they are harboring these terrors, and they have
00:36:30been using.
00:36:31And this is not a claim made by India.
00:36:33This has been validated by many leaders in Pakistan that, yes, they did use terror outfits
00:36:39as a tool of foreign policy.
00:36:41They did use against the other countries, be it Afghanistan, be it India.
00:36:45And many of the leaders accepted it.
00:36:46And therefore, India has called out enough of enough, because if you have heard Prime
00:36:51Minister Narendra Modi clearly stating that there are only two topics on which we can
00:36:55engage with Pakistan.
00:36:57One is POK, which is the Pakistani-occupied Kashmir.
00:36:59If they want to return, they are most welcome to come to join us on table.
00:37:03And also, if they want to return the terrorists who have perpetrated genius terror crimes and
00:37:10terror attacks on India, they are welcome to join.
00:37:13But besides that, there is no point, because we have gone through the entire composite dialogue
00:37:16process, we have gone through this process, and with every process, with every effort,
00:37:20with every peace gesture, we got a terror attack in return.
00:37:24So there is no point in talking to Pakistan unless they stop, and there is an irrefutable
00:37:29evidence, an irreversible action against terrorism in Pakistan.
00:37:36Thank you, Pranay, for giving us those details.
00:37:41Once again, listen in to what the Pakistani Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, has said in
00:37:45Azerbaijan, extending an olive branch to India, and the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
00:37:50Listen in.
00:37:50We are ready to talk, for the sake of peace, on water issue, with a neighbor, we are ready
00:38:04to talk, to promote trade, and also counter-terrorism, if they are serious.
00:38:14But if they choose to remain aggressor, then we shall defend our territory, and our country,
00:38:24like we have done a few days ago, by the grace of God.
00:38:31But if they accept my offer of peace, then we will show that we really want peace, seriously
00:38:42and sincerely.
00:39:12Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, all set to meet the Navy personnel, on board INS Vikrant.
00:39:17Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will be going to Goa tomorrow, to welcome INVS Tarini, which
00:39:22is returning after successful Navika Sagar Parikrama.
00:39:26He will further go on board INS Vikrant.
00:39:28INS Vikrant is currently sailing in the Arabian Sea.
00:39:32Defence Minister will then be meeting the Navy personnel, on board INS Vikrant.
00:39:37INS Vikrant played a very crucial role in Operation Sindhu.
00:39:41So it will be the Defence Minister who will be meeting the Navy personnel, on board INS Vikrant.
00:39:45INS Vikrant played a very, very crucial role in Operation Sindhu.
00:39:50News coming in from the sources.
00:39:52It is the Defence Minister who will be in Goa tomorrow.
00:39:56He will be welcoming the INS V Tarini, which is returning after a successful Navika Sagar Parikrama.
00:40:01Then he will go on board INS Vikrant, currently sailing in the Arabian Sea.
00:40:08My colleague Shivani Sharma is now joining me on the story.
00:40:11Shivani, this will be a big step by the Defence Minister.
00:40:13He will be meeting the Navy personnel, on board INS Vikrant.
00:40:16And we all know the crucial role that was played by INS Vikrant during Operation Sindhu.
00:40:21The Defence Minister will be meeting the Navy personnel for two continuous days.
00:40:29Today he will be in Goa, where he will be welcoming the two lady naval officers, who were on Navika Sagar Parikrama.
00:40:36And they have set multiple records.
00:40:39He will be welcoming these two lady officers, Lieutenant Commander Dilna and Lieutenant Commander Rufa.
00:40:43And today he will be in Goa meeting the Navy personnel, while tomorrow he will be on board INS Vikrant.
00:40:51There he will be meeting the officials of the Navy who were deployed aggressively in the Arabian Sea during the Operation Sindhu.
00:40:58So, as we have already seen that after Operation Sindhu, Defence Minister has already visited the front line bases of the Indian Air Force,
00:41:04along with the can't areas in Badami Bagh in Srinagar, where he met the heroes of Operation Sindhu.
00:41:11This will be the first time when he will be interacting with the Navy officials who were a part of Operation Sindhu,
00:41:16and that too on board of INS Vikrant, that happens to be India's own indigenous aircraft carrier and India's right, Aishwarya.
00:41:23Thank you Shivani for giving us those details.
00:41:25The Defence Minister will be in Goa and will be meeting the Navy personnel on board INS Vikrant.
00:41:31INS Vikrant played a very crucial role in Operation Sindhu.
00:41:34We are moving now to the big war that we are seeing happening between Shashi Tharoor and the Congress Party.
00:41:44Congress MP Shashi Tharoor facing criticism from within his party because of the strong remarks he made against Pakistan and terror groups,
00:41:52calling it an official visit to Panama.
00:41:54Congress leader of this Raj openly slammed Shashi Tharoor, calling him a super BJP spokesperson.
00:41:59Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera also responded by sharing an old interview of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh,
00:42:06where Manmohan Singh spoke about surgical strikes carried out during the UPA government.
00:42:10He even posted a photo showing Indian soldiers outside a captured Pakistani police station during the past operation.
00:42:17Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also backed criticism by reposting Udit Raj's comments.
00:42:22The internal rift out in the open comes just days after Congress expressed displeasure over the government choosing Shashi Tharoor for the overseas mission.
00:42:31BJP has backed Shashi Tharoor.
00:42:32Union Minister Kiran Rijiju has hit back at Congress, asking what is the party expected from the delegates who were sent abroad to represent India on a very sensitive issue like this.
00:42:42Shashi Tharoor has done nothing wrong.
00:42:43So this is the BJP now backing Shashi Tharoor, but the Congress now saying that Shashi Tharoor's remarks were being uncalled for.
00:42:50This is a new war that we are seeing taking place.
00:42:54Congress on one side, Shashi Tharoor on the other side.
00:42:57In fact, Shashi Tharoor's name was not given by the Congress Party.
00:43:00And that's the reason why the Congress Party is now saying that it was a government decision.
00:43:05And they chose Shashi Tharoor even though that name was not given from the Congress Party.
00:43:10Kiran Rijiju is now saying, what do you expect?
00:43:12These are the people who are now going as mascots of India to various countries.
00:43:17They need to speak about what India has done.
00:43:19Shashi Tharoor, over the past few days, has been praising Prime Minister Nayindra Modi and Operation Sindhu.
00:43:26With regards to that, the top leaders in the Congress Party have now started raising questions.
00:43:32Now listen in to what Shashi Tharoor has been saying.
00:43:35What has changed in recent years is that the terrorists have also realized they will have a price to pay.
00:43:55On that, let there be no doubt.
00:43:59When, for the first time, India breached the line of control between India and Pakistan to conduct a surgical strike on a terror base, a launch pad,
00:44:12the Uri strike in September 2015, that was already something we had not done before.
00:44:19For even during the Kargil war, we had not crossed the line of control.
00:44:23In Uri we did.
00:44:24Then came the attack in Pulwama in January 2019.
00:44:30This time we crossed not only the line of control, we crossed the international border and we struck a terrorist headquarters in Balakot.
00:44:38Our Prime Minister has made it very clear, Operation Sindhu was necessary because these terrorists came and wiped the Sindhu off the foreheads of 26 women
00:44:52by depriving them of their husbands and father, their married lives.
00:44:59In fact, there were some women who cried out, the terrorists, kill me too.
00:45:05And they said, no, go back, tell what happened to you.
00:45:09We heard, we heard their cries.
00:45:13And India decided that the color of the Sindhu, that vermilion color of the forehead of our women,
00:45:21will also match the color of the blood of the killers, the perpetrators, the attackers.
00:45:27We heard, we heard, only say the presiding movement related to the body of the
00:45:28unions that areleigh in να be kul Shopping them into veil.
00:45:30A lot of women have been able to see the
00:45:54My colleague Amit Bharadwaj is now joining me on the story.
00:46:10Amit, it's an all-out war that we are seeing playing in front of our eyes.
00:46:13Shashi Tharoor on one side, the entire Congress on the other side.
00:46:16Top leaders have now started questioning the loyalty of Shashi Tharoor.
00:46:24Aishwarya, look, you know, all of these opposition leaders who are part of the multi-party delegation,
00:46:29which is on a diplomatic mission right now, are walking on a very tight rope.
00:46:34So they have to safeguard the interest of the nation, you know,
00:46:37put out a message that India stands united in this moment when we are fighting against Pakistan-backed terrorism.
00:46:44But while doing so, you also have to keep in mind your own party's interest.
00:46:49You know, you have to look at how Asad Ovesi of MIM is speaking or Abhishek Banerjee of the Taranamul Congress is speaking.
00:46:56In comparison to that, what Shashi Tharoor's statement was yesterday in particular has ached the entire Congress leadership
00:47:03or at least, so to say, the people who spearhead the media communications of the Congress Party.
00:47:09Pavan Khaira, Jairam Ramesh, and you also have specific spokespersons who otherwise are said to be,
00:47:16you know, non-official versions of the Congress Party.
00:47:20Often, you know, Congress walks away from the statements that they give, like Odit Raj.
00:47:26But what has happened in this particular case is that Odit Raj attacked Shashi Tharoor.
00:47:31Mr. Pavan Khaira endorsed that attack.
00:47:33Retweets happened and now, even through the day, in the past 12 hours, to be very specific,
00:47:39Pavan Khaira has been tweeting out instances, for instance, how Mr. S. Jai Shankar back in 2016
00:47:46had said that India has been carrying out anti-terror or counter-terror strikes in Pakistan,
00:47:54which were very precise and hitting these specific targets even before 2016,
00:47:59but they were not made public and in those tweets he's seeing Shashi Tharoor.
00:48:04So, the attack is very clear and a very strong banter has also come from Mr. Jairam Ramesh.
00:48:10Back to you.
00:48:11Thank you, Amit, giving us those details.
00:48:13My colleague also pointed out that now we are seeing a war being fought on social media.
00:48:18Now, it's the Congress MP Shashi Tharoor back in the headlines,
00:48:21but this time not taking on the opposition, but for taking heat from his own party.
00:48:25The fiery support that he's been given to Operation Sindhu has triggered a big political firestorm within the Congress Party.
00:48:32What's happening in Congress? Take a look.
00:48:35We heard their cries and India decided that the colour of the Sindhu,
00:48:42that vermilion colour on the forehead of our women,
00:48:45will also match the colour of the blood of the killers, the perpetrators, the attackers.
00:48:52Shashi Tharoor salutes India's Operation Sindhu.
00:48:58A fiery tribute, a thundering endorsement,
00:49:02and one that's echoing across borders,
00:49:05both political and geographic.
00:49:08Tharoor hailed India for breaching not just the LOC,
00:49:12but even the international border.
00:49:15A first in its strike against terror.
00:49:18Our Prime Minister has made it very clear.
00:49:24Operation Sindhu was necessary because these terrorists came
00:49:30and wiped the Sindhu off the foreheads of 26 women
00:49:35by depriving them of their husbands and their married lives.
00:49:41In fact, there were some women who cried out the terrorists, kill me too.
00:49:47And they said, no, go back, tell what happened to you.
00:49:53But in doing so, it seems he may have crossed a line of his own.
00:49:59The party's Lakshman Rekha.
00:50:01Congress leader Udit Raj lashed out,
00:50:06calling Tharoor the super spokesperson of the BJP.
00:50:10According to him,
00:50:12Shashi Tharoor sounds more loyal to Prime Minister Modi
00:50:15than some BJP leaders themselves.
00:50:17Shashi Tharoor sounds more loyal to the BJP.
00:50:48Congress media chief Pawan Khera too joined in,
00:50:51reposting Udit Raj's tweet and tagging Tharoor.
00:50:55He highlighted the surgical strikes were conducted
00:50:58during the UPA era under Manmohan Singh as well.
00:51:02Congress veteran Jairam Ramesh too,
00:51:04backed Udit Raj's post.
00:51:07Not the first time since Jairam Ramesh
00:51:09previously made it clear that Tharoor's stand was his own.
00:51:13The message from the party's top brass is loud, clear and cold.
00:51:26This isn't the first time Tharoor has found himself fighting his own.
00:51:30While he's been getting flowers from foes,
00:51:35he's facing fire from friends.
00:51:38According to sources,
00:51:40some Congress leaders had earlier claimed
00:51:42Tharoor crossed a Lakshman Rekha
00:51:44with his repeated remarks on the India-Pakistan conflict.
00:51:49In fact,
00:51:50his name was dropped from Congress' delegation's list
00:51:53linked to Operation Sindur,
00:51:55even after he accepted the centre's invite
00:51:58to join a multi-party diplomatic mission abroad.
00:52:03Speaking about his praise for Modi,
00:52:06that too is not new.
00:52:08And the Prime Minister has also taken note
00:52:10weeks ago at an event,
00:52:12Prime Minister Modi taunted the Congress
00:52:15while sharing the stage with Tharoor.
00:52:17So while the saffron side smiles at Shashi Tharoor's praise,
00:52:43the knives are out in Tharoor's own party.
00:52:47In this crossfire of principles and politics,
00:52:51one thing's clear.
00:52:52When Shashi Tharoor speaks,
00:52:54it's not just the opposition that listens.
00:52:57It's the Congress that flinches.

00:58:06Home Minister.
00:58:07Now, Amit Shah all set to visit Jammu and Kashmir, a two-day visit.
00:58:11Now, we will see Prime Minister also kicking off a packed four-day state tour.
00:58:15Prime Minister Narendra Modi all set to begin the four-day state tour.
00:58:18He will be going from Sikkim to Uttar Pradesh.
00:58:21Today, the Prime Minister will visit Sikkim for Sikkim at 50 celebrations and inaugurate development projects.

00:58:46Ahead of his visit to the state of West Bengal, Prime Minister launched a scathing attack on Mamata Banerjee and the TMC government.
00:58:54Prime Minister said TMC government in the state of West Bengal is extremely corrupt and the state is poorly administered.
00:59:00The TMC has hit back.
00:59:01They are saying Prime Minister Modi is a political tourist and also accused the centre of withholding funds for several development schemes in the state of Bengal.
00:59:09Congress also had a scathing swipe at Prime Minister Modi, calling him an expert in holding rallies without questioning
00:59:15and also further questioned why Prime Minister is visiting various states, but he has not visited Belgaon in Jammu and Kashmir.
00:59:22The leadership of the Honorable Prime Minister, India is proceeding towards the development and you know that we are at present at the fourth position in the world as economy.
00:59:36We have crossed Japan. So in near future we will become the third. So this is our ultimate goal and our Honorable Prime Minister is doing the work.

01:03:10my colleague Anupam Mishra is now joining me on the story
01:03:15Anupam we will see Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the state of West Bengal
01:03:18it's the TMC versus BJP war that we are already seeing playing in front of our eyes
01:03:25well yeah ashwarya yes it has always been TMC versus BJP for the past few years
01:03:33and we have seen that TMC has accused especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi
01:03:37and Home Minister Amit Shah as migratory birds who come before the election
01:03:41and this time also TMC is accusing Prime Minister
01:03:44and they are also holding a campaign hashtag
01:03:47and they are demanding their dues central funds
01:03:51so the war of wars have already started between TMC and BJP
01:03:56whereas Prime Minister has accused that people of Bengal are tired with corruption of TMC
01:04:02and mismanagement, misadministration
01:04:04so let's see what happens when Prime Minister comes here and he holds the public meeting
01:04:09he will certainly say a lot of things about West Bengal
01:04:12he will apart from laying foundation stone of several projects
01:04:18he will also I think accuse Bengal of several things
01:04:23especially corruption and misadministration
01:04:25so he will start his two day visit with Sikkim
01:04:28initially he will be in Sikkim in the first half of the day
01:04:32and then where he will be joining the celebration of 50 year of statehood of Sikkim
01:04:38and then he will come to Bengal in Alipurdwar at around 2pm
01:04:42Thank you Anupam giving us those details
01:04:46now in the state of West Bengal
01:04:47we will see a fiery fight taking place between Prime Minister Narendra Modi
01:04:50and Mamata Banerji and the TMC government
01:04:53Now the Kannada versus Tamil Nadu controversy continues to snowball
01:04:58actor-turned-netha Kamal Hassan continues to face massive backlash
01:05:02over his controversial remark
01:05:04he said the Kannada language was born out of the Tamil language
01:05:08and this remark was made during the audio launch of his upcoming film Thug Life
01:05:12there is a complaint that has been lodged against the Makkal Nidhi Mayim chief
01:05:16accusing him of hurting the sentiments of the Kannadigas
01:05:19attempting to incite tensions between Kannadigas and Tamilians
01:05:23and also to disturb public peace
01:05:25Kamal Hassan has refused to apologize for his remarks
01:05:28claiming that his comments were made out of love
01:05:31and language debate should be left to experts
01:05:33in fact Kannataka chief minister has slammed the actor for his remarks
01:05:37asserting Kannataka's rich and independent history
01:05:40politicians are not qualified to talk about language
01:05:44politicians are not qualified to talk about language
01:05:51they don't have the education enough to talk about it
01:05:56that includes me
01:06:00so let's leave all these very in-depth discussions to historians
01:06:03archaeologists and language experts
01:06:04once again Kamala Hassan the senior actor
01:06:10he said that Kannada is born from the Tamil language
01:06:11he said that Kannada is born from the Tamil language
01:06:13and Tamil language
01:06:17once again Kamala Hassan the senior actor he said that Kannada is born from the Tamil language
01:06:25he is not even giving any apology for that
01:06:32we Indians believe that all the languages Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, all other languages are not
01:06:40written from the Sanskrit people like Kamala Hassan
01:06:55people like Kamala Hassan out of his ignorance, out of his arrogance, give such statements
01:07:01Kannada is also great Indian language, Tamil is also great Indian language
01:07:05Kannada is also great Indian language
01:07:07Kannada is also great Indian language
01:07:09when our language is speaking, Kannada, Ja alright, and the term, and the term, and the term, and every child
01:07:12and the term, the term, the term, and the term, in Kamala Hassan
01:07:17there has no problem with that
01:07:20that is not the case for us
01:07:22when we call Kamala Hassan
01:07:24in the example to the solution
01:07:27we call his knowledge
01:07:30not only his knowledge
01:07:32like he is in the word
01:07:34It is the right thing.
01:07:38It is the right thing.
01:07:42We can't get a book out of our own page.
01:07:45You can't get some books out of my own page.
01:07:50We can't get some books out of our page.
01:07:53We can't get some books out of our page.
01:07:57I can't get any books out of our page.
01:08:01Now we are seeing the Karnataka chief minister also slamming the actor Kamala Sun for the remarks.
01:08:09Siddharth Amaiya in a statement said Karnataka has a very rich and independent history
01:08:13and people, especially actors, those who are at influential positions,
01:08:17they should not be the ones to making these kind of remarks.
01:08:20The Kannadigas are now up in arms and we are seeing the pro-Karnada group
01:08:24tearing the posters of Kamala Sun's new film Thug Life.
01:08:27A lot of the posters in the city of Bengaluru were in fact torn.
01:08:31Not just that, a complaint has also been lodged against Kamala Sun.
01:08:44News that's coming in from the United States of America.
01:08:46Now U.S. to revoke visas of Chinese students, lengths of students with Communist Party links.
01:08:52The United States in a statement has said they will scrutinize visas from China and from Hong Kong.
01:08:59It's not just this, the United States administration has now also asked embassies
01:09:03to vet the social media profile of the foreign students who are coming to the United States of America to study.
01:09:10A new war growing between the United States and China.
01:09:14U.S. in a statement has said that the administration will now scrutinize visas of students coming in from China and from Hong Kong.
01:09:23Lends on students who have had Communist Party links.
01:09:26United States of America are set to revoke visas of Chinese students.
01:09:33This is a whip that we are seeing which is being cracked by the U.S. administration.
01:09:38My colleague Pranay Upadhyay now joining me on the story.
01:09:41Pranay, it's not just India where students at the moment are in a limbo.
01:09:45We are seeing a very stern statement coming in with regards to visas being given to Chinese students.
01:09:51You're absolutely right, Aishwarya.
01:09:53This is a very stern message and which has been put out by none other than the Secretary of State
01:09:57that the U.S. administration is going to aggressively revoke the visas of Chinese students,
01:10:03especially those who have linkages with the Chinese Communist Party.
01:10:06The Trump administration's ban on Chinese citizens is largely driven by a mix of security concerns,
01:10:11the geopolitical posturing, and also with their domestic political strategy.
01:10:16Because it also has some linkages with this crackdown on the institutions like Harvard University,
01:10:22Columbia University, because these institutions have a large number of Chinese students getting enrolled.
01:10:28However, the policy, like a broad application and the legal pushback is also expected by these citizens.
01:10:34But largely it is intended to target or de-protect the interests of STEM,
01:10:40which is a science, technology, electronics, and mathematics stream.
01:10:44Because for quite some time there have been allegations that these students are involved,
01:10:50especially in the high-end research in STEM branches, to filter the technology to China.
01:10:56And like, you know, they are also, they were private-running gangs operating in the United States.
01:11:04So we are here to see that how forcefully they would be able to implement.
01:11:07And like, you know, if you could see that Marco Rubio's tweet, Aishwarya,
01:11:11just beneath that there is a statement by, there is a post by Lara Loomer,
01:11:15who is a Trump supporter, saying that Xi Jinping's daughter studied in Harvard University
01:11:20and she lives in Massachusetts, in Manhattan.
01:11:22So, like, you know, Xi should be thrown out.
01:11:25These are the eco-chamber voices which are coming from the Trump supporters.
01:11:34Thank you, Pranay, for giving us all those details.
01:11:38We are now seeing glens of students with Communist Party links.
01:11:41United States now keeping a hawk's eye on visas being given to Chinese students.
01:11:46Now, Russia conducted one of the largest drone and missile attacks on Ukraine
01:11:52on the 25th and the 26th of May, after three nights of record strikes.
01:11:57This large-scale attack has prompted U.S. President Donald Trump
01:12:00to lambast the Russian counterpart on the truth social account.
01:12:05In fact, there seems to be a direct no relation in spike to Russian attacks
01:12:08following the failed ceasefire efforts and tense Russia-Ukraine talks.
01:12:13One of U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign promises
01:12:18was to solve the Russia-Ukraine war in less than 24 hours.
01:12:22But he doesn't seem to be having much success with it.
01:12:25On May 25th and 26th, Russia launched one of its most intense offensives against Ukraine.
01:12:31President Zelensky of Ukraine claimed that Russia launched
01:12:34more than 900 drones and missiles over a period of three days.
01:12:39When Trump came to power on 20th January this year,
01:12:42he did try to have multiple talks with both Putin as well as Zelensky
01:12:47to figure out a ceasefire.
01:12:48He called Putin on 12th February
01:12:51and then there was the U.S.-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia on 18th February.
01:12:57But despite that, there was an intense increase in strikes by Russia into Ukraine.
01:13:02After that, over in March, U.S. and Ukraine did offer a 30-day ceasefire period to Russia,
01:13:08which Russia kind of refused because it did not want to meet any of Ukraine's demands.
01:13:14There was a little bit of a lull during which period Trump again tried to hold talks
01:13:19between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul.
01:13:22But Putin did not turn up for the talks and neither did Trump.
01:13:26Zelensky called them very low-level talks
01:13:28and it seems they were not very successful because Russia has actually increased its airstrikes
01:13:33and as you can see, there has been a sudden spike in the drone and missile attacks from Russia into Ukraine.
