She explained the decision as part of Washington’s strategy to squeeze Moscow by targeting nations still trading with it.

00:00:00U.S. threatens sanctions on India yet again.
00:00:04U.S. says sanctions on India will end war.
00:00:08White House has come out to say Trump has sanctioned India to end war.
00:00:12The president has taken actions to pressure Putin,
00:00:15like the sanctions on India to end this Russia-Ukraine war.
00:00:19The president has put tremendous public pressure to bring this war to a close
00:00:24and he has taken actions, as you've seen, sanctions on India and other actions as well.
00:00:28He's made himself very clear that he wants to see this war
00:00:32and he has rejected the ideas of others that have been raised
00:00:35that we should wait another month before any meetings take place.
00:00:40This is the big breaking, viewers, that we bring to you right at the top of the segment of the Bulletin.
00:00:44Let's quickly first listen in to what Caroline Leavitt had to say from the White House
00:00:49on this very matter before we proceed with the discussion.
00:00:53The president has put tremendous public pressure to bring this war to a close.
00:00:57He's taken actions, as you've seen, sanctions on India and other actions as well.
00:01:03He's made himself very clear that he wants to see this war end
00:01:06and he has scoffed at the ideas of others that have been raised
00:01:10that we should wait another month before any meeting takes place.
00:01:13The president wants to move and he wants to bring this war to an end as quickly as possible.
00:01:18Pranay Upadhyay joins me on the broadcast to, in fact, put it into further context.
00:01:22Pranay, very good morning to you.
00:01:23To let us understand this, yet again we see a mention of India and again in terms of sanctions,
00:01:29that is, this time by the White House on the Russia-Ukraine situation.
00:01:34How are we looking at these repeated comments or rather mentions of sanctions against India
00:01:40when we are discussing Russia-Ukraine, especially at a time when we've seen
00:01:44that the situation has been on a positive side at this point in terms of talks?
00:01:49Good morning, Shia.
00:01:51And as you pointed out, how freely the word sanction is being used
00:01:56for the additional tariffs imposed by the U.S. side.
00:02:01So clearly, we can make out what is going on in the Trump administration
00:02:06as far as the India policy is concerned.
00:02:09Definitely, President Donald Trump and his administration is trying to justify their action.
00:02:13But how ironic this is, that on one side, President Donald Trump,
00:02:18who is so-called being so hard on India and other countries to put pressure on Russia,
00:02:25but letting, you know, bilateral trade with Russia going up,
00:02:28because it was said by none other than the Russian President Vladimir Putin himself in Alaska,
00:02:34in the presence of President Donald Trump, that bilateral trade between Russia and the United States
00:02:39have gone up in the last six months since President Donald Trump assumed office.
00:02:44So 20% increase in bilateral trade between Russia and the United States was marked during this duration.
00:02:51So clearly, there is some, you know, duality or there is some difference in policy
00:02:58as far as President Donald Trump and his administration is concerned.
00:03:02But clearly, India can make out and, you know, rather than engaging with India
00:03:07or rather than, you know, pursuing the bilateral trade negotiations,
00:03:12President Donald Trump and his administration chose not to engage with India right now
00:03:16because their focus remains to find a solution with Russia-Ukraine conflict.
00:03:21And for that, they might be trying.
00:03:24India appreciated the Alaska summit between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin.
00:03:29But, you know, on the other side, as far as the tariffs are concerned,
00:03:33additional tariffs, 50% are now, they have put,
00:03:37the U.S. administration has put India in the category of, you know,
00:03:40the maximum tariff countries.
00:03:43So clearly, the additional products, including steel and including the other, you know, product lines,
00:03:49you know, tariff lines have also been added to these additional tariffs.
00:03:54So definitely, this remains a matter of concern.
00:03:57But India is waiting for U.S. to engage with India, you know,
00:04:02as far as the tariff and trade negotiations are concerned,
00:04:05U.S. delegation which was scheduled to visit India is not coming right now,
00:04:11which has been conveyed by the U.S. side to India.
00:04:13But this remains a question that why U.S. is on one side letting, you know,
00:04:21bilateral trade with Russia going up.
00:04:23On the other side, they are trying to punish.
00:04:26And also, we have to notice, Russia here, that the biggest buyer of the Russian oil remains China.
00:04:31But as far as the China policy is concerned,
00:04:34China still enjoy a 90-day tariff cruise with United States.
00:04:38Right. Right, Pranay.
00:04:40Thank you for bringing into context what exactly has been said by Caroline Levert from White House at this given point.
00:04:48And viewers, that's all that we have for you on this very story for the moment.
00:04:51We will keep a track of how things proceed.
00:04:53More breaking news coming in at this point.
00:05:04China's Wang Yi in meeting with India's Modi.
00:05:08As I said, in terms of border issues, we have formed a new consensus
00:05:13on normalizing control, maintaining peace and tranquility in border areas.
00:05:18This is what, in fact, has been said.
00:05:21So, this is the particular breaking news that we're bringing to you at this given point
00:05:25in terms of the very meeting that's taken place between the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi
00:05:30and him meeting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi itself between August 18th and 19th
00:05:36on the invitation of India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval
00:05:39and also included co-chairing the 24th round of Special Representatives talks
00:05:45on the India-China boundary issue with Doval.
00:05:47Now, we have Shivani Sharma who's joining us at this point on the broadcast.
00:05:52Shivani, do put this into context for us, what has been said by the Chinese Foreign Minister
00:05:57at this point in terms of normalizing border and what new form are they talking about here?
00:06:06See, Shriya, India and China have been working together to solve the boundary issues since last one year
00:06:11when Prime Minister Narendra Modi had met the Chinese President Xi Jinping
00:06:15and we've already seen that disengagement happened from Demtrak and Debsang Plains since then.
00:06:20The patrolling goes on.
00:06:22But there are some remaining issues which need to be resolved.
00:06:25So, on that front, India has been working closely with China
00:06:28and since 2020, there has been tremendous progress on ground
00:06:33and the meeting of Wong Yi with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:06:37and before that, he met NSA Ajit Doval with a special representative stock
00:06:41where the boundary issues were issued, were discussed
00:06:44and before that, with Dr. S. Jaishankar.
00:06:46So, this was a very important three-level meeting
00:06:50where the Chinese Foreign Minister and Indian Crime Minister,
00:06:55Indian NSA and the External Affairs Minister discussed a number of issues
00:06:59including how to improve trade, how to improve and open the trade points
00:07:03along Shipkila, Nathula and Lipu Lake border points,
00:07:08starting the direct flights to improve the people-to-people connect between India and China
00:07:13and not only this, but a number of other issues regarding the sanctions
00:07:17and easing the trade between India and China were also discussed.
00:07:21So, overall, this was a very fruitful meeting and also significant
00:07:24because it's happening right before when Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:07:28is scheduled to visit China for the SCO Summit.
00:07:33Right, Shivani, thank you for bringing us all those details.
00:07:36Well, viewers, as we discuss of India and China's ties,
00:07:39let's take you through all that's happened in the last two days
00:07:43between the two nations.
00:07:46But before that, there is some more breaking news that's coming in at this given point.
00:07:49Let's quickly take you through that as we, in fact, move on in the very bulletin.
00:08:03Viewers, this is breaking news from within the domestic arena now.
00:08:07Centre's new bill to sack criminal Netas, the bill to empower the centre
00:08:12to sack Prime Minister, Chief Minister and Mantris.
00:08:16Netas held for serious crimes, face removal.
00:08:19The bill, in fact, proposes arrest for 30 days,
00:08:23sacking as Prime Minister and Chief Minister or Mantri portfolio,
00:08:27which will be held by the given person.
00:08:29A conviction in crime not needed for axing.
00:08:32Today, new bills, likely by H.M. Amit Shah, Home Minister Amit Shah,
00:08:39in the Lok Sabha.
00:08:40He is likely to, in fact, propose this bill in the lower house itself today.
00:08:45And centre is to, in fact, empower self by a new bill.
00:08:49Bill set to be red rag to opposition.
00:08:52At this given point, this is the particular breaking news
00:08:56that we are, in fact, picking up.
00:08:58And Himantra Mishra joined us on the broadcast to bring us more details.
00:09:00Himantra, a very good morning to you.
00:09:03First of all, let's give us a little bit of knowledge about this bill.
00:09:07And today, we will probably take it to Amit Shah Ji.
00:09:13How do we see it about this bill?
00:09:16Let's give us a little bit of knowledge about this bill.
00:09:19Let's give us a little bit of knowledge about this bill.
00:09:49How do we see it?
00:09:53We see it?
00:09:55How do we see it?
00:10:02So, the 31st day, it seems that it has been forced from the minister to the minister.
00:10:11If the chief minister or prime minister doesn't do it, they don't do it,
00:10:18this is a provision that you will remember before,
00:10:21Manish Shishudiya, Arvind Kezriwal and Satine Jain Jail are living in the Munkhya Muntri.
00:10:31It is a provision for the government.
00:10:34The government wants that the corrupt people,
00:10:38or criminal allegations,
00:10:41they don't do it in the Munkhya Muntri.
00:10:47You will remember that Balaji's case came in,
00:10:50Samnadu,
00:10:51and he was detained and then he was detained.
00:10:57So, the government has to accept that
00:11:00when the government will introduce this bill,
00:11:03after that,
00:11:05the further consultation and consultation
00:11:09will refer to the Joint Parliamentary Committee.
00:11:12And the Joint Parliamentary Committee,
00:11:14that whatever suggestions there will be,
00:11:15after talking to experts,
00:11:17after talking to all stakeholders,
00:11:21the suggestions there will be again in the Cabinet,
00:11:24and after the Cabinet,
00:11:25and after the Cabinet,
00:11:26they will amend that bill again.
00:11:29And that is what we are picking up in terms of how the bill is supposed to be,
00:11:38in fact, amending the particular current rule that exists on this very matter,
00:11:45and also the fact as to why the opposition, in fact,
00:11:48wants to bring in this very bill in to power at this given point.
00:12:03This is with regards to Operation Sindur.
00:12:06Now, Operation Sindur's special module released by the NCERT.
00:12:10And this is for middle and secondary stages.
00:12:13In text, in secondary stages for Class 9-12,
00:12:16blames Pakistan political leadership for the Pehelgaam attack.
00:12:21TRF first claimed responsibility,
00:12:23then denied it four days later.
00:12:25But India's NIA confirms the group was behind it,
00:12:29with solid evidence and eyewitness accounts.
00:12:32India agencies found the attack was well-planned conspiracy.
00:12:36The conspiracy was led by Pakistan ISI and Lashkare Toiba.
00:12:41It was directly ordered by Pakistan's military and political leadership.
00:12:46So, this is the breaking news that we are bringing to you with regards to
00:12:49how Operation Sindur has, in fact, been incorporated by the NCRT
00:12:53and it's been released by the NCRT for secondary 9-12, in fact, standards
00:12:59in their very textbooks.
00:13:02Now, Willan Sharma joins us on the broadcast to bring us more details
00:13:05on this very particular breaking news.
00:13:07Willan, a very good morning to you.
00:13:09Please take us through some more details of what all the very portion entails
00:13:14about Operation Sindur for the 9-12 standard students.
00:13:19Well, this is a special module that has been started by the NCRT for classes 9-12.
00:13:27And, of course, about Operation Sindur, every detail has been put in the textbook
00:13:32with regards to how the Operation Sindur was conducted by the Indian Armed Forces.
00:13:38They've also mentioned how the Navy played a very important role in conducting Operation Sindur
00:13:45and making it a success.
00:13:47They have mentioned the Pahagam attacks as well.
00:13:50And clearly, the textbook says that, you know, Pakistan was behind the attack.
00:13:56They've also said that Pakistan's ISI and military and political leadership were responsible for these attacks
00:14:04that killed 26 Hindu tourists who were in Pahagam and Kashmir at that point of time.
00:14:11The book also mentions about Balakot and they've also mentioned how the valor of the Indian Armed Forces
00:14:18made sure that a lot of these terrorist camps that were decimated in Pakistan
00:14:26and they've mentioned terrorist camps like Muriitge as well.
00:14:29So, all these details that we have been, you know, witnessing in news and everywhere,
00:14:35they have been mentioned for the students to learn.
00:14:38And the NCRT will make sure that these special modules are given to children to learn in classes as well,
00:14:44although it's not part of the community syllabus,
00:14:46but it will still be made available for students to learn in all classes
00:14:51so that they know everything about Operation Sindur and what was done by India to protect this world.
00:14:58Right, well, and thank you for bringing us all those information
00:15:01with regards to how the particular syllabi looks at this given point.
00:15:16With that, we have more breaking news coming in.
00:15:18Shashit Haroor rubbishes Trump mediation claim.
00:15:21Well, how so?
00:15:22Well, at the book launch event of Wither India-Pakistan relations today,
00:15:26can they ever be good neighbours?
00:15:29Congress MP Shashit Haroor says the successful strikes on the night of 9th to 10th May
00:15:35and the ability of India to intercept the attempted Pakistani response
00:15:40when they sent missiles to Delhi on the morning of 10th May
00:15:43is what contributed undoubtedly and not Mr. Trump to the call by the Pakistani DGMO
00:15:49to his Indian counterpart asking for peace.
00:15:52So, yet again, another claim coming in from Shashit Haroor with regards to how the Operation Sindur
00:15:59in fact was a successful one and also an answer to Trump's claims of mediating between these two nations
00:16:09when the tensions had in fact escalated during Operation Sindur in fact for that matter earlier this year.
00:16:15Let's listen in to what Shashit Haroor had to say on Trump having no contribution in Operation Sindur cease fire.
00:16:22The facilities we've destroyed can all be rebuilt within six to nine months and probably will be.
00:16:29But the intent may have been shaken a little bit.
00:16:34And certainly the successful strikes of the night of 9th, 10th May
00:16:43and the ability of India to intercept the attempted Pakistani response
00:16:50when they sent missiles to Delhi on the morning of the 10th
00:16:54I think was what contributed undoubtedly and not Mr. Trump
00:16:59to the call by the Pakistani DGMO to his Indian counterpart asking for peace.
00:17:18Viewers, the question now of the hour is
00:17:20Kaun banega India ka next vice president?
00:17:23With the ruling alliance confident of its numbers
00:17:26and the opposition framing it as a fight of ideas
00:17:29the countdown has only begun for a high-stakes vice presidential contest.
00:17:33NDA candidate for the post CP Radha Krishnan files his nomination today
00:17:38while the India bloc has countered the NDA with former Supreme Court Judge Justice B. Sudarshan Reddy
00:17:44as their pick for the post.
00:17:46Reddy stressing that parliamentarians and not parties elect the vice president
00:17:50appeal for support across party lines.
00:17:53But in Antra, the opposition's gambit fell flat.
00:17:56The YSRCP citing its word to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh
00:18:00and historic ties with the RSS rejected the India bloc offer.
00:18:04Meanwhile, Congress has sharpened their pitch framing the election
00:18:08as an ideological battle between an RSS man and the constitution
00:18:13further questioning YSRCP's choice to side with the BJP.
00:18:17Let's listen in to some of the reactions that's come in so far into this very story.
00:18:24It is the parliamentarians who elect the vice president.
00:18:28It is not the political parties.
00:18:30Political parties may sponsor the candidates.
00:18:32There is only one citizenship in this country.
00:18:35That is Indian citizenship.
00:18:38And I think myself and Shri Radha Kishnam ji are Indian nationalists.
00:18:45Because it is South, North, East, West.
00:18:48Nothing.
00:18:49That's the state of India,

00:20:59truly everybody's choice, then they should have sat down with us and found a common person.
00:21:04But if they don't find a common person, we have to put up the person who we believe is the best in a
00:21:09former Supreme Court judge cannot be bettered by anybody else. So someone who's been a Supreme
00:21:17Court judge would preside over the upper house in a remarkable, wonderful manner. And I think
00:21:24that this should have been accepted. But anyway, it's too late for them to accept because they
00:21:28have their own candidate. Now let the best person win.
00:21:31Actually, DMK's Tamil pride is only hollow promises, hollow pride. Because they always talk about
00:21:38Tamil pride. And there is a great gap between the speech and the performance. They are talking
00:21:45about Tamil, Tamil pride. They deceived Honorable Abdul Kalamji previously. Now they are deceiving
00:21:52the Tamil pride and the Tamilian Honorable Anand CPR. So I am asking, you know that the India
00:22:02alliance is going to nominate a candidate. But you can influence an apt candidate from, basically
00:22:09from Tamil Nadu has been picked up by the India alliance. You are only politicizing the Tamil
00:22:15pride. That is very clearly revealed.

00:22:34The numbers are with the NDA, but yet,
00:23:04I appeal to the Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, because we have seen that DMK has been always claiming that they are for the Tamil people, so there is an opportunity that a person from Tamil Nadu, a Tamilian, can become the Vice President of India, so DMK should
00:23:34without any hesitation to support CPR.
00:23:39The United States and NATO planners start to craft the Ukraine security guarantee options.
00:23:46U.S. and European military planners have begun exploring the post-conflict security guarantees for Ukraine.
00:23:53U.S. officials and sources have told Reuters on Tuesday following Donald Trump's pledge to help protect the country under any deal to end Russia's war.
00:24:01Ukraine and its European allies have been buoyed by Trump's promise during a summit on Monday itself of security guarantees for Kyiv, but many questions remain unanswered still.
00:24:14Pentagon is planning for the U.S. support beyond weapons.
00:24:18In fact, what's on the cards is European troops in Ukraine.
00:24:23NATO military leaders are to discuss the guarantees further at this given point.
00:24:27That's what we are learning.
00:24:28And Pranay Upadhyay, in fact, joins me on the broadcast to put it into further context.
00:24:33Pranay, let's try and understand here what are the security guarantees that we are looking at, especially the ones that the U.S. says will be helping out beyond weapons.
00:24:44The U.S. has to work out an arrangement which goes beyond the weapon supply to ensure the decision.
00:25:14The security guarantees that the security guarantees which were offered in 1994 to Ukraine by the U.S. leadership definitely did not work.
00:25:28And since then, in 2014, they lost Crimea.
00:25:33Since 2022, the special military operation by Russia is still there.
00:25:37The map which was put up by the White House during the meeting in the very room clearly indicates that around 20% of the Ukrainian territory is in Russian occupation currently.
00:25:49And therefore, Ukraine wants a peace guarantee or a peace deal or a security guarantee in this matter.
00:25:56As being reported by certain media outlets in the United States, the U.S. Secretary of State and President Donald Trump's national security advisor, Marco Rubio,
00:26:07will be heading a committee where the Ukrainian leaders, Ukrainian representatives as well as the NATO and European leaders will be part of that effort to ensure that what security guarantees could be.
00:26:21As part of the security guarantee, what is being talked about is that a possibility of European troops in some form or other in Ukraine to put up a credible deterrence that further advancement or further action by Russia would not take place or should have a credible deterrence toward any possible action by Russia on Ukrainian soil.
00:26:49So, this remains a larger issue.
00:26:53They have to work out an arrangement because, you know, even when President Donald Trump assumed office and then when he indicated that he wants this war to end and there could be a possible land deal or possible land swap.
00:27:06At that point of time as well, the European nations worked out some kind of arrangement where the proof contribution by France, by Germany, by UK was talked about.
00:27:17So, we have to see what could be the possible security guarantee and what will be the complication, you know, after having a U.S. or possible troops, European troops on Ukrainian soil and putting up that credible deterrence.
00:27:36Because that remains a core concern for Russia because they never wanted a NATO troop or any form of NATO presence on Ukrainian soil and that was the reason why this, you know, this entire conflict started.
00:27:50Absolutely, Pranay, and you know, when we speak of the current scenario, let's also try and understand what extent shall the European Union leaders and the European leaders as well as the United States, what extent shall they be going to, to impact, help Ukraine out in the situation and the impact that a U.S. involvement in this entire situation might have?
00:28:14A very pertinent point, Shreya here, because, you know, this safety, the security concerns of Ukraine are not limited to Ukraine itself.
00:28:27Larger, the involvement of European security is also involved in it.
00:28:32And in fact, if you have seen the recent statement by President Donald Trump, he clearly makes it out that, you know, whatever we are contributing for the NATO, NATO is largely to ensure the security of Europe as an entity.
00:28:46And therefore, you know, Europe has to contribute a lot.
00:28:49What they can contribute, definitely we have seen the, in terms of, you know, in terms of more contribution for the NATO, you know, NATO, the financial contribution,
00:29:00because the 5% of the GDP has already been pledged by the European state for the contribution to NATO, besides the United States' contribution, and to match that up.
00:29:13And besides that, they have also worked out some kind of a troop arrangement, because one thing is clear, that a NATO inclusion of Ukraine is not on the agenda, and that cannot be done.
00:29:25That is a red line drawn by not only Russia, but that is also a kind of red line drawn by U.S. itself.
00:29:32And therefore, if NATO cannot include Ukraine, what are the security guarantees that can be offered?
00:29:39That needs to be worked out, because the troop contribution, the troop presence, the military base involvement.
00:29:46President Zelensky has asked for the Patriot missile systems.
00:29:49We know that to operate the Patriot missile system, U.S. often send their own troops, as they have sent their, you know, Patriot missile batteries and troops in Israel during the West Asia conflict.
00:30:02So, whether U.S. would be contributing to Patriot missile system along with their troops and their personnel, or they are going to train the Ukrainian troops,
00:30:12how the Ukrainian, how the European nations are going to contribute to this thing, that is the thing which needs to be worked out ahead of any possible PC.
00:30:23Absolutely. Pranav, stay with us. There's more breaking news that we're picking up around this very situation at this point.
00:30:28Let's take a look at that quickly before we come back.
00:30:36Now, United States has come out to reiterate its threats of sanctions on India.
00:30:41They have said that sanctions on India is what will end war.
00:30:44The White House has come out to state Trump has sanctioned India to end war.
00:30:49The President has taken actions to pressure Putin, like sanctions on India to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
00:30:56The President has put tremendous public pressure to bring this war to a close.
00:31:00He's taken sanctions, as you see, in the form of sanctions on India and other actions as well.
00:31:06He has made himself very clear that he wants to see this war end and that has rejected the ideas of others that have been raised,
00:31:15that we should wait another month before any meetings take place.
00:31:19So this is what's been said by the White House.
00:31:21Let's quickly listen in to this very extract from it.
00:31:24The President has put tremendous public pressure to bring this war to a close.
00:31:30He's taken actions, as you've seen, sanctions on India and other actions as well.
00:31:36He's made himself very clear that he wants to see this war end.
00:31:39And he has scoffed at the ideas of others that have been raised,
00:31:43that we should wait another month before any meeting takes place.
00:31:46The President wants to move and he wants to bring this war to an end as quickly as possible.
00:31:50Pranay is back with us on the broadcast.
00:31:53Pranay, you know, there is a certain level of irony that we see in the White House's comments
00:31:59or rather the consistent comments that have been coming in from the White House
00:32:03with regards to how they've been sanctioning India to put an end to this very war.
00:32:11Shreya, but you have to notice here that, you know,
00:32:14our tariffs are being conflated as sanctions
00:32:18because if you see the U.S. interpretation itself,
00:32:22many experts in the United States are interpreting that tariffs are not sanctioned.
00:32:27And if they are sanctioned, they have the sanctions against the U.S. consumers
00:32:30because currently the U.S. consumers are paying the price of, you know,
00:32:35the U.S. or Trump administration imposed tariffs.
00:32:39Definitely, Indian market is also, you know, facing difficulties
00:32:43because of the large amount of tariffs imposed on Indian products, Indian goods
00:32:50for their exports in U.S. markets.
00:32:54But clearly, President Donald Trump and his administration is practicing,
00:32:58they are exercising duality of their policies.
00:33:01As we were discussing that, you know,
00:33:03the biggest purchaser of Russian oil is China.
00:33:07With China, they are dealing, they are negotiating,
00:33:10they have offered additional, like, you know,
00:33:12the further extension of 90 days of so-called tariff truce.
00:33:17On the other side, with Russia, their bilateral trade,
00:33:20they are not only dealing diplomatically,
00:33:22they are engaging with Russia.
00:33:25And also, the bilateral trade between Russia and the United States
00:33:29have gone up by the amount of 20%.
00:33:31So, clearly, there is, you know, there is a difference of quality,
00:33:36there is a difference of treatment, as well as the India is concerned.
00:33:38Absolutely. Absolutely, Pranay.
00:33:40Pranay, I'll have to cut you short there.
00:33:42I'm extremely sorry.
00:33:43But we have joining us an esteemed guest
00:33:46on the entire Russia-Ukraine situation at this given point,
00:33:50NATO advisor and Crystal Clear Communications CEO,
00:33:53Crystal Call, on Trump's Zelensky meeting at White House.
00:33:56And at this given point, Ms. Call, thank you for joining us.
00:34:00A very good morning to you from India.
00:34:02I would begin the conversation with asking you,
00:34:05how do you see Trump's bid to ending the Russia-Ukraine war
00:34:10at this given point?
00:34:13Well, if Trump pulls off a trilateral summit,
00:34:16then I believe he'd be successful in assisting
00:34:18with the creation of a peace deal.
00:34:20He claimed this morning on Fox News
00:34:22that he sort of set up a meeting with the three world leaders,
00:34:25yet the Kremlin still refuses to commit to this meeting.
00:34:28However, I don't think the peace deal will mean lasting peace
00:34:31for the rest of the world.
00:34:33So I think that when looking at Trump,
00:34:36you have to take everything into context
00:34:37of what he's saying and doing, right?
00:34:39He's really worried about his ratings
00:34:41with the American public.
00:34:42He's very obsessed with winning a Nobel Peace Prize.
00:34:45He's tweeted almost 10 times about it.
00:34:48So I think that he's a little bit more focused
00:34:51on his own self-glory than I think actually saving lives
00:34:54and bringing peace and stability to the region.
00:34:57You know, it's interesting that you say that,
00:34:59and I would want you to elaborate a little more on that very point.
00:35:03Why do you see this as everything about Trump
00:35:06and not more for the people of Ukraine and Russia
00:35:09who have been bearing the brunt of this very war?
00:35:11Well, I think Trump has proven to never do anything
00:35:18without an ulterior motive, as I mentioned, right?
00:35:22He's known to use his presidency for personal financial gain,
00:35:25winning the Nobel Peace Prize, as I mentioned.
00:35:28For him would be a great marketing tactic
00:35:31and great exposure,
00:35:33potentially in the hearts of people
00:35:34who've been opposed to doing business in the past.
00:35:37You know, Trump's meme coin is, you know,
00:35:40launched three days before a second term
00:35:41has brought approximately $320 million to the Trump family
00:35:44and their partners from trading fees alone.
00:35:46This mission of his to win the Nobel Prize
00:35:48also comes at a very convenient time,
00:35:50right after it was announced
00:35:51that the Attorney General, Pam Bondi,
00:35:53had informed Trump
00:35:54that his name appears more than once in the Epstein files.
00:35:58So, honestly, again,
00:36:01I think that you're dealing with someone
00:36:03who is a very strategic businessman.
00:36:05He's a great brander and marketer
00:36:08and everything he does in his presidency
00:36:11and everything he's done in his life
00:36:13is for ratings, I mean, at the end of the day.
00:36:17So, I think that this is
00:36:18the same kind of ploy and tactics
00:36:20that we've seen him do
00:36:22in his prior term
00:36:24and throughout his life
00:36:26in business as well, to be honest.
00:36:28You know, there is a fact
00:36:30that Trump constantly reiterates
00:36:31that he's attempting
00:36:32what no other world leader has achieved so far.
00:36:35What's your thought on that?
00:36:39I think Trump likes to put this image on,
00:36:44this, you know, aura.
00:36:46But Trump attempting
00:36:47another world leader so far,
00:36:49there's been several other world leaders
00:36:51other than Zelensky
00:36:53who've made attempts
00:36:54just as Trump has
00:36:54to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
00:36:57Emmanuel Macron of France,
00:37:00Keir Starmer of the UK,
00:37:02Xi Jinping of China,
00:37:04Luiz Inacio,
00:37:05Lula da Silva of Brazil,
00:37:07the late Pope Francis,
00:37:09Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa.
00:37:11So, first of all,
00:37:13it's factually incorrect.
00:37:14And two, I just listed
00:37:15several examples of folks
00:37:16who have heads of states
00:37:19who have tried to end this war.
00:37:21So, again, I think that Trump
00:37:24uses a lot of these catchphrases
00:37:27and throws a lot of just
00:37:29misinformation out in the public.
00:37:31And that's just categorically incorrect.
00:37:34So, at this point,
00:37:37would you say,
00:37:38at least according to you,
00:37:40is there any genuinity
00:37:41behind the bid for peace
00:37:43as Trump's legacy?
00:37:44Or would you say
00:37:45it's all for a stunt
00:37:47for the Nobel Peace Prize,
00:37:48more of a noble dream?
00:37:51As I mentioned before,
00:37:52I think it's a complete stunt
00:37:54for the Nobel Prize,
00:37:55which acts as a distraction
00:37:56from the Epstein files.
00:37:57I think this is just Trump's play.
00:38:00This is what the Republican Party
00:38:02has come to, unfortunately.
00:38:04And this is why we need
00:38:06to restore faith back
00:38:07in the Democrats.
00:38:08It's unfortunate this man
00:38:09has come into power.
00:38:11And he is not only destroying the U.S.,
00:38:14but the global order as well.
00:38:18So, you're saying it's more
00:38:20of a diversionary tactic
00:38:22at this given point by his team.
00:38:23But, you know, let's also discuss
00:38:25what exactly is to happen on ground,
00:38:29the significance or the impact
00:38:31that Trump can make
00:38:33or has made to Ukraine's peace efforts
00:38:35at this given point.
00:38:38I think Trump's brought
00:38:39a lot of global attention
00:38:40to the innocent lives lost in Ukraine
00:38:42in the past few months.
00:38:43And I think the attention
00:38:44is a good thing.
00:38:45His motives, obviously,
00:38:46are not in the right place.
00:38:49But the after effects
00:38:50have at least had
00:38:51some positive effect.
00:38:52Sometimes when a war
00:38:53goes on for so long,
00:38:54the rest of the world
00:38:55becomes a little desensitized to it.
00:38:57So regardless of Trump's real motives,
00:38:59I do believe that his recent actions
00:39:00can have some positive outcomes.
00:39:03But again, this is not a leader
00:39:05that is concerned
00:39:06about the lives of Ukrainians.
00:39:07This is not someone
00:39:08who generally wants to stop a war
00:39:11and wants to see peace
00:39:14and stability brought back
00:39:15to the region.
00:39:16This is someone who is using it
00:39:18as a diversion tactic
00:39:19to move away from attention
00:39:21from the Epstein files,
00:39:22who wants to bring his ratings
00:39:24back up with Americans.
00:39:26It has been said many times
00:39:29that he is completely obsessed
00:39:31with his ratings
00:39:32in a way that
00:39:33no other president has ever been.
00:39:35And he's not someone
00:39:37that can tolerate
00:39:38when he's, you know,
00:39:40being criticized in the media.
00:39:42But obviously,
00:39:43everything that he's doing
00:39:44is bringing more and more
00:39:47to light the fact that,
00:39:48you know,
00:39:49we've elected the wrong president.
00:39:51And now it's all
00:39:52coming to fruition.
00:39:53You know, my last question
00:39:56would be more focused
00:39:57on the two stakeholders
00:39:58in this very war.
00:40:00Do you think at this given point,
00:40:01given the scenario,
00:40:02Zelensky might end up winning
00:40:04the NATO guarantees
00:40:06against Russia?
00:40:11Yes, I think that it's very possible.
00:40:16And I think that, again,
00:40:17you're dealing with someone
00:40:18who doesn't really understand
00:40:20geopolitics.
00:40:21And I think that that is
00:40:23a deep concern
00:40:25that we have today,
00:40:26that this is a man
00:40:28who has not been
00:40:31in the U.S. government system, right?
00:40:33This is a businessman
00:40:34who came in with a lot of money
00:40:36and essentially bought
00:40:37the presidency.
00:40:38He wasn't in Congress
00:40:40or the Senate
00:40:41or a governor
00:40:42or he didn't follow a track
00:40:44of any U.S. president
00:40:45ever in history.
00:40:48He's an anomaly, outlier.
00:40:49And it's very clear
00:40:52that he doesn't understand
00:40:53how geopolitics works
00:40:54or how interdependence works
00:40:56between countries
00:40:57and how to actually address
00:40:58conflicts
00:41:00and bring stability to regions
00:41:02or working with the military.
00:41:04And so he's making
00:41:05just really strong armed moves
00:41:08because that's really all
00:41:09he's ever known
00:41:10how to do in business.
00:41:11And it doesn't work the same
00:41:13when you're dealing with countries.
00:41:14And we see that
00:41:16with imposing
00:41:18the 50% tariffs on India
00:41:19and on Japan,
00:41:21a strategic ally
00:41:22and the EU
00:41:23and so many countries
00:41:24that he's basically
00:41:25turning against the U.S.
00:41:26And he's creating enemies
00:41:28just within his own country.
00:41:30I mean, a lot of Americans
00:41:31are thinking of moving overseas, right?
00:41:33They don't want to be here anymore.
00:41:35And it's just a shame
00:41:36what is really happening
00:41:38to our regime
00:41:38and to our democracy
00:41:40that we've upheld for so long.
00:41:42Right.
00:41:43So interesting insights there
00:41:44with regards to how Trump
00:41:45has successfully made this
00:41:46all about himself.
00:41:47Chris will call NATO advisor
00:41:48with us on India Today.
00:41:50Thank you so much, Ms. Cole,
00:41:51for joining us
00:41:51and for your insights.
00:41:52Thank you so much.
00:42:08Now, moving closer home
00:42:09and our focus being
00:42:11on the domestic arena.
00:42:13Kaun banega India ka
00:42:14next vice president
00:42:15with the ruling alliance
00:42:16confident of its numbers
00:42:18and the opposition
00:42:19framing it as a fight of ideas.
00:42:21The countdown has begun
00:42:22for a high-stakes
00:42:23vice presidential contest.
00:42:25The NDA candidate
00:42:26for the post,
00:42:27CP Radhakrishnan,
00:42:28files his nomination today
00:42:29while the India bloc
00:42:30has countered the NDA
00:42:32with former Supreme Court judge
00:42:34Justice B. Sudarshan Reddy
00:42:35as their pick for the post.
00:42:37Now, Reddy is stressing
00:42:38that parliamentarians
00:42:39and not parties
00:42:40elect the vice president,
00:42:42appeal for support
00:42:43and across party lines.
00:42:44But in Andhra Pradesh,
00:42:45the opposition's gambit
00:42:47has fallen flat.
00:42:48The YSRCP
00:42:49is citing its words
00:42:50to Defence Minister
00:42:51Rajnath Singh
00:42:52in historic ties
00:42:53with the RSS-rejected
00:42:54India bloc offer.
00:42:56Meanwhile,
00:42:56the Congress
00:42:57has sharpened their pitch,
00:42:58framing the election
00:42:59as an ideological battle
00:43:00between an RSS man
00:43:02and the Constitution,
00:43:04further questioning
00:43:04YSRCP's choice
00:43:06to side with the BJP.
00:43:08Let's take a look
00:43:08at some of the reactions
00:43:09that's so far
00:43:10come into the story.
00:43:10It is the parliamentarians
00:43:14who elect the vice president.
00:43:17It is not the political parties.
00:43:19Political parties
00:43:20may sponsor the candidates.
00:43:21There is only one citizenship
00:43:23in this country.
00:43:24That is Indian citizenship.
00:43:27Myself and Sri Radha Kishnam
00:43:31are Indian nationals.
00:43:33Because it is South,
00:43:35not East, West.

00:46:26they always talk about tamil pride and there is a great gap between the
00:46:32speech and the performance they are talking about tamil tamil pride they deceived
00:46:37honorable abdul kalamji previously now they are deceiving the tamil pride and the tamalian
00:46:45honorable and cpr so i am asking you know that the indian alliance is going to
00:46:52nominate a candidate but you can influence an apt candidate from basically from tamil
00:46:58not has been picked up by the indian alliance you are only politicizing the tamil pride that
00:47:04is very clearly revealed shri redi ji ka sawaal hai jho indi block candidate hai dekhiye loka
00:47:13tantra mein agar kuch dalonai milkar aisa nirne liya ki shri redi ji ko
00:47:21binaya jayega to woswagat jogi hai wo bhi contest me a raha hai lékin mujhe lagta
00:47:26hai ki ndi a ke paas sankhya hai aur ham jantte hai ki kya hoonay wala hai sri cp rada
00:47:32krishnan ji ko mai advance badai dana chaaté ho
00:47:35dhikye unko adhikar hai loogtantr hai loogtantr mein vipaksh ko bhi aapna candid
00:47:40dhikye unko adhikar hai chanav hooga prontu sunish cp rada kishnan ji agle upraashpati
00:47:48numbers are with the nda but yet i appeal to the honorable chief minister of tabla naadu
00:47:56because we have seen that dmk has been always claiming that they are for the tamil people so
00:48:06there is an opportunity uh that a person from tamilnadu a tamilian can become the vice president
00:48:17of india so dmk should uh without any hesitation should support uh shri cpr
00:48:30piyush mishra and shrivani sharma join me on the broadcast to in fact discuss this further
00:48:34and also help us understand the context behind both the nominations piyush i'll come to you first a very
00:48:39good morning to you do help us understand at this given point how does the ysrcp complication that we
00:48:46see in terms of what they have said about their support towards cp rada kishnan how does that plane
00:48:52into the entire vp elections that the vice presidential election that's to take place
00:48:58well shriya well it's a big boost to the nda numbers remember that vysar has got around
00:49:0512 in both loksabha and rajasabha and if vysar extended support then indeed the number game will
00:49:12uh increase for the nda a vysar cp yesterday had made it very very clear that uh they received the
00:49:19call from defense minister rajnath singh and uh when uh rajnath singh spoke to jokan bond daddy at the
00:49:25time it was decided that uh vysar cp was going to vote up for the nda candidate and they were also
00:49:31approached by the india candidate congressist johanam ramesh had requested uh the vysar cp mps to vote for
00:49:38india block uh candidate but they categorically told them that they have already uh showed to
00:49:44india that they are going to support their candidate so that's why vysar cp's support to india will be a
00:49:50a big boost to the already uh magic number tally which is there with nda if you talk about the numbers
00:49:58the number game is with nda and there are around 427 mps who are with nda in both loksabha and rajasabha
00:50:06on the other side india block has 255 up in its kitty and the magic figure is 392 so it will be a
00:50:12cakewalk for nda's uh vice presidential candidate but yes if if uh support uh if nda gets support from
00:50:20other parties also neutral parties also like vysar cp and bjd then it will be a big boost to uh the
00:50:28the nda number tally which is already there with the national democratic alliance up as far as india
00:50:34bloc is concerned it is or trying its best to reach out to not only all opposition political
00:50:40parties but also to the neutral parties as of now bjd which is also another neutral party it has not
00:50:45taken in any decision uh the decision most likely will be taken today in a parliamentary party meet
00:50:51which will take place today of bjd and after that they will be announcing their decision but vysar cp
00:50:56has made it very clear that they are going to support uh uh the nd candidate and there are few
00:51:01independent mps also shriya who are uh you know of the view of supporting nda's candidate why because
00:51:06nda has got numbers in its kitty and uh yeah it will be a very easy for nda candidate to have an edge
00:51:13when elections take place right that's the number and that's the number game decoded for us viewers
00:51:18at this given point shrivani i come to you next if we view this as an ideological contest between
00:51:24a political establishment and a guardian of the constitution how are we looking at it
00:51:33see shriya as piyush was mentioning that this might be a cakewalk for the nda nominee cp radhakrishnan
00:51:40and uh the india bloc has nominated uh retired supreme court judge and they have been highlighting
00:51:46their ideological agenda out here too they have been saying yesterday uh malik karjoon karge while
00:51:51introducing and announcing the name of b sudarshan ready he said that he represents ideology and
00:51:57this would be an ideological battle so congress knows that it's difficult for it to win this election
00:52:02but it also wants to highlight and doesn't want to lose this chance to show once again that it is
00:52:09fighting for the safeguard of constitution as rahul gandhi has been saying and the candidate which has
00:52:15been chosen not only has been strategically chosen by the india bloc because he also comes from
00:52:20uh telangana he's also a southern face but he also represents a constitutional uh body so here uh
00:52:27while i'm speaking to you sure i'll just keep showing you the pictures also because i'm right
00:52:31now at maharashya southern this is the place where the maharashya governor and the nominee of uh in uh
00:52:36of nda for the vice presidential election is right now staying there have been meetings that
00:52:42have already started since morning we could see a lot of commotion and what we are being told that
00:52:46uh at around uh 10 10 45 he'll be reaching parliament where he'll be welcomed by the mps of
00:52:53nda and there will be a show of strength to those today before he files his nomination and prime
00:52:58minister narenda modi would be the first proposer of vice presidential nominee cp radha krishnan so this
00:53:05is a show of strength a show of might and might be an easy battle for nda but certainly congress and
00:53:13india bloc do not want to leave that chance to show that they are still keeping on up with
00:53:17their ideological agenda right so it is it does seem to be like a cakewalk at this given point
00:53:24but viewers only time will tell what exactly will the battle look like between these two nominees for
00:53:30the vice presidential posts thank you shivani and pure for in fact analyzing that for our viewers and
00:53:36contextualizing it for our viewers but let's also take you through some more details about this it's
00:53:40it's tamil nadu versus telangana in the high stakes vice presidential race the nda feels seasoned
00:53:45politician cp radha krishnan while the opposition counters with former supreme court judge b sudarshan
00:53:51ready it's not just a battle viewers for the chair it's numbers versus narrative alliances versus
00:53:58identity let's take a look at this report to get more details
00:54:01it is a war of a telugu face versus a tamil one in the vice presidential race but this battle is more
00:54:13than just geography even as prime minister modi called for consensus urging the opposition to
00:54:20back nda's cp radha krishnan the india bloc made its move fielding justice sudarshan ready a former
00:54:28supreme court judge now the face of a political challenge the opposition parties have nominated
00:54:37sri b sudarshan ready garu as their joint candidate since he reflects fully and values
00:54:48that saved our country's freedom movement india today broke the news first and it was later
00:54:55confirmed by congress chief malikarjun khadge who called the vice presidential election an ideological
00:55:00battle this vice presidential contest is an ideological battle and all the opposition party agreed
00:55:13on this that's why we are contesting unitedly
00:55:19justice ready speaking exclusively to india today made a bold appeal to all parties including the nda to
00:55:27back him india alliance almost represent more than 60 percent of the population notwithstanding their
00:55:40numbers in the both the houses so i consider myself as a candidate representing more than 60 percent of india's
00:55:52population sources say the opposition's pick is no confidence in fact it is a well thought out gambit
00:55:59a direct message to andhra-based ndlis tdp jan sena even ysrcp and brs why because the nds choice of radhakrishnan
00:56:10from tamilnadu threw the dmk into a dilemma of its own on backing a tamil face but tdp remained unswayed
00:56:18asserting it will back the nda pick the last 10 years in the nda government whichever development has
00:56:25happened it has happened across the nation it's not north india south india east of us so uh that's
00:56:31how we look at it and that's how we want our development to happen at the same time representation
00:56:35to also happen why sar cp echoed the same sentiment vowing supporting for the nda candidate
00:56:43after discussing with our senior leaders our party patient has taken a decision now since the election
00:56:49is inevitable we will be supporting nda candidate here's the bottom line
00:56:54radhakrishnan has the numbers but limited national visibility but he may attempt the tamiladu parties
00:57:00to support him ready has little political backing but strong judicial background and strikes a chord
00:57:07with telangana and andhra parties so now the big question will regional roots shake up political ranks
00:57:14or will this southern clash be decided by cold hard numbers the countdown to the vice presidential face-off
00:57:23for september 9th has begun bureau report india today
00:57:38as the monsoon session continues center's new bill to sack criminal netas bill to empower center to
00:57:45sack prime minister chief minister and mantris netas held for serious crime space removal
00:57:52in fact the bill proposed arrest for 30 days that is sacking as prime minister chief minister and
00:57:59mantri now conviction and crime is not needed for axing and today what we might expect in the house that
00:58:05is in the lower house is that this new bill might in fact be brought in by the union home minister
00:58:10amit sharp center is to empower self via the new bill the bill is set to be red drag to opposition
00:58:23this is the breaking news that we have for you viewers and amit bhardwa joins us on the broadcast to
00:58:28bring us more detail on the more on this very bill amit a very good morning to you let's understand what this bill
00:58:36entails at this given point as we speak and how this might in fact become a major point of contention
00:58:44between the government and this opposition in the house
00:58:47uh well three are three bills uh that are to be brought in the lok sabab by home minister amit
00:58:56shah the intention is uh uh pretty same for each of them that is removal of the chief minister or council
00:59:03of ministers or for that matter union union ministers and prime minister if they are arrested under serious
00:59:10offenses and they remain under custody uh consecutively for 30 days uh so this particular amendment that's
00:59:18being uh uh sought through the three bills uh is primarily focused on that objective number one is
00:59:24constitutional amendment bill 130th constitution constitutional amendment which will uh go uh go on
00:59:31to uh you know have a provision uh to remove a chief minister or council of ministers or uh same for the
00:59:38center as well if uh they are arrested for consecutively 30 days under some serious offense uh which
00:59:45essentially means an offense for which uh uh the uh you know sentence is five years or more uh the second
00:59:53will that is uh being introduced in the lok sabha would be in regards to delhi because delhi has a
00:59:59different set of bills so same objective removal of the chief minister or council of ministers through this
01:00:06particular amendment that is being brought uh in the lok sabha the third bill is in connection with the
01:00:11jammu and kashmir reorganization uh amendment bill again the objective of that bill is that so far in
01:00:19the bill that was amended in 2019 uh you know it does not has the provision to remove the chief minister
01:00:25or the council of minister on instructions or prime minister's office and now that particular clause
01:00:32in is being added uh now what uh remains clear to us is that india bloc will aggressively counter uh these
01:00:40changes which are being proposed through these three bills which will be uh tabled in the lok sabha today
01:00:46and in most likelihood they will seek uh the opposition would be seek uh would be seeking today uh that
01:00:52these bills should be sent to the you know standing committee or uh for further scrutiny of the
01:00:58parliamentary committees uh so it is pretty certain uh that it cannot see the day of the light in on
01:01:04the floor of the house but for as far as uh you know delhi amendment is concerned or the jammu and
01:01:10kashmir amendment is concerned uh possibly the government can get it through even if they want because they
01:01:15would uh it would require uh the normal uh majority to get those bills passed but as far as the
01:01:20constitutional amendment bill is concerned uh that would need a two-third majority uh which means that
01:01:26the bills uh at least the constitution amendment bill uh will have to be sent to some or the other
01:01:32standing committee of the uh parliament back to you right amit thank you for bringing us all those
01:01:37details with regards to these very bills you're breaking news coming in all india gaming federation
01:01:43writes to home minister amit shah on promotion and regulation of online gaming
01:01:49six sergeant intervention move towards progressive regulation and not prohibition the bill
01:01:54if fast will cause serious harm will drive crores of players into hands of illegal gambling networks
01:02:01and fly by night operators a blanket prohibition will strike a death knell for this legitimate job
01:02:07creating industry this is the particular breaking news that we're bringing to you at this given point
01:02:11this is what the all india gaming federation has written to the home minister amit shah on promoting
01:02:16and regulating of online gaming we have uh karishma asudani joining us on the broadcast karishma very good
01:02:23morning to you let's understand at this given point what has been said by the all india gaming
01:02:27federation in terms of how this blanket prohibition might actually drive people to the darker side
01:02:33of illegal betting apps and illegally in fact being on these gaming apps it's been on a very much
01:02:41expected line let's not forget this has been a business today india today big breaking yesterday
01:02:47where we learned that the government has decided to ban the real money gaming activities in the
01:02:53country which means that we are let going of close to about 20 000 crore revenue that the industry
01:02:59generates and about two lakh people on an average that it employs in eight years now all india gaming
01:03:05federation of course on the expected lines is written to the home minister to reconsider this decision
01:03:09and to reconsider the process of the bill that talks for prohibition of real money gaming they have spoken of
01:03:15the fact that how the industry houses and employs uh many young millionaires who've been trying to
01:03:22uplift the gaming industry of the country it does not come in as a good news for the uh industry in
01:03:28india but government has its own um set of defense on the fact that they'd like to avoid any kind of
01:03:35illegitimate uh uh and illegal activities being conducted via gaming uh and the use of cryptocurrencies
01:03:44which have actually uh given them some evidence of federal funding in the past
01:03:51right kharishma thank you for in fact putting it into context for our viewers viewers let's also take
01:03:55you through all that's happened on this very front in this story the government is ready to hit pause
01:04:01on the cash gaming apps and this time it's game over for real money betting the union cabinet has cleared
01:04:06the online gaming bill which is a mega move to curb fraud addiction and endless loopholes in the booming
01:04:11game sector once in play the bill will be banning all cash based transactions for online betting
01:04:17banks cannot be transferring funds and flashy ads for real money apps will also be blocked but it's
01:04:22not all bad news esports and skill-based games still get a green signal with the ministry of
01:04:28electronics and information technology as the central referee the government says it's time for
01:04:32one rule book for all cutting out fraud tackling addiction and keeping the gaming world fair play
01:04:40this tough stance in fact comes after a series of tragic incidents in hyderabad this year postal worker
01:04:46died by suicide over 15 lakh rupee in betting debts leaving a note to the prime minister in karnataka at
01:04:53least 18 suicides over the past three years have been linked to online gaming losses and in mysuru a
01:04:59family of three ended their lives after losing 80 lakh rupees to gaming debts the 15-man squad of the
01:05:07indian team for the upcoming asia cup is finally out plenty of names that chief selector ajit agarkar
01:05:13and his fellow selectors had to scrutinize and we got an idea from him and captain surya kumar yadav
01:05:19what the roadmap for the tournament will be for india there were some names that were straight walk-ins but
01:05:24the inclusion for some makes for an interesting conversation one amongst them being shubman gill here's
01:05:29more take a look after the euphoria of the test series in england action shifts to the asia cup which
01:05:41will take place in the uae a different format now for the indian team but the result in red ball
01:05:50cricket has had a direct bearing on the team in the game's shortest format
01:05:58what that means is that test captain shubman gill has not only managed to get into the squad
01:06:04he has also been named the vice captain of the team
01:06:11remember gill was behind jaiswal in t20 international cricket
01:06:16and was even left out of the t20 world cup squad last year
01:06:23but a fabulous england tour as a batter and captain on the back of a 650 run
01:06:29ipl at a superb strike rate of 156 has now changed the script
01:06:36abhi dekho mere sahab se the last time when he played t20 for india uh post t20 world cup when we
01:06:43went to sri lanka not zimbabwe where we started when i was leading he was vice captain he started
01:06:49so that's where we started a new new cycle for t20 world cup after that he got busy with all the
01:06:54test series or uh could be opportunity to not get us to play t20 because he was busy playing test
01:07:00cricket and more of a champion's trophy i guess before england t20 so uh he's there in the squad and we are
01:07:07happy to have him the collateral damage is young and daring yashashree jaiswal who offered to play the
01:07:16explosive brand of t20 cricket that this side has thus far wished to play in case you forgot he strikes
01:07:24at 164 in t20 internationals with regards to yashashree i mean it's just unfortunate again you know
01:07:33there's abhishek sharma what he's done over the last last few months or a year or so that that he's
01:07:39been with the team plus that he can bowl a little bit gives us an option if required by the captain
01:07:47one of these guys was always going to miss out it's just unfortunate that
01:07:52yashashree might have to wait for his chance
01:07:57the other one to unfortunately miss out is shreyas ayya
01:08:01after two successful campaigns as an ipl captain and finishing ipl 2025 with over 600 runs at an
01:08:08average of over 50 and an unbelievable strike rate of 175 shreyas was also not included
01:08:20with regards to shreyas i mean you'll have to tell me who we can replace here again no fault of his
01:08:27uh nor is it ours it's just that you can pick 15 and at the moment he'll have to wait for his chance
01:08:34but while there have been a few changes this indian team still looks a team that can beat any team out
01:08:41there the asia cup starts on the 9th of september and the onus is on surya and his men to defend india's
01:08:50crown against the other asian contenders sports bureau india today
01:08:59no bilateral ties no sharing of water no diplomatic engagement but cricket stands tall between india and
01:09:06pakistan while there was no official word with regards to the tournament till now the bcci by
01:09:11announcing the squad has established that india will be taking part in the tournament but what about the
01:09:17anger and isolation tactics towards the fall as things stand the two countries will have a go
01:09:22at each other on the cricket field on the 14th of september how will india prepare for that
01:09:26particular match was something that was asked in the press conference take a look at what happened
01:09:31next
01:09:56that's all that we have for you in this very edition of the bulletin
