00:00Good evening and welcome to One India. You are watching world news where global power,
00:08politics and pressure points collide. This Tuesday, uncomfortable truths have surfaced
00:13across continents. From the Epstein files once again shaking America's political establishment
00:18to drones redefining warfare in Russia and Ukraine and protests spilling onto London streets.
00:26We begin with the Epstein files and allegations that now cut closer to the highest offices of power.
00:33U.S. Justice Department's latest Epstein files released has opened another fault line in an
00:40already explosive case. Internal documents claim flight records show Donald Trump travel to Jeffrey
00:47Epstein's private jet more frequently than previously disclosed, including periods linked to the
00:54Ghislaine Maxwell investigation. The release also references a letter allegedly sent by Epstein
01:00to convicted sex offender Larry Nasser shortly before Epstein's death. Submitted for handwriting
01:08analysis but without conclusive findings. More than 11,000 documents, photos and videos are now
01:16published in the United States. A fresh document dump, tens of thousands of pages, and new revelations that
01:40are once again pulling powerful names into the spotlight. The U.S. Justice Department has released its largest
01:47batch yet of Jeffrey Epstein files, unearthing records that raise troubling questions about travel,
01:53correspondence, and unexplained movements inside Epstein's world. The newly released documents were made public
02:01early Tuesday under the Epstein files transparency act. Officials say the scale of the material,
02:08spanning photos, emails, videos, and court records, has required a rolling release to protect the identities
02:15of survivors. One of the most striking revelations comes from a January 2020 internal email written by a
02:23federal prosecutor. According to flight records cited in the email, Donald Trump allegedly traveled on Epstein's
02:30private jet more times than previously reported. During periods prosecutors were examining potential
02:37charges against Ghislaine Maxwell. Another revelation appears in what's known as Data Set 8. Documents
02:45include a letter alleged to have been sent from Jeffrey Epstein to convicted sex offender Larry Nasser.
02:51The letter is postmarked just days after Epstein's death and was submitted for handwriting analysis,
02:58though investigators have not confirmed its authenticity. Reporting indicates Epstein may have sent
03:05the letter from prison before his death, but its contents were never made public. The new files show
03:11investigators examined whether Epstein actually authored it, leaving unanswered questions about
03:17communications linked to multiple abuse scandals. The documents also shed light on the movements of
03:23Ghislaine Maxwell. Records show she traveled to Puerto Rico in June 2005, arriving in San Juan with no listed
03:32departure point. Border officials did not encounter her again for more than two weeks, an unexplained gap now
03:39drawing renewed scrutiny. The broader release includes more than 11,000 files, many spanning multiple pages. The trove
03:48contains court records, internal justice department emails, FBI documents, photos, audio recordings, spreadsheets,
03:57and hundreds of videos tied to Epstein's activities. Earlier batches revealed thousands of Epstein's personal photographs
04:05and grand jury transcripts. Together, the releases aimed to provide transparency into Epstein's network and the failures that allowed abuse to continue for years,
04:15while also exposing how deeply his connections ran.
04:21And now the fallout from the Epstein files is spilling into Capitol Hill, where allegations of suppression and selective disclosure are taking center stage.
04:31U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has introduced a resolution urging legal action over what he calls the Justice Department's incomplete and delayed release of Epstein files.
04:43Democrats accused the Trump administration of a cover-up, pointing to heavily redacted records and missing court deadlines.
04:53A photograph showing President Trump with Epstein briefly appeared online before being removed, with officials citing the need to protect victims' identities.
05:03Politics, law, and accountability are now colliding head-on. More on this report.
05:09A political firestorm, explosive allegations, and a showdown between Congress and the Justice Department.
05:19Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer is demanding legal action against the DOJ,
05:25accusing it of withholding key Jeffrey Epstein records amid claims that explosive material tied to former President Donald Trump has not been released.
05:47Schumer has introduced a Senate resolution aimed at forcing the U.S. Department of Justice to release more Epstein-related documents.
05:59He says the Senate could move on the resolution as early as January, though its chances remain uncertain in a divided Congress.
06:07This administration cannot be allowed to hide the truth, Schumer said, vowing to keep pressure on federal prosecutors.
06:19He argues the public deserves full transparency, especially after Congress passed a law mandating the complete release of Epstein files by December 19.
06:31The controversy deepened after bipartisan lawmakers joined the outcry.
06:36Republican Thomas Massey and Democrat Ro Khanna accused Attorney General Pam Bondi of breaking the law by failing to release all required records.
06:47Massey and Khanna warned they could seek to hold Bondi in contempt of Congress if additional documents are not produced.
06:54They argue that partial disclosure undermines the intent of the law and erodes public trust in the justice system.
07:01Bondi pushed back strongly, saying the DOJ remains committed to prosecuting anyone involved in Epstein's trafficking and exploitation network.
07:15She rejected claims of a cover-up, calling the Trump administration the most transparent in history.
07:21The DOJ did release hundreds of thousands of pages on December 19, but acknowledged that many more files remain under review.
07:31Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said some materials may be withheld due to legal privileges.
07:37Blanche told Congress additional documents would be released within weeks.
07:42Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the DOJ must list withheld records and explain why within 15 days.
07:50Lawmakers say that clock is now ticking.
07:57Khanna argues true accountability requires more than raw documents.
08:01He is calling for the release of a draft 60-count indictment, an 82-page prosecution memo, and FBI files tied to Epstein, who allegedly abused an estimated 1,200 victims.
08:18From sealed code files to open battlefields, while Washington debates transparency, Ukraine is rewriting the rules of modern warfare, not with numbers, but with technology.
08:31Drones have emerged as a decisive force on the battlefield in 2025, especially for Ukraine.
08:37Newly released footage shared by the Ukrainian Army shows a striking contrast.
08:43Russian soldiers moving on horseback tracked from above by Ukrainian drones.
08:49The video posted on Ukraine's 5th Assault Battalion of the 92nd Infantry Brigade underlines how cutting-edge technology is colliding with centuries-old tactics helping Ukraine hold ground despite shortages of infantry.
09:05This report tells you how deadly these game of drones can get.
09:10A modern war, ancient tactics, and a chilling moment caught from the sky.
09:34New battlefield footage shows a Ukrainian drone locking onto a Russian soldier riding a horse before a deadly blast ends the escape attempt, underscoring how warfare in 2025 is colliding with centuries-old methods.
09:52Drones have become a defining weapon for Ukraine this year, helping Kyiv hold ground despite serious shortages of infantry.
10:01The newly released video, shared on telegram by a Ukrainian army unit, highlights just how central unmanned systems now are across the front line.
10:14In the footage, a Russian soldier is seen riding a horse across open terrain as a drone tracks him from above.
10:22Moments later, the drone strikes.
10:24The blast hits as the rider tries to flee, showing how little protection speed or surprise offers against aerial surveillance.
10:33Seconds before the first impact, another Russian soldier mounted on a horse comes into view.
10:40The attack continues.
10:42A powerful explosion knocks the horse down, throwing the rider onto the ground.
10:47The animal recovers and runs, leaving the soldier behind.
10:52The undated footage was shared by Ukraine's 5th Assault Battalion of the 92nd Infantry Brigade.
11:00Alongside the video, the unit claimed Russian forces are losing equipment so rapidly that they're being forced to rely on horses to move during assaults.
11:11Ukraine now relies heavily on drones to monitor much of the nearly 600-mile front line.
11:20Surveillance drones spot advancing troops, explosive drones strike first, and larger platforms drop bombs, while infantry fire is used only if attackers break through the aerial net.
11:33And as wars, rage and technologies evolve, protests continue to erupt in other parts of the world.
12:02Raising uncomfortable questions about activism, accountability, and global responsibility.
12:09Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been arrested in central London during a protest in support of Palestine action prisoners currently on hunger strike.
12:19Video shared by the Prisoners of Palestine group shows Thunberg holding a placard opposing what she called genocide outside the offices of Aspen Insurance.
12:30The protest targeted the company for allegedly providing service to Israeli-linked defense firm Elbit Systems.
12:38Two activists sprayed paint on the building before police made multiple arrests. Here's the latest.
12:44Place a portrait on the site!
12:47When do we want this?
12:49Now!
12:50No more!
12:51Blah, blah, blah!
12:52London streets echo with anger and urgency, a familiar face now at the center of a new protest storm.
13:07Climate activist Greta Thunberg has stepped into Britain's most controversial political battle yet, demanding freedom for pro-Palestinian hunger strikers behind bars.
13:18On Monday, Thunberg joined dozens of demonstrators outside central London, showing solidarity with eight Palestine action activists currently held in British prisons.
13:29The group has been on hunger strike since November 2, protesting their continued detention and the UK government's decision to outlaw Palestine action earlier this year.
13:40According to the prisoner-led group Prisoners for Palestine, the hunger strike is taking a severe toll.
13:53Six detainees have now been hospitalized as their protest enters its second month, raising serious concerns over their health and treatment in custody.
14:02Protesters argue the detainees were arrested before Palestine action was officially prescribed in July.
14:11They say the accused could spend more than a year behind bars before their trials even begin, a situation campaigners call unjust and punitive.
14:21Greta Thunberg's presence has drawn international attention.
14:25Once known solely for climate activism, the Swedish campaigner has increasingly linked environmental justice with human rights, including her outspoken support for Palestinian causes.
14:37Born in Sweden in 2003, Thunberg rose to global prominence as a teenager after launching the School Strike for Climate movement.
14:46Her Fridays for Future campaign mobilized millions worldwide and reshaped climate politics across continents.
14:54In recent months, Thunberg has widened her focus.
14:57She joined a Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla, criticized Israel's blockade, and now stands with detainees accused of supporting direct action against Israeli-linked targets.
