Karan RaoHOST
So let's start right at the main table of the eleven-member BRICS summit in New Delhi.
Karan RaoHOST
It was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and according to the breakdown in The Hindu, the grouping has officially adopted the New Delhi declaration.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
Which is a big deal, but, uh, getting to that final document, that required navigating some really intense overnight negotiations.
Karan RaoHOST
Yeah.
Karan RaoHOST
Mm-hmm.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
So, you know, when they can't agree on who to blame, they just agree to tell everyone to calm down.
Karan RaoHOST
But The Hindu notes that what actually did make the final cut is still pretty significant.
Karan RaoHOST
They included strong criticism of Israel, backing for South Africa's legal case, and they endorsed a two-state solution based on nineteen sixty-seven borders, plus a big push for comprehensive UN reform.
Karan RaoHOST
If you're anywhere near central Delhi right now, you are literally living this first story.
Karan RaoHOST
According to The Hindu, the city has undergone this staggering transformation into a secured zone for the 18th BRICS Summit.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
Yeah, which is happening at Feroz Shah Kotla-
Karan RaoHOST
Yeah
Karan RaoHOST
The geopolitical lines being drawn in these bilateral meetings are fundamentally rooted in economic power and the global financial system.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
Yeah, and we're seeing some direct challenges to that system.
Karan RaoHOST
According to The Hindu, BRICS finance ministers and central bank governors met in Mumbai and issued a joint statement.
Karan RaoHOST
They issued this really stark warning against the unilateral imposition of tariffs.

Ayesha MehtaHOST
Let us start with the physical landscape of New Delhi, which is currently undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
According to reporting in The Hindu, Delhi has deployed an incredible fifteen thousand police personnel alongside two hundred companies of paramilitary forces for the BRICS Summit.
Karan RaoHOST
Just to pause on that math for a second, a paramilitary company is usually around, what, a hundred personnel?
Ayesha MehtaHOST
Yeah, roughly.
Karan RaoHOST
So we're talking about tens of thousands of armed forces locking down the city.
Karan RaoHOST
The Hindu details that Feroz Shah Kotla, which is the main venue, is just an absolute fortress.
Karan RaoHOST
We have no-fly zones, a temporary drone ban across the capital until September 14th, and authorities have installed roughly five hundred high-definition cameras along the Tughlaq Road corridor alone.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
And those are not your standard CCTV cameras, are they?

The Iran war has entered another dangerous phase with the confrontation between Tehran and Washington increasingly spilling into the Persian Gulf.
Sharmada VenkatasubramanianHOST
Iran has stepped up attacks on shipping around the Strait of Hormuz, while the US has intensified efforts to restrict Iranian oil exports.
Sharmada VenkatasubramanianHOST
At the same time, questions over Iran's nuclear program remains unresolved, and tensions are raising across the region.
Sharmada VenkatasubramanianHOST
So what is Iran trying to achieve with this escalation? What remains of Iran's nuclear program? Is this conflict turning into a wider regional war? And how dire is the economic situation in Iran really? We discuss all these questions and more in today's episode of In Focus, and joining me once again is Stanley Johny, The Hindu's international affairs editor.
Sharmada VenkatasubramanianHOST

Artificial intelligence for the layperson has only been around for less than four years, since ChatGPT was released for general use, but it already feels like the technology is being embedded into many sectors, including in education.

Oh my God, the orangutan story.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
Yeah.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
The Hindu reports that five juvenile orangutans, three males and two females, were just discovered wandering in a Casuarina plantation in Balasore, Odisha.
Karan RaoHOST
I saw this and was completely bewildered.
Roy CasagrandaGUEST
And then long term, their plan was to eventually invade India.
Roy CasagrandaGUEST
And they were going to convert the Hindu population and the Muslim population into Christians.
Roy CasagrandaGUEST
And, you know, I don't know that they had China on their radar, but that was the goal.
Roy CasagrandaGUEST
The goal was to Christianize the Middle East and India.

Trial by jury is a blessing conferred by our mother country on all our sister colonies, that the Hindu in India, the Hottentot in Africa, and the Negro slave in the West Indies alike partake of its protection and advantages.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We, Englishmen, the sons of Englishmen, will not be deemed unworthy of that great blessing and suffer to remain the solitary exception within the wide range of British rule.
