Published 2 days, 20 hours ago
Description
First, we talk to The Indian Express’ Anil Sasi about how the US’s dramatic military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is less about narco-trafficking and more about oil and why even oil giants are hesitant.
Next, we speak to The Indian Express’ Jayprakash Naidu about the ongoing protest by thousands of midday meal cooks in Chhattisgarh, who are demanding a living wage and basic dignity in their work. (15:10)
Lastly, we look at a communal flare-up in Assam’s Bodoland region that led to violence, arrests, and the suspension of internet services. The Indian Express’ Sukrita Baruah joins us with the latest. (23:10)
