This special report unpacks two of India's biggest developing stories: the massive Enforcement Directorate probe into industrialist Anil Ambani's business empire and the complex caste dynamics of Bihar's EBC vote bank. 'And so clearly, the extremely backward classes, EBCs, are kingmakers in Bihar politics because of their numerical strength and fragmented identity.' The programme delves into the specifics of the alleged ₹17,000 crore loan fraud linked to Ambani's companies, including Reliance Communications, and the subsequent attachment of assets by the ED. It also examines the political significance of Bihar's Extremely Backward Classes, who constitute about 36% of the state's population and are being intensely wooed by all political alliances. Finally, we break down the primary causes of Delhi's severe winter pollution, with latest data pointing to vehicular emissions as the single largest contributor.

Aditya Thackeray's Snooping Charge: 'Drone Peeping Into My Home'
A major controversy has erupted in Mumbai over Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray's allegation that a drone was used to spy on his family's residence, Matoshree. The transcript quotes Aditya Thackeray stating 'he found a drone peeping into his residence'. He has questioned the authorities, asking why the family was not informed beforehand if it was an official survey and why the drone was hovering specifically near his home. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and the Mumbai Police have refuted the snooping claims, clarifying that the drone was part of a pre-approved, official survey for a project in the adjacent Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC). The incident has sparked a political row, with the Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) raising serious concerns about security and a potential conspiracy, while officials maintain it was a routine, authorized activity.
Trump Orders Nuclear Test Restart, Ignites New Arms Race Fears
This special report examines the global fallout from Donald Trump's recent directive for the US military to resume nuclear weapons testing, a move that pits Washington against rivals Russia and China. The programme opens with a stark warning: 'The United States has reignited one of history's most dangerous debates'. After a moratorium of over 30 years, with the last US test in 1992, this decision threatens to unravel decades of nuclear restraint. The move comes after Russia's 2023 withdrawal of its ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), aligning its stance with the US, which signed but never ratified the 1996 accord. With a global arsenal of over 12,000 warheads and major powers actively modernising their forces, analysts fear this could trigger a renewed, high-stakes arms race, reminiscent of the Cold War's most perilous moments.
Kerala Govt vs RSS: School Under Probe For 'Communal' Song On Vande Bharat
A major controversy has erupted in Kerala, where the state government has launched a probe into students from Saraswathi Vidyalaya singing an alleged RSS-affiliated song during the inauguration of the Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express. Kerala's General Education Minister, V. Sivankutty, stated that 'using students to promote political or communal agendas during government events amounts to a violation of constitutional principles'. The probe, to be conducted by the Director of General Education, will investigate if there were lapses in involving students in an official function and if the platform was misused for ideological purposes. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan also condemned the incident, calling the inclusion of the song in a government event a "blatant violation of constitutional principles". Southern Railway, which initially posted a video of the performance, later clarified it was the students' "school song".
