and to more than double in india. these trends call attention to the challenges of providing social support and protection to growing numbers of older persons. china's population boom and projected decline paints. a fascinating picture of an authoritarian state that 1st push people to have children then reversed course, to implement a family planning policy that limited many couples to just one child. and now it faces this demographic drop while simultaneously seeing its elderly population grow . urine. remember that in the 19 ninety's young chinese workers from the countryside flooded cities to take the factory and construction jobs, fueling the boom that saw china become the world's 2nd largest economy. that liverpool is shrinking and like it did in 19 fifties. the government is now encouraging women to have more children. again, that's why you have baiting playing down this demographic milestone. dismissing it as unnecessary hype, officials are privately worried, even though they are publicly staying up beat from w

okay, tension between china and india. there, nothing new but a with a renewed new delhi on the international political scene. what will such strained relations mean going forward on picking that from rick sanchez on direct impact ah a 3 year hi, i'm rick sanchez. i've been doing who's now for some 30 years and 2 different languages all over the world. and certainly here in the united states, i've interviewed for us president side, founded a $1000000000.00 business. and through all that, i believe news should be honest and direct and impactful. in fact, the show is direct impact. ah, i want to start this conversation between you and i with what may be the most counter intuitive news that i can share with you. because it's a bit of a head shake or really seen while everybody is focusing on the south china sea. the taiwan strait and the conflict in ukraine between nato and russia, and the ongoing chaos in the middle east. there's this long standing tension with real clashes that are taking place. i mean real classes that are

so it's a big moment for india with a lot of focus on the numbers. but population growth either makes people nervous due to questions about sustaining a good quality of life for so many or economists get excited about the future labor pool. where do you fall on this spectrum? actually in death falls on the 2nd spectrum because india has a huge young population. we have 350000000 people who are below the age 25. so there is an excitement about the prospect of economic growth. accelerated the potential of what economists and demographers of population dividend. so that is where india right now is because the population is going to grow for some time because we have a young population. and number 2, we have 25 years of window of opportunity to scale out people and have people not only contribute to economic growth in india, but globally, because fertility is declining at an alarming rate in large number of countries, china, japan, korea. and so he talk about this opportunity that these 25 years. so what is the policy suggestion? you give the indian gove

india. and then it opens up and it becomes almost like a, like an island or peninsula in india. i'm pardon me, in china. the geographical formation of it makes it look like it's really part of china. is that, or is that part of the problem here for india in china, reserve that and who doesn't really belong to? well, you know, i think it's, i think these borders are disputed and they go back to british colonialism. but the british used to various differing borders at different times. they had 11 different borders that they would use really mean by that because i think you're being very polite. i think what you're really a great britain, a crayon or a pencil and a piece of paper and a map. and he starts drawing lines separating though to countries part of china and part of india without any cultural knowledge or understanding of either probably. and the consequences for what he did on that day sitting there with that bottle of june foot are the ones that were seeing play out . no. did i overst

s. needs it's india is india doesn't go along with this. the u. s. is in a bad place to try and av um, meet its goal. no. i think its very important india's in fairy very important part of this. once again, as i said, this is why we're using the 19th century terminology of the indo pacific beforehand . it was always the asia pacific. this, the bismarck enter, that the ursus brought back because they want india to be the left flank of this encirclement. so they need so they need india um to be in a conflict with china. so therefore, that situation, speaking of the west, they would like to see more badly royals, as we said earlier, conflicts that they would like to not see india take russia side in the situation with ukraine. they're disappointed with india for buying rushes oil when they sanctioned it. and now they're probably disappointed that india is not coming out. ah, perhaps so more fervently against us sending trips or partnerships along that dog, taiwan straits. correct? yes, and you're absolutely correct. and remember, india traditionally has

in india. we have been interpreting loaf tenets or so in the more than we and in the event that is more useful for the common people. so all this thing leaves us and you know, i will be in the facilities in the future that must feel that everybody is motivated and doesn't have any kind of good adopting from the valley. around 200 kilometers away from delhi is the city of motor park muslims make up 46 percent of the population here. the younger generation of this local muslim family. i've defined orthodoxy was the cost of living. i of course higher than the or yeah, but it does not need a expense. we are not having the children right now. and this is what i think is planning based right now we are there before the goods are right now. we don't want them to be in our life right now. we want to live the life for ourselves. also, indians feet guffman happened to do separate measures to slow down population could, on average india's fidelity date has fallen due to a personal choice that could play a

well, they are hating india to their against india. and of course modi's the chief hero and the story. ah, what's her international news outlets like how to farrah missing in the coverage of india right now? well, i would like to see i'm am does being very honest or well. yeah, i would like to see algebra reporting, news, or reporting events and not being an exclusive child on muslim issues in india. so you have to decide what you wish to be. you want to be amused. outlet on you want to be an outlet for only the muslims often via but even if you wish to be an outlet for only the muslims of india, i would really want you to go and meet the vast majority of muslims in india who'll oh fis and neither deprivation nor do them thus and he grew once his conscience gupta said similar things about the new york times and the washington post that they also focus too much on muslim issues. but spend any time watching the channels feeding news to indians. and you'll realize, somebody's gotta do it, report on the frightening trajectory that this sto

that's india's reason.. you mentioned _ and growth asked too much. you mentioned the _ and growth asked too much. you mentioned the workforce but with all that five women are in the formal workforce. that rate is declined as india has grown more prosperous.— more prosperous. ways that? it's a more prosperous. ways that? it's a real— more prosperous. ways that? it's a real paradox. _ more prosperous. ways that? it's a real paradox. most - more prosperous. ways that? | it's a real paradox. most parts of the world you see that as countries get richer, as poorer countries get richer, as poorer countries get richer, our likely to be more opportunities for women to participate in the workforce. india's trend line, despite becoming has actually diverged from much of the actions of the world, and economists have puzzled over this question for a while, part of it could be cultural but that's a very simplistic way of looking at india. i think the reason that most economists have settled on is that the quality of the

does india care? well kate, i mean we could definitely it's, it's a tricky matter for india, but, you know, we have seen into, has been doing this tightrope walk ever since the ukraine war began the western countries including the u. k. we know they've not been happy with india dance and all these countries, including the u. k. b, have conveyed on several occasions that they are not happy. but then there's appears to be pretty confident in the, in its assumption that a given the fact that none of the western countries have not sort of penalized in the are not taking any extreme action against india. so india perhaps is confident that of when it goes on intensifying its trade relationship with russia. it's relationship with the western countries will also not be jeopardized because they probably understand the various forces at play and. and then that could be behind the timing of the smooth kit. all right, tara kite k in delhi. thank you very much. and a reminder of our top story. the shanghai also ha

but india is on a precipice. the voices of hindered for hindu supremacy or ascended, as is in tolerance, hate speech. it has worked its way through the body politic like a slow acting poison. the effect on the muslims targeted has proven toxic at times deadly. hate speech proposes violence as a solution. and in india, it is pumped out night after night. the country has hundreds of news channels, many of which have monetized conflict. they trade in hyper hindu nationalist, xena phobia name calling, usually in support of india's ruling party, the b j. p. and prime minister rand, remotely window, because i think you know why, why it's like a now due to the fight, evening of on evening with all its attendance cruelties and the banality of hypnotic entertainment. i think sunday morning in the way you conduct yourself on television. and there's also this, this is joy that people find in the collective fleeing of ideas that are contrary and to establish meant or the fleeing of individual or community is a decimal mother

that is telling you how important india is for apple and how india loves apple.s reading a report where apple had 3% market share in india if you look at the luxury phone market which is growing at 55%, apple has 60% market share and samsung with 20% where it matters, apple has market share the store opened at 11:00 a.m. it is closer to 3:00 p.m. in india and the line is still long we have a couple of hundred people waiting to get in >> we will see you later this week in new delhi. is tim cook supposed to be there? >> reporter: that correct. tim cook was here in mumbai. the second store opens the day after tomorrow in new delhi. tim cook will be there he met with the reliance chairman and sources tell us in deli, delhi, he will metet other officials. it is important he meets all of the senior leaders and industrialists to talk about the way forward. my sense is they will go ahead and open a lot more because of the way they were received here. let's see how it pans out. india is excited >> mangalam, thank you very much >>> let's talk about the footprint in the mar

and india with plan of encirclement around china now will act india because of its alliance with russia. therefore, since then, the quad formation has weakened dependent role in many of these. ugh, ugh, united states and china and russia and how many miss holds? i think we're going to be able to put it on a map and you're going to see that if you don't, on the south side, there's a very little neck that's actually part of india and that it over geographical formation of it makes it look like it's really part of china, china reserve that and who doesn't really belong to issues to various differing borders at different times. they had really mean by that because i think you're being very polite. i think what you really forgot his name was he had a name, it's actually been named in an a crayon or a pencil entries part of china and part of india without any cultural june, which are the ones that we're seeing play out. now. for example, in south korea and north korea, what happened ruler? deciding where the board is go, what do you make of this? come? and he said this for the whole world her

so that really has been a priority for india and tow. why would india do? india has a perfectly healthy relationship with moscow just to lead off a little information here. india started buying discount russian oil ever since. the conflict began from nearly one percent less than one percent. oil imports from law school in it's in for the sauce gate to over 30 percent. now in fact, india buying more than 1600000 barrels of crude from moscow in a day. in fact, that is more than what india is buying, combined from saudi arabia, iraq. remember those 2 war india and dominant and traditional oil supply of india is going to continue buying oil from moscow. and in fact, it's not just joy. like i mentioned, india wants to in fact and boost surety jake and clea tied that with mall school and in fact the creed minutes through moscow. is your renew deleon for 2 days with it? you're out of business for him. as he met with the indian foreign minister, the s j shanker, who also echoed his sentiments. we believe that in times of global instability, the world economy requir

india. if the u. s. could get india to really join forces with it. and as it's taking sides against china, against russia, and against all the other job us proposals, it could change the global dynamic altogether. and that may be why that border clash is more worthy of attention than what it's actually getting. which is why we are focusing on it. we're back now with k j no, to continue this. so part of the conversation and kj you mention that previously that the united states would probably like to see nothing more than some kind of a dispute. ah, in that border that involves countries like pakistan and india and china. and while that's unsettling to anybody listening to you thinking, oh my god, these countries are very powerful. they have nuclear warheads. we wouldn't want to see that happen. you suggest there's several reasons why the united states would, would, would, would almost take some pleasure out of it. you mentioned belton road, which obviously as an economic play. but then we've

it is ahead of india in several ways. how does india play catch up innocence? important agenda points for india will be areas that have been under focus for several years now, for instance, education, access to food, but the most important and most pressing challenge will be to provide economic opportunity to that you know, population of below 30, because that could very quickly turn for this country from a dividend into a disaster, and i think that will have to be a focus and has been the focus of this government, but successive governments come and we don't have a very successful track record when it comes to employment. we don't even have clear numbers on unemployment in this country, date at that we can rely on to be able to build a hypothesis of where to go next, but india needs to be firing on all cylinders, manufacturing services to create the right opportunity for the fast growing population of under 30. rishaad: um, we will bring in now our south asian economy report appeared -- reporter. to that point, we have the biggest economy in the world with the

>> the strategy is twofold -- you really need to manufacture devices you are selling in india in indiaelf to save on some of the import taxes which are incredibly high as they are in brazil. that's another place apple has set up shop to produce iphones on the bigger can tone it is diversification. apple had mostly produced its devices in china. over the last four or five years or so, you seem issues related to tariffs with potential trade war between the u.s. and china and this covid zero policy in china, the impact of the virus in china and on apple's production. you seen many delays to keep the macbook pro in force. two years into covid, you saw it a major shutdown at foxconn that prevented apple to sell some products. you have to diversify to avoid problems like that that's what you are see -- seeing apple lay the groundwork for in india but place like vietnam and asia and asia in the little bit of ireland. ed: let's go more global. we asked the audience that if you could buy an apple product, when do you do it? in-store or online or from a third-party? 55% of respondents online is

that is what india is doing.t is how you would see that the indian defense expenditure -- of course wwere not fortunate enough that when we got independence, we could have had a big defenseman infection sector. but we have created, to some extent -- and we are relying on external exporters. it so happens that since we didn't get too much technology from the west initially, we were overly dependent on russia, which we are aware of. therefore, you will see the difference, the kind of diversification which we have done. and you will find that it is increasingly getting more usa, france, and israel. imran: let me speak to elisabeth. you heard what our guest in new delhi had to say. india is having to spend money because of the threat it faces from china and pakistan. however, diplomacy is still the only way through this. the world spending more money on weapons, is that a damage to the diplomacy, or a failure of diplomacy? guest: i think we would all like a world where almost no money is being spent on weapons becaus

over to india now _ an advantage here. over to india now which _ an advantage here.hich is facing i india now which is facing intense heat waves in the month of april which is much earlier than in previous years. a recent study by the university of cambridge said, heat waves are growing more common and severe in india as a result of climate change. and it is holding back development. over 90% of the countries in the danger to the zone of extreme heat waves and their effects like health issues food shortages and increased risk of blackouts and death and according to the report have already seen the impact. temperatures have soared above 40 temperatures have soared above a0 celsius in most parts of the country even a5 degrees in some regions of india. schools have either been shot or have reduced hours. —— shut. over a0 people died in a state—sponsored ceremony due to sunstroke. the highest death toll from a single heat related eventin toll from a single heat related event in the country's history. electricity demand has spiked. and just the first fortnight of april en
