government — i owe it to the people of india has made to us, obviously we will relook at it. as long as mr modinister of india? no. simple as that? relationship with him? yes. confused about who actually holds the reins of power. well, i wouldn't say much more power, but he has more power who controls the police? in a union territory, the lieutenant governor does. see, i think many of your own people believe that you really don't have the power to deliver change. and kashmir assembly election. yes, but we also... look, we were also very clear when we told the people of the things would be possible to deliver as a union territory, and some of them would have to wait no, absolutely not. restoration of statehood is also one of the promises that we worked... yes, but on specific issues. this was going back to 2022, after you'd been and we will do it. so, you're not a state, then you can't do it. the rest of the country, or some internationally they know they know what the reality is. in the assembly elections. what we are doing. grandfather — for generations, it was your party that passed that act.

mr trump made his tariff threat as he entertained india's prime minister, narendra modi, at the whiteh the us. mr trump said that india would be subject to the same tariffs it placed on american imports — but he also announced that india would buy more us produced oil and gas. mr modi said he hoped the two nations would begin talks on a trade agreement. but there's also been some global concern — with taiwan calling a meeting of its national security council to discuss the development. 0ur asia business reporter suranjana tewari is following this story from singapore — she talked through the reaction to mr trump's global tariffs threat. two big events for asia to react to. one was the announcement that trump's administration is going to be looking into these retaliatory tariffs. would be based on a country by country basis. and it really depends what those other countries charge for exports — american exports going into their countries. and that's really interesting because india is one country that actually has very high tariffs for us goods going into india. exports from the us, imp

described, you know what the economist described your relationship with russia as a faustian pact between mr modi and president putin. i believe president putin is invited to come to delhi very soon, isn't he? well, i think the quad leaders will be coming here very soon. and let me also tell you... i'm talking about russia. from the invasion of ukraine by putin's forces in february of 2022. i guess these are connected, aren't they? hop, step and jump. we were told to buy russian oil because if we hadn't bought russian oil and we had started buying our quantities of 5 million barrels a day, which we were buying, bought from the middle east. you've made the point. no. the price would have gone up to $200 a barrel. i'm now into geopolitics. it's interesting. indian foreign service. you understand the way geopolitics works. is it wise, do you believe, for india to have forged majority vote. russia violated ukraine's sovereignty in this invasion, the place it is now in? as i said, a limited understanding of the situation, india is in a comfortable position all over. secretary of state met was the indi

in fact, after the general election last year, people were wondering about the popularity because mr modi's the bjp has come back to power. movement about ten, 12 years ago. and that really played well with the middle class people. and it was always a bugbearfor the bjp. the powers of the state are very limited, but they were able to win in other seats, whereas other europe group, the third—largest in the eu parliament, immigration controls and criticised green regulations they claim are holding back european farming. the summit was attended by marine le pen from netherlands' party for freedom and italian deputy premier matteo salvini. among them was also hungarian prime minister viktor 0rban, who praised donald trump. an era has ended. yesterday we were the heretics. today we are the mainstream. whalesong is more similar to human language than previously thought, according to a new study. researchers looked at how human babies discover words — of st andrews. professor simon kirby, from edinburgh university, also took part in it. i'll never forget the moment we basically took eight years of

so, if the president's plan holds, then mr. modis going to get a crash course in waste, fraud and abuse from the u.s. federal government back to you. >> brian: peter, modi is coming to deal. he understands tariffs coming his way. he wants to get ahead of it. he understands an imbalance between the countries. do you get the sense is that what your read is that he is going to come to avoid some tariffs? >> peter: we'll see. i know that it is very uncommon for modi to engage with the press at all. we were kind of surprised to see that there was an open press event for 5:10 this evening on the schedule. but, assuming that it holds, and they both show, then it will be something that nobody in the world sees very often because, again, he just really does not engage very much. >> steve: so if it's at 5:10, does that mean the cast of "the five" only has to work 50 -- 10 minutes today and 50 minutes of the press conference? >> i'm sure trump and modi will catch the a block and wait for the break and come out then. steve as we all do. thank y

mr. president. um. >> the question. >> for the prime minister modi, first, if i may, i wanted to ask you, um, did you. >> discuss any possible. >> business deals with elon musk during your your meetings today? uh, mr. prime minister and, mr. president. >> i wanted. >> to ask you. >> um. >> today you spoke about hoping to have. >> three way talks with. >> president xi and president putin. what would you. >> say to european leaders and other allies who may be concerned that your. >> um. >> apparently more keen to speak to. >> america's adversaries than to its allies? thank you. >> well, maybe i'll just go first on this one. uh, we had, uh, some talks and we, uh, told the european union, we told the nato people, largely they overlap. you have to pay more money because it's unfair what we're doing. we're doing a tremendous amount more. we're probably $200 billion more going into ukraine using for ukraine to fight and europe has not really carried its weight in terms of the money. it's not equitable. and we want to see a counterbalance. we want to have them put up more money. they have to do that. at the s
