Delhi, India's vast central metropolis and the sprawling seat of government, has the deadliest air of all the world capitals - routinely exposing millions of its inhabitants to a shocking range of life-threatening diseases, which in turn cause thousands of fatalities every year.

So why is Delhi's air so polluted? And what if anything is being done to clean it up? We asked journalist Neha Mehta, who was born and raised in the city, to find out.

Mexico's Sinaloa cartel is one of the most powerful criminal enterprises in the world, its multibillion-dollar revenue gained mostly from trafficking narcotics such as cocaine, heroin and fentanyl into the United States.

Its activities are deadly and harmful, not just for many consumers of its products but also for those who cross it or try and stand in its way. Along with rival cartels, it is responsible for tens of thousands of brutal murders and it corrupts almost everything it touches - government, law enforcement, public institutions - with a sea of dirty narco-money.

So how does it operate? Over two episodes of People and Power, filmmaker Vincent Prado goes behind the scenes to find out.

Inside the Sinaloa Cartel (Part 1) | People and Power

When the coronavirus pandemic began spreading across the world earlier this year, Italy quickly became one of Europe's worst-affected nations and soon after went into lockdown.

As its hospitals began to falter under the growing strain, its economy ground to a halt and the population retreated into their homes.

We asked two filmmakers from Rome, Alessandro Righi and Emanuele Piano, to document those remarkable first few weeks. Their episode of People & Power is a revealing and moving portrait of how their fellow Italians responded to an unprecedented crisis.

Coronavirus: Lockdown Italy | People and Power

Thailand has begun lifting restrictions after a steady decline in the number of coronavirus infections.
But many people still need help putting food on the table and some businesses are expected to struggle.
The government will evaluate the situation every two weeks - either determining to further ease the restrictions - or if there is a spike in confirmed cases, they will reimpose some of the restrictions.

Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler reports from Bangkok.
