India is seeking a detailed explanation from Meta after a video message posted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was briefly removed from Facebook.

Some users reportedly saw a notice saying the content had been withheld in India following a legal request. Meta later restored the video, apologized and attributed its removal to a technical error.

Former Ukrainian diplomat and adviser to the prosecutor general Andrey Telizhenko joins the program to discuss the case.

Over the weekend, Ukraine struck two vessels in the Caspian sea, the world's largest inland body of water, thousands of miles from the actual front lines. This is a strike on a shipping lane between Iran and Russia and it tells you something important about where this war actually is and isn't being fought right now. Because here's what's happening on the actual battlefield: Ukraine's own mobilization efforts have become one of the most controversial stories of this entire war. America Now anchor Ben Swann talks with Ukrainian whistleblower and former diplomat, Andrey Telizhenko about the latest developments. Also, the department of justice is charging a man with destroying evidence after his phone erased itself during a federal search at an airport. America Now’s Jalyssa Dugrot has the details.

After months of escalating war, the United States has hit the pause button. President Trump has temporarily halted strikes on Iran, saying he wants to give diplomacy one more chance, while warning that if talks fail, “strong military action” remains on the table. That's the official explanation but behind the scenes, a very different debate is emerging. There are two competing narratives about what’s really happening. Some reports suggest that this recent pause is because the United States is running dangerously low on the precision weapons needed to keep fighting. Others - that the U.S. still has ample capability, and the pause is about giving the Pentagon time to plan a larger more decisive campaign. America Now anchor Ben Swann talks with Brandon Weicher, author and former congressional staffer. Also, anger is mounting against Ukraine after Kiev launched attacks in the Caspian and black seas over the weekend.

In the latest episode of In Conversation with Salman Khurshid, author, scientist, and former advisor to Indian President late Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Srijan Pal Singh, joins former External Affairs Minister of India Salman Khurshid for an insightful discussion.

Reflecting on his years with Dr. Kalam, Srijan shares that the former President never wanted to be remembered solely as the "Missile Man" or the "People's President"; at heart, he always remained a teacher.

He recalls Dr. Kalam's deep emotional connection with India's missile programme and how he would often joke that his three sons were Prithvi, Agni, and BrahMos.

Srijan also traces the origins of the BrahMos missile, revealing how an abandoned ramjet engine in Russia inspired Dr. Kalam with the idea that eventually led to the development of one of the world's most advanced missile systems.
