First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Shubhajit Roy about the escalating conflict involving United States, Iran, and Israel, and why it is now being seen as a widening regional war. 

Next, we turn to the growing debate over India’s GDP numbers after a new data series released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation raised fresh concerns about how economic growth is being measured. The Indian Express’ Udit Misra explains why discrepancies persist and what this means for policymaking and credibility. (15:25)
