Trump tariffs vs Brics bloc, China welcomes PM Modi ahead of SCO Summit, more
This episode of 5ive Live focusses on the escalating trade tensions between India and the United States following President Donald Trump's imposition of additional tariffs, bringing the total levy to 50% on Indian goods. The show explores India's diplomatic and economic strategy, including the debate on retaliatory tariffs and the pursuit of strategic autonomy by strengthening ties with Russia and China. India is actively engaging with fellow BRICS nations, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi having spoken with Brazil's President, and a visit to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit is anticipated. The programme also covers National Security Adviser Ajit Doval's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and discusses the status of India-US defense deals, which sources indicate remain unaffected. Analysis is provided on how these developments could impact a new global order, refuting the 'dead economy' label by highlighting India's growth as the fourth-largest economy and its 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative.

Uttarakhand flash flood fury: India Today reports from Ground Zero
In this edition of 5ive Live, watch India Today's ground reports from the disaster-affected regions in Uttarkashi district in Uttarakhand. The flash floods in Dharali village and Sukhi Top have claimed five lives, left many missing, and swept away homes, hotels, and restaurants in the area, which was busy due to the Char Dham Yatra. Rescue operations, carried out by the Army, NDRF, and SDRF, face significant challenges due to treacherous terrain, unstable weather, and landslides that have severely damaged the Gangotri Highway, including a 60-meter cave-in. Connectivity to the affected zone is cut off, with helicopters being the only viable transport for officials. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami is on-site to oversee relief efforts and meet affected locals. The show also examines the underlying causes of recurring Himalayan disasters, such as melting glaciers, rapid urbanisation, and dam expansion, raising critical questions about human impact on the fragile ecosystem.
