麻豆约拍

Russian president Vladimir Putin has held high level talks with India's PM Narendra Modi. On the agenda were defence deals involving India purchasing Russian jets, and we discuss the visit with Snehesh Alex Philip, senior associate writer for The Print based in Delhi. We also get the US perspective on the meeting from Michael Kugelman, who is senior associate for south Asia at the Wilson Center think tank. Also in the programme, the 麻豆约拍's Ivana Davidovic investigates America's private adoption industry, and finds out about some of the problems faced by those seeking to adopt, and those sometimes pressured into giving up their children. Plus, we hear from Julia Poliscanova, who is e-mobility lead at Transport and Environment, about concerns that cars powered by synthetic, or so called 'e-fuels', may emit as many poisonous fumes as those with fossil fuel engines.

Today's edition is presented by Rob Young, and produced by Joshua Thorpe, Ivana Davidovic, Sarah Hawkins and Nisha Patel.
