India is one of the biggest buyers of Russian oil, but President Trump wants that to stop. He’s threatened India with even more tariffs, a move that India says is both‘unjustified’ and ‘unreasonable.’ We’ll be getting reaction to the mounting tensions between the two countries. The world’s richest man could get richer as Tesla’s board moves to give CEO Elon Musk a bigger stake to keep him at the company. We’ll hear from a Tesla investor. And we look at the new trend of 'fake' weddings - for those who enjoy wedding parties, but don’t know anyone getting married.
