  • Also in India, a generic drugs maker there, is coming for the company behind Ozampic.

  • And the EU is now looking into the way Meta uses AI in WhatsApp.

  • OK, let's start with India.

  • So President Putin was welcomed in Delhi,

  • where he's to have talks with Prime Minister Modi, focusing on trade and expanding defence ties.

  • It's the first visit by the Russian leader to Delhi

  • since he launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

  • India, like China,

  • has been a big purchaser of Russian oil and has been accused by the West of financing the war.

  • But local resident Sanjay Kumar welcomed closer ties with Russia.

  • In the current global scenario, we are subject to terrorism and other problems,

  • so it's important to build ties with Russia.

  • Russia has from time to time helped us.

  • Therefore,

  • it's a good move and the defence deal should be signed so that all the latest technology reaches India."

  • Sushma Ramachandra is an independent journalist and columnist with the Tribune newspaper in Delhi.

  • India-Russian trading relationship has become more important of late because of oil.
