Shri Mohammad Shami Hello and welcome, You're watching ND TV, 24 7 I'm Osama Shab Our top story Following a major backlash over disparaging comments about Prime Minister Modi and India by three Maldivian ministers, the Maldives president Mohammad Moyo has appealed to China to send more tourists to his country. This appeal comes amid a significant number of cancellation of reservations by Indian tourists in the wake of the ongoing diplomatic row. According to data released by the Maldives Tourism Ministry earlier, India has remained the largest tourist market for the country in 2023. The government has plans to diversify the tourism product and offer new experiences. Initiatives include a top tier school of hospitality and exploring sports, medical and cultural tourism. China was our number one market pre covid and it is my request that we intensify efforts for China to regain his position. We know that he is always always said to be close to China. Even before his election, his election plan was ousted of India from there. So he is on his first visit abroad as the president of Maldives and this is also a break from tradition because traditionally all the Maldivian presidents who take oath of office, their first visit abroad is to India, but he has broken this tradition. He has gone to China on a five day state visit now he was addressing the Maldives Business Forum in Puya province and he has termed China as the island's closest ally. He has also said that China remains so far remains one of our closest allies and development partners. He has also praised the belt and road initiative, which has been opposed by India, on the ground that it has the areas which have been disserved by Pakistan now. He has also urged China to bolster the flow of tourists to Maldives. We know that before covid, the maximum number of tourists to Maldives were from China. But over the years this has been overtaken by Indian tourists. Even in 2022 in 2023 the maximum number of tourists were from India. The second position was held by Russian tourists who went to Maldives and now that he is in China, he is requesting China for maximum number of tourists. He has also the Maldives and media has also reported that the two countries have signed up US D 50 million project to develop an integrated tourism zone in the in the in the island in Maldives and but the fact is that the Maldives economy largely depends on tourism for it for it, and that's the reason he's been asking that. But it takes a different view, given the controversy regarding the derogatory with mamas, which were put out by three deputy ministers of the government. And another story we are tracking is the India blocks seat sharing talks for the upcoming locals by elections in states like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, among other states. Now, these talks are not going to be a cakewalk for the India block as headaches remain in Uttar Pradesh as well as West Bengal. The question is, can the Allies find a common ground by the Maharashtra Maha Vikas Aghai has come to agreement on seat sharing in Maharashtra's 48 losa seats. Congress reached this agreement with SA and the NCP on Tuesday. Sanj out said that discussion happened over every seat, while the Congress said that the party will announce the seats First Maharashtra discussion is primarily regarding the seats. We wanted to declare the seats of Mahdi as early as possible, so when the fruitful discussion was going on for the last 3, 2.5 hours, we discussed everything and we are very happy to say that everything is going smoothly and within days the seats will be announced. We are very strong, this unitedly. We will fight the parliament election seats. We will be declaring within due course. While in West Bengal no consensus has been reached over the 42 looks about seats. Three Congress sources have said that they do want to have an alliance with the Grand Old Party, but they have only offered two seats to Congress. The top Congress leadership has been briefed about this development, and in Uttar Pradesh, the big question remains. Will seat sharing work out between Congress and Samajwadi Party? Now there are 80 looks about seats in Uttar Pradesh, and the Congress is hopeful of an alliance with the Samajwadi Party in the state. Congress says that things are moving in the right direction, but considering Congress's presence in up will Samajwadi Party go in for an alliance with the Congress? Oh, I'm really joined by the man who's been working overnight over the days, you know, for trying to find the seat negotiations. How close are you? Let's start with Uttar Pradesh because this was a very brief meeting with Ram Gopal Yadav, as well as Javed Khan. Did any discussion take place? Well, when things are going well and when things are going in the right direction, you don't need a long time to be persuading each other. We are on the same page. We have a very I feel that we were able to communicate very well. We all both sides know up very well and therefore it didn't require a long introduction and things of that nature. We've had an excellent meeting and we've tried to understand the broad parameters and we will now move forward. In the next couple of days. We'll move forward to specifying how the seed distribution can be done and then we'll take a final call. And my colleague Sunil POW has been tracking this story very closely and he brings us the round up. Of all the developments over the seat sharing talks. Listen, The convenor of the National Alliance for the Congress Party, Mr Mukul was along with some members have gone and met the Congress president, Mr Karg, to apprise him about the deliberations that have taken place for the last three days. Today was Day three of the discussion in terms of seat adjustments the Congress Party reaching out to the Maharashtra leadership as well as other leaders from the ship as well as NCP, where they have been able to get a broad agreement in terms of seat sharing. And we leave it for the final outcome, depending on bill ability and various other criterias. But they say that that could be the first state. The other states that they have discussed is Uttar Pradesh, which was a very brief meeting. The aspirations of each state of each party, be it the Congress as well as the Samajwadi Party, have to meet. At present, they are not at a meeting ground and that's clearly something that the Congress leadership will have to take into account, given the fact that the Congress's position hasn't been very dominant in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Having said that, there have been other states where the Congress Party is trying to reach out in terms of alliances. They have had a discussion with the armed army party, but specific only to Delhi, the army party keen on an alliance not only in Delhi but also in Punjab, as well as in Gujarat and Haryana, something that the Congress leadership isn't really ready for at this present juncture. This is something that we'll have to wait and see. Every party, including as the Congress leadership, has reached out to the TR Congress, which has only given two seats a big issue in terms of how they want to go forward, the Congress very clearly reaching out to the Congress, saying I try to find a way forward trim, saying We have been extremely gracious and restrained and we would like and are committed to an alliance. The big question now is how do the senior leaders work out and ensure that the India bloc come together and fight on a common platform in terms of seats and various other issues. A meeting at Chief Minister Ikar Shin's residence in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Dears and Ajit Babar has concluded. The D GP, Rashmi Shukla and senior police officers were present at this meeting. According to the sources, there is a possibility of discussion on the issue of law and order being disturbed in view of tomorrow's decision, joining us for to give us more details. Ronna Kukri on phone line. Ron what What discussions were held And what are the preparations that we can expect for tomorrow? Well, Osama, this is a very important meeting which was going on at CIA resident. Actually, we know that tomorrow is a big day for Maharashtra politics because Speaker VS Speaker Rahul Narvik has to deliver a ver consti a disqualification matter. And in that background, the law situation in Mumbai and Maharashtra will not disturb. However, this meeting has been taking place at CM residence where the D GP, Rashmi Shukla, Mumbai CP and Mumbai Special CP They all are at CM House and this meeting is going on. So in that background, this meeting is going to help. All right, Rana K. Thank you very much for all those details. Uh, we'll slip into a very short break. More news and updates on the other side. Welcome back. A 39 year old Bengaluru starter founder allegedly murdered her four year old son in Goa and travelled to Karnataka with his body before she was caught. Susanna said CEO of artificial intelligence start up mindful a I lab was arrested in Karnataka, Chitra Durga on Monday with her son's body in a bag. She allegedly killed her young son in an apartment in north Goa's Kalin. Here's a report The Goa police have six days to piece together what caused 39 year old Bengaluru start up. Founder Sujana set to allegedly murder her four year old son at a Goa hotel room and then attempt to flee 600 kilometres to Karnataka with his body before she was checked into the hotel in North Goa scandal with her son on Saturday while her husband, who works as an A I developer, was in Indonesia on Monday, she checked out of the room alone and asked the hotel staff to book her a taxi to Bengaluru. Several details about this gruesome murder are as yet unclear, including the motive behind the mother having to take the drastic step allegedly of killing the child. Those confirmed so far are the boy was found killed or murdered inside a Goa service apartment. His body was stuffed into a bag and the bag was found in the cab that was hired by the mother to head to Bangalore Kun husband. Kado relationship that is not good in diverse proceedings almost finalised by and there was some court order because of which she was very unhappy. We will check check the veracity of the facts as well, so we have to do further investigation. The police have credited the presence of mind of the hotel employee and the taxi driver for the arrest. According to the police, After Ms checked out of the hotel room, staff at the Seoul Banyan Grand Hotel noticed blood stains while cleaning the room and called the police. The police tracked down the cab and to avoid alerting or panicking, they spoke to the driver in Kani on the phone and directed him to a police station. The taxi driver, rather than being rattled by numerous calls from the cops, acted calmly and followed instructions with Prati Rahman bureau report ND TV and the post mortem report of the child is out. This post mortem says that the child was smothered and killed by strangulation. The post mortem also says that pillow could have been used for this gruesome murder. Doctors are saying that the killing took place 36 hours ago and I was mothering anti English mothering Stang sang in the in the and there are more than 36. Are they coming out of the fact I did speak with the doctor who did reveal that the chest, as well as the face of the child, was found swollen when the body arrived for post mortem. And that was the key indication that the child could have died of suffocation and the nose was also found bleeding. This is also possible when the child is suffocated to death, and that's when the veins kind of pop out. And that's how the blood kind of flows through places that are unforeseen, like the nose, for example here. And the second thing is that for about 36 hours, the body will have something called the rigour mortis, which was absent in the case of this child. So that is how the doctors concluded that the murder could have possibly happened around six hours ago. But then the exact time will be extremely difficult to tell. The third point that was revealed is that the child could have been smothered using a cloth or a pillow, and the child could have suffocated to death. But then absolutely no use of strangulation by hands. There were no marks, no signs of struggle as well. The child there were no wound marks. There were no crats, nothing. So these are the prima facie information that has been gathered by the doctor. But then the detailed post mortem will be out soon, sooner or later and in the meantime, yes, six days that the Goa police have got before they could interrogate the accused and find out one of the key questions that is still doing the rounds. And that is the motive behind the mother taking this step. Emmanuel Macron appointed 34 year old Education Minister Gabriel Latal as his new prime minister on Tuesday. At 34 Gabriel Latal is France's youngest post war prime minister, a record previously held by leftist Laurent Fabius, who was 37 when he was named the prime minister by Francois Mitterrand in 1984.
