On this Special Report, the focus is on the launch of the 'Board of Peace' by US President Donald Trump during a high-profile ceremony in Davos. The initiative is projected as a roadmap to end the war and rebuild Gaza, bringing together nearly 20 nations including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and Israel. Donald Trump stated, 'Once this board is completely formed, we can do pretty much whatever we want to do, and we'll do it in conjunction with the United Nations.' The programme highlights the participation of Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, which has raised eyebrows due to Islamabad's lack of diplomatic ties with Israel. While the board aims for reconstruction and peace, the report notes the ongoing conflict on the ground, including Israeli strikes in Lebanon. The initiative faces scrutiny over its contradictions and the inclusion of central parties to the war, even as it promises a billion-dollar fund for Palestinian reconstruction.

On this Special Report, the focus is on the escalating political and religious row in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has issued a stern warning against 'Kaal Nemi-like forces trying to weaken the Sanatan Dharm from within.' The statement comes after Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati skipped the Mouni Amavasya Snan at the Magh Mela, citing a lack of respect and protocol violations. The Samajwadi Party has accused the Yogi Adityanath-led government of targeting the seer and politicising sacred rituals. While the Magh Mela administration denies any wrongdoing, the Shankaracharya has reportedly decided to skip the upcoming Basant Panchami Snan as well. This report explores the collision of faith and politics as the battle over the Ganga Snan intensifies between the BJP and the opposition.

On this news bulletin, host Gaurav Sawant leads a heated debate regarding the administrative restrictions placed on Swami Avimukteshwaranand at the Magh Mela in Prayagraj. The discussion centers on the Uttar Pradesh government's decision to deny the seer specific protocols, with Shantanu Gupta noting, 'Because your title of Shankaracharya is debated, so we can't give you, offer the protocol.' Gupta argues that the title for Jyotirmath remains legally contested, while Samajwadi Party spokesperson Ghanshyam Tiwari accuses Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of arrogance and 'heritage destruction' in Kashi. Tiwari further criticizes the government's treatment of religious heads, citing alleged assaults on the seer's disciples. The panel examines whether administrative safety for devotees should take precedence over the traditional rights of religious figures during high-crowd events like Mouni Amavasya. The programme explores the intersection of spirituality, legal disputes over religious titles, and political posturing in Uttar Pradesh.
