On this Special Report and edition of Five Live, anchor Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor examines the death of Yuvraj Mehta, a 27-year-old software engineer who drowned after his car fell into an exposed construction pit in Noida Sector 150. The program details systemic negligence, noting a similar accident occurred at the same spot 15 days prior without corrective action. While the Noida Authority CEO was sacked and builder Abhay Kumar arrested, the broadcast questions the accountability of the SDRF and local administration. Eyewitness Muninder Chaudhary provides testimony regarding the failed rescue efforts. Additionally, the bulletin addresses the rise in student suicides at IIT Kanpur, featuring insights from Director Manindra Agarwal on academic stress and mental health. The coverage concludes with US President Donald Trump’s arrival at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Trump is expected to promote his America First agenda and hold a reception for global business leaders, including seven prominent Indian CEOs from firms such as Tata Sons, Infosys, and Wipro.

On this Special Report, Foreign Affairs Editor Geeta Mohan provides an update on US President Donald Trump's arrival at the World Economic Forum 2026 in Switzerland. The President's upcoming address is expected to focus on an 'America First' message, covering controversial topics such as the acquisition of Greenland, the situation in Venezuela, and the 'weaponization of tariffs'. Geeta Mohan notes that Trump intends to discuss the 'Board of Peace', an initiative his camp suggests could eventually 'replace United Nations'. The report also highlights Trump's scheduled meetings with top Indian CEOs from companies like Tata, Infosys, and Bharti Airtel on the sidelines of the summit. European leaders remain wary of Trump's stance on NATO and his 'warpath' regarding Greenland. The programme explores the global disruptions caused by these policy shifts and the potential impact on international relations and the rules-based world order.

On this Special Report, India Today’s Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai provides an on-ground analysis from the World Economic Forum in Davos as US President Donald Trump arrives for the summit. Sardesai observes, ‘Davos provides a platform for the world to hear both views within 24 hours of each other,’ referring to the contrast between Trump’s narrative and the rule-based world order advocated by leaders like Mark Carney. The discussion highlights the 'cognitive dissonance' between the forum's theme of dialogue and the reality of global conflicts, trade blocks, and rising inequality. Sardesai notes that while critics may view the event as a mere photo op in a 'Trumpian age' where rules are being rewritten, the gathering remains a crucial space for engagement. The report also touches upon Trump's scheduled interactions with the Indian diaspora and global CEOs, questioning the continued relevance of multilateralism in an increasingly unsettled geopolitical landscape.

On this Special Report, India Today speaks with Muninder Chaudhary, a delivery boy and eyewitness to a tragic drowning incident in Noida's Sector 150. Chaudhary alleges that despite the presence of the fire department and police, no rescue attempt was made for nearly two hours because officials claimed the water was too cold and dark. He states, 'I tied a rope around my waist and jumped into the water' after seeing the administration's inaction. Chaudhary further claims he is being pressured by the Noida Authority and local police to retract his viral statements regarding the lack of timely intervention. He clarifies that a video of him praising the administration was recorded under duress after being misled into visiting a police station. The program highlights the bravery of a common citizen and the serious allegations of negligence and intimidation within the local administration.
