This special report examines the escalating crisis in Iran, where a deepening economic collapse has triggered nationwide protests since late December 2025. The Iranian rial has plummeted to record lows, with inflation exceeding 40%, making basic food items unaffordable for the general population. The transcript highlights the human cost, with human rights groups verifying over 1,850 protester deaths and thousands of arbitrary arrests. 'We are at fault. You are at fault. Do not go after America as the one to blame,' the Iranian President admitted, acknowledging government failings. Beyond internal unrest, the report details a significant US military build-up in West Asia, including the deployment of carrier strike groups and Tomahawk-armed destroyers. As the Trump administration imposes punitive tariffs on Iran's trading partners, including China and India, the region faces the imminent threat of direct military confrontation. The programme explores the fragmented nature of the Iranian opposition and the regime's violent efforts to smother the smouldering fury on the streets of Tehran.

On this India Today special report, correspondent Amit Bharadwaj details the stringent disciplinary action taken by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) against IndiGo. Following massive flight disruptions between 3rd and 5th December 2025, the airline has been ordered to pay a total fine of ₹22.2 crore and pledge a ₹50 crore bank guarantee. Amit Bharadwaj notes, 'The CEO of Indigo, Peter Albers, has been cautioned for the operational disruptions,' while the COO received a formal warning. Furthermore, the DGCA has directed the removal of Jason Herter, Senior VP of Indigo OCC, from all operational responsibilities due to the non-implementation of revised Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) norms. The investigation revealed that aggressive crew rostering to maximise resources led to the chaos that left hundreds of passengers stranded. The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) intends for this to serve as an exemplary action to prevent future operational failures across the Indian aviation sector.
