PM flags off new metro links in Kolkata, Top court modifies stray dogs ruling, more

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated three new metro links in Kolkata, a significant infrastructure development for the city.  The event was marked by the absence of the West Bengal Chief Minister, who cited pending central funds, leading to a credit war on social media over the project. While the Supreme Court issued a pan-India verdict on stray dogs, modifying an earlier directive. Sterilised and immunised dogs can now be returned to their areas, but feeding is restricted to designated zones. 

The show also explores a scientific development from China: the world's first pregnancy robot, a humanoid designed to carry a fetus in an artificial womb, with a prototype expected by 2026. This development has sparked legal and ethical debates on the future of fertility. Additionally, the FBI search of former US National Security Advisor John Bolton's residence over alleged possession of classified documents is covered. The programme also includes actor Amitabh Bachchan's personal reflection on the challenges of ageing.
