## Resource

First, we speak with The Indian Express' Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy about PM Modi's five day Europe visit. He shares the significance of this trip, especially given the geopolitical situation, highlights from the India-Nordic Summit, and how it will impact India's relations with Europe going forward. Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Anjali Marar about a space exploration mission that aims to study how the Earth protects itself from the Sun. She shares what makes Mission SMILE so unique and why studying space weather is becoming increasingly important. (15:42) Lastly, we discuss a Supreme Court order that sheds light on fatal accidents that were caused on the road and what measures are being put in place in Bihar where the number road fatalities in 2025 was as high as 12,669. (23:56) Hosted by Niharika Nanda Produced by Shashank Bhargava, Ichha Sharma, and Niharika Nanda Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
