Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Amitabh Sinha about Europe’s latest heatwave, why scientists say climate change is making such extreme temperatures more likely, and how a new attribution study helps establish that link. (11:30) And in the end, we look at an East Delhi property fraud case involving forged identities, shell companies and ₹18 crore in fraudulent loans, a scam that took investigators more than a decade to piece together. (21:15) Hosted by Ichha Sharma Produced and written by Shashank Bhargava, Niharika Nanda and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar","meta_description":"First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Nihal Koshie about Indian athletics’ remarkable run of performances, with more than 20 national records broken in j…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1445,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/3-things-69930/episodes/20-national-records-in-90-days-europe-s-deadly-heatwave-and-a-18-cr-fraud/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/3-things-69930/20-national-records-in-90-days-europe-s-deadly-heatwave-and-a-18-cr-fraud.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
