Hantavirus concerns, breaking barriers in sailing, and AI defence systems

First, we talk to The Indian Express' Anonna Dutt about Hantavirus and how it caused the deaths of three people on a cruise travelling from Argentina to Spain. The virus was contracted by a few more passengers onboard. Anonna talks about the virus, its symptoms and how serious the situation was on the cruise. Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Shivani Naik about two teenage girls from Telangana who will represent India in sailing at the Asian Games. While sailing is mostly seen as an elite sport, it is interesting how an initiative in Hyderabad is introducing the sport to children from underprivileged backgrounds. (11:54) Lastly, we talk about the Indian defence establishment feeling a need for domestically-made artificial intelligence systems. (23:11) Hosted by Niharika Nanda Produced by Shashank Bhargava, Niharika Nanda, and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
