00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>This is the catch upon three Things by the Indian

2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Express and I'm Ichasharma. Today is the fifth of August

3
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and here at today's headlines. Starting with Major News presenting

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the TVK government's maiden budget, Tamil Nadu Finance Minister NN

00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Mary Wilson outlined an economic vision stretching beyond the government's

6
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>immediate welfare agenda, from India's first dedicated AI and Innovation city,

7
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 1>to a new space industrial corridor, digital governance, modern logistics

8
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 1>infrastructure and an expanded metropolitan Chennai intended to drive the

10
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 1>five trillion economy by twenty thirty six. Unlike traditional industrial

11
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>budgets centered on large capital projects, much of this blueprint

12
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 1>remains at the stage policy design, feasibility studies and institutional reform.

13
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>One of the most ambitious proposals is Arivagum, described as

16
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 1>but the budget currently allocates only five corore for preparing

17
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the feasibility study. In other major news, Mark Zuckerberg has

18
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:35.599

24
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 1>The government has been on the war path and Meta

25
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>has been the target since Facebook briefly blocked a selfie

26

<v Speaker 1>wins video uploaded to Prime Minister Mody's account. In the video,

27
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the PM spoke about Cochro Junta party had brought us

28

<v Speaker 1>national qualifying exams. Meta said then that the video had

67
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:50.680
