FULL SHOW: India plans to buy military drones from US

India reportedly plans to buy at least 30 unmanned drones form the US in an effort to bolster its military amid tensions with China and Pakistan. RT America’s Natasha Sweatte reports.

This year’s Quad Summit on Friday, which will be all virtual due to the pandemic, will see US President Biden, Japanese PM Yoshihide Suga, Australian PM Scott Morrison, and Indian PM Narendra Modi will discuss topics ranging from COVID-19 to economic security to climate change. But the main topic of concern is China. As the waters of the Pacific Rim heat up with political tensions, Beijing is labeling the meeting an anti-China summit. Former UK MP George Galloway shares his perspective. 

It’s been a year since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, and since then, more than 530 thousand people have died from the coronavirus here in the US. President Biden is expected to sign the massive $1.9 trillion dollar plan to help Americans still struggling from the pandemic, but it has nevertheless altered life as we knew it. RT America’s John Huddy brings us the story.
