00:00Hello and welcome. I'm Sonal Mayrothra Kapoor. This is 5 Live.
00:03On the program today, three stories in focus.
00:05Number one, we start with the story of that dreaded Air India flight from Phuket to Delhi.
00:11It continues to get murkier.
00:14First, we got reports the pilot was high on marijuana.
00:16Now, hydraulic failure is well reported on that Airbus flight.
00:22What exactly happened? Did both happen?
00:25Is there a cover-up by the side of Airbus?
00:28The truth and the details of the story is what we'll get into.
00:32And then the story of what's happening on ground.
00:35The situation of the tunnel collapse in Jamuli.
00:38There is a race to rescue over there.
00:41Nine people are dead.
00:42Twenty rescued.
00:43Three still stuck inside.
00:45We do not know the status.
00:47As the monsoon swells up, the infrastructure continues to feel the pressure.
00:53We've got the latest ground reports coming in from there.
00:55And then the shocking story of a child who went like any other child to his school canteen
01:05to have a very popular snack called the patty.
01:08But he never came back home.
01:10He died there.
01:12How can contaminated food, if at all, that can lead to poisoning, that can lead to, you know,
01:21your condition deteriorating.
01:23But can it lead to death?
01:26What is the truth of the story?
01:28Was medical facilities not provided to him in time?
01:32Who provided that patty?
01:33How was it even allowed in the school?
01:35All of those details is what we will decode on the program.
01:38And talking about food, we've got an important one for you.
01:42India could be just a month away from getting its first ever labeling of the food items.
01:50How you have labeled at the back of the food?
01:53How about labels on the front pack?
01:55Clearly calling it high in fat, high in sugar, high in salt.
01:59Is that a possibility in India?
02:01Well, Supreme Court is now asking FSSAI, why not?
02:07So we thought we'll bring you those updates.
02:08But first up, as always, let me take you through the top headlines on Top of 5.
02:13Big revelation in the Air India for Kidderi turbulence scare.
02:17The initial Airbus finding shows that the aircraft briefly lost control for about four seconds
02:22after all three hydraulic systems lost pressure.
02:26The A320 also registered a full nose-down input, triggering a sudden 300-foot drop in altitude.
02:37An under-construction high-door tunnel collapsed in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district.
02:42Trapping workers after debris and water suddenly flooded the site.
02:46Seven workers have died, 14 were injured, 18 have been rescued.
02:50So far, one remains trapped.
02:51NDRF, FDRF, Army, ITPP, everybody is involved in this rescue operation.
03:01Hours after parliament was adjourned, sign a dime, following a largely disrupted monsoon session,
03:07during which the government and opposition remained locked in confrontation over several issues,
03:12including the 20th July crackdown on students.
03:15India today has spoken with Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiran Rijiju.
03:19And he has rejected allegations of excessive force during the Gen Z protest.
03:28Congress leaders continue to defend Rahul Gandhi and Sandeep Deekshit over their remarks,
03:33mocking Prime Minister Modi's foreign policy in a skit that included a sexist remark involving Italian Prime Minister Jodhia Meloni.
03:42Now, Congress leaders, including Pramot Tiwari, claimed that the remarks were true.
03:47The party has asserted that India was left isolated during Operation Sindhur.
03:52The BJP has stepped up its attack.
03:57Supreme Court has stayed a Madras High Court order striking down government jobs offered to the kin of Karoor Stampede
04:05victims,
04:06defending relief there.
04:09Relief indeed for Vijay, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
04:13The top court has now questioned what was wrong with the state offering employment to families affected by the tragedy.
04:21Karnataka Cabinet has approved a bill to regulate private groups using government premises and public property without legal registration.
04:29The move is likely to affect RSS, Shakhas and activities held at the government schools and public grounds.
04:35The Congress says the bill will protect public assets,
04:39while the BJP calls it a targeted move against RSS.
04:44A big relief for stand-up comedian Sameh Rehna.
04:47The Supreme Court has now closed all FIRs against him
04:52and others over insensitive remarks about persons with disabilities on India's gut latent.
04:57The top court noted their efforts to support the disability community,
05:02calls them very bright youngsters.
05:04The respondents have also expressed willingness to include
05:06persons with SMA in the future of fundraising events.
05:13Talking about Supreme Court,
05:14CJIS Urikanth has come down heavily on the BCI, that's the Bar Council of India,
05:18over its intervention in the Nulsar Enrollment Rao,
05:21saying it has no business of interfering.
05:24He has restrained the BCI and state bar councils from taking punitive or criminal action against students
05:29or faculty of National Law University.
05:32The BCI has earlier, remember, barred the 2026 Nulsar graduates from enrolment, but later had to withdraw that.
05:44Meanwhile, Class 12 student of Jaipur's Maharana Pratap School has died after reportedly eating a patty from the school canteen.
05:52His classmate has alleged that the 17-year-old suddenly collapsed and was kept in the room for nearly an
05:59hour
05:59instead of being rushed to the hospital.
06:00His parents have alleged a delay in medical care and demanded a probe into the canteen and also the school
06:06administration.
06:10And reports suggest that Iranian president will visit New Delhi in September to attend the 18th BRICS summit.
06:17The visit comes amidst heightened tensions in West Asia and growing India-Iran engagement,
06:23with Tehran welcoming the great role of New Delhi in de-escalation efforts.
06:36All right, the news just coming in.
06:38This is regarding the comments made by Sandeep Dixit during the Rahul Gandhi interaction.
06:44After BJP MP Nishika Andube countered with another sexist and problematic jibe,
06:50hinting at the relationship between former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the Cuban dictator Castro.
06:57Congress leader Supriya Shnath has now hit back, claiming that the late leaders saw, you know,
07:05each other as siblings, a relationship not understood by the BJP MP at all.
07:13So, comments from both sides getting extremely foul, if one can call it that.
07:21Rahul Gautam joins us for the very latest on the story.
07:24Rahul, how is Congress responding to this?
07:30Well, you know, we are now seeing that one distasteful remark made by Sandeep Dixit
07:35is, you know, being used in an opportunity by others to make more distasteful remarks.
07:41And as far as Congress is concerned, you know, many of them actually believe that
07:46the comment could have been easily avoided at that point of time.
07:51Although they are trying to differentiate between Sandeep Dixit and Rahul Gandhi saying that
07:55it was remarked that it was Sandeep Dixit alone and Rahul Gandhi should not be dragged into the controversy.
08:01However, obviously, the party has not responded to it officially.
08:06They are at this point of time.
08:08Sandeep Dixit has also not spoken with the media.
08:11So, clearly, Congress party knows that, you know, this particular remark that was made by Sandeep Dixit
08:17has potential to damage Congress party.
08:20And that's why you see, you know, the other remarks that are coming from the other side,
08:24for example, the one made by Mr. Nishikan Dube is now being responded by Congress leaders
08:30who are saying that this has been the habit of the other side to lower the political discourse.
08:36But clearly, you know, Congress leaders are reminding, you know, the other sexist remarks
08:41that were made earlier by BJP leaders.
08:43So, clearly, you know, it's an attempt to show that who has got, you know, bright and whiter shirt than
08:49the other.
08:50But the reality is that we have seen, you know, these remarks coming in from both the sides,
08:54from BJP and from Congress.
08:56At this point of time, Congress is trying to keep it away from Rahul Gandhi
09:00and, you know, in a way trying to create this narrative that it was Sandeep Dixit who made this remark
09:06and Rahul Gandhi should not be dragged into this.
09:09But given the fact that BJP is already going hammer and tongs,
09:13they are saying that Rahul Gandhi was very much present over there.
09:17He could have, you know, corrected Sandeep Dixit or rebuked him, but he didn't do so.
09:22So, clearly, you know, it's an attempt from both the sides to show that the other side is anti-woman
09:27or carries petty mindset against women.
09:30But one thing is very important to underline here that, you know, many in Congress that I spoke with,
09:36they believe that it was not wise on the part of Sandeep Dixit to drag the female prime minister
09:42and it could have been easily avoided at that juncture.
09:45Could have been easily avoided and that can be said for both the Congress and the BJP at this point.
09:49Completely avoidable, you know, comments to be made, especially not, you know,
09:54not just in public forums but perhaps in mentality as well.
09:57But we'll move on from the story for now to bring you news that really you should care about.
10:02Now, the Air India AI-2379 incident is now turning out to be far more serious than a routine turbulence
10:11encounter.
10:12Now, let's understand the timeline over here.
10:14On August 4th, an Airbus A320 was flying from Phuket to Delhi.
10:18It had 137 passengers on board, including three infants and eight crew members.
10:23Now, mid-cruise, the aircraft suddenly lost 300 feet in altitude.
10:28Suddenly.
10:29The plane stabilized and landed safely in Delhi, but not before 24 people were injured.
10:37Some quite seriously.
10:39What was first described as a turbulence encounter is now being looked at something far more technical.
10:46Airbus has done an initial analysis of the flight data recorder
10:49and it shows that aircraft lost all three hydraulic systems within seconds of each other
10:55that knocked out the elevators and the irons there
11:00and the very surfaces that control pitch and roll for close to four seconds.
11:06In that window of four seconds, the first officer pushed the nose down,
11:13noting all of this.
11:16Now, we are told nothing really happened.
11:18The control simply did not respond.
11:20And then, just as suddenly, the hydraulics came back and the aircraft recovered.
11:27Now, Airbus has now asked Air India to run checks on the hydraulic system,
11:31the pressure sensors and the wiring.
11:33It has also asked for the aircraft to be inspected for structural damage
11:37because the forces there during the drop went beyond specific limits as well.
11:42But, I'm sure you are as confused about the story as I am
11:46because at this point, remember what happened with the pilot?
11:50That changes the story completely.
11:53The pilot, who was in command, he failed a dope test, not one but twice.
11:59The screening came back non-negative, it was sent for a confirmatory testing
12:02and that also came positive for marijuana.
12:05He was high.
12:07So, this investigation is no longer just about hydraulic failure, remember.
12:12There are two questions running side by side now.
12:18What caused the aircraft to lose control for those four seconds
12:22and whether the pilot's condition in the cockpit had any bearing on what happened that day?
12:28Remember, the aircraft did land safely.
12:30But, what happened in those seconds and who was at the controls when it happened
12:36is now something investigators are treating very seriously.
12:43Nobody should get up.
12:45Fasten your seatbelt.
12:48Seven seconds.
12:50That is how quickly a routine flight turned into a terrifying emergency
12:54on Air India, Phuket, Delhi flight AI-2379 on August 4th.
13:02The critical sequence began just before 9 hours, 32 minutes, 44 seconds, ISG.
13:09According to Airbus's initial flight data recorder analysis,
13:13the aircraft first recorded a loss of the green hydraulic system
13:17and this was followed by failures affecting critical flight control surfaces.
13:21The green system was designed to be backed up by the blue and yellow hydraulic systems.
13:27But within roughly a second, both also malfunctioned.
13:31The result?
13:32The aircraft temporarily lost the hydraulic power needed for several important flight control functions.
13:38Elevators, aileron, which is key to wing control, spoilers, all three became affected.
13:45For around four seconds, the aircraft had a total loss of aileron and spoiler control.
13:52That meant a potentially severe degradation in the pilot's ability
13:57to control the aircraft's movement and direction.
14:00And then came another critical development.
14:05Airbus says the flight recorder data shows a full nose-down input from the first officer's side.
14:12In simple terms, a command was being applied to push the aircraft's nose downward.
14:18But initially, there was no direct response from the flight controls.
14:22The controls were simply not responding as expected.
14:26That is the moment that makes the incident particularly serious.
14:30The aircraft had lost altitude.
14:33Its hydraulic systems had failed and critical flight control surfaces were temporarily unavailable.
14:39The crew was fighting to regain control while the aircraft systems were recovering.
14:44Then came the turning point.
14:46At around 9 hours 32 minutes 51 seconds IST, according to Airbus's analysis,
14:52green, blue and yellow hydraulic systems recovered on their own.
14:56The flight controls became responding again.
14:58The aircraft regained its control capability.
15:02And what could have become a far more serious accident was brought under control.
15:08But Airbus is not treating the matter as a routine turbulence event.
15:12The aircraft manufacturer has now asked Air India to carry out a detailed inspection of the aircraft involved.
15:19That includes multiple tests of the hydraulic system, checks of the automatic flight control system,
15:25an assessment of the aircraft's structural integrity,
15:29and details of all hydraulic systems maintained carried out during the previous month.
15:35Airbus has also asked Air India to share the results of these tests.
15:39And the manufacturer has warned that additional inspections may be required depending on what those tests should reveal.
15:48For Air India, this is now more than a turbulence episode.
15:52It is a critical flight control event demanding answers.
15:55Seven seconds, three hydraulic systems, four seconds of degraded control,
16:01and a 300-foot altitude drop.
16:04The final cause is still under investigation.
16:06But the Airbus findings have already changed the story from turbulence to a serious aviation safety investigation.
16:15With Amit Bharadwaj in Delhi, Bureau Report, India Today.
16:21All right, curious case indeed.
16:24Let me bring in perspectives now.
16:26Joining me next is Amit Bharadwaj, who reports on aviation for us and has been tracking the story.
16:30Also with us today is Captain Saurav Bhatnagar.
16:33He's a senior commander, Airbus A3.
16:3620 over there, former Indigo Air India Express pilot as well.
16:39Amit, let me come to you first.
16:40So both are true.
16:44Two things we do know for sure.
16:47One, that the pilot was high on marijuana.
16:50And second, that the hydraulic failure happened.
16:52Help me understand the sequence here.
16:56Was there a hydraulic failure which could not be controlled by a pilot who was high?
17:02Or was it a pilot who was high who could have, in some capacity, mismanaged the hydraulic failure?
17:40Two different stories from here.
17:42It is very important to note that even the expert that we have, in Airbus A320 NEO, hydraulic failures, something
17:53which could be clearly claimed rare of the rarest.
17:58That did not happen on Airbus NEO.
18:00So, I mean, many of the pilots that I spoke to, they said that we haven't heard of it, number
18:05one.
18:05Number two, within difference of two seconds, you have hydraulic systems first, you know, which has a lot many important
18:13systems, aircraft systems attached to it, supposed to function properly through that particular channel.
18:20That fails, the backup channel also fails, and all through hydraulic failures had happened within a span of two seconds.
18:28So, there was very little time left for the pilot to be acting.
18:32And what we can now clearly say, at least, is that the first officer did make attempts and actions to
18:40recover the flight which was going upwards.
18:42So, initially, the story was whether this flight was dropping, you know, the nose dive was the real concern.
18:48But now the story is becoming a little more clear that because of these system failures and important components of
18:58the aircraft not working for four seconds, it recovered eventually after seven seconds.
19:04So, we can say that the attempts made by the pilot and the sheer luck that Airbus's system started responding
19:14within seven seconds, a major disaster, I would say, disaster was averted, number one.
19:20Number two, the autopilot was disconnected.
19:23That's what the Airbus's initial assessment is saying.
19:25So, this is also indicating towards the attempts made by the first officer.
19:31Now, the question is whether it was the first officer who was pilot flying for the day.
19:36Because you would remember, Sonal, I have been speaking about this, that we do not know as to who was
19:42the pilot flying and who was the pilot monitoring for the day.
19:45The PIC has tested positive for marijuana.
19:48The DOPE test has, it is the PIC whose DOPE test samples have come positive for marijuana.
19:54But was he even pilot flying that day?
19:58That is a question.
19:59And now, in the given circumstances, it is at least clear that the first officer had the control of the,
20:05had control and communications in his hand when this particular incident happened.
20:10Because he is the one who, in the initial assessment, can be seen making those attempts to recover the entire
20:18craft system and eventually the luck also being on his side.
20:22Back to you.
20:23Got it.
20:23Amit, important, you know, clarifications over there.
20:26Let me take those to Captain Saurabh Bhatnagar, who's joining us.
20:29Captain Bhatnagar, when you look at an incident like this, and Amit is right, it's one of the rarest of
20:34the rare case, but also one of the most confusing cases.
20:37You have both things which have tested positive.
20:39One, the pilot being high on marijuana, and then also what is very clear is that the hydraulics did fail.
20:46Looking at what you have in front of you, not going into theories at the moment, what do you think
20:51could have gone wrong here?
20:53Hi, good evening.
20:54First of all, I will request all the media channels to please do not link these two, you know, these
21:00two questions.
21:01Pilot being high on marijuana and the control.
21:03It's totally different.
21:05The PIC was not at the control.
21:07The first officer was at the control.
21:09That's number one.
21:10Number two, we all have read the Airbus Engineering Report and the Flight Data Decoder.
21:15Now, the Airbus has confirmed that for the four seconds, the aircraft experienced a complete uncommanded loss of surface control.
21:22It is not driven simultaneously by any kind of fluid leak or any kind of, you know, a cavitation in
21:29the hydraulic pipelines, thereby, you know, putting all the systems at, you know, failed state.
21:34It is rarest of the area, rarest, and it is statistically nearly impossible.
21:39In my 10 years of flying Airbus 320 and 5,000 hours of, you know, command, I have never seen
21:44and nobody would have seen.
21:45What I could think could have gone wrong is something called an automation physics trap, we call it.
21:51Something is the voltage drop.
21:53Now, you see, just give me one minute or I'll explain to you and the viewers and things will be
21:57amply clear what could have gone wrong.
21:59Now, every hydraulic system has got a two pressure switch and one transmission.
22:02The pressure switch senses the pressure and senses, closes the signal because of the spring tension and the current 20
22:10volt DC goes to a junction box and to the flight control computer.
22:16There are seven of them, two for the elevator and the two relax, we call it, the three secs and
22:21the four, three, you know, the FSCs.
22:24So, now this current, current goes to the computer.
22:27Now, computer senses that, yes, everything is fine, current is flowing, that miss pressure is more than 1,450 PSI.
22:34And then it commands whatever the pilot gives the command and sends the signals to the motors which are there
22:39in the control services called the actuators.
22:42And for them, they're called servo controls.
22:44So, then the motors move and then they move the surface.
22:46Everything is fine.
22:47Now, what happens is any kind of voltage glitch or any kind of voltage spike or any kind of, you
22:54know, wiring problem, this 28 volt DC, which everything is fine, will go to the junction.
23:00And from there, if there is a current break, it will not go to the ELAC or the computer.
23:06The computer senses only one thing, current hai, current nahi hai.
23:09Current is there or current is not there.
23:11If the current is not there, whatever could be the reason, either a pressure loss because of the cavitation, which
23:17is highly, highly not possible.
23:19In all three pipelines, there is an air bubble, not possible.
23:23Number two is, is there any leak?
23:25No, there was no leak.
23:27What could be the third thing?
23:28Is the current which is not going?
23:30So, the computer doesn't know.
23:32What is the computer?
23:32Just senses one thing.
23:34Current is there, current is not there.
23:35If there is no current, computer tells all these systems, servo, the actuator, servo control, withdraw the pressure to safeguard
23:43the control surfaces and to overstress the aircraft.
23:46The pressure is immediately dropped from all these actuators.
23:48Now, what happens thereafter?
23:50The elevators, the ailerons, they are under, in the damping state.
23:55They are free to move.
23:56The ailerons are the bigger ones on the wing.
23:59They immediately, what could have gone wrong?
24:01They could have immediately came up like a spoiler.
24:03And now, because of this, the lift on the back of this, you know, ailerons drop, the lift on the
24:08front, and the wing increase, the aerodynamic center move forward, and there is a pitch-up movement.
24:13There is a massive couple.
24:15There is a nose pitch-up.
24:16Now, the nose pitch-up happens.
24:18The pilot, the first of us, who was on the control, immediately responded by putting the nose down.
24:22So, he moved this outstreet fully forward.
24:25Now, nothing is happening because the computer is not responding for four seconds.
24:28No control is going to the actuators to move the surfaces.
24:32The elevators doesn't move much because they are very small because the ailerons move fast, you know, higher up.
24:39After four seconds, when the system resets or the resetting could have taken place, suddenly the computer would have realized,
24:46oh, shit, the pilot has given me a nose down movement.
24:49He immediately sent the commands to the actuator, which are ready with the pressure.
24:53They gave the pressure, and there we have a 300 massive drop.
24:57And the negative G, and everybody was pulling inside.
25:00This was...
25:01No, that's a detailed analysis, sir.
25:02But very quickly, I want to understand from you.
25:04I get that.
25:05I get that.
25:06You've put into perspective both the things which is good over here.
25:10Is there no way or a protocol which checks this before a flight takes off?
25:20No, everything is fine.
25:21It's an electrical fault.
25:23It's a transient fault which the Airbus has to see.
25:25If this is in the junction box, which calls it, there's a 50VU, there's a special where all the pressure
25:30switches are housed.
25:31So, current goes simultaneously to everyone.
25:33That is why within one second everything filled.
25:36So, the Airbus, if there is a fault, the Airbus has to...
25:37Is there a possibility that this was an older flight?
25:41Older aircraft?
25:42No, that is...
25:43That's an investigation.
25:44What exactly gone wrong?
25:45Whether it was a pin fault or whether it is the rusting or whether it is something that the Airbus
25:49has to issue in a direct to all Airbus operators across the world.
25:52Because this is a serious issue.
25:54This is a serious issue because these four seconds of loss of control, the pilot was helpless because nothing is
25:59moving.
26:00It's a fully fly-by-wire aircraft.
26:02All right, the pilot was helpless.
26:04The one who was high was not the one in control anyway.
26:08Please do not link this tool.
26:10Yeah, got that.
26:11Do not link.
26:11Airbus has to really come out and answer all these things as well.
26:14But no matter what you're saying, it is indeed concerning that the pilot was high on marijuana.
26:18Even if he might not be the one behind the controls at that point, it is still concerning.
26:22But both these stories, like I said, not the last we've heard on this story, but a real concerning one.
26:27All those taking flights tonight are wondering how to avoid it in the future.
26:31Thanks so much for joining us.
26:36From turbulence all the way to monsoon now.
26:39The monsoon is once again putting India's infrastructure under immense pressure.
26:43From roads to bridges and even tunnels, who are now caving in.
26:49Tunnels carved through the mountains.
26:51Relentless rain turning critical infrastructure into danger zones.
26:55In Chamoli, what happened?
26:56A tunnel under construction collapsed, killing seven people and triggering a frantic rescue operation.
27:02More than 20 workers have been rescued, while three workers are still missing.
27:06The collapse triggered a massive rescue operation, with teams working through layers of debris,
27:12clearing the passage and pumping out accumulated water to reach those still inside.
27:18Now, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhammy also visited the collapse site and the hospital,
27:23taking stock of the situation.
27:24But beyond the numbers, there is a human story of those who were inside the tunnel.
27:30Workers caught in darkness, surrounded by debris, water and rescuers,
27:35racing against time to bring them out.
27:38Listen in to some of the harrowing accounts of those who lived to tell the story.
27:47The last ruin of the river, which was suddenly from galera to allow us to come to a neurotransmitter.

36:37Now the questions are mounting
36:39Was the canteen food contaminated?
36:41Was there negligence in the emergency response?
36:45Police have registered a case based on the family's allegations and seized the CCTV footage.
37:03The
37:10probe will go on.
37:12But for Prince's family, the wait for answers comes with a pain that may never end.
37:18Their only son went to school that morning and never came home.
37:23With Charat Kumar, Bureau Report, India Today.
37:31Now in this particular story as well, there's clearly more than what meets the eye.
37:35We have heard of students getting a stomach infection or, you know, collapsing because of a severe hit or, you
37:43know, getting developing serious health issues
37:46because of contaminated food.
37:48But it has to be seriously poisonous.
37:50It has to have a real heart substance in it for it to completely lead to collapse of the child.
37:57So what exactly happened?
37:59Is it true what the parents are alleging at this point?
38:02That it was not just the food, which in itself should not have been the case, but actually the delay
38:09in the response of the school to get him to the hospital that led to his death.
38:15Either way, this is a serious, serious story.
38:18Are schools not prepared to handle crisis like this?
38:22Were teachers not prepared to or had the right mind to take him directly to the hospital?
38:29And importantly, why is such contaminated food really being served in schools all around at a time when there is
38:38a lens on food safety across the country?
38:40From Maharashtra to Karnataka, from Pizza Hut to Blinkit and Zepto, even Taco Bell and other outlets are getting under
38:50the scanner for not doing their due diligence.
38:53How are school canteens not doing their bit as well?
38:58How is food being allowed to served in this manner?
39:01So two questions really that one has to look at.
39:03If you are a parent looking at the story concerned, as much as I am, that in a school something
39:08like this can happen, these are both the questions to consider.
39:12But let me cut across to Sharath now joining us for more details on this.
39:15Sharath, we had heard of a bad food.
39:20We had heard of a bad food.
39:21But this is very peculiar.
39:25Is it possible that this is possible?
39:27This school has been delayed to take the children to the hospital.
39:31This has been established.
39:32It's a poisonous tree.
39:32But it was the same species that he has eaten, the depth of testing.
39:37Is it possible that this young man did not need any soups?
39:46What was the lack of food in the hospital of Hungary?
39:54This is the source of food and food.
39:58Yes.
40:28Thank you very much.
40:51Thank you very much.
47:59will this L,
47:59be brave enough?
48:01Can authorities prioritize health enoughleagram
48:05us front pack of the label? That's
48:08something we are waiting to watch two weeks ago.
48:11we'll keep an eye on that story.
48:17The internet says that vegetarians
48:20are automatically less inflamed.
48:24Wrong.
48:25Because most vegetarians
48:27have vitamin B12 deficiency
48:29and their homocysteine spikes.
48:31Because homocysteine is a potent
48:33inflammatory mediator.
48:34So you become sattvic and eat only vegan food
48:37doesn't mean your body is not inflamed.
48:41So you have a vegetarian diet
48:43and if your B12 levels are low,
48:45if your homocysteine has spiked,
48:47it is a potent inflammatory mediator.
48:50If you are a vegetarian,
48:51always make sure you check your B12 levels
48:54and your homocysteine levels.
48:55Because homocysteine can cause heart attacks in vegetarians.
48:58Good lord, I didn't know that.
