🚨 Terror, Elections & The AI Brain Drain: Delhi Blast, Bihar Votes, and the COP30 Urgency

November 11th, 2025: a chaotic day where local security crises collide with global economic and environmental shifts. We break down the four major stories hitting at once, from the anatomy of a high-impact attack to the high-stakes world of AI talent.

In this episode:

• 
  
• Delhi Terror Attack: Unpacking the I-20 car bomb near the Red Fort, the use of ANFO explosives (which creates a supersonic shockwave), the alleged attacker's unsettling profile, and links to broader terror networks.
• Bihar Elections Phase Two: Why are Magadh, Shimparan, and the 'decider region' Seemanchal so critical? We look at the latest turnout figures and what the 2020 results tell us about the stakes today.
• Global Shifts: The start of COP30 in the Amazon and dire UN warnings about uninhabitable refugee camps by 2050 , plus the economic debate around US-India trade talks and the proposed "$2,000 tariff dividend".
• The AI Brain Drain: High-profile departures like Intel's Head of AI jumping ship to OpenAI and the Cybertruck Chief leaving Tesla—what does this say about the tech landscape?.
• Plus: The triggering of GRAP Stage 3 in Delhi due to 'severe' air quality (AQI > 400), the stunning Nithari Acquittal, and the potential "seismic" governance change for the Tata Trusts.

Don't miss our final thought on the recurring, unsettling gap between a public face and hidden reality in security, technology, and justice.
