00:00the big news coming in is with regard to the donald trump tariff you will not believe what
00:22donald trump has now replied to china on one side he's put a 90 day pause on the
00:29reciprocal tariff for about 75 countries so he's decided to give relief especially to countries
00:34that have been approaching but for china he's hiked the tariff for 125 percent so initially
00:43remember it was about 34 percent but added with other tariffs it became with a 20 percent tax on
00:50the fentanyl and other issues he then because china retaliated said that we are going to impose
00:57a tariff he said okay i'll impose 50 percent then because of more retaliation and confrontation it
01:03went to over 100 percent now a 125 percent tariff will be placed on chinese imported goods into the
01:13united states of america remember what this means these are the two big world economies right now
01:18let's listen in to trump well i thought that people were uh jumping a little bit out of line
01:26they were getting yippy you know they were getting a little bit yippy a little bit afraid unlike these
01:32champions because we have a big job to do no other president would have done what i did and if you
01:38didn't do it you wouldn't have a country it wouldn't be sustainable so i'm honored to have done it i did a
01:4390 day pause for the people that didn't retaliate because i told them if you retaliate we're going
01:48to double it and that's what i did with china because they did retaliate so uh we'll see how it
01:54all works out i think it's going to work out amazing i think that our country is going to be
01:57at the end of a year or shorter but i think we're going to have something that nobody would have dreamt
02:03possible well i thought that people were uh jumping a little bit out of line they were getting
02:09yippy you know they were getting a little bit yippy a little bit afraid unlike these champions
02:14because we have a big job to do no other president would have done what i did no other president i know
02:20the presidents they wouldn't have done it and it had to be done what was happening to us on trade
02:25not only with you know if you look at it not only with china but china was by far the biggest abuser in
02:32history and uh others also but uh somebody had to do it they had to stop because it was not
02:38sustainable there's no other president would have done what i did no other president i know
02:42the presidents they wouldn't have done it and it had to be done what was happening to us on trade
02:47not only with you know if you look at it not only with china but china was by far the biggest abuser in
02:54history and uh others also but uh somebody had to do it they had to stop because it was not sustainable
03:01last year china made uh one trillion dollars off trade with the united states that's not
03:07right and now i've reversed it you have to have flexibility uh i could say here's a wall and i'm
03:15going to go through that wall i'm going to go through it no matter what and keep going and you
03:20can't go through the wall sometimes you have to be able to go under the wall around the wall or over
03:24the wall i think in financial markets because they change look how much it changed today we went from
03:30uh you know pretty moderate today but over the last few days it looked pretty glum
03:36to i guess they say it was the biggest day in financial history that's a pretty big change
03:42deal could be made with every one of them deal a deal is going to be made with china a deal is going
03:48to be made with every one of them and they'll be fair deals i just want fair uh they will be fair
03:54deals for everybody but they weren't fair to the united states they were sucking us dry and
04:00you can't do that you know we have 36 trillion dollars of debt for a reason we don't have it there
04:07for fun they have it for a reason and people took advantage of our country and they ripped us off for
04:14very for decades i've been thinking about this for decades i've been so relief a pause temporary
04:20for 75 countries but for china a higher tariff of 125 percent india today's managing editor god of
04:28sawan joining me this morning on the first stop god of good morning you tell me how do you see this
04:32what do you think this really means what is trump's strategy that he refuses to back down on china
04:38and continues to counter it with a higher tariff hey puja morning in fact the white house has just
04:46made a statement saying uh donald trump has a backbone made of steel uh and he will not buckle he will
04:53not crumble and he wants respect uh is what donald trump himself has said what is he said
04:59based on the lack of respect that china has shown to the world market i'm hereby raising the tariff
05:06charge to china by the u.s uh to 125 percent effective immediately so what is he doing
05:14it's basically a game of blinkmanship who will blink first uh china refuses to blink as does the united
05:21states but look at the clever strategy uh that donald trump is adopting he's put a 90-day pause on
05:26across the world uh you know look at how india handles this differently india did not impose
05:32tariffs uh counter tariffs or reciprocal tariffs of the united states prime minister narendra modi was
05:37for amongst the first of the bloc he went to the united states engaged with president trump now uh
05:43the india and the united states are working on a bilateral trade agreement so there's a 90-day pause
05:48and this helps markets recover as they did but look at what countries like japan according to american
05:53reports are doing uh they started selling of bonds and that's a huge uh you know countermeasure being
05:59taken and a very strong message that goes out to donald trump so he's also very aptly and quickly
06:06changing his strategy uh with the rest of the world but then he realizes china is not ultimately a
06:12competitor but china wants to be world number one and donald trump wants to ensure america stays world
06:18number one so in this fight between one and two uh while the world of course does feel the impact
06:24but uh he's not backing down neither is china that war will continue but this 90-day pause as he said
06:31world leaders are rushing uh to to washington dc to have a bilateral trade agreement can they quickly
06:37fix it and how soon can they fix it in 90 days or will there be another 90-day extension with the rest
06:42of the world all of these uh you know balls are up uh in the air right now but uh you know he's also
06:48seeing reaction of markets market plunging in the red and taking corrective measures so a lot a lot
06:54happening across the world right now puja got a very interesting keep tracking the latest this is
06:58unprecedented situation remember india is presently in talks with regard to the u.s trade agreement
07:03constant negotiations are on so we'll see how this goes for india but for now a respite for 75
07:09countries but no relief at all in fact a higher tariff against china
07:14so in case uh you missed it through the night here's what has happened u.s president donald trump
07:21on one side officially temporarily pausing the reciprocal tariff for 90 days this comes just 24
07:27hours 24 hours after it came into effect sparking a fear that there could be a major global trade war
07:32and a global market meltdown and then a concern of a looming global recession he took to truth social
07:39it's a social media platform u.s president says 75 countries did not retaliate against the usa
07:45therefore he's authorizing a 90 day pause but 10 percent baseline tariff will continue to save for at
07:51least 90 days then in another post he says a steep hike in tariff on china to 125 percent remember it was
08:00104 percent earlier so that move he says is because of the retaliation from beijing he's lashing out
08:07to china he's hopeful that in near future china will realize that they cannot rip off america anymore
08:12no it's because it's going to because of the large number of inbounds we've had more than 75 countries
08:21contact us and i imagine after today there will be more so it is just a processing problem each one of
08:28each one of these solutions is going to be bespoke it is going to take some time and president trump
08:35wants to be personally involved so that's why we're getting the 90 day pause again president trump
08:41created maximum negotiating leverage for himself and the which terrorists went into effect 15 hours ago
08:47the the ones that we have lowered went into effect a week ago they are they were announced a week ago
08:54and we have just been overwhelmed overwhelmed by the response from mostly our allies who want to come
09:02and negotiate in good faith so we are expecting them to come with their best deal as i said a week ago
09:09today don't retaliate hold your ground let's see what happens and china they kept escalating and
09:17escalating and now they have 125 percent tariffs that will be effective immediately many of you in the
09:23media clearly missed the art of the deal you clearly failed to see what president trump is doing here
09:30you you tried to say that the rest of the world would be moved closer to china when in fact we've
09:35seen the opposite effect the entire world is calling the united states of america not china because they
09:40need our markets they need our consumers and they need this president in the oval office to talk to
09:45them and that's exactly why more than 75 countries have called because the united states of america is the
09:50best place in the world to do business and as the president has shown great courage as the secretary
09:55have said and choosing to retaliate against china even higher
09:58tahavr rana likely will be lodged in the tihar jail in delhi after he lands in india according to
10:11information coming in the 26 11 mumbai terror attack case accused tahavr hussein rana who's being
10:16extradited from the usa remember he's been now put on a flight he's en route india he's likely to be
10:24lodged in the high security ward prisons have been prepared both in delhi and mumbai depending on the
10:29protocol and procedure for the moment he lands in india he'll be officially immediately arrested
10:34and i is uh supervising all the necessary preparations uh also preps have been made by
10:40the prison authorities because as a high profile prisoner there will have to be fort orders every
10:46time you think about tahavr hussein rana remember that this pakistani military doctor now a canadian
10:53citizen did reiki in mumbai he orchestrated he knew what he was there for in mumbai staying at
11:00the taj he did a reiki knowing that innocent people are set to be murdered by his hateful
11:07devious radical jihadist ideology and sadly it did manage to organize that my colleague shivani
11:14sharma is tracking all the latest on that shivani all eyes will be on when tahavr hussein rana lands in
11:19india what are you picking up as information i'm pretty sure agencies will be uh following full-on
11:25security protocol and you tell me shivani what does this moment mean for india especially the
11:31government the manner in which the legal process was followed
11:34puja this is a big success for india after long years of persuasion and extradition demands from
11:45united states now the day has come when tabu rana the key conspire of the 26 11 attacks where 166
11:52people lost their lives in mumbai is going to be in india very soon what we are told that he is
11:58already on board the flight and he might land in india today afternoon and all preparations have been
12:05done as soon as he will be landing he will be produced in a special nia court where nia would take
12:12him into custody the preparations are all already on pudra to lodge him in the tihar jail and all the
12:19documents for the trial have already been shifted they are being uh shifted back to delhi because you
12:25know these cases were going on there multiple cases that were going on in mumbai also and the patiala
12:31house court has prepared for this trial and meanwhile what we are also learning is that around the airport
12:38when he will be landing there is special arrangement of security multi-led security is there you know
12:44because that the hubrana is being accompanied by officials from the home ministry to the police
12:51officials too so there's going to be a proper protocol that needs to be followed as suggested by the united
12:58states agencies also as he's being extradited from us so we need to follow all those protocols and the
13:04nature of this high profile high sensitive case all the preparations have been done pudra the approvals
13:12have been given to the nia from the law ministry to uh take this trial forward in delhi this approval
13:18was given yesterday so it's going to be a big day uh long awaited uh arrival ex extradition of uh what a
13:27moment you're right what a moment because i am thinking right now the constant efforts india has made
13:32remember india did not in turn kill innocent people in pakistan it went with regard to ensuring the
13:39accused the mastermind however will be nabbed and will not be spared the latest coming in shivani stay
13:45on with me the national investigation agency getting center's approval for rana's trial in delhi so it
13:51will be the nia that will be supervising this whole case according to our sources law ministry has allowed
13:57rana's trial in the national capital so delhi is where all the heightened activity will be not in
14:02mumbai what does this mean this will be a full-on team of senior cops associated with the nia and
14:08otherwise uh two ig rank of officials one dig one superintendent of police will be working with
14:16the nia legal team as well because it's not just about getting in here it's also about the case to
14:21ensure that just like we through kasab exposed pakistan the same is done through tahavur rana
14:28delhi police swat team will ensure security for the nia personnel as well so special alert of course
14:34a special cell will be focusing on all the alerts here in just a short while remember in the next few
14:39hours we are expecting tahavur rana to land in delhi our teams will be on the ground shivani continues to
14:46be with us so shivani nia team likely that was supervising on american soil also now will be here
14:52to ensure he lands and then gets to face the law
15:00puja tabu rana is being accompanied by the team of indian officers who were there in united states
15:06for the process completion of his extradition and soon they'll be landing in india as you were
15:12mentioning and the sources have also indicated that the law ministry has already approved the trial
15:18to conduct it in delhi by the nia the documents are being sought by nia from different courts wherever
15:27these cases are going on and today being a holiday in the court it's what's the the sources are also
15:34indicating that as soon as rana reaches here he will be produced before a special court and it might
15:39happen virtually puja so this is going to be important because there is multi-layered security
15:46that has been put in place all preparations have been done by the agencies in india the home ministry
15:52has been closely watching the extradition process and this was a big victory for india because since
15:582019 india has been trying the extradition of the burana to expose more about how he planned he
16:05conspired this particular attack how he helped his friend edly uh in the recce and how he provided all
16:11the documents and the uh the major part of this conspiracy is still uh to be unfolded in this
16:18investigation poudra so when tabu rana is here the agencies will make sure that the whole nexus of this
16:26terror supporting group and especially the pakistani terrorists who have been uh trying to push inside
16:34india and who are responsible for uh the uh loss of lives in india they are put to justice this is
16:41the ni dossier that's that's absolutely incredible with the details that comes in and the kind of kind
16:47of planning that this man did with david coleman headley and then managed to get kassab and the team
16:55it's it just reminds you the kind of radicalized minds these were shivani keep tracking all the latest
17:00on this because the day has arrived the plotter of 26 11 mumbai terror attacks and i would always
17:07call it a massacre of innocent people this man is being extradited by the usa remember this is the
17:14usa deciding after the trial went there the case was heard there as well they rejected the plea because
17:21they realize he cannot stay anymore in the usa he needs to be extradited to india and therefore last
17:26evening he was put on a flight and he'll be brought now to india once rana lands in delhi he will
17:32officially be arrested by the nia later he'll undergo a trial at the special nia code sources
17:37say tahavur hussein rana could be produced virtually before the special nia judge that is because of the
17:41security reasons all preparations of his stay are being maintained as well uh especially with regard to
17:47the arrival union home minister amitra asserting that tahavur rana's extradition is a major diplomatic
17:52victory of the narendra modi led government so let's listen in to all the neetha's reaction but
17:57remember this this is india ensuring that it may have taken 17 years but if you kill our countrymen
18:04we will ensure that you face the law i think this is a major development and it establishes
18:13a yardstick of sorts uh tahavur rana has been an isi agent for a long time and they were one of their
18:22key facilitators uh in the american or in north america whether it is canada or the united states
18:29he in fact facilitated the travels of david coleman hadley when he came to ricky the targets for the
18:37uh 2008 attack uh he arranged his travel plans his visas everything everything so he's a key person
18:47he's a key person who was involved in the conspiracy uh in the for the attack
18:52uh
19:00uh
19:35Listen in now to India Today's Rahul Kaval speaking to former NI Director General Y.C. Modi, ahead of Tahour Rana's landing in Delhi and what this moment means, how will this progress?
19:46How significant do you think, you know, as Mr. Singh mentioned, the last big fish we got back was Abu Saleem from Portugal and after that we're getting Rana, how do they compare?
19:59I think you should go in the background of formation of NIE.
20:04NIE was established after Mumbai attack, and it was a matter of prestige for us to get this man to India.
20:20You, in this regard, in complete coordination with Ministry of External Affairs, with our political agency as well, we could, external affairs, we could achieve this because of, we made it a point.
20:37In fact, in my meetings with my officers, I used to discuss this case very regularly, and we answered hundreds of queries of U.S. government.
20:48I don't know whether you are aware, because in extradition proceedings, NIE cannot appear, or Government of India cannot appear.
20:57It is the U.S. prosecution authorities, they appear in the court.
21:01So, we had to first convince the U.S. agencies about the evidence, adequacy of evidence, and quality of evidence, as well as that, to convince them that it is a matter of terrorism, and there are other cases of terrorism also pending for extradition.
21:24But, in this case, because of coordination at different levels, we could convince the U.S. authority...
21:31No, sir, AP Singh called him a mastermind of the 2611 attacks.
21:35Is he an important field operative involved in the conspiracy, or would you also consider him a mastermind?
21:41As people try and recall what happened to them, try and focus on Rana's role, how significant a catch do you think this is, Mr. Modi?
21:48No, no, it's a very significant catch. And he is one of the two masterminds. He was the person who initiated this conspiracy that an immigration consultancy office can be set up in Mumbai, and in the garb of that consultancy office, they can make visits to different places in the country,
22:13and target the locations, and provide that effective information to their bosses in Pakistan, so that this heinous offense, this big terrorist crime could be committed.
22:25So, his role is very important. And another important thing is, Headley has become a prover, and he has thrown this man under the bus that way, and now we expect that he will tell us the truth when our people will interrogate him.
22:45When it comes to China, 125% tariff being imposed by America for the Chinese goods to come into the USA.
22:54China's currency has hit an 18-year low amid the trade war. Remember, as markets continue to open, and we'll know about Indian markets also in a short while,
23:02Yuan crash markets rally. We are told currency has hit about 18-year low, and plunging, stocks are surging though.
23:12Chinese yuan has fallen to the lowest level in 18 years. I'm talking about since 2007.
23:18The offshore yuan has slid to the weakest level. Also, the PBOC weakening its reference rate for the sixth trade day.
23:25Chinese stocks are surging at the open right now. Hang Seng Indian says index plus 3.1%.
23:32So, there are more, of course, technical details that are coming in on this.
23:35I want to bring in Karishma Asudhani here. Karishma, China may be all defiant and confrontational and say,
23:42we'll get back at you. You are a bully, you blackmail. But they also need to take care of their own currency, their stock markets too.
23:52Pooja, well, currency is one such economic indicator that is highly influenced by how the global economy works.
24:00And the fact that there is a tariff and a huge marginal tariff on a country like China,
24:07which is one of the strongest economies and, mind you, one of the major suppliers of raw goods for most of the countries in Asia Pacific and across the world.
24:16Chinese yuan falling to its 18-year low is something that has been on the expected line.
24:23But I think the good part to see in this is that despite there is a currency plunge, Chinese stock markets are still rallying.
24:31And to come that after a 120% plus tariff is more on an unexpected line, quite a surprise,
24:40because the Chinese stock market is still hopeful of the fact that things will get better.
24:46However, I think we need to look at the bigger picture on global economy,
24:50because if a currency is being devalued to this, then it's going to definitely impact the global trade
24:56and may also have an impact on the dollar pricing.
25:00Karishma, Shashank, Shivani, thank you very much for all your updates that you're bringing to us.
25:05And this is a member from across the world, especially, of course, with reference to India.
25:08Thank you very much. We'll come back to you in just a short while.
25:12From Trump to Tahavur Rana, after a very short break, as we continue to track what's happening across the world.
25:1726-11 plotter, co-conspirator Tahavur Hussain Rana will be taken to the NIA headquarters
25:22the moment he lands at the Delhi airport amid heavy security.
25:26There will be a multi-level security. He's a high-profile prisoner.
25:29He's someone that India wants to ensure that he has to face the law for what he did.
25:34Remember, this man wrecked in Mumbai.
25:36He stayed at the Taj Hotel. He ensured that he had all the logistics, the locations
25:42that he could then transfer to the terrorists, the jihadists sponsored by Pakistan
25:46who eventually managed to come and carry out the massacre sadly.
25:50Rana will be under the security cover of SWAT commandos of the Delhi police's special cell.
25:54So a full-on security protocol will be followed.
25:57Delhi police will escort Tahavur Hussain Rana's convoy.
26:00It will, of course, be with all security precautions, remember,
26:04because not only is it about a high-security prisoner,
26:08it is also about Pakistan watching right now, the world watching right now,
26:12of how India has managed to ensure that the one who got Indians killed,
26:18he was the first one who started to do the wrecki,
26:21has been brought to India to face the law.
26:25Delhi police personnel have been deployed throughout the airport premises
26:28and will be on alert already in the next few hours.
26:32Stay tuned as Tahavur Hussain Rana, one of the big mastermind of 2611 massacre,
26:37is set to land in India.
26:39He's been forced to land, remember, clearly,
26:41because he tried to explore all legal options to evade it.
26:45My colleague Shivani Sharma, closely tracking the agency.
26:47She's at the NIA office presently.
26:50She's joining me from National Capital, Delhi.
26:52So while jails are being prepared, Shivani, both in Delhi and Mumbai,
26:55Delhi for now is the chosen location.
26:57What is the protocol like?
26:58Because I'm more curious about when does the case, the trial begin?
27:02When does he get punished?
27:09Pooja, this is a high-priority case for India.
27:13It has been persuading for his extradition since 2019.
27:17And now the day has come when Tahavur Hussain Rana will be in India.
27:20He's en route to India.
27:21And the preparations have all been done at the NIA headquarters where we are present right now.
27:27Because it is more likely that as soon as he lands here, he will be brought to the NIA headquarters.
27:33And the security has been put in place.
27:35There will be a SWAT team of commandos that will be accompanying his carcade when he'll be coming here.
27:41The vehicles which will be bringing him will be bulletproof vehicles.
27:44So all the security arrangements have been done.
27:46And there's a multi-layered security not only at the NIA headquarters,
27:49but also at the airport where he'll be landing and from where he'll be brought to the NIA headquarters.
27:55When we talk about the proceedings, once he lands here, there will be protocols that will be followed.
28:01Pooja, because the United States has been, he had, he was there in the United States.
28:07And the agencies in the United States have a proper protocol which India also needs to follow.
28:12And the SWAT team, the SWAT commandos are at the airport already.
28:16The police forces are already at the airport.
28:19The additional CAPFs have been deployed not only at the airport, but also at the NIA headquarters.
28:23And when Rana will be brought here, the proceedings might begin as soon as today.
28:29Stay on with me, Shivani.
28:30Stay on.
28:31More and more updates consistently coming in on this bulletin right now with regard to 2611.
28:36Plotter co-conspirator, Tahavar Hussain, Rana.
28:39Government already on the job, already trying to ensure that no time is wasted and the trial can begin soon.
28:48So that's official.
28:49Government of the centre has appointed Narendra Mand as an advocate, as the special public prosecutor to conduct trial and other matters related to the NIA case.
29:00Remember, for example, in the Ajmal Kasab trial, it was Ujwal Nikam who was the public prosecutor who was appointed, has dealt with terror cases as well.
29:09So this time, for Tahavar Hussain, Rana, it's going to be Narendra Mand.
29:13The advocate will be the special public prosecutor to conduct trial and other matters related to NIA.
29:19So already these deployments are being made.
29:21Heavy security will be at the airport en route.
29:25He's right now in the flight.
29:26He's set to land in the next few hours.
29:28And then he will, when he arrives, immediately arrested.
29:32And then, likely, the trial begins.
29:34Shivani, I return to you on that.
29:36So already, these are big designations that have been decided as well.
29:40What happens here on?
29:42When the trial begins, already NIA dossier is ready.
29:45Details are ready.
29:47The whole country knows what this man has done.
29:49How do we then use him to also expose Pakistan to the world?
29:53Pooja, everybody knows the involvement of Pakistan in this particular massacre that happened on 26-11 in 2008 in Mumbai,
30:04where 166 people lost their lives.
30:06There have been associations with the ISI, associations with the Lashkar-e-Taiba,
30:11and his associations with Headley, how he not only wrecked the whole area,
30:16he provided maps of the area, he provided information about the whereabouts of people
30:21and also the locations out there in Mumbai.
30:24All this is known.
30:25This is already a fact.
30:28But now, when Tahabur Rana will be in India,
30:31he will be investigated further to know the involvement of more people from Pakistan in this particular attack.
30:37And we know, Pooja, the time, the 17-year-long delay has happened because of Pakistan.
30:43It has been denying its involvement.
30:45It has not been supporting the investigation,
30:47despite the fact that India has been putting pressure on Pakistan through global agencies too.
30:53And also, the evidences that India has been providing,
30:57Kassab was already hanged after a trial in India.
31:01Now, when Tahabur Rana will be in India,
31:03there will be more people exposed,
31:05more terror nexus will be exposed of Pakistan after this investigation.
31:11So, this is a big investigation that's going to take place.
31:13And for India, it is a high-priority case, Pooja,
31:16because it had been trying for long for his extradition.
31:20And since 2019, Indian agencies were trying to bring him back.
31:26And despite all his tricks, he has been denied his plea there.
31:31I'm sure a long-term effort, a lot of back-channel talks.
31:35Also, remember, legally approaching.
31:36This is the USA court that decided to reject his plea of estate.
31:40Because remember, Tahabur Hussain Rana, Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin,
31:45tried his best to evade, to escape, to not be able to come to India.
31:49But India pushed as much.
31:50The case proceeded.
31:51And the USA realized, this man needs to face the law.
31:56Here are the details coming in.
31:57Shivani, stay on with me.
31:59He was the plotter, the co-conspirator in the 2611 Mumbai terror attacks,
32:03which led to the loss of life of innocent 170 people, many injured, many families destroyed forever.
32:10He's being extradited by the USA and is set to enter into India.
32:18He'll be landing in Delhi in the next few hours.
32:21The moment Tahabur Hussain Rana lands in Delhi,
32:23our sources suggest he will be immediately officially arrested by the NIA.
32:28He'll have to then undergo a trial at the special NIA court.
32:30Rana could also be produced virtually before the special NIA judge.
32:35That's because of the security concerns.
32:37We are told that he will be right now lodged at the Tihar jail.
32:40All preparations have been made.
32:42Heightened security has been put in place of it.
32:45Amid all of this, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is saying that Tahabur Hussain Rana's extradition
32:50is also a major diplomatic victory of the Narendra Modi-led government.
32:54Remember, it's taken 17 years,
32:56but 17 years no less to ensure that this man does not escape.
33:00Tahabur Hussain Rana has been an ISI agent for a long time.
33:14They were one of the key facilitators in North America,
33:20whether it was Canada or the United States.
33:23He, in fact, facilitated the cavils of David Coleman-Hedley when he came to Rakey,
33:29the targets for the 2008 attack.
33:33He arranged his cavils, plans, visas, everything.
33:39So he's a key person.
33:40He's a key person who was involved in the conspiracy for the attack.
33:45He did not believe that the violence was in the country.
34:09court of law mein jo bhi procedure ho ho per jab in ko fasi ki saza di jai bhare chawra hai mein
34:15mumbai ke diye jai kiunki jis tari ke se nuhne atank machane ka kam kiya tha is tari ke ka punishment
34:20minla chahiye ke jojo log india ko buri daradar se dekhen hai hunki ruk ap jai punishment ko dekker
34:26my colleague shriwani continues to be with me also amit bhardwaj is joining me from the delhi
34:33airport amit i'll come to you now you're at the location where all eyes will be on this man
34:39who the country has waited for perhaps thinking that we'll never be able to have him face the law
34:43will happen in the next few hours do you see specific arrangements at the airport i believe
34:49that they'll want to ensure that it it may not be a very public viewing possibly when he lands
34:54uh you're right puja you know it's been kept under the wrap right now the security arrangements
35:04detailed security arrangements as being mentioned by shivani have been done but from an open eye from
35:11a layman's view you will not be able to spot as to how and where these security arrangements have
35:16been made because there's a sense of security that secrecy that needs to be maintained in this
35:21particular case as well hence you know to say as to whether he's landing at the igi facility in
35:29delhi or the palam facility in delhi that also remains under the wrap what we can certainly say
35:34is that the security agencies have prepared themselves for that transition the moment he
35:40lands from that special craft what we are given to understand that niaik suraksha unit of the delhi
35:47police it has been given the task of carrying transporting tahabur hussein rana from the airport to
35:54tihar jail and along with that in order to assist the delhi police's special uh unit which has the
36:00specialization of carrying any uh such treated uh prisoner you know accused uh from one location to
36:07other from jail to the court uh they have the expertise but to give them a backup uh further
36:12security arrangements have been made by delhi police and cpf as well uh so it is very unlikely that
36:19we'll be getting any glimpse of him you know when he steps out of that special craft and is being
36:25transported to the tihar jail uh what we also given to understand that moments after he is put into the
36:32jail facility there could be a video conferencing through which he will be produced in front of a
36:37special court and from there uh the process of the custody uh will be taken forward however we must
36:44tell our viewers at this point in time as to how the law enforcement agencies are you know are in
36:50action mode uh yesterday itself uh uh the special uh public prosecutor in this particular case have
36:56been appointed and narendra mann will be handling the case also uh you know a timeline of three years
37:03have been given uh to narendra mann a special public prosecutor to take up every legal aspect of this
37:11particular case investigation and to ensure that india gets its people of india and across you know
37:17the the man we are discussing right now is no ordinary man always remember that he was a military
37:23doctor in pakistan military pakistani origins now a canadian citizen an educated man so to say a doctor
37:30turned out to be such a radicalized mind he's the one you must know i'm quoting from the ni dossier
37:35he provided logistic financial other assistant to david coleman headley other co-conspirators
37:41to fulfill a massacre of innocent people indians jews other foreigners as well only because that's the
37:50kind of hateful mind that this man and those in pakistan sponsored by isi from the lashkar-e-taiba
37:57from hafiz saeed's group are known to have so i want to tell you now as you can see on your screen
38:01the role of tahavur rana in 26 11 just to jog your memory a former pakistani army official
38:10he's been linked to the terror plot since 2005 that he was already doing reckeys already in contact his
38:17contacts in mumbai sadly were helping david coleman headley to do all the logistics and tracking
38:23provided logistic and financial support he was constantly in touch with headley and headley
38:29remember once then started to reveal this to the agencies too collaborated with david coleman
38:35headley rayman and ilias kashmiri for future attacks in mumbai remember this was also the decade when
38:42there were a lot of bomb blasts and attacks that used to happen across india headley persuaded tahavur
38:47rana to meet rayman in dubai different countries were chosen to carry out massacre of innocent people
38:54in india in mumbai city he helped david coleman headley to get an indian visa he used the chicago office
39:01as a cover and remember this is all being sponsored by lashkar-e-taiba specifically but i would say
39:07basically by the pakistan establishment and isi for now tahavur rana for long has been linked by the
39:14and i to lashkar-e-taiba to the huji group as well provided consistent info wherever he was located
39:21to the lashkar-e-taiba because it was his information remember it was his information his logistics his
39:29understanding of what place are where in mumbai including the shabar house then to lashkar-e-taiba
39:34terrorists who were trained like ajmal kasab who could sadly unfortunately carry out
39:40the killing of over 107 people in mumbai shivani sharma joins me on this shivani
39:48most of us remember what happened on 26 11 we were reporting live we were trying to figure out
39:53what exactly is happening in our country what do you make of this moment when this man at some
39:58point thought he's got away he's a canadian citizen he's been able to convince the usa also
40:03even though he's in their custody but india ensured that we'll get him back and he'll have to face the law
40:08puja tahavur rana he knocked at all these courts in united states to escape this extradition to
40:20india because he knows that when he lands in india he will be exposed further and his involvement in
40:26this 26 11 massacre is known to indian agencies how he provided access of all the maps the recce did
40:34he helped headley to be in india he used the offices out here and he how and he provided
40:41information about these locations where the terrorists attacked 10 terrorists uh they attacked
40:47in mumbai at different locations 166 people including indians americans jews lost their lives and
40:53pakistan did not support in this investigation it has been denying as always of its involvement but
41:01here we know that tahavur rana has been a close associate of these terror organizations that were
41:06involved he was a close associate of headley he was a close associate of isi and a larger conspiracy
41:13was being hatched even after this 26 11 attack in india uh puja and uh the agencies have all the
41:21information about how he helped uh these terrorists where 166 people lost their lives and now when he will
41:27be in india he will have to speak uh and and tell and expose how he was involved with uh all those
41:35terror organizations who still try to push inside indian boundaries in jammu and kashmi as you as you
41:41narrate this to us as amit is telling us i can't help but just remind ourselves and the viewer think of
41:48the neighbor we have pakistan and the kind of radicalized minds like this who just are ready to even kill
41:55innocent people and get away but it was constant effort for 17 years think of the families today
42:01that were destroyed on 26 11 in mumbai indians and foreigners as much what happens now tahavurus
42:08and rana set to land in delhi india today's rahul kamal spoke to ap singh he's the former director cbi
42:13ahead of rana's landing in delhi and what the protocol will be here on listen in
42:17ahavurana is one of the big high profile successes that the nia and the cbi have had and the question
42:26that everyone is asking is when will we get the real masterminds the likes of lakvi the likes of
42:32hafiz saeed the isi officers who are in pakistan are we likely to get them and can this be the first
42:40of many such successes rahul you are not going to get anybody from pakistan let's be blunt and face
42:49facts but yes this is the most important exudation from the u.s i think ever the only other one was
42:56warren anderson who was wanted for that bapal tragedy gas tragedy they refused but this we must
43:04give credit to the government the investigating agencies and particularly president trump i mean
43:09he took a absolutely forceful view on this and he said no we're sending him back and i think this will
43:16actually give us the whole you know the idea of the pakistani deep state once we get this rana he he
43:25will be properly interrogated you know video hadley was only a video conference he had the u.s had said
43:35that he had done a plea bargain and they said okay we are not going to extradite you we are not going to
43:42sentence you to death and so he appeared before the bambai court in a video conference and he was given
43:50approval status so that is not this time actually he's going to be physically interrogated you know
43:57personally by nia and by so many agencies so we will get to know the entire deep state pakistan deep
44:04state involvement in this in this extra in this conspiracy of the bomb but how does this according
44:12to you mr singh materially impact this case because you're seeing no one's likely to be sent back from
44:18pakistan it will give us a deeper sense of the park deep state we already have a good sense of what
44:24happened during 26 11 so explain to those watching right now how does that why is this such a big
44:29success how does tahavu rana coming back to india materially impact the 26 11 case you see earlier hadley
44:39had no he was not physically being interrogated so he could say anything he wanted kasab was only a foot
44:48soldier so i don't think kasab really knew everything that was going behind but this fellow rana knows the
44:55whole story he would know everything about how this was planned how it was executed who were the conspirators
45:02and uh i mean it's obvious that pakistan is not going to send these guys but at least we know the
45:09whole story i i think that is very important and also we have had a successful extradition of a main
45:15accused why is to hover usendrana such a big name the manner in which he's being now forced to land in
45:23india though he tried his best to escape and evade the law what did he do what is he accused of that india
45:2917 years it took but ensured that he will have to return to the country
45:36tahavu rana 26 11 plotter has been extradited to india after his plea before the u.s supreme court was
45:43rejected so let's now tell you who exactly tahavu rana is why he's wanted in india
45:50tahavu rana is a canadian national of pakistani origin who's been actively involved in terror activities
45:56he initially served as a doctor in the pakistan army before moving to canada in the late 1990s
46:03after obtaining canadian citizenship he settled in chicago where he operated various businesses
46:09including an immigration consultancy he established several businesses first world immigration services
46:15being one which was an immigration service agency with offices in chicago new york and toronto
46:21he also founded a halal slaughterhouse in chicago as one of his businesses besides the 26 11 terror attack
46:28rana is also accused of another terror attack he was convicted of conspiracy to provide material
46:34support to a plot from october 2008 to october 2009 to commit murder in denmark and that included a
46:41horrific plan to behead employees of a danish newspaper and throw their heads onto the streets in
46:47copenhagen this over a 2005 publication of cartoons depicting the prophet mohammed which had sparked
46:53widespread outrage among the muslim community
46:59tahavu rana was a childhood friend of david headley so even the danish newspaper attack was allegedly
47:05co-planned let's talk now about the 26 11 attacks and how rana was involved in that
47:15the 26 11 attacks was orchestrated by the last great boy in november 2008 in different parts of
47:27mumbai in which 165 innocent lives were lost tahavu rana was involved in the planning of the attack
47:35rana had visited mumbai with his wife and stayed at the taj mahal hotel which if you remember was attacked by
47:41his terrorists one of the main conspirators of the 26 11 attack pakistani american david coleman headley had
47:49testified against rana and during his interrogation in america headley had essentially revealed that he
47:55traveled to india five times between 2007 and 2008 and done a recce for the mumbai attacks and he did this
48:03using a five-year visa that tahavu rana had helped him obtain essentially rana's immigration office
48:09provided cover for headley's operations as part of his cover headley even opened a branch of rana's law
48:16office in mumbai there were also phone conversations between the two terrorists one of them tahavu rana told
48:23david headley that the attackers involved in the mumbai terror attacks should receive pakistan's highest
48:29posthumous military honors india also presented evidence that tahavu rana acted as a conduit
48:36passing messages between headley and one of his pakistan-based operatives and that's why on 18th
48:42october 2009 both rana and headley were arrested at the o'hare international airport in chicago on
48:49multiple terrorism charges tahavu rana put up a very weak defense against the mountain of evidence
48:55in his defense rana argued that he had agreed to support headley's activities in india because
49:00he was led to believe that he was working for the isi essentially for the pakistan government
49:05but shockingly despite all of the evidence against tahavu rana a u.s court acquitted him in 2011
49:11on charges of abetting the mumbai terror attacks this proved to be a huge setback for indian
49:17authorities rana however was convicted for providing material support to the let and helping with the
49:23terror plot that i referred to earlier in denmark and so he was sentenced to 14 years in prison
49:29here in india rana and headley were given a trial in absentia in a mumbai high court
49:34for their involvement in 26 11 and for years we've been seeking the extradition of tahavu rana
49:41and now finally the wheels are moving after prime minister modi's visit to america president trump
49:48assured that rana would be extradited this was in february today i'm pleased
49:53to announce that my administration has approved the extradition of one of the plotters and one of
49:58the very evil people of the world and uh having to do with the horrific 2008 mumbai terrorist attack
50:09to face justice in india so he's going to be going back to india to face justice
50:16in india so
50:21Rana attempted to stay his extradition to India with a last-ditch attempt, a plea in the U.S.
50:50Supreme Court claiming his life is in danger in India. His appeal was shot down and he's now been extradited.
