China's Evergrande crisis: The rise and fall of Hui Ka Yan

Description

China's Evergrande has announced that its founder is being investigated for "illegal crimes". It's the latest twist for world's most indebted property developer. We take a look at the rise and fall of Hui Ka Yan, who was once China's richest person. Next, we head to India to explore the impact of underground fires at coal mines in the east of the country. We see how fires have been burning for over a century, posing a threat to locals and the environment. Finally, what's in a name? India or Bharat are both terms for the same country, one in English and the other in Hindi. However, we see why Bharat has taken on an increasingly political and nationalistic tone in the country.
