Fake news, #MeToo and dirty air: stories dominating the lives of BBC Delhi correspondents

Fake news, #MeToo and dirty polluted air: the stories dominating the lives of some correspondents in the Indian capital. Anu Anand is joined by four BBC’s journalists in Delhi.

What’s it like to confront some of the men accused of pumping out fake news in India, a country where false stories spread on social media have led to riots, killings and mass lynchings? Vineet Khare shares his story.
Anu Anand is at the British Council in Delhi to hear this and other tales from some of the BBC’s journalists in the Indian capital.
Divya Arya explains why the #MeToo movement is making some Indian men a little nervous.
Nitin Srivastava reveals what he learnt from his trip to Myanmar last year to investigate the plight of the country’s Muslim minority.
And, “my throat soon starts to burn and my eyes fill with water. I can smell charcoal and pungent gases,” – just another day trying to make it through Delhi’s polluted air for Devina Gupta.
