  • Epstein Files resurface in Times Now bombshell

    Epstein Files resurface in Times Now bombshell

    MUMBAI: The ghost of Jeffrey Epstein refuses to rest quietly. In a Times Now Global Exclusive that’s shaken the corridors of power, survivor Reena Oh and veteran investigative journalist Barry Levine have reignited the world’s most chilling scandal, hinting that the darkest secrets may still lie buried in classified files.

    Speaking with Times Now and Times Now Navbharat group editor-in-chief  Navika Kumar, the duo revealed shocking new details about the Epstein network, the alleged cover-ups, and the silence that continues to shield the powerful.

    The revelations follow the leak of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir, which reportedly includes explosive rape allegations against a man described as a “prime minister.” Levine disclosed that more than 100,000 pages of FBI documents on Epstein remain sealed, potentially containing multiple references to former U.S. president Donald Trump. “Epstein and Trump were friends for nearly 15 years,” Levine said, adding that the two were photographed and filmed together at private events.

    Reena Oh, who survived Epstein’s circle of abuse, offered a haunting account of Ghislaine Maxwell’s home, describing “a closet full of sadistic objects” that stood as proof of the horrors endured by young girls. She confirmed she had cooperated with the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI, helping investigators piece together parts of Maxwell’s prosecution.

    “Oh, many survivors have stopped speaking out,” she said quietly. “They’re scared. Some have even received death threats. That’s why the Epstein files must be made public.”

    Levine echoed her call for transparency. “Until those files are released,” he said, “justice remains unfinished and democracy untested.”

    With Maxwell already convicted and Epstein’s network still under scrutiny, the storm around his legacy is far from over. As Navika Kumar summed it up on air, “The truth is in those files. It’s time the world learns what power tried to bury.”

    The full interview airs tonight at 9:30 pm on Times Now, in The Epstein Files: The Secrets, The Silence, The Survivors, a broadcast that promises to raise more questions than it answers.

     

  • “Trump is our main ally”: Nobel laureate Maria Corina Machado to Times Now

    “Trump is our main ally”: Nobel laureate Maria Corina Machado to Times Now

    MUMBAI: Democracy, defiance, and a dash of diplomacy. In a rare and emotional global exclusive, Times Now has become the only Indian news channel to interview Venezuela’s 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado and the face of her nation’s democratic resistance.

    Speaking to Times Now and Times Now Navbharat group editor-in-chief Navika Kumar, Machado appeared via a secure link from hiding, where she has lived in isolation for over 15 months amid president Nicolás Maduro’s crackdown on dissent.

    In her most candid conversation yet, Machado called India “a great democracy and an example for the world”, expressing hope that a liberated Venezuela would deepen ties with New Delhi.

    “India has been an example for many generations,” she said. “I hope I can host prime minister Modi in a free Venezuela very soon.”

    The Nobel laureate also made headlines for describing US president Donald Trump as “our main ally in the fight for democracy”, crediting his administration’s hard-line stance against the Maduro regime. She defended America’s targeted strikes on narco-terror networks in Venezuelan waters as a necessary response to “the criminal socialist structures that have devastated our nation.”

    Breaking down at one point, Machado spoke of the human cost of repression and said, “I’ve been in absolute isolation for almost 15 months. Thousands have disappeared. Children and women have been abused, tortured, even killed. But Venezuela’s spirit is unbroken: Maduro’s time is over.”

    Citing Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings, she reflected on the power of peaceful resistance. “Being peaceful is not weakness. Gandhi showed humanity that freedom demands strength.”

    Her remarks come amid global debates over the future of democracy and place India squarely in her vision of hope.

    Times Now, Navbharat and Radio Mirchi hit the road for Bihar Election Yatra

    In a first-ever collaboration between the Times Group’s television and radio arms, the initiative blends on-ground reportage with on-air energy, turning poll coverage into a full-fledged public conversation.

    The Election Yatra brings together Times Now Navbharat’s Rakesh Pandey and Times Now’s Swati Joshi, who hit the road across 28 districts and 4,500 kilometres, alongside Mirchi Patna RJs Shashi and Anjali. Together, they capture the stories, moods and melodies of Bihar’s democracy-in-motion.

  • Bihar on the move as Times Now’s Election Yatra hits the road

    Bihar on the move as Times Now’s Election Yatra hits the road

    MUMBAI: Forget bulletins from air-conditioned studios this election season, the news is on the move. As Bihar braces for a high-octane poll battle, Times Now and Times Now Navbharat is hitting the dusty roads and crowded gullies of the state with Election Yatra, a roving newsroom covering 4500 km across 28 districts to capture democracy in its rawest, most unfiltered form.

    Beyond the familiar rhythm of Litti Chokha and Madhubani art, Bihar is a land forever rewriting its story restless, young, and hungry for change. With nearly 58 per cent of its people under 25 and a burgeoning MSME sector generating over 6 lakh jobs across 15 plus industries, the state is quietly shaking off stereotypes, one enterprise at a time. And now, as it heads into one of the most closely watched elections in the post-Operation Sindoor and new GST era, the spotlight burns brighter than ever.

    From Patna’s bustling lanes to Begusarai’s fiery campaign grounds, Times Now and Times Now Navbharat Election Yatra promises a front-row view of Bihar’s shifting political landscape. The mobile newsroom doubles as a studio, broadcasting straight from where conversations spark the chai stalls, the chowks, and the campaign caravans.

    This isn’t just another election coverage; it’s a 4500 km odyssey to decode the state’s complex identity, where nostalgia meets new narratives. Will Prashant Kishor’s experiment rewrite Bihar’s political math? Or will the familiar power blocs, the NDA and the Maha Gathbandhan hold fort once again?

    Under Mandate 2025, Times Now rolls out a power-packed programming slate that goes beyond headline politics.

    ● National Debate, airing from 11 October every Saturday at 8 pm and Sunday at 3 pm, brings sharp minds together to dissect Bihar’s biggest issues.

    ● Inside, a documentary-style weekend special also launching 11 October at 11:30 am, delves deep into the forces shaping the polls.

    ●  Access, another new format, shadows key candidates through the campaign trail, offering an unfiltered, insider’s view of life behind the loudspeakers.

    Times Now Navbharat’s mobile hydraulic canter transforms into a full-fledged studio on-ground. The channel also has come up with a strategically designed lineup captures the pulse of Bihar as it heads into a historic Assembly election. Babua E Bihar Ba presently airing at 11:30 am & 7:30 pm every day, brings a travelogue-style journey across the state, interacting with locals keeping authentic linguistic charm. Further on Reporter Vs Reporter Season 2, returns to present both sides of every story: balanced, accurate, and fair, directly from Bihar’s heartland.

    “Bihar has always been the hotbed of political movements, a laboratory for national experiments,” said Times Now and Times Now Navbharat group editor-in-chief Navika Kumar. “This will be the first big test for voter sentiment post Operation Sindoor and the Opposition’s vote chori campaign. With new entrants like Prashant Kishor shaking up old equations, our teams will be on the ground to track every tremor of change.”

    She added that Times Now’s election coverage stands apart for its “depth, reach, and credibility”, ensuring that viewers don’t just watch the election, they understand it.

    As November 13 brings the Poll of Polls and Exit Poll, Times Now’s analytical engine will decode voter moods and seat projections with surgical precision. The Counting Day special on November 14 promises minute-by-minute updates as results unfold across the state, each number a reflection of not just votes, but voices.

    From Hajipur’s bylanes to Patna’s university corridors, Bihar’s democracy is as earthy as its soil and as unpredictable as its politics. Through Election Yatra, Times Now doesn’t just report the story, it travels with it, kilometre by kilometre, capturing the sounds, the sights, and the soul of India’s most fascinating electoral theatre.

  • NBDSA cracks the whip: news channels caught in a spin over sensationalism

    NBDSA cracks the whip: news channels caught in a spin over sensationalism

    MUMBAI: The News Broadcasting & Digital Standards Authority (NBDSA) has been rather busy, doling out a series of rulings that have left several prominent Indian news channels with a bit of egg on their faces. It appears some broadcasters have been playing fast and loose with the facts, prompting the watchdog to flex its regulatory muscles.

    In a decision that’s got everyone talking, ABP News found itself in the NBDSA’s crosshairs over one 7 September 2024, interview with the former BJP MP, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The complainant, Indrajeet Ghorpade, wasn’t chuffed about the alleged “character assassination” of olympic wrestler Vinesh Phogat. The NBDSA, clearly not amused by the chuckles at Phogat’s expense, closed the complaint with an “observation to take care of the issue,” effectively telling ABP to mind its manners. It seems some interviews are more of a grapple than a chat.

    Not to be outdone in the “oops” stakes, Times Now Navbharat received a stern talking-to for a broadcast from 5-6 September 2024, titled ‘अवैध मस्जिद’ पर महिलाओं ने मुसलमानों पर खुलकर सब बता दिया ! (Women openly tell everything about illegal mosques). Ghorpade, a busy chap indeed, also lodged this complaint, citing misleading thumbnails and a rather leading line of questioning about Shimla’s Muslim population. The NBDSA, advising broadcasters to ensure “tickers and thumbnails should conform to the actual version of the discussions/interviews,” has told Times Now Navbharat to snip, snip, snip that thumbnail from the video, if it’s still lurking online. A case of “don’t judge a broadcast by its cover,” perhaps.

    Meanwhile, Zee News felt the heat over a quartet of programmes aired on 15 and 16 October 2024, all revolving around the rather unsavoury (and frankly, bizarre) concept of “thook jihad” and “urine jihad”. Utkarsh Mishra’s complaint highlighted how a perfectly sensible UP law about CCTV cameras in eateries was spun into a battle against “thook jihad,” seemingly legitimising “state-sponsored and legislative targeting based on one’s religious identity”. The NBDSA, clearly unimpressed by this “spitting image” of sensationalism, issued a warning to Zee News not to “repeat such violations.” They’ve also been told to scrub the offending videos from their digital presence. Looks like Zee News got a bit of a sticky wicket there.

    Finally, Citizens for Justice & Peace landed Times Now Navbharat in hot water again, this time for 19 August 2024, programmes dissecting “teaching in Madrasas in Bihar”. The complaint alleged inflammatory language and selective reporting surrounding claims about “Pakistan-Published books” and “non-Muslims as ‘Kafir’”. The NBDSA, after a good long chinwag with both parties, concluded that the broadcasts had indeed fallen short of journalistic standards. They’ve directed the broadcaster to take down the objectionable segments and, in a polite but firm tone, told them to get their house in order.

    In all four cases, the NBDSA emphasised the importance of factual integrity, responsible language, and a strong editorial spine. The verdicts serve as a wake-up call to India’s noisy newsrooms: shock and sensationalism may fetch eyeballs, but they won’t go unchecked.

    For some broadcasters, it’s clearly time to trade outrage for oversight — or risk a growing pile of takedown notices.
