558. The 'Cockroach' Uprising and Should We Stop Data Centres?
About this episode
Is Modi's power finally cracking as the Cockroach Janta Party's mass protests force a minister to resign for the first time in over a decade? Does the new US-Saudi uranium deal risk triggering a fresh wave of nuclear proliferation across the Middle East and beyond? If AI data centres are the foundation of future defence and security, can Britain build them without wrecking its water supplies and climate targets?
Join Rory and Alastair as they answer all these questions and more in this week's edition of Question Time.
