The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

  • India has moved closer to buying five more S-400 air defence systems from Russia, with Moscow sending a Bill of Quantities to begin cost negotiations, while the last of the original five systems contracted in 2018 is due in November.
  • Heavy rain has disrupted Delhi and the National Capital Region, with the IMD forecasting more thunderstorms and issuing a yellow alert for Saturday.
  • Punjab Police arrested a 65-year-old Jalandhar man on the FBI's most-wanted fraudsters list over an alleged $6,00,000 US benefits fraud; he fled the US in April and reached India via Canada.
  • Separately, at least eight Tamil Nadu engineering students died when their car hit a parked lorry in Kerala's Thrissur.

What to watch next

  • Cost negotiations over the five additional S-400 systems following Moscow's Bill of Quantities
  • Further rain and a yellow alert for Delhi and the NCR on September 5
  • Legal proceedings for Manjit Singh Bedi, who fled the US in April to evade them
