In India, the prime minister has announced about $2.4 bn worth of benefits for farmers as they continue to protest against new laws they say will damage their livelihoods. We go to Delhi to hear how farmers are reacting to the announcement.

After the duo started posting videos of them singing together traditional folk songs and evergreens, they have gained thousands of followers and millions of views.
