we know over the last ten years narendra modi's government has made india richer but one of the main gripes the opposition has is that the wealth isn't fairly spread around. in fact, and a recent study found it's one of the most unequal in the world with the richest 1% controlling 40% of the wealth. what challenges does that pose? one thing one has to be careful of is inequalities statistics but that said, i think inequality is relatively high — and by the way, i don't think inequality has grown, increased or deteriorated under the modi government. so, i think what is much more important is to focus on those who are at the bottom end of the spectrum and trying to get them out of poverty. let's turn to the story of truong my lan who has been sentenced to death in vietnam. the property tycoon was found guilty of looting one of the country's largest banks over a period of 11 years. the bbc�*s southeast asia correspondentjonathan head breaks down the highly—publicised case. it's long been clear the communist authorities in vietnam wanted to make an example of truong my lan, the 67â
