- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

India is hosting the BRICS leaders' summit in New Delhi on September 12 and 13, 2026. The event is taking place at Bharat Mandapam and brings together leaders from major emerging economies. During the summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to review bilateral ties and discuss economic, defense, and energy cooperation. Prime Minister Modi reiterated that dialogue and diplomacy are the necessary paths for resolving conflicts and stated that India is ready to assist in peace efforts.
President Putin criticized the Group of Seven, referring to it as the so-called G7. He claimed that BRICS countries contributed over 40 percent of the world GDP in the last five years, while the G7 contributed only 29 percent. Petr Sizov, the press secretary for the Russian embassy in India, expressed optimism about the grouping's strength while speaking in fluent Hindi.
To accommodate the movement of VVIPs and international dignitaries, Delhi Police implemented traffic diversions and regulated vehicle movement on September 12. Affected areas include the Lutyens' zone, Sardar Patel Marg, and the India Gate roundabout. Additionally, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation began services at 6 am on Sunday to assist students taking competitive examinations.
