Welcome back to The Briefing Room, the weekly conflict rundown where we ask the age-old question what would we all be talking about if the Iran war wasn't happening?
This week we're going to visit the nation of India where after more than half a century of continuous conflict the ideological descendants of Chinese Chairman Mao Zedong have finally been vanquished.
From there we'll travel to Nepal to cover what's quickly becoming a political takedown for the ages and finally we'll turn to Haiti where the news, as usual, is oh so very bad.
