Green Pulse Ep 34: The climate change detectives
20:49 mins
Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.
Every year we seem to be facing more and more extreme weather events. This year, it’s been fires in Australia, Siberia and now the US West Coast. Record floods have caused havoc in China, while polar ice caps are melting faster. But can we link individual events to climate change?
In this episode, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty speak with climate scientist Friederike Otto, who is the acting director of the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford, and co-lead of World Weather Attribution, an international effort to analyse and communicate the possible influence of climate change on extreme weather events.

The Big Story Ep 44: Singapore to negotiate air travel bubbles with safe countries for general travellers
Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story.
Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung announced in Parliament on Tuesday (Oct 6) that Singapore will negotiate air travel bubbles with safe countries for general travellers that does not require a controlled itinerary.

Health Check Ep 45: How to age well and achieve a lower biological age
19:44 mins
Synopsis: Fortnightly on Wednesdays, get healthier living tips as The Straits Times chats with expert guests.
Some people seem to age very quickly, and look older than their age, while others appear to age less rapidly. When we are young, we want to look and feel older than we are. When we are older, we want to look and feel young, though this means having to keep frailty and chronic diseases at bay.
Thankfully, scientists in the anti-ageing research field are busy studying how we can delay ageing so that people can stay healthy longer, and in the process, look better too.
ST senior health correspondent Joyce Teo speaks with anti-ageing expert, Prof Brian Kennedy - the director of the NUHS Centre for Healthy Longevity - on what we can do to achieve a lower biological age and keep ageing at bay.
Prof Kennedy calls ageing the "climate change of healthcare" as ageing is the largest risk factor for chronic illnesses like cardiovascular diseases. He adds that healthcare should be about preventive care and not just sick care.
Listen to Pt 2 of interview with Prof Kennedy on ageing well

#PopVultures Ep 33: What's wrong with Mulan 2020?
34:37 mins
Synopsis: The Straits Times examines the ins and outs of pop culture in the Asian entertainment and Hollywood industries.
This week the #PopVultures review Mulan, spoilers and all! Jan and Sam Jo give their unfiltered thoughts on the recent Disney live-action adaptation of Mulan, focusing on what they liked and hated about the film.
Where is the music? What is 'qi'? Do the Chinese characters of Loyal, Brave and True look like a bad tattoo someone might get? What did Gong Li, Donnie Yen and Jet Li even do in this movie? What about the history of Mulan? What are the origins of this legendary Chinese warrior woman?
Then they dive deeper into the reasons behind Mulan's dismal showing at the Chinese box office. They discuss why female lead's Liu Yifei's support for the Hong Kong police and the film's on-location shoots in Xinjiang led to a strong #BoycottMulan movement and why Hollywood's attempts at Asian representation have fallen short.
Finally, they end off with some recommendations for alternative Mulan content.
Tune in to hear Jan (trash) talk Mulan and Sam Jo doing his best to channel Christina Aguilera/Lea Salonga through his soulful singing!

The Big Story Ep 43: Drop in PAP's perceived credibility seen in all age groups: IPS post-GE2020 survey
Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story.
According to a post-election survey by the Institute of Policy Studies, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, jobs and the cost of living weighed heavily on Singaporeans’ minds as they headed to the polls in July this year.
Political diversity, too, was a key consideration among the country’s younger and better-educated voters. Across all age groups, there was a slide in the proportion of people who thought the ruling People’s Action Party was credible, while the opposite was true for the opposition Workers’ Party.
Survey research team members Dr Gillian Koh and Dr Teo Kay Key dissect the findings with The Big Story hosts Hairianto Diman and Olivia Quay.
