The Agenda: When is the right time to get insurance?

Trump has rejected Iran’s latest peace response as 'unacceptable', raising fresh doubts over whether diplomacy can cool a conflict that is already disrupting global energy flows and driving up prices. 

In Southeast Asia, ASEAN is now under pressure to respond, with leaders floating ideas like regional fuel stockpiles, food reserves and faster crisis coordination. But with long-standing agreements still unevenly implemented and domestic priorities often taking precedence, can these proposals move from discussion to real-world action in time to matter?

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar dive into a viral news that took over China's social media platforms where men are now modelling women's lingerie for sale on shopping livestreams.

Two Singapore residents who were aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship are currently being tested at NCID for the rare Andes strain of hantavirus, following its link to an overseas outbreak that has already caused fatalities.

Although health authorities continue to assess the global risk as low, concern has been raised because this particular strain has, in rare instances, shown the potential for human-to-human transmission, prompting a rapid public health response in Singapore.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong and Professor Paul Tambyah, Former president of the Asia-Pacific Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infection, unpack what is known so far, why this virus is drawing attention, and what the latest developments mean for Singapore.
