The Hot Seat:  Kamala Harris v Donald Trump - Who is better for Singapore?

Iran has confirmed that its top security chief, Ali Larijani, was killed in an Israeli airstrike, alongside his son and senior aides, a major setback for Tehran’s leadership since the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier in the conflict.

In response to his death, Iran has launched missile strikes on Israel, while targets in Lebanon have also been hit, raising concerns of a broader regional escalation.

What does Larijani’s assassination mean for the balance of power in Iran? Could it undermine diplomatic efforts in the region? 

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr James Dorsey, Adjunct Senior Fellow at Nanyang Technological University's S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, to unpack the latest developments.

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh dive into chaos, both robotic and edible.

First, a humanoid robot in Macau goes rogue, terrifying a 70-year-old woman and forcing cops to step in. How did a 4-foot-tall bot designed for education end up getting arrested? And, what does this say about our increasingly unpredictable relationship with technology?

Then, we turn to a very different kind of frenzy: the Dubai chocolate craze has evolved into a full-blown cake obsession in Taiwan, with fans sprinting, queuing for hours, and even reselling slices at triple the price. Is the Dubai chocolate hype getting out of hand?
