In his cabinet so far, he has picked former Fox personalities to oversee defence, transportation, and another to serve as U.S. ambassador to Israel. Also joining his cabinet are TV personalities Dr. Mehmet Oz, who will head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and former WWE CEO Linda McMahon who will be the new education secretary.

On average how many people do you greet day to day? You have challenge today - and it is to say hello to at least 10 people, as we mark World Hello Day. Not just to family and friends: you get extra points if you maybe even say hi to a stranger, or maybe reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in awhile. Do you think you can do it? Audrey and Ryan talk about the origins of this day and how one of our favourite words came to be.  Presented by Audrey Siek & Ryan Huang Produced and Edited by Audrey Siek  Photo and music credits: Pixabay & its talented community of contributors

Health technology is evolving at a rapid pace, offering new solutions for treating diseases, enhancing human capabilities, and prolonging life. But with these incredible possibilities come profound ethical dilemmas - especially when it comes to gene editing, AI in medical decision-making, and biotechnological interventions. As we embrace these innovations, how do we ensure they are used responsibly, without compromising our values or societal well-being? In this episode of health-tech on Mind Your Business, we explore the delicate balance between scientific progress and ethical responsibility in health technology. How can bioethics guide us in navigating the future of healthcare innovations?

The COP29 climate talks are heading into its final stretch, with negotiators from nearly 200 countries still remaining far apart, as nations try to agree on a plan to provide potentially trillions of dollars to developing countries suffering the effects of climate change. As evidence becomes increasingly challenging to ignore, climate scientists are warning that the planet is almost certain to blow past the target of keeping global warming within 1.5 degrees Celsius - a rallying cry  for climate action for nearly a decade. However, divisions remain over how much money should be made available, what kind of financing efforts should count toward the overall goal and how recipient countries should gain access to the funds. Is the focus of these talks headed in the right direction? And why are the talks seeming to yield little progress?  On this episode of Morning Shot, Professor Ben Horton, Director from the Earth Observatory of Singapore at NTU shares his insights.

Hawker culture in Singapore has been inscribed as Singapore's first element on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. But, decades of culinary expertise are at risk of fading, as experienced hawkers gradually retire over the years and fewer new hawkers join the scene. Just recently, Members of Parliament on both sides of the aisle voted in favour of an amended Progress Singapore Party motion, calling on the government to continue the government's support for hawkers and to grow Singapore’s hawker culture. On this episode of Morning Shot, Yeo Wan Ling, Assistant Secretary-General & Director, U SME and Women & Family Unit at NTUC shares her insights.
