Synopsis: The Straits Times tackles the biggest sports talking points every month.

Tennis fever hit Singapore recently, with US Open champion Emma Raducanu drawing crowds at Tanglin Club during a stopover in the Lion City after her exit at the Australian Open, where Rafael Nadal's inspirational comeback win in the men's singles final Down Under also caught the imagination of many.

National tennis player Shaheed Alam, who had the chance to hit with Raducanu during her time in Singapore, talks about the experience of sharing a court with the game's top stars, his takeaways from the Australian Open, the 'New Big Three' of tennis, and what lies ahead in 2022 for him.

Highlights of conversation (click/tap above):

00:53 - What it was like to hit with Raducanu

03:49 - What Raducanu was like off-court

06:39 - How a Federer die-hard saw Nadal's win

10:11 - Juggling NS and a SEA Games dream

Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.

One of the most important climate change indicators is one that rarely gets headlines -ocean temperatures. Yet, the world’s oceans are heating up, absorbing huge amounts of energy caused by global warming.

Last year was the hottest for the world's oceans in recorded human history, according to a study led by an international team of scientists who track the data. It was the sixth consecutive record year. What does this mean for humanity and why should we be concerned?

In this episode, The Straits Times environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty discuss the growing alarm over hotter oceans with Dr Kevin Trenberth, from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder Colorado. 

Highlights (click/tap above):

1:15 How hot have oceans become?

5:25 How much could global temperatures have risen without the oceans; human activities causing ocean acidification 

8:26 Implications of a warmer ocean for marine biodiversity? 

9:23 What about sea level rise and storms? 

12:58 How long will the ocean retain the heat for?

Synopsis: Every first and third Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you.

If you’re raising a child with special needs, such as physical, cognitive, behavioural challenges, you are not alone. You deserve the time to look after yourselves and there is comfort to be found from families who have children with special needs.

In this episode, Joyce Teo, a senior health correspondent with The Straits Times, speaks with Dr Lim Hong Huay, an epidemiologist and developmental paediatrician who has two children with ADHD and mild autism, about how parents of special needs children can avoid burnout. She also talks about how friends and family can help parents of special needs children and what the public should (and should not) do when they encounter a parent having a challenging episode with a special needs child.

Dr Lim founded CaringSG in 2020, when many special education schools and early intervention programmes had to stop their services and families were stuck at home. That worsened the exhaustion, burnout and mental health issues that some caregivers had.

Highlights (click/tap above):

02:54 How friends and family can help

10:46 How parents can avoid burnout

14:06 How the public can help

16:08 Tips for parents of special needs children
