SINGAPORE – Catch up on the hottest topics on The Straits Times’ weekday talk show.

The Big Story, broadcast every weekday at 5.30pm on Facebook and YouTube, has reporters and senior editors discussing the top stories of the day.

The show is helmed by multimedia correspondent Hairianto Diman and assistant video editor Olivia Quay, and airs live from ST’s digital studio.

Following his inauguration, US President Joe Biden wasted no time in getting to work to sign 17 executive orders, including measures to rejoin the Paris Agreement on climate change.

The 78-year-old also mandated the wearing of face masks on federal property, taking charge of a divided country plagued by the coronavirus pandemic.

Nine of the first batch of orders directly reverse his predecessor Donald Trump’s policies during his term. Foreign editor Bhagyashree Garekar will give her take on the new president’s moves.
