This weeknight news show offers a round-up of the day's top news as well as what's trending online and on social media.

Presented by multimedia journalists Dylan Ang and Cheow Sue-Ann, it airs live at 9pm on ST's Facebook, YouTube and Twitter channels.

In Friday's (April 16) headlines, a four-storey building in Thomson Road will be demolished to allow excavation works for an upcoming North-South Corridor tunnel just metres away to begin safely.

This is after the authorities found that the 57-year-old mixed-use building at 68 to 74 Thomson Road was not strong enough to withstand excavation works.

And six men - five Chinese nationals and one Malaysian - were arrested in an enforcement operation which targeted those who bought duty-unpaid cigarettes from online peddlers.
