On this programme, we discussed with expert on the life-sentence being handed down to former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol. Mr Yoon's lawyers said they've filed an appeal against the insurrection conviction stemming from his 2024 martial law declaration.

We then turned our attention to the reported deaths of multiple dogs in Lok Ma Chau, due to suspected food poisoning. We heard from the chair of a dog rescue group on the matter. 

After the break, we talked to the chief imam of Hong Kong about Ramadan, a month-long fast being observed by more than 300-thousand Muslims in the city. 

And finally, we brought you the latest on the arrest of former UK Ambassador to the US. Peter Mandelson has now been released on bail pending further investigation into his ties with late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The opposition has also demanded the release of what they call the 'Mandelson files'.
