Backchat
On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about serious flu cases and calls for citizens to be vaccinated.
The medical sector is urging members of the public to get their flu jabs after an eight-year-old unvaccinated girl, infected with the influenza A virus, died last week.
A six-year-old girl is also seriously ill in hospital.
Figures show 36 people died of flu-related complications during a 10-day period earlier this month. It's believed immunity levels may have been affected by a relative lack of exposure to viruses over the past four years, because of anti-Covid precautions.
So has flu become more serious than Covid? We'll be talking to medical experts.
After 9:45, we turn our attention to the activity known as parkour, with a video circulating online showing a young man apparently leaping from one MTR platform to another, prompting authorities to launch an investigation into potential breaches of MTR by-laws.
