    Epstein files release / First wheelchair user traveled to space / Protections against "super flu"

    On Monday's Backchat, we started by speaking to experts about the latest Epstein Files. Mandated by a new law, the US Department of Justice is steadily releasing declassified documents linked to the deceased financier and paedophile.
    However, both Democratic and Republican lawmakers were quick to point out that many names and pages remain redacted or blacked out. US President Donald Trump's name, meanwhile, has appeared more in the latest tranche of files. How much of a political danger is Mr Trump in?

    After the break, we spoke to a top Hong Kong astro-physicist regarding Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launching the first wheelchair user into space. He also shared with us the most exciting space developments to look forward to in 2026!
    And lastly, we heared more from an infectious diseases expert, after the emergence of a “super flu” gripped headlines worldwide. Local health officials are once again reminding residents to get vaccinated.

    Money scams involving students / Alcohol addiction and labelling

    主持人:Tony Sabine and Car Ha

    On Wednesday's programme, we're about the recent spate of scams targeting students. A 22-year-old mainland student from the University of Hong Kong became the latest victim, after being cheated out of HK$1.8 million by fraudsters purporting to be from the Immigration Department.

    This is not the first time that a mainland student falls prey to scammers. Just last week, an 18-year-old undergrad got cheated out of HK$9.2 million by fraudsters claiming to be mainland enforcement officers.
    In response to these worrying developments, some universities announced that students would be required to complete anti-scam quizzes in a move to get them familiarized with the fraudsters’ techniques.
    In a report released this week, the Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre -- or HKCERT – warned against the “weaponization of AI”, as 2025 could see an increase in AI related attacks.
    After 9:30, we discuss alcohol addiction, as the US surgeon general called for cancer warnings on bottles. How serious of a phenomenon is alcohol addiction here in Hong Kong?
