    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.

    AI Action Summit / Valentine's Day dating trends

    Presenters:Brian Wong and John Bruce

    On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus talks about the Paris AI Action Summit, which gathered dozens of political and tech heavyweights in the French capital earlier this week.

    60 countries including China signed the final statement of the French hosted forum, agreeing to make artificial intelligence (AI) inclusive, open ethical and safe.
    This comes as governments around the world began setting-up frameworks to regulate the technology. But the UK and the US refused to sign the statement, with Britain adding that issues of national security were not properly addressed. US Vice-President JD Vance justified his refusal to sign the agreement blaming “massive regulations” from the EU, which he says could “kill” AI.
    After 9:45, we look into this year’s Valentine’s Day trends.
