AI IPO market boost / Rise of Reform UK / Lunar robot breakthrough

On Thursday's programme, we looked at 2026's burgeoning Hong Kong IPO market, which has seen multiple mainland tech firms making strong debuts in the past weeks.

After the break, we turned our attention to the United Kingdom, where politician Nigel Farage's right-wing Reform UK is seemingly gaining momentum, after a former high-level government minister defected to his party.

And finally, the head of a space project at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology told us about the SAR's role in developing a mutifunctional robot that will help the nation's future lunar missions.
