    Iran war updates / Hong Kong Science Museum's new exhibits / More snakes spotted in Tseung Kwan O

    On this programme, we looked at the conflict in the Middle East, after US President Donald Trump sent confusing signals hinting that the Iran war could end soon. At the same time, Mr Trump is saying that the US could hit the country “twenty times harder”.

    After the break, a curator from the Hong Kong Science Museum told us more about the three new permanent galleries in the museum that focus on how modern technology, such as AI, robotics, and biotechnology, shapes daily life and future innovations.

    And to wrap it up, a lawmaker and pest control experts gave us some tips on what to do if you see snakes, after some residents in Tseung Kwan O reported a spike in sightings.

    HKTDC's export confidence index / Preventing dental erosion / Art Basel

    Presenters:Tony Sabine and Danny Gittings

    In the first part of Thursday's Backchat, we spoke to the HKTDC about an improvement in local exporters' confidence despite escalating trade tensions between the United States and its major trade partners.

    In our main segment, we discussed the importance of maintaining dental health.

    A recent survey conducted by the Society for Preventive Dentistry revealed that 96 percent of local adults aged between 25 and 45 are suffering from acidic tooth erosion. This marks a 4 percent increase compared to a similar survey conducted 17 years ago.
    The organisation is urging individuals to undergo more frequent dental check-ups, stressing that the condition can be effectively treated if detected early. So what are the key symptoms of tooth erosion? How does it differ from tooth decay? What kinds of treatments are available?
    After 9:45, we spoke to the key players behind this year's Art Basel, which kicks off on Friday.
