    Water seepage detection mechanism / Dengue fever risk / El Niño forecasts / Beijing humanoid robot marathon

    On this programme, a building surveyor tells us how a slate of new measures by the government is going to result in accurate and earlier detection of water seepages.The move is to streamline investigations that authorities are mulling as part of a pilot scheme to encourage landlords to address water leaks as soon as possible.

    We then talk with a doctor on potential dengue fever risks after Hong Kong recorded first local case this year.

    After the break, we focus on climate change, as scientists recently had forecast a moderate-or-stronger El Niño weather event in the coming months. A meteorologist will share his insights on how the event could raise the risk of higher global temperatures and extreme weather.

    And to wrap up the show, we learn all about a humanoid robot in Beijing that smashed the human half-marathon world record.

    US tariffs / Diving safety

    主持人:Azam Khan and Mike Rowse

    US President Donald Trump earlier rolled out sweeping tariffs targeting most countries, including some of America’s closest allies. Analysts have called this move the most protectionist action taken by a US government in a century.

    Despite growing criticism at home and abroad, President Trump is defending his position, arguing that the policies of other countries have been "unjust" to the United States.
    Tariffs are hitting as high as 34 percent on goods from China, 24 percent on products from Japan, and 20 percent on the European Union. This dramatic yet expected shift has sent shockwaves through global markets and sparked fierce criticism from the affected nations.
    Beijing is already retaliating with 34 percent additional tariffs on US imports. In a statement published by the Xinhua News Agency, the central government urged the US to stop using tariffs as a "weapon to suppress China’s economy and trade", adding that Washington was undermining the rules-based multilateral trading system.
    Meanwhile, here in Hong Kong — which is recognised as a separate customs territory from the mainland — Financial Secretary Paul Chan said that there will be no countermeasures implemented for now. He also reassured investors that the SAR remains committed to keeping the flow of capital free, despite US pressure.

    In the latter part of the show, we spoke to a veteran diver, after a Hong Kong woman died in the Philippines during a highly demanding technical dive.
