    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.

    CE John Lee's Zhejiang visit / Cathay Pacific's March performance / Housing trend report / Cinema Day

    Presenters:Brian Wong and CM Chan

    In the first part of Friday's Backchat, we talked about Chief Executive John Lee's visit to Zhejiang, where he met with representatives of six start-ups, otherwise known as the Six Little Dragons.

    The CE called for more cooperation between IT enterprises in Zhejiang and Hong Kong, and more joint projects to be launched.
    Following the news, we looked at the state of the city's aviation sector, as Hong Kong's flagship carrier — Cathay Pacific — announced a 19.8 percent year-on-year increase in passenger numbers for March, reaching 2.25 million.
    Meanwhile, its cargo arm saw a growth of 10.6 percent year-on-year, totalling nearly 150,000 tonnes.
    In the latter part of the programme, we heard about the findings of a new housing trend report, and found out more about "Cinema Day" that's coming up next month.
