    AI R&D institute board / HKTDC silver economy survey / Free dementia risk assessment / The 2026 Oscars

    On this programme, we began by looking at the recent appointments made to the Board of Directors of the Hong Kong Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Institute.

    A representative from the Hong Kong Trade and Development Council then told us more about their recent survey that explored the consumption habits of seniors from the mainland.

    After the break, we talked with a Chinese University researcher on how her team successfully used an innovative method to identify people who are at high risk of dementia. The team has also announced the launch of a three-year dementia risk assessment research programme this month that's free of charge.

    And to wrap up the programme, we reviewed the highlights from this year's Oscars.

    Israel-Iran conflict / China-Africa ties / Centre Street Soeng5 Lok6 Festival

    Presenter:Azam Khan

    On today's programme, we delved into the escalating tension in the Middle East. The United Nations is calling for restraint as Israel and Iran continue to exchange fire. China has also expressed concern and condemned Israel’s violations of Iran’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity. Tel Aviv and Tehran traded blows after Israel launched a blistering surprise attack on Iranian nuclear and military sites on Friday, killing several top generals.

    We also heard about China’s growing friendship with African nations. Beijing announced last week it will grant zero tariffs on all tariff lines for the 53 African countries with which it has diplomatic relations. We spoke to an expert to find out about the significance of the move amid rising geopolitical and trade tensions around the globe.

    A the end of the show, we spoke to the organisers of the Centre Street Soeng5 Lok6 Festival.
