    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.

    Basic Housing Units / Labubu craze / Microplastics awareness survey / Month of Portugal

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Ada Wong

    On Tuesday's programme, we talked about the government’s drive to improve living conditions for people who live in subdivided flats. New regulations to be brought in will mandate basic requirements for shoebox flats – including on size, height, and things like requiring windows and toilets in each unit. The first step is for landlords whose flats don’t currently fulfil these new requirements to start registering with authorities next year, before making the needed renovations. We talked to a lawmaker to see how things are going.

    We also looked into the Labubu craze that has taken the world by storm.

    We then spoke to experts about the dangers of microplastics before finding out all about the “Month of Portugal” in Macau.
