    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.

    We then remained in the medical field and learned about a breakthrough treatment for joint damage from a form of arthritis.
    After the break, we shifted our attention to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, where the Brics summit concluded.
