    Wang Fuk Court buyout plan / Private sector to operate public beaches / World’s first cownose ray surgery / GBA Fashion Fusion

    On this programme, we speak to a lawmaker about the government considering to expand the buyout plan for Wang Fuk Court to cover the only building in the residential estate not to have been affected by November's inferno.

    We then talk to another lawmaker about a potential expansion of a proposed pilot scheme that would see the private sector manage certain public beaches. 

    After the break, we learn all about how a rescue team from Ocean Park successfully performed a world-first surgery on a cownose ray, after it suffered from a life-threatening gastric rupture.

    Australian PM's China visit / CUHK's new surgical tool treating ischemic strokes / Cloud seeding technology / Chikungunya fever

    Presenters:Azam Khan and John Bruce

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we started off with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's recent state visit to China, his second in as many years. A number of trade agreements were signed and both sides agreed on the importance of deepening diplomatic and economic cooperation. We spoke to an expert about the significance of the trip.
    We then learnt about a new, state-of-the-art device developed by the Chinese University of Hong Kong that treats a form of stroke.
    After the break, we heard from a meteorologist on cloud seeding, a decades old weather modification technique -- and found out whether it's capable of triggering natural disasters. It came after rumours spread online that cloud seeding was to blame for the deadly flash floods in Central Texas earlier this month.

    Finally, we wrapped up the programme by speaking to the Centre for Health Protection about Chikungunya fever-- a mosquito borne disease that's caused an outbreak in neighbouring Guangdong.
