    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.

    On Monday's Backchat, we took a close look at what came out of the China-EU Summit last week.
