    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.

    Elderly mental health study / Hong Kong Football Festival / Russian earthquake / We WATCH healthy lifestyle project

    主持人:Azam Khan and John Bruce

    On Thursday's Backchat, we looked at problems associated with an aging population.
    The Yang Memorial Methodist Social Service recently surveyed over 250 retirees, and found that many of them were emotionally and mentally stressed.
    We spoke to an expert behind the survey to find out the reason behind that and what can be done to address the problem?
    We also heard from a Tottenham FC star player, with the Hotspurs in town for the football festival at Kai Tak Stadium.
    After the break, we talked to an expert about Wednesday’s earthquake that hit Russia's Far East -- one of the strongest ever recorded. The tremors triggered a series of tsunami alerts across nations in the Pacific.
    Finally, we learned more about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, after the Jockey Club recently launched a project to help those aged between 35 and 59 avoid chronic diseases.
