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.
