Presenters：Mike Rowse and Rainbow Leung

On Thursday's Backchat, we looked at a new police mobile app, which will be launched on August 10. The force says it will be a one-stop-shop where users can report crimes or make enquiries.

We also heard from the Kai Tak Sports Park about new outdoor facilities there that can host multiple sports.

After the break, we talked to a think-tank about Shanghai's plan to build five new large-scale data centres.

And finally, an expert shared his experience from the first Clinical Education Conference hosted by the Polytechnic University’s Department of Rehabilitation Sciences.
