On this programme, we hear from a doctor after the SAR activated an "alert" response level following Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.
And then, a marketing expert tells us all about Ocean Park's special HK$2 admission offer for the elderly and disabled to its Water World from May 16th to July the third.
After the break, we take a closer look at research by the Chinese University of Hong Kong that's discovered that a diabetes drug can counteract key hallmarks of ageing across multiple organ systems, and have potential efficacy in patients with severe stroke.
And finally, we learn about an APEC ministerial meeting in Suzhou. The two-day event will cover important issues such as economic integration, supply chain resilience, digital trade and efforts to reduce barriers to cross-border commerce.
