On Monday's Backchat, we talked to the professors who were behind the first study on cancer led by a team of Chinese scholars that's been published on the prestigious Lancet medical journal.
They shared their findings on ways to prevent liver cancer through changes to lifestyle and diet.
After the break, we spoke to a representative from the Travel Industry Council about the SAR's first ever hot air balloon festival that will be held later this month.
She and a scholar specialising in tourism discussed how the event will be changing Hong Kong's skyline.
