On Tuesday's Backchat, we talked about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, an American political advocate, whose death has shocked the United States.
Two scholars, one of whom was a former American judge, shared their thoughts on the development, which is the latest in a string of political violence incidents targeting politicians, including US President Donald Trump.
After the break, a Macau analyst looked into the relationship between China and Portugal. It comes after Portuguese Prime Minister Luís Montenegro visited our neighbouring SAR.
And finally, we learnt more about how a new anti-smoking bill is expected to further reduce the number of smokers in the city.
