On this programme, we hear from Hong Kong-born conductor Elim Chan on how she broke the classical music's longstanding glass ceiling to become the next music director of the San Francisco Symphony and the first woman to lead a major US orchestra.
We then dig deeper into research by the Chinese University of Hong Kong that found mangroves can removing nitrogen pollutants from coastal waters efficiently.
After the break, we learn all about the inaugural WestK Cabaret Festival - The nine-day event will bring together headline stars and performing groups from all across the globe.
And to wrap up the show, we dive into football action, after French giant Paris Saint-Germain won their second consecutive Champions League title following a penalty shoot out victory against Arsenal last week.
