On this programme, we chat with the head of the Squash Association of Hong Kong, China, which will launch an award scheme to support athletes competing in the upcoming Nagoya Asian Games.
A medical sector lawmaker then joins the show to tell us about the integration of nine Elderly Health Centres into the district health network, starting from October 5.
After the break, a representative from a local think tank will give us an update on the Northern Metropolis after the government awarded the first tender for a major land parcel of the mega-project.
And finally, we end the show by taking a closer look at research by the Polytechnic University which identified how different environments and mental tasks affect a stroke survivor's ability to walk while multitasking, using that data to create custom therapy.

On Friday's Backchat, we took a closer look at why the civil service has been attractive for fresh graduates. This came as the government revealed that its civil service graduate posts received more than 20,000 applicants for a third consecutive year.
The administration has been organising multiple drives in recent years to promote government posts among fresh graduates through promotional activities -- not only in Hong Kong but also on the mainland and overseas. We discussed the recruitment strategy and whether these youngsters will likely stay in the public sector for the long term.
After the news, we talked about the rankings of Hong Kong universities, as six of these institutions made it to the top 200 in a Times Higher Education Ranking.
9:05am-9:30am: Civil service recruitment
