On this programme, we first look at the latest Global Innovation Index as the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou cluster retains its top spot in 2026 for the second-straight year.
Then, we hear from a doctor on why members of the public who have had sex should undergo HIV antibody testing at least once to prevent HIV transmission in the community.
After the break, a scholar from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology will tell us how he and his team have developed an innovative testing platform that could transform highly sensitive nucleic acid testing from a laboratory-based procedure into a simple, single-step test that can be performed at home.
And to wrap up the show, we learned why the United Nations General Assembly has backed a resolution spearheaded by several African countries to adopt a map that makes their continent bigger while shrinking North America and Europe.

On Monday's Backchat, we looked at the latest development in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Last Thursday, Israel and Hamas agreed on the first phase of US President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan. Hamas would release all 20 living hostages in exchange for 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. Israeli troops also began pulling back from some parts of Gaza last Friday.
We talked to experts on what comes next in the ceasefire deal, and whether Palestinians in Gaza will see long-term peace soon.
And after the break, we learnt more about the new art walk in the Southern District that'll be launched by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
The event's curator told us how they would tell the story of the area's history through interactive artworks.
