On Monday's Backchat, we looked into the warning from the World Health Organization, after it released a report calling for an urgent boost in neurological care.
The WHO said less than one in three countries around the world has a national policy to address the growing burden of neurological disorders, responsible for over 11 million deaths globally each year. We talked to experts and found out what can be done to address the issue - and what may happen if we don't.
After the break, we learned more about Diwali or Deepavali -- the Festival of Lights. The five-day festival is the most important holiday for Hindus. South Asian communities in Hong Kong will hold celebrations across the city this week.
Finally, we looked back at a charity football match featuring legendary players like Steven Gerrard and Rio Ferdinand, which took place at Kai Tak Stadium on Saturday. We talked to local support club members of Manchester United and Liverpool.
