Zohran Mamdani's New York mayoral win / Day of the Dead / Shenzhou-21 docking
On Friday's Backchat, we looked at the historic New York City mayoral win by 34-year old Zohran Mamdani. He became the first African-born, and the first of South Asian descent to take up the post that oversees the largest city in the United States. His victory was part of a Democratic sweep of several key district elections.
The self-styled socialist-democrat has already announced an all-female transition team as he prepares for New York mayoralty. What challenges will he face in implementing his progressive policies? We found out.
After the break, we learned more about the "Day of Dead", or in Spanish, ''Dia de Muertos'. It's a celebration to honour those who've passed away, and was marked last weekend by Mexico, Latin America and the Philippines.
And finally, we heard from a top astro-physicist in the city about the latest developments regarding the Shenzhou-21, China's crewed spaceflight that recently docked at Tianggong space-station in record time.

Experts also gave us their take on the property market, after Hong Kong logged its biggest gains so far this year for lived-in home prices last month.
After the break, we spoke to Polytechnic University researchers who told us how they're pushing the boundaries in generative artificial intelligence - or Gen-AI. Their 'eureka' moment could lead to reducing costs and the democratisation of AI research.
