On this programme, we look at the Hong Kong Fashion Fest that opened last week. The two-week event brings together fashion designers and brands from all over the world, turning the city into a fashion design hub in Asia and the centre for international cultural exchange.
After the break, we learn more about a study by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University that has found ways to address social frailty, a growing concern that significantly affects the well-being and health outcomes of elderly people.
And finally, a librarian from the Chinese University of Hong Kong tells us more about how the university's library is applying different technologies to preserve collection materials amid the AI era.
