    British PM Keir Starmer's China visit / Carlos Alcaraz won the Australian Open / Pet Show 2026

    On Wednesday's programme, we looked at British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's visit to China last week. His visit was the first to Beijing by a UK leader in eight years, following in the footsteps of other Western leaders looking to deepen cooperation with China. He met President Xi Jinping, and the leaders signed a number of economic deals, as well as an agreement for visa-free travel to China for British Passport holders. 
    After the break, we spoke with the President of the Hong Kong, China Tennis Association on Spanish ace Carlos Alcaraz becoming the youngest career grand slam winner after lifting his maiden Australian Open title.
    And finally, we runned through some of the highlights from a recent pet show at the Convention and Exhibition Centre, which featured over a thousand exhibitors, alongside dogs and cats.

    HKUST to run city's third medical school / Hiccup at Egyptian exhibition as crowd surges / Make Waves for Hong Kong 2025

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Ada Wong

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we brought you the latest on Hong Kong's education landscape. After an eight-month race, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has been given the approval from the government to establish the city's third medical school. Secretary for Health Lo Chung-mau earlier said HKUST’s proposal ranked higher than the other two contenders – Baptist and Polytechnic universities – citing the Clear Water Bay institution's strengths in strategy, funding and research. We spoke to the university's Dean of Science and a patients' representative to find out more about the project.

    After the break, we chatted with the director of the Hong Kong Palace Museum about its ancient Egypt exhibition. The showcase received an overwhelmingly popular response by the public, leading to some crowd management disruptions over last weekend.

    Lastly, we dived into a charity swim event slated for November 27. "Make Waves for Hong Kong" will see some 30 swimmers relay swim around Hong Kong Island.
