    Two Sessions 2026 / The dayday330 mental health campaign / Francophonie Festival

    On Friday's programme, we looked back at the "Two Sessions"—the plenary meetings of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The gatherings focused on navigating geopolitical uncertainties and strengthening the economy, with discussions on transforming the nation into a technological powerhouse.
    Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang also called on the Hong Kong and Macao SARs to capitalise on the significant opportunities presented by the country's 15th Five-Year Plan, saying that both cities had made comprehensive progress across various fields over the past year.
    After the break, we talked to a representative of a psychological health organisation about a new public awareness event on mental wellbeing.
    And we ended the show by telling you all about the Francophonie Festival, which has been putting on cultural events all month across the city.

    Recovery of animals affected by the Tai Po fire / Scammers preying on fire victims and donors / Power generating kite / Nuclear medicine development

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Rainbow Leung

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we continued to discuss the aftermath of last week's deadly Tai Po blaze. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals - or SPCA - said at least 63 pets were killed in the Wang Fuk Court fire. More than 200 animals have been rescued. We spoke to the deputy director of the animal welfare agency for the latest developments. 

    We then spoke to an expert about scammers who prey on grieving Hongkongers under the guise of donations and relief efforts. Authorities have called on members of the public to be on guard against phishing text messages and websites. 

    After the break, we looked into a cutting edge type of renewable energy which China recently made a breakthrough in. It recently deployed the world's largest power-generating kite.

    And we also learn more from new developments on nuclear medicine - another potential game changer for treating cancer. The University of Hong Kong has been heavily involved in its research, and may support local production of the medicine.
