    Iran war updates / ComplexCon Hong Kong 2026 / Brain-computer interface system for Parkinson’s disease

    On this programme, we started with the latest developments on the war in the Middle East. Iran says it has control of the The Strait of Hormuz, a key passageway for a fifth of the world's oil, whilst US President Donald Trump has lashed out at a number of allies for rejecting his call to send ships to help keep the Strait open. The US leader also said he needs to postpone his visit to China so he can get a handle on his war, which has escalated to engulf the entire region.

    After the break, we talked to New People's Party Chairwoman Regina Ip about her upcoming panel and fan meet at ComplexCon Hong Kong. The event will see a blend of street culture, sneakers, music, and art as one dynamic experience, as well as high-profile performances from the likes of Jennie from Blackpink.

    And we ended the show hearing from the lead researcher from Polytechnic University who was part of developing a new brain-computer interface for Parkinson's disease patients.
