    On this programme, we began by looking at the recent appointments made to the Board of Directors of the Hong Kong Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Institute.

    A representative from the Hong Kong Trade and Development Council then told us more about their recent survey that explored the consumption habits of seniors from the mainland.

    After the break, we talked with a Chinese University researcher on how her team successfully used an innovative method to identify people who are at high risk of dementia. The team has also announced the launch of a three-year dementia risk assessment research programme this month that's free of charge.

    And to wrap up the programme, we reviewed the highlights from this year's Oscars.

    On Friday's programme, we talked about McLaren's Lando Norris' first F1 World Drivers' Championship win. A former racing driver discussed the significance of Norris becoming Britain's first world champion since Lewis Hamilton.

    We then turned our attention to the courtroom, where barristers in the UK have won the right to ditch a traditional headpiece: the wig.

     

    After the break, we took a closer look at how people are coping with the world's first social media ban that was earlier implemented in Australia, targeting under 16s.

    And finally, we concluded the show by talking to a historian about a once-in-a-decade Taoist festival to ward off angry spirits.
