    On this programme, we first looked at the latest economic situation in the SAR after Hong Kong’s economy grew 5.2 percent, year on year, in the third quarter, and authorities said the city could record its strongest full-year economic growth in five years. An expert outlined the driving factors and potential challenges.
    Then, we learned more about an AI-powered exercise system designed by Hong Kong Metropolitan University's researchers to protect children's spinal health.
    After the break, we chatted with a think tank about how local universities excelled in the latest QS Asia University Rankings, as well as the progress being made on the Northern Metropolis's three university towns.
    And finally, we recapped on Portugal legend Cristiano Ronaldo's international career after he announced last week that it's time to him back the iconic number seven shirt and pass it on to the next generation.

    Epstein files release / First wheelchair user traveled to space / Protections against "super flu"

    主持人:Azam Khan and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we started by speaking to experts about the latest Epstein Files. Mandated by a new law, the US Department of Justice is steadily releasing declassified documents linked to the deceased financier and paedophile.
    However, both Democratic and Republican lawmakers were quick to point out that many names and pages remain redacted or blacked out. US President Donald Trump's name, meanwhile, has appeared more in the latest tranche of files. How much of a political danger is Mr Trump in?

    After the break, we spoke to a top Hong Kong astro-physicist regarding Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launching the first wheelchair user into space. He also shared with us the most exciting space developments to look forward to in 2026!
    And lastly, we heared more from an infectious diseases expert, after the emergence of a “super flu” gripped headlines worldwide. Local health officials are once again reminding residents to get vaccinated.

    Jeffrey Swartz, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the Cooley Law School and former Miami Judge
