South Korea's stock market volatility / Hepatitis B screening / Hong Kong eyes more fencing events / Thai Civil Service exam fraud

On this show, we first turn our attention to South Korea's stock market, after it experienced extreme volatility in the past few months as the sell-off in AI stocks intensifies.

A doctor then tells us more about hepatitis B and the importance of getting early screening to avoid developing more severe conditions and diseases.

After the break, we find out how the SAR can host more fencing events in the future, as the men's foil team earlier secured a historic silver at the Fencing World Championships that was held in the city.

And to wrap up the show, we learn all about a massive civil service exam fraud that was under investigation in Thailand, with nearly 6,000 local officials facing suspension.
