    On this programme, we learned more about a breakthrough supplement that has shown success in reducing anxiety and sensory hypersensitivity in children.
    After that, we switched gears to look at the largest disruption to global air transport since the Covid pandemic, following the US and Israel's attacks on Iran. In Hong Kong, dozens of flights to the Middle East have been cancelled.

    Consumer Electronics Show / Obesity trends / EU-Mercosur deal and French protests

    主持人:Brian Wong and John Bruce

    On Friday's programme, we began the show by talking about Hong Kong's involvement at the Consumer Electronics Show in the US, one of the world's largest tech conventions.

    We then focused on health, because a study has found that nearly one in two people in the SAR is overweight, or obese.

    After the break, we turned to France, where the government faces renewed political pressure following large-scale protests against the EU-Mercosur trade deal. The agreement was approved despite France’s opposition in the EU Council. Can French President Emmanuel Macron withstand another political crisis?
