    New batch of Epstein files / Record high Belt and Road investment figures / Social network for AI agents

    On Friday's programme, we began with a closer look at the latest tranche of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The millions of documents released by the US Department of Justice contained the names of the rich and the powerful, from Elon Musk to Bill Gates, Republicans, Democrats, British politicians, Israeli intelligence agents, among others.

    We then talked to experts on what the implications are, and if Epstein's victims are any closer to getting justice.

    After the break, we heard from a scholar about how the Belt and Road Initiative was able to hit a record-high last year in total investment and construction. The mega-project has seen a deepening of economic cooperation in Africa and Central Asia.

    And lastly, we talked with our tech correspondent and learn all about 'Moltbook', a social media platform that's designed for AI agents. Should we be amused, or afraid?

    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?
