On this programme, we reflect on the legacy of former premier Zhu Rongji, a pivotal architect of China's economic policy, who passed away in Beijing on Wednesday.
We then learn more about the Hong Kong Palace Museum's new special exhibition that brings together traditional Chinese culture and modern artistic expression.
After the break, we chat with an engineer to find out how the city can better prepare for higher energy demand caused by the extreme heat.

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.
