    M+ Museum collaboration with France's Centre Pompidou / US "anti-weaponisation" freeze / Students at risk of "hidden disengagement" / Laos cave rescue

    On this programme, we hear from the M+ Museum Director on the multi-year strategic partnership they signed with the renowned Centre Pompidou in France that aims to strengthen cultural exchange between Asia and Europe.

    We then chat with a professor of politics on Donald Trump's administration decision to temporarily suspend its 1.8 billion US dollar "anti-weaponisation" slush fund. It was initially intended to settle a lawsuit by the US leader with the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax returns.

    After the break, we look into a survey by a local NGO that found one in 12 students were at risk of 'hidden disengagement' behaviour they refer to as pupils who attend school but display withdrawn or passive behaviour.

    And finally, a local caving expert will share with us the difficulties and risks that come with venturing into caverns. It comes as two people are reportedly still trapped in a flooded cave in Laos.

    High Seas Treaty / Police drone patrols expanding / Kadoorie Farm's "Nature Treasure Hunt"

    Presenters:Brian Wong and Rainbow Leung

    On Friday's programme, we began the show by talking to some environment scholars about the High Seas Treaty that came into effect this month. The treaty provides countries with a legally binding framework to tackle threats like overfishing and meet the target of protecting 30 percent of oceans by 2030.
    After the break, we looked at efforts to bolster law enforcement in Hong Kong. The police will expand their drone patrol programme to the Peak, Cheung Chau and Lamma Island to enhance crime prevention, crowd control and traffic monitoring capabilities.
    Wrapping up our programme, we talked to a wildlife rehabilitation expert from the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden about the park's latest project to promote nature conservation.
