    Basketball betting on hold / CUHK head and neck cancer study / Improved Heat Stress at Work Warning system / Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's AI clone

    On this programme, we "bounce" into action with a closer look at the government's recent move to suspend the launch of basketball betting, citing the emergence of prediction markets as a potential gateway to illegal gambling.

    After that, we hear from a study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong's faculty of medicine that found significant regional, age, and gender disparities in head and neck cancer incidence.

    After the break, we talk to a lawmaker on the Labour Department's decision to include monitoring stations in nine more locations to better decide whether to issue a Heat Stress at Work Warning.

    And to wrap up the programme, our AI consultant tells us how Meta is building an AI clone of its CEO Mark Zuckerberg to engage with employees in his stead.

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

    主持人:Brian Wong and Rainbow Leung

    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?

    9:05am-9:30am:

    New batch of Epstein files

    Speakers:

    Josef Gregory Mahoney, Professor in International Relations, East China Normal University (Shanghai)
