On this programme, we speak to a lawmaker about the government considering to expand the buyout plan for Wang Fuk Court to cover the only building in the residential estate not to have been affected by November's inferno.
We then talk to another lawmaker about a potential expansion of a proposed pilot scheme that would see the private sector manage certain public beaches.
After the break, we learn all about how a rescue team from Ocean Park successfully performed a world-first surgery on a cownose ray, after it suffered from a life-threatening gastric rupture.
And to wrap-up, we learn more about this year's GBA Fashion Fusion in Shenzhen, where four local fashion designers and graduates joined the project in the hopes of promoting their work on the mainland.
