    Wang Fuk Court buyout plan / Private management of beaches / World’s first cownose ray surgery / GBA Fashion Fusion

    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.

    Taxi e-payment rules / OpenAI's Pentagon deal / Gen Z emotional distress survey / Combatting rising obesity

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Ada Wong

    On this programme, we started things off with a closer look at an upcoming regulation that made the availability of electronic payments mandatory for all taxis. From April 1st, all taxi drivers in Hong Kong will be required to offer at least one QR-code-based and one non-QR-code electronic payment method.
    We then heard from our tech correspondent about OpenAI’s controversial deal with the Pentagon to use its models for US defense systems. The US military had blacklisted OpenAI’s rival Anthropic, deeming it a “security risk”. The move came after Anthropic refused to cross ethical boundaries, including using AI tools for the purpose of fully autonomous weapons without human oversight.
    After the break, we chatted with a representative from the Mental Health Association about a recent survey by the organisation which found that over 40 percent of Gen Z in the city had been affected by emotional distress.
    And lastly, we heard from a senior health official about a new government initiative that aimed to combat rising obesity rates in Hong Kong.
