    Hong Kong records warmest ever October / Australia returns two ancient Chinese stone sculptures / Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair / Hung Hom waterfront revised plan

    On this programme, we speak with a climate expert as Hong Kong recorded its warmest October since records began in 1884. The Observatory said it was "unreasonably warm" last month with an average temperature of 27.6 degrees Celsius.

    Then, an anthropologist discusses the significance of cultural heritage repatriation as Australia has recently returned two ancient stone sculptures to China after more than 30 years abroad.

    After the break, we find out more about the Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair that kicks off tomorrow at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

    And finally, the chairman of the Harbourfront Comission will tell us about the revised plan for the Hung Hom waterfront. How can the plan inject vitality into the neighbourhood?

    Discovery Bay taxi proposal / 51st International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva / Primary school mergers

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Ada Wong

    On this programme, we looked at how taxis may soon be allowed into Discovery Bay. Plans are in the pipeline to add more taxi stands, and allow door-to-door drop-off access. The proposal is currently being considered by the Discovery Bay City Owners' Committee, drawing mixed reactions from residents.

    We then heard from members of a Hong Kong delegation that attended the International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva, in Switzerland. The cohort comprising universities, tech companies and public bodies, won nearly 300 prizes.

    And finally, we looked at new regulations by the Education Bureau to encourage primary schools that do not have enough students to merge. The bureau said that for the upcoming academic year, 15 schools will be unable to operate a primary one class due to a lack of pupils.
