    Recorded rainfall in July / Ani-Com and Games Hong Kong 2026 / No autism ADHD risk from paracetamol / HKPM's MoU with Uzbek cultural centre / Identifying fertile sperm using AI

    On this programme, we speak with a weather expert ahead of a windy weekend, as Tropical Cyclone Noul heads towards Hong Kong. We also discuss why it's been such a rainy July.

    Then, we find out more about the annual Ani-Com and Games fair that's kicking off at the Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai today.

    After that, we learn about a major University of Hong Kong study which found that using common painkillers during pregnancy don't incrase the risk of autism or ADHD in children...

    After the break, the director of the Hong Kong Palace Museum tell us more details about the Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan.

    And finally, AI is truly everywhere -- Hong Kong University researchers have developed the world's first AI tool to identify fertile sperm to improve IVF outcomes.

    Attracting overnight high spenders / Michelin Guide Hong Kong & Macau 2026 / "Set-jetting" tourism in South Korea / UK meningitis outbreak

    Presenters:Azam Khan and John Bruce

    On this programme, we looked at the Hong Kong Tourism Board's decision to allocate 75 percent of its resources to overseas markets this year, in a shift aimed at diversifying visitor demographics and attracting more overnight high spenders.
    A dining veteran then told more about the Michelin Guide for Hong Kong & Macau 2026 which was unveiled last week. A total of 77 restaurants in Hong Kong earned the coveted Michelin-star recognition, surpassing last year’s record and underscoring the world‑class standard of the city's culinary culture.
    After the break, we told you all about a major "set-jetting" tourism wave to Seoul. Global travel to South Korea has sky-rocketed, partly triggered by the widely celebrated movie K-Pop Demon Hunters.
    And finally, we brought you the latest on the outbreak of the invasive meningitis disease in Kent. The Centre for Health Protection says it's following up with health authorities in the UK to make sure Hongkongers are kept out of harm's way.
