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?
