    Global Innovation Index / HIV test drive / HKUST develops innovative virus testing platform / UN adopts new world map

    On this programme, we first look at the latest Global Innovation Index as the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou cluster retains its top spot in 2026 for the second-straight year.

    Then, we hear from a doctor on why members of the public who have had sex should undergo HIV antibody testing at least once to prevent HIV transmission in the community.

    After the break, a scholar from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology will tell us how he and his team have developed an innovative testing platform that could transform highly sensitive nucleic acid testing from a laboratory-based procedure into a simple, single-step test that can be performed at home.

    And to wrap up the show, we learned why the United Nations General Assembly has backed a resolution spearheaded by several African countries to adopt a map that makes their continent bigger while shrinking North America and Europe.

    URA's new tendering platform set to launch / Shau Kei Wan water burst / China-Thailand high speed rail / Global viral genomic blueprint development

    主持人:Philip Wong and John Bruce

    On this programme, we chat with a surveyor to learn about a new tendering platform that is set to be launched by the Urban Renewal Authority in the fourth quarter of this year. The platform is aimed at curbing bid-rigging and increase transparency of building maintenance contracts.

    An engineer then tell us all about the recent water supply cuts in Shau Kei Wan that affected residents and businesses for more than 20 hours, re-igniting discussions over the city's ageing water pipes.

    After the break, we turn our attention to Thailand as the kingdom's government aims to complete the construction of a 250km section of a high-speed rail line that will connect it to China by 2030, after Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul concluded a five-day visit to the country.

    And finally, we look at a study by a research team from the University of Hong Kong that has developed a global viral genomic blueprint, targetting surveillance at two major aviation hubs to accelerate the detection of future pandemic variants.
