On this programme, we talk about the redeveloped Huanggang port which opened yesterday. The new facility is now operating after a series of tests and trials. It's providing 24-hour clearance services for passengers and passenger vehicles. Many travellers have praised its convenience as it is the first border checkpoint between the SAR and the mainland to use a “joint clearance” immigration system.

We then hear about a new AI-driven magnetic tracking technology developed by the Chinese University, which can advance the use of micro-robots in surgery.

After the break, an engineer tells us what can be done to enhance building safety after two construction incidents involving steel bar shortages.

Wrapping up our programme, we look at a survey which found that one in five people in the world have suffered from hives.
