On this programme, we learn more about Shamonda virus, after France reported the first known human fatality associated with the disease. It marks a significant shift for a pathogen previously known to affect only livestock, including cattle and sheep.
We then recap this year's Ballon d'Or after Harry Kane become the first English player to win the award in 25 years.
After the break, we shift our focus to the world famous Disgusting Food Museum, which opened an exhibition in Hong Kong for the first time.
And to wrap up the show, we look back at the Chinese University's new flagship innovation and entrepreneurship event where scholars, researchers, students and alumni from the university showcased their breakthroughs.
