On this programme, we first discuss the US midterm election results, where Democrats have won control of both the Senate and House in a landslide victory. How will the results shake things up for the rest of President Trump's term, and what will they mean for Trump's power?
After the break, we look into an initiative from the Chinese University of Hong Kong that identifies early dementia risks and helps the elderly improve their cognitive performance to feel roughly three years younger.
And finally, we learn more about a scheme from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University that will invite internationally renowned scholars and distinguished experts to Hong Kong to pursue frontier research and high-level academic exchange.
