On this programme, we recap Chief Executive John Lee's visit to Central Asia, which he declared a major success, inking a total of 96 memoranda of understanding and partnership agreements, worth roughly 1.65 billion US dollars.
After that, a tour operator tells us how the CE's visit help boost tourism on both sides. The SAR government and Uzbekistan agreed to begin discussions on further relaxing travel arrangements, including visa-free stays for up to 30 days.
After the break, we chat with a lawmaker after the government said it will launch five more Community Living Rooms by the end of the year, bringing the total number to 18.
And finally, we dig into a study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong that looks to alleviate the impact of heat on the city's elderly.
