On this programme, we first focus on the situation in Venezuela, where numerous nations, including China, are sending aid and special teams to assist the South American country that was rocked by two major earthquakes last week. Rescuers are working around the clock to find survivors, as interim President Delcy Rodriguez has called for national unity through the difficult times.
We then learn more about the dangers of of keeping rare animals as pets, after an injured juvenile crocodile was found on the balcony of a Sham Shui Po flat.
After the break, we find out how accepting specific language proficiency results in Urdu and Hindi of the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination will foster multilingualism and broaden career options for students.
And to wrap up the show, we hear from our AI consultant after China's supercomputer "Lineshine" surpassed its US counterpart, topping the world's supercomputer ranking.
