Then, an AI expert will tell us whether existing regulations properly safeguard the intellectual property rights of celebrities.

After the break, we'll learn more about China's energy development plan for the next five years, which is said to enter a new stage featuring scale expansion, quality improvement and reliable substitution.

And finally, we'll chat with a lawmaker after local breweries recently urged the government to issue a new license allowing so customers can enjoy a drink on site, inside the taproom.

We'll have more AI discussion with a professor from Hong Kong Polytechnic University on her team's AI agent that can more accurately predict conditions like chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes, over the next 10 years.

After the break, we'll explore how parents can encourage children to prioritize exercise, especially as long study hours leave students in the city with little free time.

And finally, we'll chat with the leader of a project that uses adaptive sports to improve the physical and mental well-being of kids with disabilities and special educational needs.
