On Monday's Backchat, we talked to experts about the latest regarding chikungunya fever, after Hong Kong recorded a number of imported cases. We found out whether there's now a higher risk of a local outbreak, and if additional measures are needed to prevent people from getting the mosquito-borne disease.

We also learned about a new AI weather warning system in the mainland called "Mazu", which aims to help developing countries prepare for extreme weather events.


After the break, we turned our attention to the city's first comprehensive exhibition of Mughal art at the Hong Kong Palace Museum where visitors can see over 100 precious artifacts from the Mughal Empire.


And finally, we heard from the owner of Hong Kong's iconic red-sail junk boat "Dukling", about events to mark its 70th anniversary.
