A Chair Professor at the University of Hong Kong's Department of Social Work and Social Administration says the Covid pandemic was a major driving force behind the increase in suicides among older people, as it created a lot of worries and anxieties for them. His comment came after the Samaritan Befrienders revealed that a record number of elderly people took their lives last year.

The Financial Secretary says Hong Kong’s economy is still on the road to improvement but growth may have slowed in the three months to June this year. Paul Chan issued the warning ahead of the release on Monday of the government's advance estimate of second quarter GDP. Mike Weeks reports:

The total assets of Hong Kong's Mandatory Provident Fund stood at $1.11 trillion at the end of the last financial year, down slightly from a year earlier.

Millions of people in the United States have been suffering through a weekend of brutally hot temperatures and oppressive humidity, as an unrelenting heat wave settled over the Midwest and East Coast. More than 175 million people were under excessive heat warnings and advisories as temperatures in many spots rose well above 38 degrees celsius.
