On Thursday's Backchat, we followed-up on the tragic blaze in Tai Po. Chief Executive John Lee earlier announced the establishment of an independent committee, led by a judge, to look into the cause of the Wang Fuk Court fire that has claimed at least 159 lives so far. We spoke to a lawmaker and former security minister on the role of this committee, and how it can help with the investigation.
We'll then turn our attention to space after Chinese scientists identified “iron rust” in lunar soil samples brought back by the Chang’e-6 mission last year. Experts say this may change the traditional understanding of the moon’s surface chemistry and offer new clues to better explain lunar magnetic anomalies.
After the break, we talked to an aviation expert after Airbus says it will inspect hundreds of A320 planes due to a "supplier quality issue" with metal panels.
To wrap it all up, a tech expert explained the challenges that Wikipedia faces in the rapid rise of artificial intelligence.
