Hong Kong judges challenge jailed political party chief’s appeal argument
香港一名主张独立的政党领袖因煽动分裂国家罪被判刑五年，他对判决提出上诉，但法官质疑其律师提出的国家安全法不适用于某些阴谋犯罪的论点。该领袖名为Joseph John，他承认曾在社交媒体上发布煽动性内容，包括呼吁外国军队进驻香港和废除《中英联合声明》。
区域法院法官林锦鸿最初设定的刑期起点为78个月，但考虑到煽动分裂国家罪的严重性，最终判处五年监禁，这是该罪行的法定最低刑期。案件的争议点在于，香港国安法对煽动分裂国家罪有明确量刑规定，但对“阴谋煽动分裂国家罪”没有明确规定，因此律师主张应根据香港本地法例量刑，而非国安法。

Hong Kong may limit use of HK$2 fare to 8 times per day on average: sources
香港政府提议限制长者及残疾人士的“二元乘车优惠计划”，每月最多使用240次，或平均每日8次。同时，超过10港元的车程，使用者需支付20%的费用。此举预计每年可为政府节省1亿至3亿港元。
消息人士称，引入20%的共同支付是为了减少乘客“长途短用”的情况，因为政府需要补贴运营商差额。限制乘车次数是为了应对过度使用优惠的情况。过去五年，政府对交通运营商的补贴金额增长超过200%，从2019-20年度的12亿港元增至2023-24年度的39亿港元。

Pope Francis still fighting pneumonia after a week in hospital
Pope Francis is showing signs of improvement after a week in the hospital, having gotten up for breakfast Friday morning. The 88-year-old pontiff is being treated for pneumonia and a complex respiratory infection that developed after a case of bronchitis worsened.
While the Vatican reported a "slight improvement" in his overall condition and noted his heart is functioning well, it remains uncertain how effective the drug therapies will be. Doctors have indicated that recovery from pneumonia in a patient of his age and condition could take up to two weeks. The situation has also prompted discussion among cardinals about the possibility of Francis resigning if his health deteriorates to the point where he can no longer fulfill his duties, a possibility he has previously acknowledged.

In battle against scams, Malaysians are now armed with a chatbot to waste fraudsters’ time
A new AI chatbot called "Sohai" has been launched in Malaysia to combat online scams by wasting scammers' time with endless, nonsensical conversations. Developed by AI entrepreneur Dylan Tan, Sohai, which means "idiot" in Cantonese, aims to frustrate scammers and prevent them from targeting real victims.
Online scams are a significant problem in Southeast Asia, with billions of dollars lost annually. In Malaysia alone, victims lost millions to Facebook scams in 2023. Sohai works by providing scammers with a phone number linked to the AI, which then engages them in a never-ending loop of excuses, delays, and questions, similar to a previous UK pilot project. The goal is to annoy scammers to the point where they give up, thereby protecting potential victims.

Why isn’t Hong Kong a test bed for China’s green energy innovations?
Japan is investing US$1.5 billion in perovskite solar cells, a technology with the potential to revolutionize renewable energy. These ultra-thin, light, and flexible solar cells offer a compelling alternative to traditional silicon-based panels, which are rigid, heavy, and require large land areas.
Perovskite solar cells are generating excitement due to their versatility and potential applications. They can be applied to various surfaces, including buildings, stadiums, and even wearable devices, making electricity generation more accessible. Furthermore, their resilience to radiation makes them particularly attractive for use in space, potentially opening new avenues for solar power generation.

Hong Kong health authorities dismiss concerns over hospital clusters revamp
香港卫生部门驳斥了重组香港岛公共医疗服务的计划会增加患者就医距离的担忧。卫生局局长卢宠茂在立法会会议上表示，合并港岛东西联网的计划不会导致任何医院关闭，该计划是由于人口分布变化而推动的。他强调，常规医疗服务将得到维持，患者无需长途跋涉。
医院管理局将香港的公立医院划分为七个地理“联网”，港岛有两个。政府预计到2031年，港岛人口将减少12万，大致相当于一个联网服务的人口规模。卢宠茂补充说，只有专业服务、手术和治疗可能会进行调整，以集中资源提高质量，但这些服务无论重组与否，都将集中在特定地点，例如玛丽医院的胸痛中心，这不仅能确保更好的服务，还能在医护人员短缺的情况下，帮助医生进行专业培训。

Fading fortunes of India’s Bollywood in streaming era spark political debate
Bollywood is at the center of a heated debate regarding the Indian government's financial support, or lack thereof, for the film industry.

People can spread bird flu to their cats, US study suggests
美国疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC) 的一项研究表明，人们可能会将禽流感传染给家猫，导致致命后果。该研究发布于周四，主要基于 2024 年 5 月密歇根州的两个家庭案例，当时人们越来越担心该病毒可能发生变异并引发人类大流行。
研究显示，受感染的猫也可能是因为食用了受病毒污染的宠物食品，并且病毒可以在收容所的“大型猫科动物”之间传播。这两个案例中的宠物主人都在受禽流感影响的奶牛场工作或居住在附近，最终都导致了受感染猫科动物的死亡。
