A government working group has unveiled the first batch of tourist attractions earmarked under a development blueprint aimed at luring visitors away from the traditional sightseeing hotspots. Under the so-called "tourism is everywhere" concept, visitors will soon be able to step inside the popular old Yau Ma Tei police station, take an in-depth tour of Kowloon City, or get out to the countryside. Kelly Yu reports.

A Kowloon City district councillor says government plans to boost in-depth tourism in the neighbourhood can target visitors interested in culture and history. Rizwan Ullah also says it's important to promote cultural tourism. Developing the district is part of nine projects set to be launched from this quarter, to attract more tourists to Hong Kong. For Kowloon City, it will feature iconic scenes from the hit movie "Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In", while allowing visitors to re-live the old days through augmented reality technology. Mr Ullah spoke to Frank Yung:

Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit Hong Kong next week. He'll attend the signing ceremony of the Convention on the Establishment of the International Organisation for Mediation, an event that the SAR government says it'll be fully prepared for. Frank Yung has details.

The city's jobless rate has edged higher, to 3.4 percent. And as Elvis Yu reports, the labour minister believes mega events organised by the government - as well as an influx of visitors - would provide support for the job market moving forward.

Chief Executive John Lee says subsidiary laws on national security had to be enacted quickly because security risks are like viruses that can cause harm at any time.

Police say drones will be deployed for daily patrols at the Border District and Kowloon West Region starting Friday, marking the launch of a pilot programme aimed at advancing digital policing through innovative technology. The three-month initiative also seeks to streamline frontline officer deployment and boost operational efficiency.

The United Nations says no aid has yet been distributed in the Gaza Strip. That's a day after Israel allowed limited humanitarian deliveries to resume after an 11-week blockade on the Palestinian enclave. Israel has said its blockade is aimed in part at preventing militants from diverting and seizing the supplies - a claim Hamas has already denied. Earlier, as Jamie Clarke reports, the United Kingdom said it had suspended trade talks with Israel over the situation in Gaza:

The European Union and Britain have announced new sanctions against Russia. The move comes a day after a phone call between the leaders of the United States and Russia failed to produce a breakthrough on ending the three-year-old-war in Ukraine.

Jamie Clarke has more:

US President Donald Trump has signed a bill making it a federal crime to post "revenge porn" - whether it is real or generated by artificial intelligence. Robert Kemp reports:

Iran's Supreme Leader has expressed doubt that nuclear talks with the United States will lead to a new agreement. He's said the US had made "excessive and outrageous" demands on uranium enrichment. Indirect talks between the two sides are reported to be continuing, albeit on shaky ground - as Jamie Clarke reports:
