    Lando Norris' first F1 World Drivers' Championship win / Wig requirement dropped for some UK courts / Under-16s social media ban kicks-off in Australia / Hong Kong’s Taoist festivals

    On Friday's programme, we talked about McLaren's Lando Norris' first F1 World Drivers' Championship win. A former racing driver discussed the significance of Norris becoming Britain's first world champion since Lewis Hamilton.

    We then turned our attention to the courtroom, where barristers in the UK have won the right to ditch a traditional headpiece: the wig.

     

    After the break, we took a closer look at how people are coping with the world's first social media ban that was earlier implemented in Australia, targeting under 16s.

    And finally, we concluded the show by talking to a historian about a once-in-a-decade Taoist festival to ward off angry spirits.

    Budget review / Tunnel safety

    主持人:Andrew Work and Paul Zimmerman

    On Friday's Backchat, we talk about the Budget and its impact on the private sector.

    Whilst largely regarded as "belt tightening", the newly unveiled economic blueprint promises a range of incentives to leverage Hong Kong's competitive edge.
    From the allocation of a HK$ 1 billion fund establishing an Artificial Intelligence Research Institute to a HK$1.5 billion Research Matching Grant Scheme, tech workers are expected to be among those benefiting the most from these policies.
    However, uncertainty looms as to whether pay freezes for civil servants would lead other sectors to follow suit.
    After 9:45, we speak to a structural engineer over the safety of Hong Kong's Cross-Harbour Tunnel, as a vehicle was hit by a piece concrete falling from the ceiling.


    9:05am-9:45am: Budget review

    9:05am-9:45am: Roy Ying,Co-Chairperson (Advocacy and Policy Research Committee), Hong Kong Institute of Human Resources Management

    9:05am-9:45am: Kevin Tsui, Economist and Founder of public policy think-tank Pagoda

    9:45am-10:00am: Tunnel safety

    9:45am-10:00am: Raymond Chan, Registered Surveyor and Past President of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors
