    Fuel prices surge / "Asian flush" study / Digital gap for the elderly / HK Express moving to Terminal 2

    On this programme, we talked to a representative from the transport industry about fuel surcharges. Escalation in the Middle East conflict has propelled global crude oil prices to heights not seen in years. Will airlines and public transportation in Hong Kong be able to weather the storm, or will measures be needed to moderate prices?
    We then learned more from a City University professor about the so-called "Asian glow", and how his team's new study may provide a possible explanation behind the condition that affects about 40 percent of the population in East Asia.
    Following the break, we talked about the digital divide between the older and younger generation, after a recent survey on the SAR's digital literacy was conducted. 
    And we wrapped up the show with a conversation talking to the COO of HK Express about the upgrades at Hong Kong International Airport's Terminal 2.

    Beijing "Two Sessions" meeting opening / Resumption of searches for flight MH370: 11 years on

    Presenters:Tony Sabine and Philip Wong

    In the first part of Wednesday's programme, we talk about the "Two Sessions" gathering.

    Thousands of political elites and lawmakers arrived in the country's capital to discuss the country’s policy trajectory, with economics, trade and artificial intelligence expected to be high on the agenda.
    This year’s meeting comes as US President Donald Trump reinforced his trade war by doubling tariffs on Chinese imports to 20 percent, prompting the Finance Ministry in Beijing to retaliate with additional 15 percent levies on some US goods.
    After 9:30, we discuss the resumption of searches for flight MH370, which went missing 11 years ago, in what remains modern aviation’s greatest mystery. Are we getting closer to knowing what happened?


    9:05am-9:30am: Beijing "Two Sessions" meeting opening

    9:05am-9:30am: Einar Tangen, Senior Fellow at the Taihe Institute
