    Trump fired Kristi Noem as homeland security secretary / 2026 FIFA World Cup / Workplace Happiness Index

    On this programme, we talked to experts about US President Donald Trump's decision to fire the head of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem last week. She was responsible for carrying out his sweeping immigration crackdown, and will be replaced by Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin.
    After the break, we looked ahead to the 2026 World Cup. The International Football Association Board earlier approved a package of measures aimed at speeding up the pace of matches and cracking down on time wasting, with the changes set to come into force at the upcoming World Cup and all other competitions. 
    And to wrap up the show, a recruitment platform head told us all about the latest findings in their workplace happiness index. They previously asked over 1,000 Hong Kong employees about how happy there were with their jobs, and analysed the key reasons behind it.

    Launch of premium taxi fleets / Voluntary reporting of unauthorised structures

    Presenters:Danny Gittings and Raymond Yeung

    In the first half of Thursday's programme, we’re talking about the five new taxi fleets offering premium services that have just been unveiled. With more than 3,500 vehicles, the first batch are expected to hit the roads later this month.

    The new taxi fleets will accept different means of payment and boast a range of premium features such as Wi-Fi, phone charging and safety monitoring systems. So will this improve the reputation of the city’s taxi industry? And are consumers ready to pay a premium for better service?
    In the last aprt of the show, we talk about proposals to bring back the mechanism for the voluntary reporting of unauthorised building works in village houses.
