    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.

    Hutchison port deal / Hong Kong's first ethnic minority museum

    Presenters:Janice Wong and Danny Gittings

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we're diving into the controversy surrounding CK Hutchison’s decision to sell its Panama and other global port operations to US investment conglomerate BlackRock.

    Shares of the Li Ka-shing-controlled firm have slumped after two Beijing offices overseeing Hong Kong affairs shared newspaper commentaries criticising the move.
    Chief Executive John Lee also said the deal needed “serious attention,” and the government opposes “bullying tactics” in international trade. This comes as US President Donald Trump pledged to give the US more control over the waterway, which it built over 100 years ago.
    Will these developments have financial implications for shipping firms? And was the offer simply too good to refuse?
    After 9:50, we learn about an exhibition promoting the contributions of ethnic minorities to Hong Kong, ahead of World Anti-Discrimination Day on Friday.


    9:05am-9:50am: Hutchison port deal

    9:05am-9:50am: Tim Huxley, Chairman of Mandarin Shipping

    9:05am-9:50am: Alan Lung, political analyst Co-Chair (International), The Path of Democracy

    9:50am-10:00am: Hong Kong's first ethnic minority museum

    9:50am-10:00am: Chandni Puri, Project Manager and Supervisor, Diversity Hub by Christian Action
