    British PM Keir Starmer's China visit / Carlos Alcaraz won the Australian Open / Pet Show 2026

    On Wednesday's programme, we looked at British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's visit to China last week. His visit was the first to Beijing by a UK leader in eight years, following in the footsteps of other Western leaders looking to deepen cooperation with China. He met President Xi Jinping, and the leaders signed a number of economic deals, as well as an agreement for visa-free travel to China for British Passport holders. 
    After the break, we spoke with the President of the Hong Kong, China Tennis Association on Spanish ace Carlos Alcaraz becoming the youngest career grand slam winner after lifting his maiden Australian Open title.
    And finally, we runned through some of the highlights from a recent pet show at the Convention and Exhibition Centre, which featured over a thousand exhibitors, alongside dogs and cats.

    Anti-smoking legislation / The fall of former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol

    主持人:Jenny Lam and Rainbow Leung

    On Monday’s Backchat, we discussed the government’s plans to prohibit the smoking and possession of e-cigarettes from the second quarter of next year, with the ultimate goal of putting in place a total ban on the products — including in private venues.

    A bill expected to be submitted soon will also aim to ban the sale of shisha and flavored cigarettes within the coming two years. There are proposals as well to increase the penalty for the illicit importation of cigarettes. Meanwhile, plans are in the pipeline to expand no-smoking areas.
    While anti-smoking advocates back these initiatives, some lawmakers have voiced concerns over the potential impact on F&B outlets.
    After 9:45, we delved into the recent downfall of former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was removed from office by court ruling last week following his failed attempt to impose martial law. How's the country reacting to the court decision? What lies ahead for the former prosecutor-turned-politician?
