    On this programme, we looked at the conflict in the Middle East, after US President Donald Trump sent confusing signals hinting that the Iran war could end soon. At the same time, Mr Trump is saying that the US could hit the country “twenty times harder”.

    After the break, a curator from the Hong Kong Science Museum told us more about the three new permanent galleries in the museum that focus on how modern technology, such as AI, robotics, and biotechnology, shapes daily life and future innovations.

    And to wrap it up, a lawmaker and pest control experts gave us some tips on what to do if you see snakes, after some residents in Tseung Kwan O reported a spike in sightings.

    Australian election results / Alibaba's upgraded AI model / Accidents involving elderly taxi drivers

    主持人:Azam Khan and CM Chan

    On Wednesday’s Backchat, we discussed the results of Australia’s general election which took place last week.

    The Labor Party swept the election by securing more than half of the seats in the House of Representatives.
    By doing so, party leader Anthony Albanese secured a second term in the top job, becoming the first prime minister to be re-elected since 2004. The opposition Liberal Party, meanwhile, suffered a massive setback, with its leader Peter Dutton losing his seat that he’s held for 24 years in Dickson, Queensland.
    What kind of challenges will Canberra face going forward? How is Albanese going to handle key domestic issues like cost of living and healthcare?
    After 9:30, we learned about Alibaba's new AI model, Qwen-3, which boasts new reasoning capabilities.
    After 9:45, we looked at the problem of ageing taxi drivers, after recent Transport Department figures showed an increase in the number of elderly cabbies getting involved in accidents.

    9:05am-9:30am: Australian election results
    9:05am-9:30am: Richard Cullen, Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Law, The University of Hong Kong
    9:05am-9:30am: Josephine Orgill, Chair of the Australian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong

    9:33am-9:43am: Alibaba's upgraded AI model
