    Iran war updates / Hong Kong Science Museum's new exhibits / More snakes spotted in Tseung Kwan O

    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.

    Golden Week tourism performance / Snooker development in Hong Kong

    主持人:Azam Khan and Mike Rowse

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we looked back at the Golden Week holiday, which attracted 1.1 million inbound visitors over the five-day period, amounting to a jump of 22 percent from the same period last year. Among them, about 920,000 were mainland visitors, exceeding the travel industry’s estimates of 800,000.

    The retail, catering and hotel sectors all recorded growth in their businesses. Apart from traditional tourist spots, large crowds also flocked to the countryside and residential neighbourhoods, indicating a shift in people’s travel patterns.
    After the news, we discussed how Hong Kong can further boost snooker development, after Zhao Xintong made history and became the first Chinese player to win the World Snooker Championship in England earlier this week.
