    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.

    CE John Lee's Middle East trip / Advanced maternal age / Kindergarten closures / Washington's tariffs on non-US movies

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Rainbow Leung

    On Friday's Backchat, we spoke to the head of the Law Society, Roden Tong, about what he hopes to achieve during his upcoming trip to the Middle East. Tong is part of Chief Executive John Lee’s delegation seeking to explore new opportunities in Qatar and Kuwait.

    We then looked at the issue of advanced maternal age and the health risks associated with it. It comes as more women opt to start a family later in life, with one local actor's wife announcing her pregnancy at 58.
    After 9.30, we discussed kindergarten closures, as a local school announced shutting down two of its branches.
    And after 9.45, we talked about US president Donald Trump's recent announcement of tariffs on non-US films.
