    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.

    Tianwen-2 space mission / Free breast cancer screening / Renewable fuel adoption trends / "Comic Fun for All" exhibition

    Presenter:Azam Khan

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we ventured into space to find out more about China's latest mission. Last week, the Tianwen-2 successfully lifted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre, and is now en-route to sample a near-Earth asteroid before embarking on a much longer journey to survey a main belt comet.

    We also asked a health official about the latest updates to the government's Breast Cancer Screening Pilot Programme.
    After the news, we learned more about a research report published by the Business Environment Council, examining the market landscape, challenges, and opportunities for biodiesel and renewable diesel adoption in Hong Kong.
    And finally, we heard about a new comics exhibition at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum.
