    Trump fired Kristi Noem as homeland security secretary / 2026 FIFA World Cup / Workplace Happiness Index

    On this programme, we talked to experts about US President Donald Trump's decision to fire the head of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem last week. She was responsible for carrying out his sweeping immigration crackdown, and will be replaced by Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin.
    After the break, we looked ahead to the 2026 World Cup. The International Football Association Board earlier approved a package of measures aimed at speeding up the pace of matches and cracking down on time wasting, with the changes set to come into force at the upcoming World Cup and all other competitions. 
    And to wrap up the show, a recruitment platform head told us all about the latest findings in their workplace happiness index. They previously asked over 1,000 Hong Kong employees about how happy there were with their jobs, and analysed the key reasons behind it.

    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.

    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.
