    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.

    Slope safety / Chat with Mahesh Harilela / Boao Forum for Asia

    主持人:Azam Khan and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we learned more about slope safety as Hong Kong enters the rainy season.

    The government has launched numerous projects over the years to minimise the chances of landslides, resulting in a substantial drop in serious incidents.
    But experts say we must not rest on our laurels as extreme weather brought about by climate change will continue to pose safety risks.
    We talked to an official about the use of cutting-edge technology to bolster landslide prevention.
    We also invited Mahesh Harilela, Family Council Convenor of the Harilela Group, to tell us about his family's history and how the city has shaped his life.
    After the break, we took a deep-dive into the Boao Forum that was recently held in Hong Kong. The theme for this year’s event is: “Transitioning towards the future: Powered by Science, Technology and Innovation”.
