    Failure of US-Iran talks / Flight cancellations due to increased fuel costs / The latest HIV/AIDS situation in Hong Kong

    On this programme, we discussed the ongoing war in the Middle East. US President Donald Trump has declared again that the war is "close to over" after hinting at a second round of face-to-face talks with Iran in Pakistan in the coming days. On the other front, Israel and Lebanon held rare, direct talks in Washington. The International Monetary Fund has earlier warned that any further escalation of the conflict in the Middle East could plunge the global economy into recession.

    Next, we talked to the head of the Hong Kong Professional Airline Pilots Association about the latest cancellation of flights announced by Cathay Pacific, as a result of the ongoing war in the Gulf region.

    And finally, a health official updated us on the HIV-AIDS situation in the city.

    Maritime fuel bunkering / MPF enhancement proposals / Football frenzy

    主持人:Azam Khan and John Bruce

    On Thursday's Backchat, we learned about what the SAR is doing to enhance its status as a green maritime hub. Just recently, Hong Kong successfully completed its largest single liquefied natural gas, or LNG bunkering operation and marked a significant milestone with the first-ever ship-to-ship LNG refuelling alongside simultaneous cargo handling.
    After the break, we switched gears and spoke to a representative from a major accounting firm to find out how we can improve the MPF system to boost retirement protection for people in Hong Kong.
    And finally, we turned to football. More than 40,000 fans packed Kai Tak Stadium on Tuesday night to see Hong Kong, China clinch a 1-nil victory over India in a historic first home game at the new venue. We spoke to a lawmaker about the incredible atmosphere, and whether the SAR can further capitalise on this football craze.
