    Iran war updates / Hong Kong Science Museum's new exhibits / More snakes spotted in Tseung Kwan O

    On this programme, we looked at the conflict in the Middle East, after US President Donald Trump sent confusing signals hinting that the Iran war could end soon. At the same time, Mr Trump is saying that the US could hit the country “twenty times harder”.

    After the break, a curator from the Hong Kong Science Museum told us more about the three new permanent galleries in the museum that focus on how modern technology, such as AI, robotics, and biotechnology, shapes daily life and future innovations.

    And to wrap it up, a lawmaker and pest control experts gave us some tips on what to do if you see snakes, after some residents in Tseung Kwan O reported a spike in sightings.

    Maritime fuel bunkering / MPF enhancement proposals / Football frenzy

    Presenters: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.
