    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.

    Israel-Iran conflict / China-Africa ties / Centre Street Soeng5 Lok6 Festival

    Presenter:Azam Khan

    On today's programme, we delved into the escalating tension in the Middle East. The United Nations is calling for restraint as Israel and Iran continue to exchange fire. China has also expressed concern and condemned Israel’s violations of Iran’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity. Tel Aviv and Tehran traded blows after Israel launched a blistering surprise attack on Iranian nuclear and military sites on Friday, killing several top generals.

    We also heard about China’s growing friendship with African nations. Beijing announced last week it will grant zero tariffs on all tariff lines for the 53 African countries with which it has diplomatic relations. We spoke to an expert to find out about the significance of the move amid rising geopolitical and trade tensions around the globe.

    A the end of the show, we spoke to the organisers of the Centre Street Soeng5 Lok6 Festival.
