    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.

    Australian PM's China visit / CUHK's new surgical tool treating ischemic strokes / Cloud seeding technology / Chikungunya fever

    主持人:Azam Khan and John Bruce

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we started off with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's recent state visit to China, his second in as many years. A number of trade agreements were signed and both sides agreed on the importance of deepening diplomatic and economic cooperation. We spoke to an expert about the significance of the trip.
    We then learnt about a new, state-of-the-art device developed by the Chinese University of Hong Kong that treats a form of stroke.
    After the break, we heard from a meteorologist on cloud seeding, a decades old weather modification technique -- and found out whether it's capable of triggering natural disasters. It came after rumours spread online that cloud seeding was to blame for the deadly flash floods in Central Texas earlier this month.

    Finally, we wrapped up the programme by speaking to the Centre for Health Protection about Chikungunya fever-- a mosquito borne disease that's caused an outbreak in neighbouring Guangdong.
