    New public hospital fees and charges / Hong Kong Red Cross Tai Po fire relief plan / Mark Zuckerberg’s fading Metaverse dream

    On Wednesday’s programme, we looked into the Hospital Authority's new charges and fees.

    Taking effect in three phases from January 1, the healthcare fee reform will charge Accident & Emergency patients according to the severity of their condition. It will also cap charges at HK$10,000 per year for each patient.
    Following the break, we spoke to the Hong Kong Red Cross about its three to five-year relief plan to support victims of the Tai Po blaze, after it received more than HK$400 million in donations.
    And lastly, American billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s once-ambitious dream of creating a virtual world - the Metaverse - is facing challenges. He's reportedly planning to cut the division’s budget by up to 30 percent after it recorded losses.

    Elderly mental health study / Hong Kong Football Festival / Russian earthquake / We WATCH healthy lifestyle project

    主持人:Azam Khan and John Bruce

    On Thursday's Backchat, we looked at problems associated with an aging population.
    The Yang Memorial Methodist Social Service recently surveyed over 250 retirees, and found that many of them were emotionally and mentally stressed.
    We spoke to an expert behind the survey to find out the reason behind that and what can be done to address the problem?
    We also heard from a Tottenham FC star player, with the Hotspurs in town for the football festival at Kai Tak Stadium.
    After the break, we talked to an expert about Wednesday’s earthquake that hit Russia's Far East -- one of the strongest ever recorded. The tremors triggered a series of tsunami alerts across nations in the Pacific.
    Finally, we learned more about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, after the Jockey Club recently launched a project to help those aged between 35 and 59 avoid chronic diseases.

    9:05am-9:23am: Elderly mental health study
