    Insurers' response to the Iran war / Travel security in the Gulf / New Formula 1 season starts / China's major development targets for 2026-2030

    On this programme, we looked at the escalating Iran conflict that made leading maritime insurers cancel war risk cover for vessels operating in the Gulf region.

    A travel security analyst also joined us to discuss the risks of travelling and doing business in Gulf states, as some well-known international hotel chains in the region were hit by retaliatory strikes coming from Iran.

    After the break, a former race-car driver told us what to expect of the new Formula One season that is set to return this weekend.

    And finally, we brought you the latest updates on the annual “Two Sessions”, that are taking place in the capital. Premier Li Qiang unveiled major development targets for the 15th Five-year Plan, and set the 2026 GDP growth target at 4.5 percent to 5 percent.

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

    Presenters: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.
