Zohran Mamdani's New York mayoral win / Day of the Dead / Shenzhou-21 docking
On Friday's Backchat, we looked at the historic New York City mayoral win by 34-year old Zohran Mamdani. He became the first African-born, and the first of South Asian descent to take up the post that oversees the largest city in the United States. His victory was part of a Democratic sweep of several key district elections.
The self-styled socialist-democrat has already announced an all-female transition team as he prepares for New York mayoralty. What challenges will he face in implementing his progressive policies? We found out.
After the break, we learned more about the "Day of Dead", or in Spanish, ''Dia de Muertos'. It's a celebration to honour those who've passed away, and was marked last weekend by Mexico, Latin America and the Philippines.
And finally, we heard from a top astro-physicist in the city about the latest developments regarding the Shenzhou-21, China's crewed spaceflight that recently docked at Tianggong space-station in record time.
