Housing ladder enhancements / Mountaineering tourism in Nepal / Using AI to revive calligraphy
On Monday's Backchat, we talked to property experts after the Housing Authority's subsidised housing committee approved a series of measures to encourage upward mobility by enhancing the housing ladder. This includes increasing the allocation of homes under the White Form Secondary Market Scheme by 1,000 to 7,000, and cutting the resale restriction period for new subsidised sale flats from 15 to 10 years.
After the break, we learned more about Nepal's recent changes to its mountaineering tourism - after the South Asian nation announced free entry to 97 uncharted mountain peaks for the next two years, in a move to help divert crowds from popular sites like Mount Everest.
Finally, we talked a local calligraphist about the revival of a thousand-year-old damaged masterpiece using artificial intelligence.

Gaza peace plan / Our Southerly Days art walk
主持人：Azam Khan and Mike Rowse
On Monday's Backchat, we looked at the latest development in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Last Thursday, Israel and Hamas agreed on the first phase of US President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan. Hamas would release all 20 living hostages in exchange for 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. Israeli troops also began pulling back from some parts of Gaza last Friday.
We talked to experts on what comes next in the ceasefire deal, and whether Palestinians in Gaza will see long-term peace soon.
And after the break, we learnt more about the new art walk in the Southern District that'll be launched by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
The event's curator told us how they would tell the story of the area's history through interactive artworks.
9:05am-9:45am: Gaza peace plan
Speakers:
James Dorsey, Adjunct Senior Fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University (Singapore)
