    Former premier Zhu Ronji's passing / "A Day in the City - An Experimental Study of Things Across Time" Exhibit / Power supply and electricity disuptions / EdU's inclusive education survey

    On this programme, we reflect on the legacy of former premier Zhu Rongji, a pivotal architect of China's economic policy, who passed away in Beijing on Wednesday.

    We then learn more about the Hong Kong Palace Museum's new special exhibition that brings together traditional Chinese culture and modern artistic expression.

    After the break, we chat with an engineer to find out how the city can better prepare for higher energy demand caused by the extreme heat.

    And we wrap up the show by taking a closer look at a recent survey by the Education University of Hong Kong which found that nearly 90 percent of teachers are concerned about insufficient resources for implementing inclusive education to the needs of students.

    US government shutdown / Ngong Ping 360 hiking pass / Upgraded 18111 hotline / East Kowloon Cultural Centre officially opened

    主持人:Azam Khan and John Bruce

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we looked back at the US government shutdown. Senate approved a compromise that would end the longest government shutdown in US history. Millions of needy Americans faced not getting food benefits and thousands of federal workers were unpaid, while the aviation sector plunged into a crisis. The bill, which is a temporary package, will now be signed by US President Donald Trump. We talked to experts about whether this will lead to a permanent solution, or if another shutdown could be around the corner. 
    After the break, we heard from the Managing Director of Ngong Ping 360 about a new hiking pass that promotes green tourism in Lantau. 
    We also learned about a new mental health support hotline launched by the government, and wrapped up the programme with a look at the city's newest cultural venue that integrates arts and technology - the East Kowloon Cultural Centre in Ngau Tau Kok. 
    9:05am-9:30am: US government shutdown ends
