    Village house conversions in Northern Metropolis / British PM Keir Starmer resignation / Poverty reduction report

    On this programme, officials join us to shed insight on a policy paper that aims to boost rural tourism. Residents in two villages will be able to convert their houses into restaurants, guest houses or shops without prior application. 
    After the break, we hear from a political pundit on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stepping down from the head of the ruling Labour Party, paving the way for Britain getting its seventh PM in just over a decade. What kind of legacy does Starmer leave, and how much work lies ahead for the person who replaces him?
    And finally, we speak with another lawmaker after the government released a report on the impact of targeted poverty alleviation in the city.

    HKTDC's promotion campaign in Italy / New WestK Ferry / Building a comprehensive retirement system

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we talked to a director of the Trade Development Council about its "Think Business, Think Hong Kong" mega promotion campaign in Milan, Italy, later this month. This comes as a recent survey found that many Italian companies are interested in expanding into Hong Kong and mainland markets in the next few years. 

    Separately, the council is organising a two-day Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
    After the break, we heard from the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority about its new pier -- WestK Quay -- and the WestK ferry service which just launched on Saturday.

    And finally, we talked to a think tank about how Hong Kong can develop a better and more comprehensive retirement system.
