    "No Kings" protests / CUHK's new liver cancer drug / Artificial intelligence in animal care

    On this programme, we turned our attention to the protests taking place across the United States against the Trump administration, marking the third iteration of the so-called No Kings rallies.
    After the break, we learned more about a novel drug for liver cancer, developed by the Faculty of Medicine at the Chinese University.

    Power bill cut / New harbourfront park in Sai Ying Pun / Best public toilet in HK / Commercial and private uses of LSCD venues

    Presenters:Azam Khan and John Bruce

    On Thursday's Backchat, we looked how our electricity bills here in Hong Kong will see a slight reduction starting in January. Both CLP and Hong Kong Electric agreed to slash tariffs by more than two percent. Why and for how long?  
    We also looked at a new harbourfront park that will open in Sai Ying Pun next month, a venue which officials say will offer an inclusive entertainment experience to everyone.
     
    After the break, we unveiled the winners and losers of the recent Toilet Awards - the winning loo came from a district that is often frequented by revellers.
    And finally, we talked to an expert about a recent announcement by the government to open eight cultural and park facilities for commercial and private events, ranging from mini-concerts to corporate functions.
