    Presenters:Azam Khan and John Bruce

    On Wednesday’s programme, we looked into the Hospital Authority's new charges and fees.

    Taking effect in three phases from January 1, the healthcare fee reform will charge Accident & Emergency patients according to the severity of their condition. It will also cap charges at HK$10,000 per year for each patient.
    Following the break, we spoke to the Hong Kong Red Cross about its three to five-year relief plan to support victims of the Tai Po blaze, after it received more than HK$400 million in donations.
    And lastly, American billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s once-ambitious dream of creating a virtual world - the Metaverse - is facing challenges. He's reportedly planning to cut the division’s budget by up to 30 percent after it recorded losses.
