    Fuel prices surge / "Asian flush" study / Digital gap for the elderly / HK Express moving to Terminal 2

    On this programme, we talked to a representative from the transport industry about fuel surcharges. Escalation in the Middle East conflict has propelled global crude oil prices to heights not seen in years. Will airlines and public transportation in Hong Kong be able to weather the storm, or will measures be needed to moderate prices?
    We then learned more from a City University professor about the so-called "Asian glow", and how his team's new study may provide a possible explanation behind the condition that affects about 40 percent of the population in East Asia.
    Following the break, we talked about the digital divide between the older and younger generation, after a recent survey on the SAR's digital literacy was conducted. 
    And we wrapped up the show with a conversation talking to the COO of HK Express about the upgrades at Hong Kong International Airport's Terminal 2.

    Space economy roundtable meeting / Gaza Board of Peace

    Presenters:Azam Khan and John Bruce

    On Thursday's programme, we began with a discussion on the new space economy. The Chief Executive's Policy Unit recently hosted a high-level roundtable to discuss boosting development in this area, in alignment with the nation's development plan.
    After the break, we turned our attention to Gaza. US President Donald Trump has been lobbying world leaders to join his so-called 'Board of Peace' for the besieged enclave, which the US leader says he may chair for life. We heard from a former British politician and a scholar on the issue.
