    Insurers' response to the Iran war / Travel security in the Gulf / New Formula 1 season starts / China's major development targets for 2026-2030

    On this programme, we looked at the escalating Iran conflict that made leading maritime insurers cancel war risk cover for vessels operating in the Gulf region.

    A travel security analyst also joined us to discuss the risks of travelling and doing business in Gulf states, as some well-known international hotel chains in the region were hit by retaliatory strikes coming from Iran.

    After the break, a former race-car driver told us what to expect of the new Formula One season that is set to return this weekend.

    And finally, we brought you the latest updates on the annual “Two Sessions”, that are taking place in the capital. Premier Li Qiang unveiled major development targets for the 15th Five-year Plan, and set the 2026 GDP growth target at 4.5 percent to 5 percent.

    High Seas Treaty / Police drone patrols expanding / Kadoorie Farm's "Nature Treasure Hunt"

    Presenters:Brian Wong and Rainbow Leung

    On Friday's programme, we began the show by talking to some environment scholars about the High Seas Treaty that came into effect this month. The treaty provides countries with a legally binding framework to tackle threats like overfishing and meet the target of protecting 30 percent of oceans by 2030.
    After the break, we looked at efforts to bolster law enforcement in Hong Kong. The police will expand their drone patrol programme to the Peak, Cheung Chau and Lamma Island to enhance crime prevention, crowd control and traffic monitoring capabilities.
    Wrapping up our programme, we talked to a wildlife rehabilitation expert from the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden about the park's latest project to promote nature conservation.
