    Ride-hailing permit cap / CUHK metabolic health study / Global Prosperity Summit 2026

    On this programme, we first speak with experts and a lawmaker about ride hailing permits. The regulatory regime launches next year, but there's still creases being ironed out, including the number of permits to be issued. Authorities said they're consulting the public too. 
    After the break, we unpack a recent study conducted by researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong which found that middle-aged women with overweight or obesity lose more fat by combining flexible time-restricted eating with aerobic exercise.
    And lastly, we learn all about the Global Prosperity Summit that is set to be held in Hong Kong next week.

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

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Rainbow Leung

    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 Airways about the upgrades at Hong Kong International Airport's Terminal 2.
