On this programme, we recap Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office Xia Baolong's two-day visit to the SAR. His trip included examining light public housing units, as part of his inspection effort to check on the SAR's alignment with the 15th National Five-Year Plan.
After the break, we speak to a lawmaker about the latest improvement measures of the imported labour scheme. Under a new two-tier mechanism, employers and workers looking to fill specific catering-sector roles will face a stricter staffing ratio.
And finally, we find out why voters in Switzerland rejected a proposal to cap the country's population at 10 million.
