On Friday's Backchat, we look at what‘s to become of Hong Kong’s Covid isolation facilities.
It’s understood that the government will assess all available Covid isolation and treatment facilities and explore the possibility of converting them into transitional housing.
According to local media reports, facilities with private washrooms will be first in line — making the Kai Tak Community isolation facility a likely choice.
The idea was welcomed by housing concern groups, but others are worried about its possible impact on tourism and the development of the Kai Tak area into a business and sports hub.
After 9:15, we’ll look at how a million year old skull found on the mainland provides insight in human evolutionary.

On Friday's Backchat we'll talk about China’s extreme heatwave.
Parts of the mainland have been experiencing searing temperatures for more than two months – with many rivers and reservoirs running dry because of a severe drought and scant rainfall.
The Ministry of Agriculture warns that the unprecedented heatwave is posing challenges for autumn crops. Authorities are now turning to artificial rainfall and using more coal as hydropower output plunges as electricity demand surge.
What do you think? How would this affect Food supplies?
After 9:15 we will look at the preservation of neon light signs, after some iconic signs in Yau Ma Tei were removed by the government recently.
