GLOBAL FOCUS - Democrat vs Republican debate on Radio 3
On Friday's Global Focus, we talked about US politics, ahead of the Presidential elections in November.
Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her Republican rival Donald Trump took to the stage for their first ever TV debate on Tuesday, two months after President Joe Biden dropped out of the White House race to endorse Vice-President Harris.
Despite a collected beginning, the debate quickly turned into a war of words as the two rivals laid out their deep divisions in matters ranging from gun control, abortion rights, healthcare, immigration and tax. Both candidates claimed the mantle of change, hoping to gain the hearts and minds of American voters who will be called to the ballot boxes in less than two months.
We were joined by James Lockett, Chair of Democrats Abroad (Hong Kong) and Alan Seigrist, Head of Republicans Overseas (Hong Kong) who debated live from our studio here in Hong Kong.

8th Belt and Road Summit / France's decision to ban iPhone 12 sale over radiation levels
主持人：Jim Gould and Mike Rowse
On today's Backchat, we talk about the 8th Belt and Road Summit, which concluded on Thursday in Hong Kong.
Drawing nearly 6,000 attendees from over 70 countries and regions, the two-day summit saw a line-up of influential guests from sectors including IT, banking and infrastructure.
Hailed by the government as a demonstration of Hong Kong's return on the global stage, the forum is also seen as an affirmation of the SAR's strategic contribution to the Belt and Road Initiative launched by President Xi Jinping in 2013.
A total of 21 MoUs were signed and 280 investment projects matched, with the Middle East playing a significant role at this year's event. In attendance was Egyptian Minister of International Cooperation Rania Al-Mashat who has invited Chief Executive John Lee to Egypt, signalling investment opportunities tied to Suez Canal.
After 9:45, we discuss France's decision to ban the sale of iPhone 12 smartphones over what regulators say are high radiation levels.
