    Political turmoil in South Korea / H5N1 bird flu pandemic concerns

    On Monday’s Backchat, we’re looking into the latest political developments in South Korea.

    President Yoon Suk Yeol survived an impeachment motion tabled against him over the weekend, just a few days after his short-lived attempt to impose martial law.
    The embattled leader has since apologised for what opposition parties decried as an abuse of power, while the ruling People Power Party called on Yoon to resign, despite its MPs boycotting Saturday’s impeachment vote.
    The main opposition Democratic Party has warned that it would hold new waves of protests, with another impeachment vote scheduled on December 14.
    Meanwhile, authorities arrested former defence minister Kim Yong-hyun on Sunday over his alleged role in the turmoil, while President Yoon could face potential charges of insurrection and abuse of power.
    Are the country’s democratic institutions strong enough to withstand this unprecedented political crisis? And what’s next? We’ll ask the experts.
    In the last part of the programme, we speak to an epidemiologist, as scientists fear that the H5N1 bird flu could turn into a pandemic.

    New penalty system for power outages / Suspected poisoning of a guide dog

    主持人:Janice Wong and Paul Zimmerman

    On Friday‘s Backchat we are talking about the new penalty system for power outages.

    The government reached an agreement with Hong Kong’s two power firms to fine them for major supply disruptions. The size of the fine depends on how many people are affected, and for how long.

    For example, a power disruption with a combined 15 million minutes will cost CLP around HK$20 million. Hongkong Electric will have to pay the same amount for an outage that lasts 10 million minutes.

    But some lawmakers are questioning how effective this penalty system is – pointing out that fines could be offset by an existing system that rewards the power companies for restoring power.

    After 9:45am, we look at the suspected poisoning of a guide dog at a Tseung Kwan O mall.

    9:05-9:30am Gary Zhang, lawmaker

    9:05am-9:45am Dr. William Yu Yuen-ping, Chief Executive of World Green Organisation
