Child abuse / Chinese medicine recommendations
On Thursday's Backchat, we're talking about child abuse. Ten former care workers were this week jailed for their role in one of the city's biggest child abuse scandals in recent years. The "evil and barbaric" acts they inflicted on toddlers living in a residential home in Mongkok have re-ignited debate over the need to better supervise such care centres.
The sentencing comes as the government prepares to implement the recently-enacted Mandatory Reporting Child Abuse Ordinance, which requires many professionals to report cases of suspected child abuse. So is Hong Kong doing enough to tackle the problem? How much difference will the new law make? And how do we compare to other parts of the world?
After 9:45, we'll learn more about a think tank's proposals to give Chinese medicine a more prominent role in the city's healthcare system. Tell us what you think. If you'd like to take part in the conversation, call us on 2338 8266. WhatsApp us on 6899 8518. Comment on our Facebook page. Or email backchat@rthk.hk.

COP28 developments / Hong Kong reef check
主持人：Jim Gould and Ada Wong
On Tuesday’s Backchat, we're talking about developments and arguments at the climate summit in Dubai.
The two-week event began last Thursday with delegates agreeing to a new fund to help nations suffering damage caused by the climate crisis.
And about 100 countries have promised to triple renewable energy use by 2030.
But controversy has arisen after it emerged that the president of the COP28 summit, Sultan Al Jaber, had claimed there was “no science” to state that phasing out fossil fuels was necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Environmental groups want more pressure on oil and gas companies to cease production.
After 9:45am, we’ll look at the health of Hong Kong’s reef and marine biodiversity.
9:05-9:30am Athena Yau and Joanne Chu, CCIL’s youth delegates in Dubai
9:05am-9:45am Priscilla lin, COP26, COP27 Youth Delegate and the Co-Founder of Solmunity and The Shared Meal
9:30am-9:45am Thomas Tang, Adjunct Professor at City University School of Energy and Environment and CEO and Founder, PJ Sustainability Consulting
9:45am-10:00am Lydia Pang, Interim Head of Ocean, Conservation, WWF
