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.

Surge of mycoplasma pneumoniae / Disposable tableware survey
主持人：Janice Wong and Jenny Lam
On Wednesday’s Backchat, we're talking about the recent surge in pneumonia and respiratory illness in parts of the world.
The World Health Organisation requested more information on these cases on the mainland last week, and this had attracted global attention.
But the WHO said health authorities there have not detected any unusual or novel pathogens.
A surge in these illnesses have also been recorded in parts of Europe and the United States.
How concerned should we be? Is this just a part of the winter flu season? Does it show that immunity among the population remains low after Covid lockdowns?
After 9:45am, we look at a new survey on the use of plastic cutlery in Hong Kong.
Let us know what you think. You can leave a message on our Facebook page, email us at backchat@rthk.hk, or call us on 23388266.
