    Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to China / New research on late treatment of strokes

    For the first edition of Global Focus we're talking about Russian President Vladimir Putin's state visit to China.

    President Xi Jinping called on the relations between China and Russia to be cherished and cared for by both sides, as the two neighbours seek to bolster economic ties.
    Under a new agreement, the two countries are expected to deepen strategic partnership and reinforce their 75 years of diplomatic relations, a friendship Putin described as a "stabilising" force.
    This year's visit also comes amidst high tensions over the war in Ukraine, with China poised to reinforce its involvement in brokering peace between Ukraine and Russia.
    Which sectors of the economy are most likely to benefit from this deepening cooperation? And can China bring the Russia-Ukraine conflict to an end? We'll find out.

    In the last part of the programme, we learn more from a research looking into the effectiveness of late treatment of stroke.

    "Job hopping" among foreign domestic helpers / DSE app glitches

    Presenters:Andrew Work and Ada Wong

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about calls to tackle "job-hopping" among foreign domestic helpers.

    Authorities last year announced that a revised employment agencies' code of practice would be published this quarter, as some employers are struggling to retain their helpers despite having invested in hiring fees.
    The amended guidelines are expected to add new provisions to deter the trend, such as banning agencies from providing monetary incentives to helpers who change employers. However, critics worry that the code's non-legally binding nature will not be enough of a deterrent.
    Some employers' groups have suggested tightening immigration rules with proposals to create a database blacklisting helpers deemed to change employers too often.
    What really is "job hopping"? Do you think that it should be regulated? Or is this a right all employees should be entitled to?
    After 9:45, we talk about plans by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer to stress test public institutions' mobile apps, after an app used to record DSE students' attendance suffered a glitch on exam day.
