    Pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses / Storm scare on a Hong Kong-bound flight

    On Friday's Backchat, we're discussing ongoing pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses.

    Dubbed as the "most sweeping and prolonged" demonstrations since the Vietnam war protests in the 1960s and 70s, the current unrest has seen dozens of students occupying campuses around the country, demanding universities divest from companies with reported ties to the Israeli military.
    Over 1,300 protesters have been arrested throughout the US in the last two weeks, following clashes between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian protesters.
    There’ve also been protests in Europe, once again igniting discussion over the polarising effect conflicts in the Middle East can have on tertiary institutions around the world.
    Supporters of the movement have called on universities to uphold their right to peaceful protest and free speech while critics argue the this has led to an increase in antisemitic acts of violence.
    How do you think universities should handle these protests? Is the clampdown on protests also a clampdown on free speech?
    After 9:45, we talk about Tuesday night's rainstorm, which left dozens of Hong Kong-bound flights diverted to nearby airports and some passengers traumatised over failed landing attempts.

    Single use plastic ban / MTR 45th anniversary exhibition

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we're talking about the ban on single use plastic.

    Starting Monday — which is Earth Day — catering premises will no longer be able to provide disposable expanded polystyrene tableware, which includes single-use plastic straws, stirrers, cutlery, and plates. Plastic cups and food containers will initially be banned for dine-in customers, before a blanket prohibition takes place early next year.
    On top of that, hotel guests can bid farewell to free plastic water bottles, plastic toothbrushes, and small-sized shampoo bottles in their rooms. Lodging establishments will now have to use alternative materials such as paper bottles and wooden toiletries.
    The government hopes this will help reduce waste, and minimise microplastic pollution of landfills and oceans, in line with Hong Kong's ambitions of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050.
    After 9:45, we talk about a public exhibition celebrating the MTR Corporation’s 45th anniversary, with vintage trains on display in Hung Hom.
