    Political turmoil in South Korea / Deepening rifts between US insurers and consumers

     On this week's edition of Global Focus, we’re looking into the latest developments in Korean politics. President Yoon Suk Yeol is once again facing impeachment after surviving a motion tabled against him last week, over his short-lived attempt to impose martial law. In a defiant speech, the embattled leader vowed to “fight till the end”, and blamed what he called “anti-state forces”, referring to the opposition-controlled parliament.

     The leader’s televised address came shortly after police attempted to raid the presidential office compound, as part of a probe leading to the arrest of key figures, including the country’s police chief and its former defence minister. Yoon himself is subject of a travel ban, with authorities not ruling out arresting the strongman if conditions are met.

    In the second half of the programme, we’ll talk about deepening rifts between US citizens and insurance companies, following the assassination of an executive.

    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.
