    WHO recommendations on sugar and smoking / "Interstellar object" discovery / DAB's birth rate proposals

    On Monday's Backchat, we looked at the World Health Organization's call on governments to increase the prices of items like tobacco, alcohol and sugary drinks to raise public revenue and cut chronic disease.

    We heard from experts about the feasibility of the suggestion, and whether more can be done in the SAR to safeguard public health.

    After the break, we blasted off into space, to learn more about an object that appears to be from beyond our solar system. The object appears to be zooming towards the sun and poses no threat to Earth. If confirmed, it would be the third visitor from beyond our cosmic neighbourhood to be detected.

    And finally, we spoke to a lawmaker about ways to boost the local birthrate, as the DAB held a roundtable meeting to discuss Hong Kong's population strategy.

    French legislative election results / Passing of the child abuse reporting law

    主持人:Andrew Work and Paul Zimmerman

    On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus looks into the French parliamentary election results.

    The right-wing National Rally was beaten into third place by the left-wing New Popular Front, followed by the Macron-led centrist group Renaissance, as several candidates from both the left and centre dropped out of the second round of voting to prevent the rise of Marine Le Pen's party.
    But while the strategy paid off, the New Popular Front failed to gain an absolute majority, meaning that the country's legislature could be paralysed unless opposing political forces can reach an agreement.
    In a letter to the nation, French President Emmanuel Macron saluted French voters' rejection of the National Rally, but acknowledged challenges ahead at a time when different factions hope to head the government.
    Meanwhile, National Rally leader Jordan Bardella blamed an "alliance of dishonour" while adding that his party won the most votes and remained the "only alternative".
    Is France becoming ungovernable? We find out.

    After 9:50, we speak to a children's rights advocate as Legco just passed the child abuse reporting law.


    9:05am-9:50am: French legislative election results

    9:05am-9:50am: Alistair Cole, Professor of Political Sciences at the Department of Government and International Studies, Hong Kong Baptist University

    9:05am-9:50am: Edmund Cheng, Professor at the Department of Public and International Affairs, City University of Hong Kong

    9:05am-9:50am: Catya Martin, Director of webradio La French Radio HK & Macau and Francophone Magazine Trait d’Union
