    Elon Musk's influence on the US government / Proposals to make hiking trails more tourist friendly

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we’re looking into Elon Musk’s influence over the US federal government.

    From accessing classified data to dismantling Congress approved bodies, the world’s richest man has been given unprecedented powers – which critics say go well beyond advising the Trump administration.
    This comes as New York federal judge temporarily blocked Musk’s team from accessing the systems used to process trillions of dollars in payment, ruling that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and political appointees had no legal powers to inspect files containing the personal data of millions of Americans.
    Musk was quick to react, describing the judge as “corrupt” and saying that he should be impeached. So what does federal law say about the role of private citizens in government? We'll ask the experts.
    After 9:50, we discuss lawmakers' suggestions to develop touristic facilities around Hong Kong's hiking trails.

    Donald Trump assassination attempt / Exhibition on polar education

    主持人:Jim Gould and Philip Wong

    On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus talks about safety and security protocols surrounding leading political figures, following the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

    Nearly a week has passed since the former US President and Republican Party nominee narrowly escaped death, instead receiving minor injury, when a bullet grazed his right ear at a rally in Pennsylvania.
    One person attending the rally died after also being hit, while the 20-year-old shooter -- whose motives remain under investigation by the FBI -- was killed by counter assault teams.
    Security officials have been under pressure to explain why the gunman was able to position himself on a nearby rooftop.
    It was the first time since 1981 that a leading US political figure has been shot, although four US presidents have been assassinated in the course of history.
    After 9:50, we learn more from the organisers of a new exhibition promoting polar research.





    9:00am - 9:45am: Trump shooting
    9:05am-9:50am: Mark Lowery, former US Secret Service Officer who protected several presidents from Reagan to Bush. He now is President of security firm Lowery & Associates Consulting
