    GLOBAL FOCUS - Democrat vs Republican debate on Radio 3

    On Friday's Global Focus, we talked about US politics, ahead of the Presidential elections in November.
    Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her Republican rival Donald Trump took to the stage for their first ever TV debate on Tuesday, two months after President Joe Biden dropped out of the White House race to endorse Vice-President Harris.
    Despite a collected beginning, the debate quickly turned into a war of words as the two rivals laid out their deep divisions in matters ranging from gun control, abortion rights, healthcare, immigration and tax. Both candidates claimed the mantle of change, hoping to gain the hearts and minds of American voters who will be called to the ballot boxes in less than two months.
    We were joined by James Lockett, Chair of Democrats Abroad (Hong Kong) and Alan Seigrist, Head of Republicans Overseas (Hong Kong) who debated live from our studio here in Hong Kong.

    GLOBAL FOCUS - Social unrest in Britain / Cap on virtual banks

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Paul Zimmerman

    On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus talks about the unrest in the UK.

    Violent protests have erupted across Britain after false social media posts claimed a foreign asylum seeker was responsible for the fatal stabbing of three children. Far-right extremists attacked mosques and migrant accommodation, prompting both Hong Kong and a number of countries to issue travel warnings.

    But Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed to bring an end to what he called "far right thuggery" and warned that the perpetrators will feel the "full force of the law".

    So how powerful has social media been in fuelling disinformation? How challenging are these events for the new government? Are police and judicial authorities coping?  

    After 9:45, we look into the Monetary Authority's decision that Hong Kong already has enough virtual banks.
