    The future of EU-US cooperation / Successful heart transplant on eight-month-old

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we’re looking into the future of relations between the European Union and the United States.

    US Vice President JD Vance came under fire by critics for downplaying Russia’s “threat” to European stability, blaming instead what he describes as “threats from within.”
    In a fiery speech at the Munich Security Conference last weekend, the number two in charge accused his European allies – including the UK – of “backsliding” free speech and democracy. He also went on to criticise domestic policies ranging from immigration to abortion, with little mention of regional security.
    Shortly after, Donald Trump's Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg said that the EU would not take part in ongoing talks to end the war in Ukraine, prompting European leaders – including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer – to join a crisis summit.
    Has JD Vance’s speech marked a turning point in EU-US relations? Is this the beginning of a new era for transatlantic cooperation? We’ll ask the experts.
    After 9:50, we learn more about the complexity of organ transplant procedures on babies, after an eight-month-old successfully received her new heart.

    Octopus JoyYou card discounts / Australia's "right to disconnect" law

    主持人:Jim Gould and Car Ha

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about a special promotion involving the personalised JoyYou Octopus card, aimed at encouraging activity for the elderly and boosting local spending.

    For a two-week period starting from Wednesday, card holders will receive an $8 reward for every $100 spent with participating businesses -- with a maximum rebate amount capped at $800 per user.
    Starting from last Sunday, residents aged 60 or over now need to use a JoyYou card in in order to benefit from $2 public transport concessionary fares. The change was introduced to tackle fraudulent
    use of anonymous cards by non-eligible travellers.
    So will this promotion encourage older people to go out and about more frequently? And will it help to boost consumption?
    After 9:45, we'll learn more about Australia's new "right to disconnect law", for employees when they're off duty. It's similar to laws in some parts of Europe and Latin America. But could such a concept ever take hold here?
