    US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement / Greater Bay Airlines flights cancellation saga

    On Thursday's Backchat, we talk about the implications of US President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement.

    For the second time in a decade, the world's top historic emitter of greenhouse gases will be outside of the global pact against climate change, joining Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only countries not taking part.
    Whilst expected, the new administration's decision has drawn strong criticism both at home and abroad, with environmentalists betting on hopes that individual States and corporations would keep playing their part.
    President Trump has repeatedly argued that the agreement was detrimental to the US economy, a claim refuted by some of his closest allies.
    At 9:30, we discuss yet another Executive Order which will pave way for the US exit from the World Health Organisation (WHO).
    And after 9:45, we speak to an aviation sector representative to comment on on the spate of cancellations affecting Greater Bay Airlines flights.

    GLOBAL FOCUS - Democrat vs Republican debate on Radio 3

    主持人:Jenny Lam and Paul Zimmerman

    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.
