    US government shutdown / Ngong Ping 360 hiking pass / Upgraded 18111 hotline / East Kowloon Cultural Centre officially opened

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we looked back at the US government shutdown. Senate approved a compromise that would end the longest government shutdown in US history. Millions of needy Americans faced not getting food benefits and thousands of federal workers were unpaid, while the aviation sector plunged into a crisis. The bill, which is a temporary package, will now be signed by US President Donald Trump. We talked to experts about whether this will lead to a permanent solution, or if another shutdown could be around the corner. 
    After the break, we heard from the Managing Director of Ngong Ping 360 about a new hiking pass that promotes green tourism in Lantau. 
    We also learned about a new mental health support hotline launched by the government, and wrapped up the programme with a look at the city's newest cultural venue that integrates arts and technology - the East Kowloon Cultural Centre in Ngau Tau Kok.

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Janice Wong

    On Thursday's Backchat, we're talking about the government’s new road map to help transport operators go green.

    More than HK$600 million of public funds will be spent subsidising the purchase of 600 electric buses and 3,000 electric taxis, as part of a blueprint to turn Hong Kong into a carbon neutral city by 2050.

    There are also plans to boost the number of electric charging stations, with at least 500 fast chargers expected to be in place by 2027.

    After 9:30, we find out about proposals to make CCTV cameras and e-payment compulsory in all taxis by 2026.

    And after 9:45,we loo into plans to delay amendments to anti-smoking regulations.
