    US ambitions to "takeover" Greenland / HKJC's new riding school / Baby milk formula recall

    On Friday's programme, we looked at Donald Trump's growing appetite for Greenland. Several high ranking officials from the US President's administration have said they will actively pursue acquiring the vast Danish territory, and Mr Trump has not ruled out using force to do this. The development has shaken European states, and the Danish Prime Minister has again come out and rebuffed Mr Trump. Why is Washington going down this path even though Denmark is a Nato ally? 
    After the break, we've got lawmaker and Sai Kung District Councillor Christine Fong coming on to talk about the new riding school that the Hong Kong Jockey Club wants to build in Tseung Kwan O. It would be the fourth such facility in the city.
    And we talked to a medical expert to learn more about Nestle Hong Kong recalling 21 batches of baby milk formula over a potential toxin contamination.

    Has Hong Kong got too much "red tape"? / Top stories of 2024

    Presenters:Danny Gittings and Tony Sabine

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re talking about mainland residents’ perceptions of Hong Kong.

    A survey of 800 young mainland students and workers found nearly a third believe the SAR has too much red tape across a wide range of issues. Those starting businesses reported having to go through lengthy processes when applying for licenses, while many faced hurdles transferring money back to the mainland.
    The lack of smoking areas was also a common complaint, with some suggesting new tobacco control measures could harm Hong Kong’s attractiveness.
    So how do our regulations governing daily lives differ from the mainland? Do we strike the right balance? Or are we being overprotective? Let us know your thoughts.
    After 9:45, we speak to a media analyst, who will reveal his top 10 Hong Kong stories of 2024.
