    Lando Norris' first F1 World Drivers' Championship win / Wig requirement dropped for some UK courts / Under-16s social media ban kicks-off in Australia / Hong Kong’s Taoist festivals

    On Friday's programme, we talked about McLaren's Lando Norris' first F1 World Drivers' Championship win. A former racing driver discussed the significance of Norris becoming Britain's first world champion since Lewis Hamilton.

    We then turned our attention to the courtroom, where barristers in the UK have won the right to ditch a traditional headpiece: the wig.

     

    After the break, we took a closer look at how people are coping with the world's first social media ban that was earlier implemented in Australia, targeting under 16s.

    And finally, we concluded the show by talking to a historian about a once-in-a-decade Taoist festival to ward off angry spirits.

    School dropout cases / New traffic regulations

    Presenters:Tony Sabine and CM Chan

    On today's Backchat, we're looking into school dropout rates.

    This comes after local NGO Youth Outreach warned that over 20,000 Hong Kong school pupils are at risk of dropping out, with 60 percent reported to be below 15.
    The group is calling on the Education Bureau to strengthen its reporting mechanism, stressing that the current system in place may not be strict enough. Under the current guidelines, schools have to report pupils who are absent for more than seven consecutive days but those coming for just an hour a week are not counted.
    After 9:45, we learn more about the new traffic regulations taking effect on Saturday.


    9:05am-9:45am: School dropout cases

    9:05am-9:45am: Adrianne Tsang, Manager of Project Cool Teen at Youth Outreach

    9:05am-9:30am: Gerry Postiglione, Emeritus and Honorary Professor, Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong

    9:30am-9:45am: Pauline Chow,Chairwoman of the Hong Kong Women Teachers’ Organisation


    9:45am-10:00am: New traffic regulations

    9:45am-10:00am: Peter Goh, CEO of the Hong Kong, China Automobile Association
