    Donald Trump's victory

    On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus talks about Donald Trump's return to the White House.
    The 78-year-old secured over 270 Electoral Colleges and 50.9 percent of the popular votes against incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris' 48.6 percent and is on track to become the first Republican president to win the popular vote in 20 years.
    From his felony conviction over a hush money payment to his stance on the January 6 Capitol insurrection, Mr Trump's campaign was riddled by controversies but this did not deter his supporters.
    Immigration curbs and trade tariffs are also expected to be high on the president-elect's agenda, although questions remain as to how protectionist the upcoming US administration will be.

    New penalty system for power outages / Suspected poisoning of a guide dog

    Presenters:Janice Wong and Paul Zimmerman

    On Friday‘s Backchat we are talking about the new penalty system for power outages.

    The government reached an agreement with Hong Kong’s two power firms to fine them for major supply disruptions. The size of the fine depends on how many people are affected, and for how long.

    For example, a power disruption with a combined 15 million minutes will cost CLP around HK$20 million. Hongkong Electric will have to pay the same amount for an outage that lasts 10 million minutes.

    But some lawmakers are questioning how effective this penalty system is – pointing out that fines could be offset by an existing system that rewards the power companies for restoring power.

    After 9:45am, we look at the suspected poisoning of a guide dog at a Tseung Kwan O mall.

    9:05-9:30am Gary Zhang, lawmaker

    9:05am-9:45am Dr. William Yu Yuen-ping, Chief Executive of World Green Organisation
