    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.

    Public Housing abuse / China Manned Space Exhibition

    Presenters:Jim Gould and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we're talking about efforts to tackle abuse of the public housing system, and also waiting times for a public rental flat.  

    Latest data from the Housing Authority shows that the average wait increased to 5.6 years in the third quarter, from 5.3 in the previous period.

    The authority has warned that the waiting time could rise further in the first half of next year, but it says the situation is under control and housing supply is expected to pick up in 2024.

    Meanwhile, more than 50 households living in government-subsidized units have been found to own their own properties in the city, after tighter checking procedures came into effect.  

    The director of housing has said that tenants who inform the authority about possible abuse of the system by their neighbours may be rewarded for doing so.  


    After 9:45am, we look at the China Manned Space Exhibition which is taking place in the Space Museum.

    9:05-9:30am Cleresa Wong Pie-yue, Chairman of the Subsidized Housing Committee and a member of the Strategic Planning Committee

    9:05am-9:45am Dr Rita Li, Director of Sustainable Real Estate Research Center; Associate Professor, Department of Economics and Finance, HK Shue Yan University

    9:30am-9:45am Sze Lai-shan, Deputy Director, The Society for Community Organisation

    9:45am-10:00am Lawrence Lee, Museum Director of the Hong Kong Science Museum
