    Leadership crisis in France and Germany / Devastating cyclone in the French territory of Mayotte

    On Friday’s Global Focus, we’re looking at the latest developments in the European Union.

    From the collapse of the French government earlier this month to the dismantling of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition over a no-confidence vote, the two largest EU economies are facing an unprecedented leadership crisis, plunging the 27-member bloc into rising socio-economic uncertainty.
    French President Emmanuel Macron is currently struggling on with a seemingly weak administration and without any budget for 2025, forcing lawmakers to roll over this year’s financial blueprint instead.
    Meanwhile in Germany, early snap elections in February could significantly weaken the pro-EU camp, as the rising far-right AfD campaigns to reassess the country’s EU membership.
    Are the European Union’s institutions strong enough to withstand this growing uncertainty? We’ll find out.
    After 9:50, we’re talking about the devastating cyclone which ripped through the Comoros archipelago of Mayotte, France’s most impoverished territory.

    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
