    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.

    COP28 developments / Hong Kong reef check

    Presenters:Jim Gould and Ada Wong

    On Tuesday’s Backchat, we're talking about developments and arguments at the climate summit in Dubai.  

    The two-week event began last Thursday with delegates agreeing to a new fund to help nations suffering damage caused by the climate crisis.

    And about 100 countries have promised to triple renewable energy use by 2030.  

    But controversy has arisen after it emerged that the president of the COP28 summit, Sultan Al Jaber, had claimed there was “no science” to state that phasing out fossil fuels was necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Environmental groups want more pressure on oil and gas companies to cease production.

    After 9:45am, we’ll look at the health of Hong Kong’s reef and marine biodiversity.

    9:05-9:30am Athena Yau and Joanne Chu, CCIL’s youth delegates in Dubai

    9:05am-9:45am Priscilla lin, COP26, COP27 Youth Delegate and the Co-Founder of Solmunity and The Shared Meal
