    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.

    Hong Kong's new garbage bins and recycling subsidies / Hong Kong's falling rankings in reading

    Presenters:Danny Gittings and Paul Zimmerman

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re discussing recycling after an audit report found that recycling firms applying for the government subsidies may need to wait 18 months for approval.

    Critics say this long delay may make it difficult for embattled recyclers to stay afloat.
    The government also plans to phase out roadside recycling bins and give orange rubbish bins a facelift. The new style rubbish bins will have a smaller opening to try and stop people using them to throw away large items.
    So what we can do to help the local recycling industry? Will the new rubbish bins achieve their purpose? Or will people just dump their garbage directly on the streets instead.
    After 9:45, we talk about Hong Kong’s falling rankings in reading.
