    New Orleans terror attack / South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest warrant

    On Friday’s Backchat, Global Focus talks about the New Year’s Day terror attack in the US. At least 15 people were killed and 30 injured when an SUV drove into crowds of revellers in New Orleans.

    The US-born suspect – who is an army veteran - was shot dead by police and is believed to have been inspired by the Islamic State group. Investigators are probing if others were involved, as well as whether there is any connection with a car explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas a few hours earlier.
    Are ISIS-inspired attacks making a comeback?
    After 9:45, we learn about the legal troubles facing impeached Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who now has an arrest warrant over his head following his failed attempt to impose martial law.

    2023 population figures / Calls to better regulate the use of bamboo scaffoldings

    Presenters:Danny Gittings and Philip Wong

    On Thursday's Backchat, we're looking at the latest population figures which show a slight increase in both births as well as the total number of people living in Hong Kong.

    There were 33,200 births last year, according to figures from the Census and Statistics Department, up 2% on the previous year and the first increase since 2017. Hong Kong's population also rose by 0.4% to 7.5 million, something the government attributes to not only new births but also recent talent schemes and Hongkongers returning from overseas.
    However there were still more deaths than births last year and Hong Kong's elderly population is expected to soar to 2.74 million in 2046, up from the current 1.45 million. So what do these figures tell us? We'll find out.
    After 9:45, we get the construction sector's views on calls to better regulate or even ban the use of bamboo scaffolding at construction sites after an accident killed two workers in Kai Tak on Tuesday. We'd love to know what you think.
