    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.

    Regulation of Hong Kong's home decoration services / Hong Kong's first hydrogen double decker bus

    主持人:Jenny Lam and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we're looking at whether home renovation services need to be regulated.

    The Consumer Council said it receives hundreds of complaints each year about renovation firms, regarding issues such as the quality of work carried out, completion times and cost disputes.
    It warned that problems can crop up right at the beginning of the process, with a lot of quotations provided by firms leaving a lot to be desired.
    To help resolve the problem, the watchdog is now suggesting the government introduce a standard quotation template, covering things such as separate costs for various materials, labour fees, payment schedules and remedies for any delays, so that potential customers can make meaningful comparisons between various renovation firms.
    How useful would such a system be? Should the industry regulate itself, or is it a job for the government?
    After 9:45am, we’ll find out more about Hong Kong’s first hydrogen-powered double decker that just hit the road today.
