    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.

    Taylor Swift phenomenon / Hong Kong's increasing obesity rates

    Presenters:Jim Gould and Car Ha

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we're looking into the Taylor Swift phenomenon.
    With many millions of fans globally, the 34-year old singer is regarded as one of the most popular of our times, with surveys estimating that more than half of US adults identify as "Swifties".
    In south-east Asia, she's currently performing six sold-out concerts in Singapore before a total of 300,000 fans, with some analysts suggesting that 70 percent of them are from overseas.
    The Singapore government has said a grant paid to the singer to perform in the city is not as generous as some reports have stated, but the economic benefits make it good business.
    Could other cities, including Hong Kong, replicate Singapore's strategy?
    After 9:45, we'll talk about calls for Hong Kongers to lose weight and exercise more, with figures showing that half the population is overweight.
