    75 years of China-Russia ties / Lebanon developments: on the verge of an all out war?

    On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus talks about China-Russia relations, as the two countries mark 75 years of bilateral ties.

    In a congratulatory message sent to his counterpart Vladimir Putin, President Xi Jinping said that China stood ready to deepen "practical cooperation" with Russia, which was among the first countries to recognise the PRC.
    The bolstering of ties between the two neighbours comes amidst rising geopolitical tensions, with China expected to play a more prominent role in ceasefire talks surrounding the war in Ukraine.
    The two leaders are expected to meet later this month at the BRICS Summit in the southwestern Russian city of Kazan.
    In the second part of the programme, we talk about the latest developments in the Middle East, following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iran's launch of over 100 missiles at Israel.

    Taxi vs ride-hailing rivalry / Hong Kong's first breastmilk bank

    Presenters:Andrew Work and Ada Wong

    On today's Backchat, we're talking about heightened tensions between ride-hailing providers and taxi drivers.

    Cab drivers last week held an "undercover operation" in a move to tackle ride-hailing services, by posing as Uber passengers and calling the police when reaching their destination.
    Speaking to RTHK, the chairman of the Hong Kong Taxi and Public Light Bus Association Chow Kwok-keung said that he did not approve of drivers taking the matter into their own hand but called on the authorities to take more stringent action, saying that only 33 prosecutions were launched over unlicensed ride-hailing services last year.
    This comes as the government announced an increase of HK$2 dollars in flagfalls, citing rising insurance premium and higher maintenance costs.
    Is it time to clamp down on ride-hailing services once and for all? Or should the government create a legal framework to let other players into the market?
    After 9:45, we look into Hong Kong's first breastmilk bank which is poised to open next year.


    9:05am-9:45am: Taxi vs ride-hailing rivalry
