    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.

    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.
