    Hong Kong airport development plans / Discussion with a local doctor back from Gaza

    On today's Backchat, we're talking about developments at the airport.

    In its annual report, the Airport Authority revealed that passenger traffic had reached 80 percent of pre-pandemic levels, with full recovery expected by the end of this year.
    The numbers come as the three-runway system is poised to be commissioned around the same time, while the main terminal will be integrated with SKYCITY and Tung Chung through an autonomous transport system poised to start in 2028.
    But despite the encouraging figures, it isn't all plain sailing. Speaking to local media, the authority's acting CEO Vivian Cheung warned that Russian airspace restrictions remained a hindrance, as Western carriers are banned from flying over Russia owing to sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine, leading to greater fuel costs.
    How well is the airport's recovery proceeding? Is Hong Kong keeping up with the competition? How much of an impact do geopolitical conflicts have? We'll talk to the experts.
    After 9:45, we speak to a doctor who just came back from Gaza.

    French legislative election results / Passing of the child abuse reporting law

    Presenters:Andrew Work and Paul Zimmerman

    On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus looks into the French parliamentary election results.

    The right-wing National Rally was beaten into third place by the left-wing New Popular Front, followed by the Macron-led centrist group Renaissance, as several candidates from both the left and centre dropped out of the second round of voting to prevent the rise of Marine Le Pen's party.
    But while the strategy paid off, the New Popular Front failed to gain an absolute majority, meaning that the country's legislature could be paralysed unless opposing political forces can reach an agreement.
    In a letter to the nation, French President Emmanuel Macron saluted French voters' rejection of the National Rally, but acknowledged challenges ahead at a time when different factions hope to head the government.
    Meanwhile, National Rally leader Jordan Bardella blamed an "alliance of dishonour" while adding that his party won the most votes and remained the "only alternative".
    Is France becoming ungovernable? We find out.

    After 9:50, we speak to a children's rights advocate as Legco just passed the child abuse reporting law.
