    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.

    Premium taxi licenses / Smartphone stethoscope

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we're talking about premium taxis.

    The first such luxury cabs are expected to hit the streets in the next few months, with more than 1,500 to follow by next year, after transport authorities approved five premium taxi fleet licenses.
    Fleet operators will be required to accept e-payment and use vehicles less than three years old, while passengers will also be given the option to book the cabs online.
    The move was largely welcomed by taxi representatives, although critics have challenged the "premium" designation, arguing that such standards should be imposed on all of the city's 18,000 cabs. Questions have also been raised about the lack of newcomers, as the approved operators are all well established in the city's taxi trade.
    Is this a step in the right direction? Tell us what you think.
    After 9:45, we're talking about a new medical-grade smartphone stethoscope which can help detect heart diseases.
