    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.

    Rising international school demand / Voluntary insurance scheme Chinese medicine expansion plans

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Ada Wong

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about the rise in student numbers at international schools.

    The Education Bureau revealed student enrolment at international schools hit an 11-year high, up 18 percent since 2013. But student numbers at government and aided schools fell by 12 percent over the same period, as the city faces low birth rates coupled with many families taking up the UK’s BNO visa scheme.
    And studying in Britain is about to become more expensive for many Hong Kong students as the new government plans to add a 20 percent tax to private school fees. So will these higher fees encourage more families to keep their children in Hong Kong instead? And why are Hong Kong’s international schools becoming so popular?
    After 9:45, we're talking about plans to add Chinese medicine hospital services to the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme.
