    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.

    Mainland's economic development / Behavioural study on Ocean Park panda

    Presenters:Brian Wong and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we’re talking about economic reforms on the mainland. The head of the State Council’s Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office Xia Baolong called on the two SARs businesses to seize opportunities in the GBA and beyond, while highlighting Hong Kong’s super connector role for international enterprises. The comments come as President Xi Jinping issued a reply letter to Hong Kong entrepreneurs with family ties to Ningbo, urging them to leverage their strengths and contribute to Chinese modernisation.

    Meanwhile, a communiqué summarising last month’s third plenum pledged to continuity in facilitating foreign investments, while signalling that local authorities could be given more say on certain issues . 

    How should we interpret these developments?

    After 9:45, we’ll talk about an Ocean Park study on the late panda An An.
