    Dead whale in Tai O / Busan meeting on plastic pollution / Plummeting heart transplant figures

    On Tuesday’s Backchat, we’re talking about the stranded whale that died in the waters off Tai O.

    Experts say a bag found in the whale’s digestive system likely contributed to the death, and there were also superficial injuries on its carcass.
    It’s not the first time a whale has been found dead in Hong Kong waters, with a young male dying last summer from suspected propeller injuries.
    So have our waters become too dangerous for marine mammals? Will government proposals to ban some whale-watching activities help?
    After 9:30, we’ll speak to environmentalists who are back from a conference in South Korea on how to reduce plastic pollution.
    After 9:45, we’ll talk to a cardiologist, as Hong Kong is on track to record its lowest number of heart transplants since 2011.

    Hong Kong's friendliness to people with disabilities / BOCHK Science and Innovation Prize / Operation Santa Claus 2024

    Presenters:Brian Wong and Car Ha

    On Wednesday’s Backchat, we’re talking about Hong Kong’s friendliness to people with disabilities.

    This comes as Paralympic athlete Ho Yuen-kei was barred from entering a Causeway Bay restaurant, after being told that her wheelchair could obstruct other patrons. The eatery’s management later apologized, promising to offer more disability awareness training to its staff.
    Rights’ groups have called on the Equal Opportunities’ Commission to enhance anti-discrimination education, adding that it was not the first time a disabled person had been denied service in Hong Kong.
    Last July, two visually impaired passengers were required to leave a Tokyo-bound flight after staff were unsure whether the pair could travel unaccompanied.
    Have you or a loved one ever been denied service on the ground of disability? And how can we make Hong Kong more accessible to the disabled?
    After 9:30, we speak to the organisers of the BOCHK Science and Innovation Prize 2024.
    And after 9:45, RTHK’s Jim Gould joins us to talk about Operation Santa Claus 2024.
