    Pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses / Storm scare on a Hong Kong-bound flight

    On Friday's Backchat, we're discussing ongoing pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses.

    Dubbed as the "most sweeping and prolonged" demonstrations since the Vietnam war protests in the 1960s and 70s, the current unrest has seen dozens of students occupying campuses around the country, demanding universities divest from companies with reported ties to the Israeli military.
    Over 1,300 protesters have been arrested throughout the US in the last two weeks, following clashes between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian protesters.
    There’ve also been protests in Europe, once again igniting discussion over the polarising effect conflicts in the Middle East can have on tertiary institutions around the world.
    Supporters of the movement have called on universities to uphold their right to peaceful protest and free speech while critics argue the this has led to an increase in antisemitic acts of violence.
    How do you think universities should handle these protests? Is the clampdown on protests also a clampdown on free speech?
    After 9:45, we talk about Tuesday night's rainstorm, which left dozens of Hong Kong-bound flights diverted to nearby airports and some passengers traumatised over failed landing attempts.

    Flexible working trends / China Space Day

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Janice Wong

    On Thursday's Backchat, we’re asking if flexible working is becoming the new normal.

    Singapore has just announced that employers must consider employees’ requests for four-day weeks and work from home from December onwards.
    First introduced in response to COVID, hybrid working has also become a permanent feature of working life at many workplaces in Hong Kong, allowing employers to save money on office space w45am-10:00amhile boosting workers’ morale.
    So should Hong Kong follow Singapore’s example and introduce a formal process for employees to request flexible work arrangements? We'll find out.
    After 9:45, we'll talk about China's Space Day, which coincides with the launch of the Shenzhou-18 spaceship.
