On Friday's Backchat, we spoke to the head of the Law Society, Roden Tong, about what he hopes to achieve during his upcoming trip to the Middle East. Tong is part of Chief Executive John Lee’s delegation seeking to explore new opportunities in Qatar and Kuwait.

We then looked at the issue of advanced maternal age and the health risks associated with it. It comes as more women opt to start a family later in life, with one local actor's wife announcing her pregnancy at 58.


After 9.30, we discussed kindergarten closures, as a local school announced shutting down two of its branches.


And after 9.45, we talked about US president Donald Trump's recent announcement of tariffs on non-US films.
