The Pulse

Type:VideoLanguage:EnglishCategories:Current AffairsStatus:On going Description: RTHK's English-language current affairs programme that takes "The Pulse" of Hong Kong ... and the world around it.

"The Pulse" is presented by locally and internationally known journalist and writer Steve Vines.

Its focus? The latest events and trends that affect Hong Kong - from the corridors of power and business boardrooms, to the streets and dai pai dongs.

"The Pulse" is politics. What's happening in the Legislative Council and on the streets right now.

"The Pulse" is the media, informing us how well or badly our press and broadcast organisations diagnose and reflect the society around us.

"The Pulse" is insightful, in-depth reports and interviews on current issues - examining those issues in depth, looking behind and beyond the news.

Its focus is on the timely. The Now.

Keep your eye ... and your finger ... on "The Pulse".

If you want to discuss anything you've seen in "The Pulse", or anything in the public eye right now, or just to talk about the show, why not join in the debate on our Facebook page

Occupy Central Deliberations 00:22:13 2013-06-14
On Thursday this week, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying warned that IF Hong Kong had full universal suffrage Beijing might not accept the democratic choice of the Hong Kong people. He also said that the government has not yet even decided on a timetable for consultations on the topic. It’s against the backdrop of such apparent foot-dragging, and hints that universal suffrage in Hong Kong may be universal suffrage with “Chinese characteristics”, that a movement now named “Occupy Central With Love and Peace” has come about. The group had its first Deliberation Day last Sunday, and it’s the Occupy Central movement that takes up the whole of our show this week.
