楊何蓓茵：「全政府動員」首次演練將首季進行 部門已編訂輪值名單
As Hong Kong moves towards a full return to normal, Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu told reporters before this morning’s Executive Council meeting that the authorities had been continually summarising experience and improving measures to ensure they could respond to new changes and threats. One such effort was the establishment of a “whole-government mobilisation” mechanism to ensure that sufficient government personnel could be mobilised quickly for immediate responses. Secretary for the Civil Service Yang Ho-pei-yin said the first drill would be held in the first quarter of this year, and that departments had drawn up duty rosters.

陳茂波帶隊 「推廣香港新優勢專責小組」成立 張婉婷加入 為「說好香港故事」獻策
The Policy Address had earlier mentioned forming a task force to devise a strategy for “telling Hong Kong’s story well” overseas. The Government announced last night the establishment of the Task Force on Promoting Hong Kong’s New Advantages, led by Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po. Its members include 11 official members, 22 non-official members and 14 “Hong Kong Team” partner organisations, among them film director Mabel Cheung, who directed the documentary film To My Nineteen-Year-Old Self. Chan said Hong Kong had undergone several years of development and experienced many positive changes, but some people in Hong Kong and overseas had “negative perceptions” because they “do not understand Hong Kong”. Task force member Allan Zeman, chairman of the Lan Kwai Fong Group, told the newspaper that the task force would hold its first meeting next week.
早前《施政報告》提及成立專責小組，制訂策略向外「說好香港故事」，政府昨晚公布成立「推廣香港新優勢專責小組」，由財政司長陳茂波領導，成員包括11名官方成員、22名非官方成員及14個「香港隊」伙伴機構，當中包括拍攝電影紀錄片《給十九歲的我》的電影導演張婉婷。陳茂波形容，香港經幾年發展，有了不少積極變化，但部分海內外人士因「不理解香港」，而有「負面觀感」。小組成員之一、蘭桂坊集團主席盛智文向本報表示，專責小組將於下周舉行首次會議。

「岳義士」事隔三年被警方追討15萬 需向受襲警支付78天病假賠償金
Chan Yi-chun, known as “Yue the hero”, “rescued” a protester from police during a 2019 protest in North Point and suffered a head injury and heavy bleeding while being subdued by officers. He earlier pleaded guilty to assaulting police and other offences and was sentenced to 10 months’ imprisonment. After serving his sentence, he left Hong Kong and now lives in Taiwan. Nearly three and a half years later, Chan received a letter from police seeking more than HK$150,000, saying that he had assaulted Inspector Ma Chi-shing, causing him injuries and resulting in 78 days of paid sick leave. The Hong Kong Police Force had paid the inspector more than HK$150,000 in employee compensation. Chan said he was stunned when he received the letter and described it as “barefaced extortion”.

立會委會紀錄改不具名 秘書處：利公眾掌握要點 議員批削透明度
The Legislative Council’s committees have changed the way meeting records are compiled since the start of the current term, recording lawmakers’ remarks as having been made by “a lawmaker” rather than identifying them by name as in the past. In response to enquiries from this newspaper, the LegCo Secretariat said the change was intended to help the public, lawmakers and officials grasp the meeting process, key points of discussion and responses, and therefore summarised and consolidated the main points of participants’ remarks. Lawmaker Tik Chi-yuen criticised the change as a step backwards that weakened the transparency of the LegCo’s work. He said he would follow up on the matter and urged the Secretariat to restore the previous practice. On whether the previous practice should be restored, several lawmakers said the original recording method was preferable.
立法會各委員會自今屆起改變會議紀要的記錄方式，以「一名議員」記錄議員發言，未有像過往具名。立法會秘書處回覆本報查詢稱，有關改動為方便公眾、議員和官員掌握會議流程、討論要點和回應，因此精簡歸納和整合與會者發言重點。議員狄志遠批評有關改動是倒退，削弱立法會工作透明度，他會跟進事件，並促請秘書處恢復過往做法。對於應否恢復過去做法，多名議員均認為原有記錄方式可取。

立法會委員會紀錄不再列出議員名字 記協促回復以住做法
Ming Pao reported today that the Legislative Council Secretariat has introduced a new arrangement for recording meetings, under which the names of members speaking at committee meetings will no longer be listed during the current term. Instead, they will be identified as “a member”. For members of the public wishing to review the remarks of individual legislators or officials, the Secretariat will instead specify the time markers for the speakers. The Hong Kong Journalists Association criticised the arrangement in a statement, saying it would not help the public grasp the key points of committee discussions and would hinder their understanding of the work of Legislative Council members. It urged the Secretariat to return to its previous practice.
《明報》今日報導，立法會秘書處有新安排，今屆起改變會議紀錄的方式，今後不會列出委員會的發言議員的名字，只會以「一名議員」代替，公眾如欲翻看個別議員或官員發言，秘書處改為列明發言者的標記時間。記協發聲明批評，新安排未能方便公眾掌握會議的討論要點，窒礙市民理解立法會議員的工作，促請立法會秘書處回復以往做法。

李家超指廿三條最遲明年完成立法 稱有人藉「假新聞」洗黑錢
Legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law has recently attracted renewed attention. In an interview with the Hong Kong Commercial Daily, Chief Executive John Lee said the target was to complete the legislative work this year, or next year at the latest. He said that, compared with the 2003 version, the current proposal was more targeted at risks arising from elusive means of espionage, and said the proposal was intended to deter foreign forces. On legislation concerning ‘fake news’, Lee said that after the National Security Law was implemented, “the professionalisation of the media has improved”, but some people still used media work to achieve political aims. He said there were “many” people who crowdfunded and then absconded or laundered money.
基本法廿三條立法近日再備受關注，特首李家超在《商報》訪問透露，目標在今年、最遲下年完成立法工作。他又指相比2003年版本，今次方案更針對間諜活動虛無縹緲手段產生的風險，又指方案要阻嚇外國勢力。有關「假新聞」立法，李家超稱《國安法》實施後，「媒體的專業化有進步」，但仍有人利用媒體工作達到政治目的，他稱有人眾籌後「走佬」或洗黑錢，這些人「大有人在」。

司法機構研究聆訊現場直播 料不包括初選案及黎智英案
The Judiciary proposed remote hearings last year and has a new initiative this year. Chief Justice Andrew Cheung Kui-nung said a working group would be set up to study the feasibility of live-streaming court proceedings, with the aim of implementing it in some levels of courts within the year. It initially considers live-streaming appeals more feasible because they do not involve witnesses. Asked whether cases attracting public attention, including national security law cases, would be live-streamed, he said some national security law cases were due to begin soon and it might not be possible to do so in time, but the feasibility of live-streaming future national security law cases would be studied.
司法機構去年提出遙矩聆訊，今年再有新猷，終審法院首席法官張舉能表示，將成立工作小組探討現場直播法庭程序的可行性，目標今年內將在部分層級法院實施，初步認為上訴案因為不涉及證人，安排較為可行。被問國安法等公眾關注的案件會否直播，他指部分國安法案件即將進行，未必來得及，但會研究未來國安法案件直播可行性

夏寶龍稱國安法具凌駕性 與本地法律不一致特區應修改
Speaking at a seminar organised by the National Hong Kong and Macao Studies Association, Xia Baolong said that to fully and accurately implement the Hong Kong National Security Law, it was necessary to uphold the complementary roles of central leadership and the SAR’s primary responsibility, with neither being dispensable. He said the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress had given the Hong Kong National Security Law overriding status and legal effect of priority application when enacting it. Where SAR local laws are inconsistent with it, the Hong Kong National Security Law should take precedence, and the SAR should proactively amend and improve its local laws to achieve an organic unity with the Hong Kong National Security Law.
夏寶龍在全國港澳研究會舉辦的研討會上致辭時提到，要全面準確實施香港國安法，應堅持中央主導和特區主責相輔相成、缺一不可。全國人大常委會在制定香港國安法時，賦予了其凌駕地位和優先適用的法律效力。當特區本地法律規定與其不一致時，應當優先適用香港國安法，特區應主動修改、完善本地法律，使本地法律與香港國安法實現有機統一。
