梁振英自爆曾約見《蘋果》廣告客戶 大公報當年指特首「被屈」 引特首辦稱「絕無此事」
Following the court’s conviction of Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai Chee-ying for conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and conspiracy to publish seditious publications, former Chief Executive and Vice-Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference CY Leung Chun-ying wrote on social media yesterday (18th) that, over a number of years, he had publicly named Apple Daily advertisers and, in his capacity as chief executive, proactively arranged meetings with the newspaper’s major advertisers. He said this ultimately reduced Apple Daily’s full-page and half-page advertising to “close to zero”. Reports show that Apple Daily reported on 28 May 2014 that, in addition to Standard Chartered Group receiving an “order”, Leung had personally, or through his “Leung fans”, explicitly or implicitly indicated to business and tourism-sector figures that they should not advertise in Apple Daily. The following day, the official media outlet Ta Kung Pao said that Apple Daily had “wronged the chief executive” and that the Chief Executive’s Office had stated there was “absolutely no such thing”. Eleven years later, Leung’s article ultimately confirmed the report.
壹傳媒創辦人黎智英被法院裁定串謀勾結外國勢力，以及串謀發布煽動刊物罪成，前特首、全國政協副主席梁振英昨日（18 日）在社交平台撰文，指他以往多年來透過公開點名，又以特首身份主動約見《蘋果日報》的大廣告客戶，最終讓《蘋果》的全版和半版廣告「壓縮到接近零」。翻查報道，《蘋果日報》在 2014 年 5 月 28 日曾經報道，除了渣打集團收到「下令」之外，梁振英曾親自或透過「梁粉」向商界及旅遊界明示或暗示不應在《蘋果》賣廣告。翌日，官媒《大公報》就稱「《蘋果》屈特首」，又指特首辦表明「絕無此事」。十一年過去，梁振英文章最終證實了消息。

47人案｜無綫播趙家賢出獄後專訪 稱由修例風波至初選「背後有人操控」
In the democratic primary election case involving 47 people, Andrew Chiu Ka-yin, who pleaded guilty and became a prosecution witness, was found by the court to be a “principal offender” and sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment after a sentence reduction. It was reported earlier that he had received a remission of his prison sentence, making him the first defendant in the case to be released early. TVB aired an interview with Chiu after his release on Monday. He appeared noticeably thinner, with the voice-over saying that he had “lost 60 pounds”.
Recalling 2019, Chiu said in the interview: “From the extradition bill controversy to the riots and then to the primary election case, it was actually all part of the same playbook. There were people with ulterior motives manipulating it behind the scenes.” He also said: “At the time, Uncle Deng [referring to Deng Xiaoping] put it very figuratively: the development of democracy has to proceed step by step; trying to achieve it too quickly will prevent its achievement. That was exactly what happened in 2019.”
Chiu also said he wanted to sincerely apologise to the country, Hong Kong and the general public for having “challenged the HKSAR Government and the country’s constitutional order” in the primary election case.
民主派初選 47 人案中，選擇認罪、成為控方證人的趙家賢，被法庭裁斷為「首要分子」，經減刑後判監 7 年，早前有報道指他獲獄中減刑，成為案中首名提早獲釋的被告。《無綫》周一播出趙家賢出獄後的專訪，畫面所見趙明顯清減，旁白指他「瘦咗 60 磅」。
趙在訪問中回憶 2019 年，稱「修例風波去到暴亂，去到初選案，其實整體係一個套路，背後係有啲別有用心嘅人士 ，喺後面操控住佢」，又稱「當時鄧伯伯（指鄧小平），係好形象化咁樣講，民主嘅發展係要一步一步走，欲速則不達，2019 年正正就係咁樣」。
趙又稱，要為自己在初選案中「衝擊咗特區政府，以及係國家嘅憲制秩序」，向國家、香港及市民大眾誠摯道歉。

宏福苑五級火｜鄧炳強去信華爾街日報 稱社評試圖抹黑詆毀香港
Secretary for Security Chris Tang wrote to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), saying its editorial, “No Fire Critics Allowed in Hong Kong,” about the five-alarm fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po was biased and completely unfounded, and sought to smear and denigrate Hong Kong, which he said was deeply regrettable.
Several media outlets quoted Tang as saying in the letter that the HKSAR Government’s top priority was to provide comprehensive support to those affected, including financial assistance, accommodation arrangements and psychological counselling. However, the WSJ editorial did not mention this at all.
Although the cause of the fire has yet to be determined, Tang said the investigation was under way and law enforcement agencies had taken action. Police arrested 15 people involved in the case on suspicion of manslaughter, while the Independent Commission Against Corruption also arrested 12 people during its investigation. The Government also announced that it would establish an independent committee chaired by a judge, with experienced professionals among its members, to comprehensively review the incident. The move would help overcome obstacles that any vested interests might create, hold those responsible to account, and reform the system related to building construction to prevent similar tragedies from occurring again.
保安局局長鄧炳強去信《華爾街日報》（WSJ），指該報一篇針對大埔宏福苑五級火的社評〈No Fire Critics Allowed in Hong Kong〉偏頗及毫無根據，試圖抹黑詆毀香港，令人深感遺憾。
多間媒體引述指，鄧炳強在信中說特區政府當前最首要的任務是為受災人士提供全方位支援，包括經濟援助、住宿安排、心理輔導等，不過《WSJ》的社評完全未提及這點。
雖然火災起因尚待確定，但鄧炳強指調查工作正在進行中，執法部門已展開行動，警方以涉嫌「誤殺」拘捕 15 名涉案人員，而廉政公署亦在調查過程中拘捕 12 人。另外，政府宣布會成立由法官主持的獨立委員會，成員將包括有經驗的專業人士，並會全方位審視事件；此舉將有助於克服任何既得利益者（可能製造）的障礙，追究責任，同時改革樓宇建造相關制度，防止未來再次發生類似悲劇。

宏福苑五級火｜收「準確情報」 遇「不可抗力因素」 KOL 不再評大火 下架、被捕、約談事件盤點
After the fire, foreign media widely pointed the finger at bamboo scaffolding. KOL Ellie Yuen produced English short videos explaining the exorbitantly expensive repair works and why bamboo scaffolding was not the culprit behind the fire, among other points. The two videos accumulated more than 5 million views on social media over the past week. Student Hailey Cheng Hei-lam, who previously exposed the “藥倍安心” incident, gave interviews about the matter to multiple foreign media outlets and posted comments in Chinese and English on social media several times.
Hailey Cheng: Received “very accurate intelligence” and will no longer post comments about the fire
Cheng’s active Threads and X accounts were found to be inaccessible for a time yesterday (the 3rd). She later posted to report that she was safe, but said last night that she had received “very accurate intelligence” and would no longer continue posting comments about the fire or accept any media interviews. Ellie Yuen earlier posted that she had received multiple direct messages asking her to “explain and clarify” the content she had published. Last night, she stated that her work on news coverage related to the Wang Fuk Court fire had ended, citing “obvious force majeure factors”, and said there would be no further comments, supplementary information or other related work.
火災之後外媒紛紛將矛頭指向竹棚，KOL Ellie Yuen 製作英文短片，解釋天價維修工程、為何竹棚非火災的罪魁禍首等，兩短片過去一週在社交平台累積逾 500 萬觀看次數。曾揭發「藥倍安心」事件的學生鄭曦琳 Hailey ，就事件接受多間外媒訪問，亦多次在社交平台以中英文發表評論。
鄭曦琳：收「非常準確的情報」不再發表火災留言
鄭曦琳活躍的 Threads 和 X 帳號昨日（3日）一度被發現無法查看，她其後發文報平安，惟昨晚表示收到「非常準確的情報」，不會再繼續發表關於火災的留言、也不再接受任何媒體訪問；Ellie Yuen 早前發文指自己收到多個私訊要求其「解釋、澄清」自己發布的內容，昨晚則明言，就宏福苑火災相關新聞工作已結束「基於顯然易見的不可抗力因素，並無進一步評論、補充或其他相關工作」。

陳文敏告別《明報》專欄：知道這一天總會來臨
Johannes Chan, former Chair Professor of Public Law at the University of Hong Kong, today said farewell to the Ming Pao column he had written for nearly 23 years. In an article titled “Farewell” in his column “Legal and Political Essays”, he said it was his final article for the column. He did not explain the reason for the farewell, but said, “I knew this day would eventually come; being able to write until today is actually no small achievement,” and apologised to his editorial colleagues for the “pressure and worries” he had brought them. A review of records shows that multiple government departments had repeatedly written to Ming Pao to rebut and even condemn Chan’s commentaries.
香港大學前公法講座教授陳文敏，今「告別」撰寫了近 23 年的《明報》專欄。他今在專欄「法政隨筆」中， 發表題為《告別》的文章，指是在專欄最後一篇文章。他沒有解釋「告別」原因，但指「知道這一天總會來臨，能寫到今天其實已經難能可貴」，亦為編輯部同事「帶來的壓力與擔憂致歉」。翻查資料，政府多個部門屢去信《明報》，反駁以至譴責陳文敏的評論文章。

網媒《巴士的報》刊登法庭內拍攝相片 司法機構：已交警方處理，不評論
On 19 November, online outlet The Bastille Post published an article alleging that social activist Tsang Kin-shing and a former assistant to Hui Chi-fung had formed a “queueing gang” that obtained queue tickets in a national security case and distributed them to foreign consulates and “yellow media”. It also published photos taken inside the courtroom and lobby of the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, claiming that British Deputy Consul-General in Hong Kong Tou Ka-wing had “used” the group to obtain a ticket. The law prohibits photography inside courts. The Judiciary replied on the evening of 21 November that the matter had been referred to the police and declined to comment. The Bastille Post deleted the allegedly unlawful photos that evening, but did not remove the article. On 22 November, it replied that the blogging platform would handle the matter in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.

論壇助選團受訪指不清楚候選人 有線新聞片段突下架兼刪文
The Government began holding multiple election forums yesterday (11th) to create an election atmosphere, with media outlets attending to cover them. Some media filmed campaign teams needing to bring “cheat sheets” even to chant slogans. i-CABLE News also interviewed campaign teams at a forum, and many interviewees said they did not know who the candidates were. The related news report was suddenly taken down several hours after it was broadcast.
i-CABLE News covered yesterday’s first forum for the New Territories West South geographical constituency and interviewed campaign team members. One person admitted that “the head of the fellow-provincials association told us to come and campaign”. The reporter then asked them to name the five candidates in New Territories West South. Two said they were not very clear, adding that they “didn’t know they were suddenly told to come and attend a forum”.
The report was broadcast in the afternoon, but the social media platform Party Media Tracker said the news clip had been removed by the evening. This publication’s reporter checked i-CABLE News’ social media platforms and official website and confirmed that the campaign team interview clip had disappeared. On the website, only text versions of several reports about the first day’s forums remained, including “Government to hold 39 forums from today, with New Territories West South first; Erick Tsang hopes members of the public will get to know the candidates”, “Government to hold 39 forums from today; Erick Tsang describes atmosphere as enthusiastic and proceedings as orderly”, and “Five New Territories North candidates attend debate, focusing on shipping centre and livelihood issues”, concerning the second forum held that day.
政府昨日（11日）起舉辦多場選舉論壇，以營造選舉氣氛，多家傳媒都有到場採訪。有傳媒拍攝到助選團連叫口號都要帶備「貓紙」，而有線新聞亦於論壇會場訪問助選團，不少受訪者都表示不清楚候選人是誰，而相關新聞在播出幾小時後突然下架。
有線新聞昨日採訪首場新界西南地方選區的論壇，記者訪問了助選團，有人坦承只是「同鄉會負責人叫我們來助選」，記者之後請他們數出新界西南5位候選人，有兩人表示不太清楚，更指「不知道突然叫過來說有論壇聽」。
報道於下午播出，但據社媒平台《追蹤黨媒》指出，該段新聞片段已於傍晚下架。本台記者翻查《有線新聞》各社交平台及官網，證實助選團訪問的片段已消失。至於官網方面，首日論壇的相關新聞，只餘幾則新聞的文字版本，包括「政府今起辦39場論壇 新界西南打頭陣 曾國衞盼市民認識候選人」、「政府今起辦39場論壇 曾國衞形容氣氛熱烈、情況有序」、以及同日第二場論壇的「新界東北五候選人出席辯論 聚焦航運中心及民生議題」。
