Hong Kong police have arrested a 79-year-old cabby on suspicion of knocking down an elderly woman with his vehicle in North Point in the early hours of Sunday. The force said the taxi driver was driving along Java Road when he allegedly struck the 74-year-old woman as she was crossing the street shortly before 3am. The victim, who was found in a semi-conscious state, was rushed to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital for treatment. Police officers subsequently arrested the cabby on suspicion of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm. He is currently being held for questioning. Authorities previously faced renewed calls for stricter health checks on older cabbies after a Filipino tourist was killed last year by a taxi driven by an 80-year-old. The incident was among a series of serious accidents involving elderly drivers. The government subsequently suggested lowering the age threshold for mandatory medical certification for commercial vehicle...

A Hong Kong dancer paralysed in an accident 3½ years ago during a concert by popular boy band Mirror has had a breakthrough in his rehabilitation, regaining some mobility in his right arm and sensation when answering the call of nature, with the help of technology and his religious beliefs, his father has said. The update on Mo Li Ka-yin’s condition on Saturday followed an earlier social media post showing him holding a stick upright and moving it around, which the dancer said would help strengthen some of the muscles required for using an electric wheelchair. “It has been over 3½ years. Throughout this long journey, Mo’s body has been like a computer that suddenly shut down – severed nerves cut off all connections. When the system finally rebooted, the old settings had completely vanished,” his father, Reverend Derek Li Shing-lam, said in a prayer letter posted on social media....

Transport authorities have warned of heavier traffic on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge from Sunday because of the combined effect of a key link’s suspension in Zhuhai and increased travel over Lunar New Year. A temporary link between the mega bridge’s Zhuhai Port and Qinglu South Road will be closed for repairs from Sunday until further notice, with Hong Kong’s Transport Department urging users to plan ahead and use public transport as far as possible. Drivers could access the Zhuhai Port via the G94 Pearl River Delta Ring Expressway, a department spokesman said. According to Zhuhai authorities, the temporary link bridge was designed to serve until a municipal bridge connecting the port and Qinglu South Road was completed by the end of 2027. However, heavy use has taken its toll earlier than expected and a safety hazard was found recently. The closure could affect traffic on neighbouring roads because of the...

【美軍稱在加勒比海襲擊一艘「販毒船」　打死3人】 當地時間2月13日，美軍南方司令部在社交媒體發布消息稱，美軍「南方之矛」聯合特遣部隊對一艘由「被認定的恐怖組織」運營的船隻實施「致命打擊」。 美軍南方司令部稱，有情報顯示，該船隻「正沿加勒比海已知的販毒路線航行，並參與販毒活動」。行動中，三名「販毒恐怖分子」被打死，美軍人員無傷亡。 自去年9月初以來，美軍在加勒比海和東太平洋對美方指稱的所謂「販毒船」進行多次打擊，並於11月13日宣布發起「南方之矛」軍事行動。然而，美國政府並未公布任何可以證明其攻擊目標涉毒的證據。 Facebook

The authority managing Hong Kong’s West Kowloon arts hub has averted a funding crisis after obtaining a longer-than-usual 10-year loan facility of HK$3 billion, which comes in addition to a US$1 billion (US$383.8 million) bond sale programme announced earlier. The financing would provide a much-needed lifeline to the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority in the coming decade before its residential property development could start to generate income, board chairman Bernard Chan said on Friday. “The loan facility will bridge a funding gap, and the significance is that the bank is confident about our future ability to make money,” Chan said. The authority said it had signed the HK$3 billion, 10-year loan facility agreement with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia), or ICBC. The duration is unusually long, as such deals are normally five years in the city. ICBC (Asia) chairman and executive director Liu Yagan said that along...
