大公報がファクトチェックはネットで流布された831の太子站警察暴力での死者リスト。名前や住所など詳しいが全て事実に当たらず、と。蘋果日報は民主派の立法会議員・鄺神こと鄺俊宇が昨日の朝、暴漢三人に襲はれた件。今日の信報専欄は散らかつてしまつた反送中の動きを警察への独立調査委員会設置は当然として運動をもう一度、雨傘運動の原点である普選実現と明確にすることを力説。

posted by Carrie Lam: Hong Kong has faced — and overcome — momentous challenges every decade since the end of World War II. This should tell us something about the people of Hong Kong: They are resilient and resourceful. It should also tell us something about the values that the Hong Kong people share and our common aspiration for a bright future.
This summer’s unrest is another transformative process — if a painful and, at times, depressingly violent one. I reject the use of violence to achieve any political, economic or social outcomes. Violence is not among the actions or values that most people associate with Hong Kong, which has a reputation as a safe and welcoming city. The radical actions of some rioters cannot dictate how to steer Hong Kong through its current difficulties.
Both the community dialogues and my Policy Address are part of a necessary reconciliation process. Deep wounds have been opened in our society. These will take time to heal. But it remains this government’s hope that conversation will triumph over conflict and that through its actions, calm can be restored and trust can be rebuilt within the community. To help create the atmosphere necessary for the community dialogues, I announced earlier this month the formal withdrawal of the bill to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, the so-called extradition bill. The amendments, which were designed to address the shortcomings of existing mechanisms for the surrender of fugitive criminals, were the catalyst for the protests.
▼一昨日迄に沢木耕太郎『キャパへの追走』（文春文庫）読了。以前に同著『キャパの十字架』を読んでゐて、この『追走』はチョートク先生が「あとがき」のことをどこかに書かれてゐたので、それで『十字架』も読んでゐたことだし、で『追走』を読んでみたのだがキャパの時代、時代の見事な一枚を、それが撮影された場所に沢木先生が足を運び、できれば同じアングルから撮つた一枚と、それにまつわる文章。キャパといふ偉大な報道写真かが何のやうにして生まれ死まで生きていつたのか。それにしても一枚、一枚が誰も撮れないやうな被写体、光とアングルの中にゐる。
▼母から貰つて来た『銀座百点』の今年５月号と６月号。５月号での伊東四朗と山川静夫の対談が面白い。松緑（先代）の逸話など本当に松緑の言葉や表情が思ひ浮かぶやうな話。『百点』は岩下尚史の連載も面白い。これは必ずや連載終了後にまとめられるべきもの。
