Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 115-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 18,990 on turnover of 3-billion N-T. The market fell by almost 300 points on Monday due to lake of investor interest in semiconductor heavyweights as U-S tariff polices continue to impact market sentiment. Large-cap semiconductor stocks led the broader market lower once again sending the electronics index down by 1.6-per cent by the close of the day's trading. Premier approves NT$88 billion U.S. tariff support package Premier Cho Jung-tai has approved the Cabinet's 88-billion N-T support package aimed at mitigating (減輕) the impact of higher U-S tariffs on Taiwan's economy. However, details on what the plan contains remain relatively vague. Cabinet Secretary-General Kung Ming-hsin says the plan will offer Taiwan companies various forms of financial support and will serve as a sort of "umbrella on a rainy day." Departments responsible for administering the 20 measures contained in the package are slated to explain them in more detail in the coming days. Foreign minister to attend Eswatini king's birthday celebration Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung will lead a delegation to Eswatini King Mswati III's 57th birthday celebration as President Lai Ching-te's special envoy. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Lin will be heading a delegation of government officials and a group of business representatives to Eswatini from today through Saturday. The delegation will attend festivities (慶祝活動) and the main celebration, which is scheduled on Friday. Lin will present a letter from Lai and cows as gifts to Eswatini's king and Queen According to the ministry, the foreign minister will also hold meetings with Eswatini's Prime Minister Russell Dlamini and the kingdom's foreign minister on bilateral ties and projects. Pope Francis World leaders are paying tribute to Pope Francis, who passed away at the age of 88, as the Vatican declares (宣稱) nine days of mourning. AP correspondent Trisha Thomas reports. UN Sounds Warning on Haiti Gang Violence The top U.N. official in Haiti is sounding an alarm to the U.N. Security Council that escalating (不斷升級) gang violence is liable (很可能會發生的) to lead the Caribbean nation to “a point of no return.” Maria Isabel Salvador is warning that “Haiti could face total chaos” without increased funding and support for the operation of the Kenya-led multinational force helping Haiti’s police to tackle the gangs’ expanding violence. She spoke to the Security Council on Monday. The gangs have grown in power since the 2021 assassination of the president and are now estimated to control 85% of the capital and are moving into surrounding areas. That was the I.C.R.T.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 79-points this morning from Friday's close, at 19,321 on turnover of 1.6-billion N-T. The market ended slightly higher on Friday, despite a rather bumpy ride for Wall Street last Thursday as Nvidia helped pull down the tech-heavy Nasdaq. Measures to curb stock market short selling to continue Meanwhile, The Financial Supervisory Commission says measures to curb (抑制) short selling on the Tai-Ex will continue this week amid ongoing uncertainties about U-S tariff policies. The measures were first put in place during the week of April 7 after U-S President Donald Trump unveiled "reciprocal" tariffs on Taiwan of 32-per cent and were then extended into last week. Unlike its previous two announcements, the F-S-C this time has not specified the duration (持續時間) of the extension of measures to curb short selling. The local main board last week ended 0.68-per cent lower after falling 8.31-per cent the week before. Cannabis decriminalization campaigners rally for end to 'war on weed' The Taiwan Weed Safety Education Association has held a rally outside the Legislative Yuan calling on the government to end its "war" on marijuana. The event was titled "2025 Green Sensation" and the group and its supporters used the rally to call on lawmakers and President Lai Ching-te to "eliminate the stigma (（尤指不公正的）惡名) against marijuana and discriminatory policies against the marijuana community." Participants also urged the government to relax allowable levels of T-H-C, align cannabis policy with international norms, and remove cannabis from government-led anti-drug campaigns. The Ministry of Justice has responded to the rally by reiterating that it remains illegal to possess or use cannabis and warned that such offenses are prosecuted as serious crimes. Israeli probe into the killings of 15 Palestinian medics in Gaza finds 'professional failures' The Israeli military has wrapped up its investigation into the killings of 15 Palestinian medics in the Gaza Strip last month . AP correspondent Joe Federman reports Yemen US Airstrikes Leave Dead and Wounded Houthi rebels say U.S. airstrikes targeting Yemen’s capital killed 12 people and wounded 30 others. The deaths mark the latest in America’s intensified campaign of strikes targeting (攻擊) the rebels. The Houthis described the strike as hitting the Farwa neighborhood market in Sanaa’s Shuub district. That area has been targeted before by the Americans. The U.S. military’s Central Command did not immediately acknowledge the strikes. Strikes overnight into today also hit other areas of the country. Zurich Zoo Asian Elephant Born The Zurich Zoo says a 19-year-old Asian elephant has given birth to a male calf. Its name starting with the letter Z will be announced later this week. A light-sensitive monitoring camera picked up the birth and the calf's earliest wobbly (搖搖晃晃的) steps before dawn on Saturday at the zoo’s elephant park. The Asian elephant is a critically endangered species with about 50,000 estimated in the wild, and their numbers are declining. That was the I.C.R.T.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 85-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 19,424 on turnover of $2.4-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan extended their losses Thursday from a session earlier, falling more than 120 points, as market sentiment remained cautious ahead of an investor conference scheduled by contract chipmaker TSMC to start after the market closes. Stocks outside the tech sector also largely moved in the doldrums (低迷) amid uncertainties caused by tariff threats by Washington. Lai calls for more trade cooperation with NZ amid global challenges President Lai Ching-te is urging New Zealand to expand trade and business opportunities with Taiwan. Speaking during a meeting with a visiting New Zealand parliamentary delegation, Lai said both sides can work together to "explore even more diverse markets" - such as smart agriculture, food manufacturing, biomedicine, the digital economy and clean energy. Lai also called for Taiwan and New Zealand should deepen cooperation and jointly advance their economies and industrial development in the face of global challenges. There have recently been calls for the government to seek market diversification (多樣化) for Taiwan products in the wake of levies imposed by the United States on Taiwanese goods earlier this month. Pro Go player Lin Chun-yen claims long-awaited HaiFong title Nine-dan Go player Lin Chun-yen has captured his first Hai-Fong Tournament title after 16 years on the professional-circuit. He beat 6-dan Hsu Ching-en in the final match of a best-of-three series held at Taipei's Hai-Fong Go Association. It marked Hsu's third consecutive runner-up finish at the annual tournament, which is one of eight major titles in Taiwan and the season opener for the domestic pro Go circuit. The victory was the 27-year-old's first major pro title in Taiwan in nearly three and a half years. Lin's next target is the Taiwan Mei-Jin title, where he faces 8-dan pro Chen Qi-rui in a best-of-three semifinal series. US Judge Rules Google Broke Antitrust Laws A federal judge has ruled that Google broke antitrust laws by maintaining an illegal monopoly in the digital advertising space. The decision could force major changes to one of the tech giant's biggest revenue streams. Ira Spitzer reports. Italy Cable Car Accident Leaves Four Dead Officials in southern Italy say that a cable car carrying tourists south of Naples has crashed after the cable snapped, killing at least four people and critically injuring one. Italy’s alpine rescue was responding to the accident on Monte Faito on Thursday. The cable car accident happened just a week after the destination (目的地) reopened for the season. The cable car at Castellammare di Stabia is popular for its views of the Mount Vesuvius volcano and the Bay of Naples. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni expressed her condolences for the victims and their families and said she was in touch with rescuers. She was in Washington, where she met with U.S. President Donald Trump. Researchers Find Possible Chemical Signs of Life on Faraway Planet Astronomers have detected possible chemical signs of life on a faraway planet. But they caution much more work is needed to confirm their findings. The research, led by scientists at the University of Cambridge, found evidence of compounds (化合物) that on Earth are only produced by living organisms on the planet known as K2-18b. The planet is 124 light-years away. One light year is equivalent to about 9.5-trillion kilometers. Scientists not involved in the research describe the findings as interesting, but not nearly enough to show the existence (存在) of life on another planet That was the I.C.R.T.
