Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 93-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 19,398
on turnover of 7.9-billion N-T.
The market closed at yet another new all-time high on Monday, led by Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing after its American depositary receipts soared on
Wall Street at the end of last week.
Audio of Kinmen Boat Collision Turned over to Prosecutors
The Coast Guard Administration says it has handed over audio recordings of
the February 14 fatal capsizing of a Chinese speedboat in waters near Kinmen
to prosecutors.
Confirmation that recordings have been give to the Kinmen District
Prosecutors' Office were made by Coast Guard Director-General Zhou Mei-wu
during a Legislative hearing.
According to Zhou, along with handing over audio records, his office has also
provided prosecutors with radar information showing the vessels' exact
(精確的) movements.
Zhou also denied reports the Coast Guard patrol boat had "rammed and
overturned the Chinese vessel.
Michigan Governor Arrives in Taiwan to Open State Office
The governor of the U-S state of Michigan has formally opened office to
facilitate exchanges between the state and Taiwan in areas such as commerce,
culture and education.
According Gretchen Whitmer, the opening of the Michigan Taiwan Office "is an
extension of a partnership that has been built over the years between Taiwan
and United States."
Whitmer says Taiwan's world leading expertise in the fields of semiconductors
and clean energy make it a perfect match for cooperation with the Michigan
State government, which is currently pursuing (追求) clean energy by
transitioning to electric vehicles.
France becomes fist country to enshrine abortion in Constitution
French parliamentarians have voted to enshrine the right to access abortion
services into the constitution.
Lawmakers and senators overwhelmingly (壓倒性地) approved the changes in a
rare joint session of parliament at the Chateau of Versailles.
Ross Cullen reports.
Greece Rescues 100 Migrants in Distressed Vessel
Greek authorities say they have rescued 100 migrants found on a smuggling
vessel in distress off the country’s southern mainland.
The coast guard says the migrants were taken off their vessel by a tugboat
that had been ordered to the area and safely carried them to a southeastern
village on Monday.
No injuries have been reported.
The area where the incident occurred is on a route used by smugglers to send
migrants in overcrowded sailing yachts from Turkey to Italy, skirting
southern Greece and avoiding the heavily patrolled (巡邏的) waters off the
eastern Aegean Sea islands.
EU Fines Apple Over Subscription
The European Union has fined Apple nearly $2 billion by forbidding rivals
like Spotify from telling users how they could pay for cheaper subscriptions
outside of iPhone apps.
Monday's move is the 27-nation bloc’s first antitrust penalty against the
U.S. tech giant.
The EU's executive commission says Apple muzzled streaming services from
telling people about payment options available through their websites.
That would avoid the 30% fee charged when people pay through apps downloaded
with the iOS App Store.
A complaint from Spotify triggered the investigation amid a years-long feud
with Apple over music streaming supremacy.
Apple says the EU didn't “uncover any credible evidence of consumer harm”
and vowed to appeal (上訴).
That was the I.C.R.T. news,
Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded
every day in the afternoon.
Enjoy the rest of your day, I'm _____.
