Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.

Keelung City councilor receives suspended sentence for corruption
The Keelung District Court has handed Keelung City Councilor Chang Hao-han a
suspended sentence after finding his guilty of embezzling public funds.
The court found the D-P-P city councilor guilty of fraudulently claiming
782,000 N-T by falsifying the salary of his office assistant and registering
his mother as a phantom (虛假的) employee.
However, the court cited Chang's admission of guilt and return of the illicit
gains - handing him prison sentence of 24 months - suspended for five years.
He remains a Keelung city councilor
The court ruling can be appealed.
Cannes Critics' Week honors 'Left-Handed Girl'
Director Tsou Shih-ching's "Left-Handed Girl" has won the Gan Foundation
Award for Distribution at the Cannes Critics' Week.
The award is intended to support the French release of a first or second
feature film by a new director.
Speaking in Cannes after receiving the award, Tsou said the film drew on her
many memories from Taiwan, including tense relationships in a traditional
family and quiet everyday acts of resistance (反抗) that often went
unnoticed.
EU Leaders Urge Reinterpretation of Human Rights Convention
Leaders of 9 European Union countries say they want a reinterpretation of the
European Convention on Human Rights in order to better tackle (對付，處理)
irregular migration to the continent and effectively increase deportations.
The open letter signed by the leaders of Italy, Denmark, Lithuania Poland and
others was made public in Rome late Thursday.
It argues that some of the European Court of Human Rights interpretations
have limited national governments’ ability to expel a minority of migrants
who commit crimes.
The European Court of Human Rights handles complaints against the 46-member
states of the Council of Europe, under the European Convention on Human
Rights, including many cases involving migrants and asylum-seekers.
UK Chagos Handover to Mauritius
The UK will hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to the country of
Mauritius.
That's despite a last-minute injunction (禁令) to stop the plan, which was
overturned shortly later by England's High Court.
Stuart Smith reports.
Panama Venezuela Resume Commercial Flights
The Panamanian Civil Aviation Authority says that Panama and Venezuela will
resume commercial flights nearly a year after suspending them when they broke
off diplomatic relations.
Venezuela pulled its diplomatic representation from Panama last July after
Panama President Jose Raul Mulino refused to recognize (承認) Venezuela
President Nicolas Maduro’s reelection.
Earlier Thursday, Mulino said during his weekly news briefing that he had
received a letter from Venezuela, but that he hadn’t immediately read it.
Mulino did say, however, that it would be in Panama’s interest to resume
flights, though he said he also wanted Venezuela to agree to receive
Venezuelan migrants deported from Panama.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
