NIA Deports Chinese Couple Accused of Disrupting Hongkongers' Event
The National Immigration Agency says it has deported a Chinese couple accused
of disrupting a pro-democracy event in Taipei organized by Hong Kong
residents.
According to the agency, the couple were escorted (護送，押送) by immigration
officials to Taoyuan International Airport before boarding their flight to
China.
The immigration agency says it has also cancelled their entry permits for
violations of the Regulations Governing the Approval of Entry of People of
the Mainland Area into Taiwan Area.
Officials say the couple applied to visit a family member in Taiwan at the
end of September, but that person had returned to China in July.
The immigration agency says the couple was aware they were violating the
rules when applying for temporary entry permits based on visiting family
members living in Taiwan.
The couple were filmed harassing group of Hong Kongers earlier this week in
Taipei's Ximending before being taken away by police.

Brazil G20 Agree to Tropical Forest Initiative
Environment ministers of the Group of 20 nations agreed Thursday to support
the creation of funding sources for ecosystem services, acknowledging
Brazil’s proposal to establish a trust fund for forest conservation.
Named the Tropical Forests Forever Facility, the Brazilian initiative would
reward tropical forest countries for protecting the critical biomes.
The plan benefits all tropical forest nations based on the area preserved,
paying local and Indigenous communities involved for maintaining ecosystems.
The environment ministers of leading rich and developing countries assembled
(聚集) this week in Rio de Janeiro for four-day meetings to discuss climate
change and sustainability.
The topic is one of Brazil’s priorities as it hosts the G20 presidency until
the end of the year, with heads of state convening in Rio next month.
France Owl Treasure Hunt Over
And…
A 31-year-long treasure hunt that drew in thousands of enthusiasts across
France appears to have come to an end after official social media accounts
linked to the search said the token needed to claim the grand prize had been
found.
The hunt, “On the Trail of the Golden Owl,” was based on a book of riddles
published in 1993.
Participants had to solve 11 puzzles in the book — and a 12th one that was
hidden — to decipher the exact location of the token
(代幣，有象徵意義的物品), which would then be exchanged for the real prize,
an owl made of silver and gold and studded with diamond chips.
It has an estimated worth of about 165-thousand US dollars.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
