Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 45-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,947
on turnover of 4.6-billion N-T.
The market gained more 240-points on Friday, despite Wall Street pulling back
from its recent record highs on Thursday on the back of disappointing reports
on inflation and unemployment in America.
MND Responds to China's "Joint Sword-2024B" Drills Surrounding Taiwan
The Ministry of National Defense is condemning China's holding of drills in
the Taiwan Strait and around Taiwan proper - describing Beijing's actions as
being "irrational and provocative behavior."
According to the ministry, troops have been deployed in order to protect and
defend the sovereignty of the Republic of China.
The statement comes after China's Eastern Theater Command earlier this
morning announced that its army, navy, air force and rocket forces are
conducting "Joint Sword-2024B" drills in the Taiwan Strait and the north,
south and east of Taiwan.
According to a spokesperson for the theater command, the drills focus on
joint sea-air combat readiness patrol, the blockade and control of key ports
and areas, strikes on sea and land targets, and the seizure of comprehensive
(全面的) battlefield control.
Mercury to Hit Highs of 31-33 degrees Before Weekend
The Central Weather Administration says we can expect to see the mercury
hitting highs of between 31 and-33 degrees - and mostly clear skies with some
localized (小範圍的) showers island-wide from today through Friday.
However, temperatures in the north and northeast will drop to highs of
between 27 and 28-degrees over the weekend and rain is also forecast in those
areas due to the arrival of northeasterly winds
However, residents of the center and south can expect to see cloudy to sunny
skies over the weekend.
US to Send Air Defense Kit to Israel
The United States will deploy a sophisticated high-altitude anti-missile
system to Israel to help bolster its air defences.
The Terminal High-Altitude Area Defence — or THAAD — battery is being sent
along with 100 American troops to help operate (操作) it.
It comes after Iran launched two direct missile attacks on Israel this year.
Benji Hyer reports.
Ukraine Urges Intl Orgs to Respond to POW Execution Claims
Ukraine’s human rights ombudsman has urged international organizations to
respond to a claim that several Ukrainian prisoners of war were executed in
Russia’s Kursk region where Kyiv had launched an incursion in August.
Dmytro Lubinets says he sent letters to the United Nations and the
International Committee of the Red Cross regarding the claim.
Ukrainian battlefield analysis site DeepState which is close to Ukraine’s
Defense Ministry said Sunday that Russian troops shot and killed nine
Ukrainian “drone operators and contractors” on Oct. 10th after they had
surrendered (投降).
Earlier this month, Ukraine’s Prosecutor-General’s Office said that Russian
troops had killed 16 captured Ukrainian soldiers in the partially occupied
Donetsk region.
There was no immediate response from Russian officials.
China to Assist Vietnam with Railway Development
China has agreed to assist Vietnam on cross-border railway development and
take steps to expand agricultural imports from its smaller neighbor.
Vietnam’s official media said that Chinese Premier Li Qiang pledged Sunday
that China would further open its market to high-quality fruits, seafood and
other Vietnamese products.
Li's visit to Hanoi came two week after Vietnam condemned China for what it
described as an assault by Chinese law enforcement personnel on Vietnamese
fishers in the South China Sea.
Vietnam's prime minister told Li that both sides should respect each other’s
legitimate (合法的，正當的) rights and interests and resolve disputes through
peaceful means.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
