Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 61-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,337
on turnover of 10-billion N-T.
The market surged more than 480-points on Wednesday as Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing closed at a new high and investors were encouraged by comments
by the head of the U-S Federal Reserve regarding more rate-cuts.
NSB head confirmed Numerous videos on KMT leadership race posted outside
Taiwan
National Security Bureau Director-General Tsai Ming-yen says his agency has
found hundreds of video clips focusing on the K-M-T's leadership election
posted from online accounts outside of Taiwan.
According to Tsai, most of the 1,000-plus videos identified are circulating
(散佈、傳遞) on the Chinese version of TikTok, and over 200 related videos
are on YouTube, which were posted from 23 accounts, half of which were not in
Taiwan.
Tsai declined to say whether any of those accounts were based in China and
also refused to says which candidates the videos were stumping for.
The statements come after some of the candidates running the K-M-T leadership
election this Saturday have been rather vocal in their claims that China is
meddling in the race.
Women's group calls for tighter surveillance after rape case at Taipei
Station
The Taipei Women's Rescue Foundation is calling on the city government to
improve its safety surveillance systems and encouraging bystander (旁觀者)
intervention (介入) following the sexual assault of a woman at the Taipei
Main Station last week.
The foundation says the city government needs to review and improve its
public safety systems, assistance alarm bells could be installed and
bystanders should be encouraged to intervene if they witness incidents of
sexual assault.
The suspect was arrested at the scene.
And the Railway Police Bureau says the number of patrols in the station have
been increased and officers are now checking toilets and stairwells every two
hours to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
The US Supreme Court is hearing a case that could upend the midterms
The US supreme court will hear arguments in a case that could gut the Voting
Rights Act, the landmark civil rights law designed to prevent discrimination
(歧視) in voting.
The outcome of the case could change the course of next year's midterm
elections.
Charlotte North reports from Washington
UN Warns Colombia of Mercury Contamination
A United Nations letter to Colombia warns that mercury contamination from
illegal gold mining in the Atrato River basin is causing a grave
(嚴重的，重大的) human rights crisis for Indigenous and Afro-descendant
communities.
In a letter made public earlier this week, the U.N. Human Rights Council
raised concerns with the Colombian government about insufficient (不足的)
compliance with a 2016 Constitutional Court ruling that recognized the Atrato
River as a legal entity with rights to protection and restoration.
The river is one of Colombia’s largest waterways, and is one of the
country’s most biodiverse yet impoverished (貧窮)regions.
Illegal gold mining is now among the main drivers of deforestation and
pollution across Amazon regions, and mercury used to extract gold has
devastated wildlife and contaminated the food sources of Indigenous
communities in remote areas of the Amazon.
The UN letter calls for urgent measures to halt pollution, tackle criminal
networks and provide medical care to residents exposed to toxic mercury.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
