Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened marginally lower this morning from yesterday's close, at
22,665 on turnover of 4.3-billion N-T.
The market fell sharply on Tuesday following U-S President-elect Donald
Trump's threat to impose (施) steep tariffs on goods made in Canada, Mexico
and China - and the downturn was led by the bellwether electronics sector.
Ticker-Tape Parade for Premier 12 Winning Team
Taiwan's Premier 12 Championship title winning baseball team has been
welcomed home with a ticker-tape parade in Taipei.
The parade saw players and coaches driven in a convoy of vehicles from the
intersection of Ketagalan Boulevard and Gongyuan Road - before passing
through Xiangyang Road and the Canyon of Heroes" along Guanqian Road ..
…. where confetti (五彩碎紙) were released to pay tribute to the team.
The convoy then turned left onto Zhongxiao West Road before turning onto
Chongqing South Road and ending at the Presidential Office.
The jeeps and trucks in the convoy were driven by uniformed military
personnel and included both civilian and military vehicles.
It was escorted along the route by police officers on electric scooters.
The parade attracted tens of thousands of flag waving and screaming fans who
came out to get a glimpse of the tournament winning players and coaches.
Core Pacific City Corruption Case Suspect Remains Detained
The Taipei District Court has extended a detention order for a key suspect in
the Core Pacific City corruption case.
The court approved the extension after the Taipei District Prosecutors Office
said there was concern that Lee Wen-tsung could destroy evidence or collude
(串通) with others if released from detention.
Lee previously ran Ko Wen-je's office during his second term as Taipei mayor.
Prosecutors have said they believe Lee was involved in the allegedly corrupt
real-estate dealings.
Lee was first ordered detained in late September.
Biden Confirms IsraelHezbollah Ceasefire Deal
US President Joe Biden has confirmed a ceasefire agreement has been reached
between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
Thousands of people have been killed - and more than a million displaced
(流離失所) - in the latest round of the conflict, which began following the
October 7th attacks by Hamas in Israel.
Ira Spitzer reports.
Colombia to Impose Visa Requirement on UK Citizens
Colombia's President Gustavo Petro says that his country will impose visa
requirements on British citizens.
The announcement Tuesday comes after the United Kingdom removed Colombia from
a list of countries whose nationals can visit Britain without tourist visas.
The British embassy in Colombia said that over the past two years, there has
been a “significant” increase in the number of Colombians who arrive at UK
airports and make “unjustified” asylum claims.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
