EZ News 10/15/26
Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 243-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 48,382 on turnover of 14.2-billion N-T. The market closed higher on Wednesday, despite giving up some of its early gains as investors took profits (獲利了結) on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing ahead of the chipmaker's investor conference - which is scheduled for later today. CPC to invest up to US$4.4 billion in Alaska LNG project The Ministry of Economic Affairs has confirmed that CPC will invest (投資) up to 4.4-billion US dollars in an Alaska liquefied natural gas project and buy 6-million metric tons of LNG a year once production begins. According to the ministry, if the project proceeds on schedule, it could begin supplying LNG to Taiwan as early as 2032. The ministry says partnership with the project's U-S developer is expected to diversify (使多元化；分散來源) Taiwan's LNG supplies. The statements come after U-S President Donald Trump told reporters during that Taiwan has agreed to buy 30-per cent of the gas from the proposed liquefied natural gas project for the next 20 years. WBC outfielder Stuart Fairchild to visit Taiwan in November And, Taiwanese-American outfielder Stuart Fairchild will visit Taiwan in November. According to his agency, the trip will give Fairchild an opportunity to experience the enthusiasm (熱情) of Taiwan fans in person. The agency has not released any information concerning when he'll visit Taiwan or what events his itinerary (行程) will include. However, the National Development Council has said Fairchild is also scheduled to receive a Taiwan Employment Gold Card at a public ceremony in November. Fairchild hit two home runs for Taiwan at this year's World Baseball Classic after qualifying through his Taiwanese mother. RUSSIAN ATTACKS ON LUTSK KILL SIX AS KREMLIN INTENSIFIES BOMBARDMENT OF UKRAINIAN CIVILIAN SITES Ukraine's emergency services say six people have been killed and twelve injured in Russian attacks on civilian (平民的；民用的) sites in the western Ukrainian city of Lutsk on Wednesday. The deaths come a day after Russian ballistic missiles struck all three of Kyiv's power plants overnight, killing five and leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity — an attack President Volodymyr Zelensky says came with no advance warning (事先警告) from Western allies. US President Donald Trump says Washington is still sharing intelligence with Kyiv, but Ukrainian officials say they were left exposed. Peter Dickinson in Kyiv says captured Russian documents suggest Moscow's aim is to destroy civilian infrastructure and break the country's will to resist through the coming winter months. France Netherlands Food Loss After Cyberattack on Refrigeration Systems Supermarkets in France and the Netherlands are dealing with the aftermath (事件造成的後果) of a cyberattack that disrupted refrigeration systems. The attack, which began overnight from Sunday to Monday, caused temperatures to soar (急升), leading to significant food losses. France's Cybersecurity Agency warned that the attacks might still be ongoing and advised stores to secure their systems. In the Netherlands, a major chain had to restart systems after a cybersecurity incident halted deliveries. Investigations are underway, but no perpetrators have been identified. Experts say the attack highlights vulnerabilities in older refrigeration systems and the need for better cybersecurity measures. That was the I.C.R.T.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 41-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 48,382 on turnover of 9.5-billion N-T. The market tumbled (大幅下跌) over 900 points on Tuesday, following an overnight sell-off in U-S tech stocks on Wall Street. MOFA confirms one Taiwanese injured in attack on Riyadh airport The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that one Taiwan national was injured in one of the attacks targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh last week. The ministry has not disclosed (透露；公開) their identity, citing privacy concerns. However, it has said the individual remains hospitalized in Saudi Arabia and Taiwan's representative office there has sent officials to visit them. The government has raised its travel alert (旅遊警示) for Saudi Arabian border regions with Yemen to "red," or highest level. While the travel alert for the rest of Saudi Arabia to the "orange," or second-highest level and is advising Taiwan nationals to avoid unnecessary travel to the country. Sanying Line disruption prompts shuttle buses Shuttle buses have replaced train services on part of New Taipei's Sanying MRT Line this morning following a power problem. New Taipei Metro says the problem occurred at Yingge Station at around 5:30 a.m., preventing (阻止；使無法) trains from running. Trains were still operating normally between Dingpu and Taipei University. Shuttle buses (接駁公車) were serving the section between Taipei University and Yingtao Fude. Taiwan International Travel Fair to open in early November The Taiwan International Travel Fair will be taking place in Taipei in early November. The annual (每年一度的) exhibition was previously called the Taipei International Travel Fair, but organizers chose to add the word "Taiwan" to its title as it enters its 40th year. According to the Taiwan Visitors Association, the travel fair will feature 1,600 booths (攤位) representing 123 countries and cities. Tourism authorities from South Korea, the United States, Thailand, Malaysia, France and the Czech Republic will also be taking part. The 2026 Taiwan International Travel Fair is taking place at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center from November 6 though 9. HOUTHIS WARN CIVILIANS TO EVACUATE RIYADH AIRPORT AND ARAMCO SITES AHEAD OF THREATENED RETALIATORY STRIKES Yemen's Houthi movement has issued evacuation warnings for Riyadh's airport and two Saudi Aramco facilities, signalling imminent (即將發生的；迫在眉睫的) retaliatory strikes after a coalition attack on a Yemeni oil facility near Sanaa. The warnings come a day after a Houthi ballistic missile struck Aramco's headquarters complex in Dhahran, and as US President Donald Trump confirmed he had spoken with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman but declined to reveal what was discussed. The president faces mounting pressure (日益增加的壓力) to act, with the Saudis having twice previously asked Washington for direct military help against the Houthis and been turned down both times. Kate Fisher reports from Washington. Israel returns Greek artifacts Israel has returned 22 ancient Greek artifacts (文物) that were illegally removed from Greece, marking the first such repatriation (遣返；文物歸還原屬國) between the two countries. Greece's culture minister received the antiquities at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens from the Israel Antiquities Authority. The collection includes a bronze statuette of a woman and pottery decorated with mythological scenes and geometric motifs, dating from approximately 700 B.C. to 320 B.C. The handover comes as Greece intensifies its international campaign to reclaim the Parthenon Marbles. The 2,500-year-old sculptures were removed from the Acropolis and are now displayed at the British Museum in London. That was the I.C.R.T.

EZ News 10/13/26
Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 175-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 49,126 on turnover of 13-billion N-T. The market closed slightly lower on Monday after recovering most of its early losses, as buying related to co-packaged optics and shipping offset selling in major semiconductor stocks. 12 mayoral candidates sign sustainability pledges ahead of elections Twelve candidates in the upcoming local government elections have signed pledges to promote sustainable and resilient policies if elected. The names of the 12 candidates who have signed the pledges were announced at a press conference held by civic groups. Those civic groups include the Green Citizens' Action Alliance and the Taiwan Climate Action Network. The groups invited candidates running for mayor in Taiwan's six special municipalities to sign the pledge (保證). It focused on 18 policies in the areas of renewable energy, disaster preparedness and resilience, heat adaptation, flood management, and sustainable transportation. Taipei Zoo red panda Chi-Chi adjusting well in Singapore A male red panda transferred from Taipei Zoo to the Singapore Zoo has now begun exploring his new home and is adjusting well to the move. According to the Mandai Wildlife Group, which operates (經營) the Singapore Zoo, when Chi-Chi first arrived, he seemed unsure of his new surroundings and wandered around, but he gradually settled in. The zoo operater says red panda is now lively around visitors and in good physical condition - and roams (閒逛) his enclosure in the morning and around noon before spending time with his keepers in the afternoon. Ten year old Chi-Chi was transferred to the Singapore Zoo in June as part of a partnership to help maintain the red panda captive population. OIL PRICES RISE TWO PER CENT AS SAUDI ATTACKS OVERSHADOW TRUMP'S RUSSIAN DIESEL DEAL AND DISPUTED ENERGY CEASEFIRE Oil prices have jumped two per cent on Monday, with Brent crude hitting its highest level in nearly two weeks, as attacks on Saudi Arabia and accusations of violations to US President Donald Trump's proposed energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine have pushed markets higher. Trump announced on Sunday that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to halt strikes on energy infrastructure — but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia launched a strike on a power plant in Kharkiv shortly after the announcement, and that drone attacks have continued over Ukrainian cities. The Kremlin has declined to confirm the terms of any deal, saying only that contacts are ongoing. Nick Harper, our reporter in Washington, says the Russian diesel deal is facing bipartisan opposition from lawmakers who say it breaches (違反) a 2022 law banning Russian energy exports. Canada PM Makes Case Ahead** of Alberta Separation Referendum** Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is making the case for Alberta to remain in Canada, warning one week before the province’s referendum that separation would begin a “long and uncertain process” at a dangerous time for the country. The Oct. 19 vote asks Albertans whether the province should remain in Canada or begin the process of holding a referendum on separation. Carney pointed to a proposed West Coast pipeline from oil-rich Alberta, as well as new housing and a high-speed rail, arguing that Canada is building major projects again and that division would make that harder. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith called the vote, but supports remaining in Canada. A vote for separation in a future referendum would not automatically make Alberta independent, as provinces cannot secede (脫離（國家或政府)) unilaterally and negotiations with the federal government would have to follow.
