Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened down 27-points this morning from Friday's close, at 22,548
on turnover of 5.5-billion N-T.
The market closed lower on Friday, as selling was sparked by losses on Wall
Street overnight following the launch of a trade war by the Trump
administration.
Overall losses were capped by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, but market
watchers are warning that the local stock market will continue to struggle as
long as the impact of tariffs remains.
National Human Rights Commission members attend Tibet uprising event
Members of the National Human Rights Commission have attended an annual march
in Taipei organized by civic groups to commemorate the 1959 Tibetan uprising.
Speaking at the event, commission vice chair Wang Yu-ling said it's the first
time members of the agency have attended the annual event since its founding
in August 2020.
According to Wang, what the Chinese government has done in Tibet since the
1950s could be considered (把…當作) an act of "ethnic cleansing and
genocide," "human rights have no borders" and "today's Tibet could be the
future of Taiwan."
The march was attended by some 100 participants.

Argentina Flooding Leaves 15 Dead
Officials in Argentina say heavy rains that flooded a city on the country's
east coast have killed at least 15 people.
Rescue teams on Sunday searched for dozens reported missing, after the
floodwaters resulting from rains that began pelting (急降，猛落) the city of
Bahia Blanca on Friday.
Crews have evacuated more than 1,450 people from the city located south of
the capital of Buenos Aires.
Those evacuated include patients from a local hospital.
Some 300 millimeters of rain have fallen in Bahia Blanca in recent days, when
the historical monthly average is about 129 millimeters.
No rain was forecast for the next 72 hours.
Nepal Protests Supporting Former King
Thousands of supporters have greeted Nepal’s former king in capital
Kathmandu and demanded his abolished monarchy be reinstated and Hinduism
brought back as a state religion.
An estimated 10,000 supporters of Gyanendra Shah blocked the main entrance to
Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport on Sunday as he arrived from a
tour of western Nepal.
Hundreds of riot police blocked the protesters from entering the airport and
there was no violence (暴力行為).
Massive street protests in 2006 forced Gyanendra to give up his authoritarian
rule but many Nepalis have since grown frustrated with the republic and a
struggling economy.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
