Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 210-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
22,171 on turnover of $6.7-billion N-T.
The market took a beating on Wednesday as the bellwether electronics sector
was in investor focus after tech stocks saw heavy losses on Wall Street
overnight ahead of the conclusion of the U-S Federal Reserve's two-day
policymaking meeting.
Market watchers say foreign institutional investors stayed on the sell side
during the session and the local main board could see further
unpredictability (不可預測性) as volatility on U-S markets is continuing to
dictate large-cap electronics stocks here in Taiwan.
Taipei animal protection office seeks new owner for bitey pit bull
Authorities in Taipei are seeking a new owner for a pit bull named "Lucky,"
who was confiscated from it owner after biting people on two separate
occasions this month.
The Taipei City Animal Protection Office says "Lucky" is currently being kept
alone to minimize (使降到最低) stress and is looking for owners who have
experience with pit bulls.
"Lucky" mauled people on two separate occasions, prompting the Taipei City
government to fine the owner 200,000 N-T for violating the Animal Protection
Act by allowing an aggressive animal out in public place without proper
supervision and precautions.
The authorities confiscated the dog on Tuesday.
The Taipei City government's Department of Economic Development says the
original owner is no longer allowed to look after Lucky due to his lack of
control over the animal.
Russia Ukraine Prisoner Swap
Russia and Ukraine say they have each swapped 175 prisoners in one of the
largest exchanges of the war began.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday the exchange included
severely (嚴重地) wounded fighters whom Russia had prosecuted on fabricated
(編造的) charges.
He says all those who returned will receive immediate medical and
psychological assistance.
Russia's Defense Ministry said it had released an additional 22 severely
wounded Ukraine captives as a goodwill gesture.
Originally, Russian President Vladimir Putin had promised to release 23
prisoners when he spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump about a potential
partial ceasefire.
There was no immediate comment on the reason the number changed.
Reknowned Pianist to Boycott US Over Trump Presidency
The concert pianist Andras Schiff has become the latest performer to announce
that he will boycott the United States over Donald Trump's presidency.
Mr. Schiff is widely considered (被視為) one of the world's leading
performers of music by Bach and Mozart, and has announced he is cancelling
plans to tour the country later this year.
From Washington, Simon Marks reports.
Pope Condition Continues to Improve
Pope Francis’s condition has continued to improve and he no longer needs to
use noninvasive mechanical ventilation to help him breathe at night.
The Vatican said 88-year-old pontiff is also reducing his reliance on
high-flow supplemental oxygen during the day.
The Holy See press office says his double pneumonia infection, while not
completely eliminated, is under control.
Francis celebrated Mass on Wednesday, on the anniversary of his installation
as pope 12 years ago.
