The Tai-Ex opened up 242-points this morning from yesterday's close, at

40,263 on turnover of 14.-billion N-T.

The market lost ground for a fifth consecutive session on Wednesday, after

Wall Street stumbled overnight and gave back more of its record-setting rally

as invertors shunned tech stocks.

The Centers for Disease Control has raised the level of its Ebola travel

advisory for Congo and Uganda and is urging hospitals and doctors clinics to

ask patients about their travel and exposure history.

The C-D-C has raised its travel advisory for Congo and Uganda from "watch" to

the second-level "alert."

That advisory level urges travelers to "take enhanced precautionary (預防性的)

measures" in regions experiencing Ebola outbreaks.

However, the C-D-C is stressing that it considers the Ebola outbreak's threat

to Taiwan relatively low.

Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen says inspections of retail spaces will extend to

17 big-box and department stores starting from tomorrow.

The statement comes after a camera invading customers' privacy (隱私) was found

in a fitting room at a local store.

According to Lu, citywide inspections for illegal hidden cameras had

previously focused on cosmetic surgery clinics, sports facilities with

changing rooms, and saunas ..

.. but they will now be expanded to department stores and other big-box

stores with fitting rooms, as they could be "hot spots" for covert filming.

The move is in response to the discovery of a surveillance camera pointing

toward a mirror inside a fitting room at the Under Armour store in Mitsui

Shopping Park LaLaport in Taichung.

The US Justice Department has field criminal charges against Raúl Castro, the

94-year-old former president of Cuba.

He’s been charged with murder and a conspiracy (陰謀) to kill U.S. citizens

stemming from the fatal downing of two planes 30 years ago.

Kate Fisher reports from Washington

The U.N. General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to support strong action

to prevent climate change.

The 193-member world body approved a nonbinding resolution Wednesday

endorsing the landmark advisory opinion by the U.N.’s top court last July

that called failure by countries to protect the planet from climate change a

violation of international law.

The measure was opposed by the U.S., Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia — some of

the highest oil-producing nations and major emitters (發出者) of greenhouse

gas.

The text includes adopting a national climate action plan to limit global

temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees Celsius, phasing out subsidies for

fossil fuel exploration, production and exploitation (開發利用, 不公平地使用); and

urging those in violation to provide “full reparation” for damage.

The U.N. resolution had initially included stronger language from the

International Court of Justice opinion that called for establishing an

“International Register of Damage” to record evidence and claims, but it was

removed after nearly a dozen consultations in order to receive more support.

That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
