The Tai-Ex opened up 123-points this morning from yesterday's close, at

21,126 on turnover of 5-billion N-T.

The market moved sharply lower on Monday - losing more than 340 points - amid

ongoing investor concerns over the United States' tariff policies after

President Donald Trump accused China of violating a preliminary trade deal

with Washington.

The Sports Administration has issued a formal warning to the Chinese Taipei

Table Tennis Association and announced the suspension of subsidies unrelated

to training and competitions.

The move comes after the association revoked (撤銷) Yeh Yi-tian's place at

the World Table Tennis U-S Smash tournament scheduled for July.

Deputy Education Minister Chang Liao Wan-jien says the incident harmed Yeh's

right to participate in competitions, and the association failed to actively

respond to public concerns.

While Cabinet spokeswoman Michelle Lee says Premier Cho Jung-tai is calling

on national sports associations to listen to athletes and their coaches in

regards the scheduling of events.

EVA Airways has signed a cooperation agreement with the International Air

Transport Association to join its Turbulence Aware platform - which seeks to

improve flight safety through real-time data sharing.

Airline President Clay Sun says the carrier believes that joining the program

will help pilots and dispatchers better analyze real-time data, plan and

choose appropriate flight paths to avoid areas with higher turbulence (亂流)

risks, and ensure passenger safety.

The agreement was signed by Sun and International Air Transport Association

Director General Willie Walsh during the association's

three-day annual general meeting in New Delhi this past weekend.

The International Air Transport Association says participating airlines

generated a total of 51.8-million turbulence reports in 2024, a 35-per cent

increase from 2023, which is highly beneficial in reducing the damage caused

by turbulence.

The U.N. General Assembly has overwhelmingly elected Germany’s former

foreign minister Annalena Baerbock to be the next head of the 193-member

world body.

The vote was held Monday by a secret-ballot demanded by Russia.

Russia objected to Baerbock, accusing her of having pursued (從事，實行) an

“anti-Russia policy,”

Baerbock will replace the current assembly president at the start of the 80th

session in September.

A massive cloud of dust from the Sahara Desert is blanketing most of the

Caribbean in the biggest event of its kind this year as it heads toward the

United States.

Experts say the cloud extends some 3,200 kilometers from Jamaica to well past

Barbados in the eastern Caribbean, and some 1,200 kilometers from the Turks

and Caicos Islands in the northern Caribbean down south to Trinidad and

Tobago.

The hazy (霧濛濛的) skies unleashed sneezes, coughs and watery eyes across

the Caribbean.

Forecasters say the plume is expected to hit Florida, Louisiana, Alabama and

Mississippi late this week and into the weekend.
