Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 105-points this morning from Friday's close, at 23,258
on turnover of 7.7-billion N-T.
The market tumbled nearly 250-points on Friday - bucking a regional upswing
as investors were spooked by concerns about U-S President Donald Trump's
latest tariff threat to hit exports from countries he says have trade
policies that are unfair to America.
MOFA thanks US for updating fact sheet
Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung is expressing his gratitude to the U-S State
Department for reaffirming support toward Taiwan with what he's calling
additions "of positive, Taiwan-friendly wordings."
It comes after a fact sheet's contents were updated to remove a line
indicating Washington's long-held stance of not supporting Taiwanese
independence.
It previously stated that the U-S opposes "any unilateral changes to the
status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we
expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved (秆∕) by peaceful means."
However, in the updated version published the line stating that the U-S does
not support Taiwan's independence had been removed.
Audrey Tang extols Taiwan after Munich Cyber Security Conference
And,
Ambassador-at-large for cyber affairs, Audrey Tang says freedom and security
are not mutually exclusive and has been talking-up Taiwan's approach to
digital challenges.
Speaking in Germany on the sidelines of the Munich Cyber Security Conference,
Tang said "freedom and security are not a trade-off, but instead are a
deepening of democracy ..
… and "the stronger the social consensus, the greater the resilience and
security, and the better able to withstand threats."
Tang also addressed the conference, and in a 10-miunte speech she touted
Taiwan using measures such as real-name registration for online
advertisements, fighting online fraud and using artificial intelligence to
enhance (矗蔼) democracy.
Ukraine Refuses US Proposal for Minterals Access
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he directed his ministers not to
sign off on a proposed agreement to give the United States access to
Ukraineˇs rare earth minerals because the document was too focused on U.S.
interests.
The proposal, which was a key part of Zelenskyyˇs talks with U.S. Vice
President JD Vance on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on
Friday, did not offer any specific security guarantees in return.
That's according to one current and one former senior official familiar with
the talks.
US President Trump earlier this week jettisoned three years of U.S. policy
and announced he would likely meet soon with Russian President Vladimir Putin
to negotiate a deal to end almost three years of fighting.
Pope Recovering After Respiratory Infection
The Vatican says Pope Francis is stable, as he recovers (確) from a
respiratory infection in the hospital.
AP correspondent Julie Walker reports the Pope
British Academy Film Awards
Papal thriller ¨Conclave〃 won four prizes including best picture at the
British Academy Film Awards, at a ceremony with no single dominant winner.
¨The Brutalist〃 also won four trophies on Sunday including best director
for Brady Corbet.
¨The Brutalist〃 star Adrien Brody took the prize for best actor, and Mikey
Madison won the best actress prize for ¨Anora.〃
Genre-bending musical ¨Emilia Perez〃 proved that itˇs still an awards
contender despite a multipronged backlash that looked to have dented (ゴ阑)
its chances.
It won the prize for best film not in the English language and the best
supporting actress prize for Zoe Saldana.
Kieran Culkin was named best supporting actor for ¨A Real Pain.〃
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
