Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened down 40-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
22,757 on turnover of $3.9-billion N-T.
Shares in Taiwan staged a technical rebound, rising about 300 points Tuesday,
following a slump the previous session, as the bellwether electronics sector
led the gains ahead of an investor conference by contract chipmaker Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Co..
The momentum continued as TSMC saw buying accelerate, in particular in the
late trading session, helping the Taiex return to the 120-day moving average
of 22,565 points at the end of the session.
Taichung Police Destroy Drugs Worth Over NT$100 Million
Taichung police have incinerated illegal drugs and paraphernalia (用具) worth
over 100 million NT at the Houli Refuse Incineration Plant.
The haul included 140 kilograms of Category 3 and 4 substances like ketamine
and mephedrone, along with drug-use equipment.
Officers said the destruction follows strict inventory checks and
demonstrates their commitment to a zero-tolerance policy against narcotics.
Taiwan to Launch First Satellite for Air Pollution Monitoring
Taiwan plans to launch its first satellite to monitor (監測) air pollution
and greenhouse gases within three years.
The Ministry of Environment is working with the National Space Organization
on the project, which has a 61-billion NT budget.
The satellite will track cross-border pollution from China and Southeast
Asia, monitor fine particulate matter like PM2.5, and measure greenhouse
gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.
Equipped with advanced sensors, it will improve the accuracy of environmental
monitoring.
Officials say the project includes four satellites to provide multi-timeframe
data.
The first satellite is expected to launch by 2027.
This effort builds on recent experiments, such as a 3D air quality study in
southern Taiwan, and aims to strengthen pollution control strategies using
cutting-edge technology.
California Threat of New Wildfires Looms
Officials in California are concerned about the growing threat of new
wildfires, with strong winds expected to worsen conditions across the state.
The fires have already claimed at least 24 lives and displaced (流離失所的)
more than 100,000 people.

Congo Chinese Citizens Sentenced for Exploiting Mineral Resources
Three Chinese citizens have been sentenced to 7 years in prison and ordered
to pay $600,000 in fines for illegally exploiting mineral resources in Congo,
according to court filings.
The ruling marks the first time foreign mineral brokers have been convicted
for unauthorized mineral exploitation in the DRC without authorization from
Congolese authorities.
The defendants were also found guilty of fraud, money laundering and looting
(搶劫), after being arrested earlier this month with 10 gold bars and
$400-thosuand in cash.
It is unclear if they will remain in the eastern city of Bukavu, where they
are held, or if they will be transferred elsewhere.
Lawyers for the defendants say they intend to appeal, claiming the judgment
is unjustified.
UK Princess of Wales Reveals Cancer in Remission
Britain's Princess of Wales says that her cancer is in remission
((疾病的）緩解期) following a visit to the hospital where she received
treatment.
In a statement on social media, the princess offered her heartfelt thanks to
those who helped her and her husband Prince William.
Tuesday’s announcement marked the first official update on her condition
since September, when Kate said she had completed chemotherapy.
The princess still hasn’t revealed what type of cancer she was treated for.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
