Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 101-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
21,754 on turnover of $5.4-billion N-T.
The market soared more than 600 points on Thursday on the back of significant
gains by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and other large-cap tech stocks.
T-S-M-C saw its share price rise by 4.79-per cent, to close at 940 N-T.
And the spike in the company's share price came after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang
told a conference in San Francisco that Nvidia is struggling to keep up with
"incredible" levels of demand from its customers.
MOI to Hold Plane Crash and Earthquake Drills Next Wednesday
The Ministry of the Interior says it will be holding a series of drills next
Wednesday as part of a three-day national exercise to mark the annual
National Disaster Prevention Day.
According to the ministry, more than 1,300 people, including the public,
central and local government officials, and Japanese NGO staff, will
participate (參加) in the drills.
A plane crash drill will simulate a plane crash following a typhoon and will
take place in Penghu County, while the earthquake drill will simulate a
magnitude 7.3 earthquake striking Chiayi County's Zhuqi Township.
In addition to the drills, a text alert will be sent to people's mobile
phones at 9:21AM on September 20 by the Central Weather Administration, along
with an alarm sound.
Sirens will also sound across the island at 10AM, warning people in coastal
towns to be aware of a possible tsunami.
While all television channels will cut to the Public Television Service for a
two-minute broadcast of disaster prevention information from 10:59 to
11:01AM.
NKorea Releases Images of Purported Nuclear Production Facility
North Korea has offered a rare glimpse into a secretive (秘密的) facility to
produce nuclear materials as it says leader Kim Jong Un visited the area and
called for stronger efforts to increase his nuclear weapons.
It’s unclear if the site is its previously known nuclear-enrichment site in
Yongbyon, north of Pyongyang, or another that was undisclosed until now.
The images North Korea’s media released of the area could provide outside
experts a valuable source of information for estimating the amount of nuclear
ingredients North Korea has.
The report today said Kim expressed “great satisfaction repeatedly” over
North Korea's technical force in the nuclear power field.
US Trump Rules Out 2nd Debate
Former US president Donald Trump has categorically ruled out another debate
with his rival (競爭對手) for the White House Kamala Harris.
The Harris campaign had called for a second debate between the pair, after
polls suggested she performed better during Tuesday night's showdown.
Nick Harper reports from Washington.
Canada Churchill Portrait to be Returned
Canadian police say a renowned portrait of Winston Churchill that was
reported stolen from an Ottawa hotel has been tracked down in Italy.
Investigators will travel to Rome later this month to retrieve the 1941
portrait of the British leader taken by Ottawa photographer Yousuf Karsh.
Officials say once it is in Ottawa police custody, the portrait will be
returned to the Fairmont Chateau Laurier, where it will once again be
displayed as a notable (顯著的) historic portrait.
"The Roaring Lion” was stolen from the Fairmont Chateau Laurier sometime
between Christmas Day 2021 and Jan. 6, 2022, and replaced with a forgery.
The swap was uncovered months later.
That was the I.C.R.T. news,
Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded
every day in the afternoon.
Enjoy the rest of your day, I'm _____.
