Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened down 170-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
23,228 on turnover of 10-billion N-T.
The market closed sharply lower - falling by more than 370 points on Thursday.
This is despite Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing recouping some of it's
loses from the previous session.
Analysts say bargain hunters jumped-in to the market late in the trading day
to pick up T-S-M-C stocks.
The old economy sector attracted investor interest.
The financial sector outperformed the broader market to stem the downturn at
the bottom of the session.
Drivers and Pedestrians Must Seek Shelter during Next Week's Wanan Defense
Traffic controls will be imposed and pedestrians will be required to go seek
shelter during next week's 30-minute-long Wanan air defense drills.
The drills will be taking place in central Taiwan next Monday, in the north
on Tuesday, the east and outlying islands on Wednesday and in the south on
Thursday.
All of the drill will run from 1:30 to 2PM.
Interior Minister Liu Shi-fang says local governments will each issue an air
defense alert.
They will use television, radio, police patrol car broadcasts and other
broadcast systems at villages and schools during the drills to enhance the
coverage of the air-raid warning.
Text message alerts will also be sent to people's mobile phones.
Drivers must immediately park and, along with pedestrians (行人), follow
police instructions to enter the nearest air raid shelter.
Those caught violating the rules face a fine of up to 150,000 N-T.

Saturday.

Canada Female Military Chief
A woman has become the top commander of Canada's military for the first time.
Gen. Jennie Carignan officially took over command of the Canadian Armed
Forces in a ceremony at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa on Thursday.
Carignan was promoted to the rank of general during the change-of-command
ceremony.
She was chosen by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to become
Canada’s first female defense chief.
Trudeau praised Carignan as someone of the right caliber (水準；才能) to take
over.
He points out she is the first woman to lead the military of any Group of 20
country.
Cambodia Finds Rare Siamese Crocodile Eggs
Officials in Cambodia say conservationists have found 106 eggs of rare
Siamese crocodile species in a western Cambodian wildlife sanctuary.
They say it was the biggest discovery in the last 20 years, giving new hope
for the world’s rarest crocodile species' survival (生存) in the wild.
The group discovered the species eggs in Cardamom National Park in May.
Officials say between June 27 and 30, a total of 60 eggs successfully hatched.
It’s believed only about 1,000 Siamese crocodiles remain in the wild, with
more than 300 of them in Cambodia.
That was the I.C.R.T. news,
