Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.





Tai-Ex opening

The Tai-Ex opened down 253-points this morning from yesterday's close, at

23,277 on turnover of 10.7-billion N-T.



Shares in Taiwan closed slightly lower Monday despite a late rally in which

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing recovered most of its early losses due to

its sound fundamentals.



The Taiex had strong technical support as it tested the five-day moving

average, and bounced back well above that level by the end of the trading

session.





Deputy speaker departs for U.S., France

Deputy Legislative Speaker Johnny Chiang from the opposition KMT departed

Taiwan late on Sunday for a trip to the United States and France where he

will conduct exchanges with American and French lawmakers.



Chiang's office says he is scheduled to attend a round of meetings which will

be held by the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce of North America in Fort

Lauderdale, Florida.



While in the U.S., the deputy speaker will also meet with American

congresspersons to discuss the result of the U.S. presidential election and

how Taiwan could be impacted.



After a two-day stay in the U.S., Chiang will head to France and join a

cross-party delegation consisting of (由…組成) ruling Democratic Progressive

Party and opposition Taiwan People's Party lawmakers visiting the French

Senate.



His office says the trip to the French Senate will focus on Taiwan's

participation in international organizations and combating disinformation.







Protesters Demand Justice After Station Roof Collapse

Anti-government protesters in Serbia are demanding arrests and the

resignations of top officials over the deadly collapse of a concrete roof at

a railway station that killed 14 people in a northern city this month.



The rally in Belgrade blamed the collapse on rampant (猖獗的，泛濫的)

corruption and sloppy renovation work on the station building in Novi Sad.



The work was part of a wider deal with Chinese state companies involved in a

number of infrastructure projects in the Balkan country.



Authorities have opened an investigation and Serbia’s construction minister

submitted his resignation last week, but no one has been charged or detained.







Scientists Predict 2024 Hottest Year on Record

Scientists are "virtually certain" that 2024 will be the warmest year on

record.



The Copernicus Climate Change Service, a European agency, made the

announcement on Monday, reinforcing (加固) predictions made earlier in the

year.



It comes as world leaders gather in Azerbaijan for the United Nations' annual

climate conference.



Sally Patterson reports.





Emperor Penguin Found in Australia

An emperor penguin found malnourished far from its Antarctic home on the

Australian south coast is being cared for by a wildlife expert.



A government statement says the adult male was found earlier this month on a

popular tourist beach in southwest Australia — about 3,500 kilometers north

of the icy waters off the Antarctic coast.



Researchers say the largest penguin species has never been reported in

Australia before.



And they have no idea why the penguin traveled to the Australian town.



Experts are focusing their efforts on rehabilitating (使康復) the bird, but

say "options are still being worked through" on if the penguin could

potentially be returned to Antarctica.





That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
