Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened opened down 289-points this morning from yesterday's close,
at 46,651 on turnover of 10.9-billion N-T.
Two-story building damaged by adjacent construction work in Taipei
A two-story building in Taipei has been severely damaged after an adjacent
(鄰近的) construction work caused its ground floor to crack and leak yellowish
muddy water.
No injuries were reported.
The building are located in an alley off Minquan East Road, near Xingtian
Temple M-R-T Station.
Officials say an initial investigation suggests that a breach in the
underground diaphragm wall during foundation excavation and retaining
operations caused water and sand leakage.
The Taipei City Government says construction work at the site has been
suspended due to failure to maintain the safety of adjacent public facilities
and buildings, and work will not resume until an improvement plan has been
submitted and approved.
The contractor and the supervisor have each been fined 90-thousand N-T.
Citrus taiwanica becomes Taiwan's first patent-protected Indigenous crop
Citrus taiwanica has received patent protection covering products derived
from the plant and been licensed to a Saisiyat cooperative in Miaoli County.
Citrus taiwanica is a citrus species traditionally used by the Indigenous
Saisiyat people.
According to the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency, the patent covers
applications of the plant and products derived from (源自) it, with
authorization from the Saisiyat tribe required for their use.
The case marks the first time a traditional Indigenous crop and products
derived from it have received patent protection.
The agency says the traditional knowledge underlying the use of the citrus
came from the Saisiyat tribe and that technologies and products developed
through modern research based on that knowledge should benefit its original
holders.
Authorities are insisting that license is not intended to monopolize the
plant, but aimed at protecting and preserving the traditional knowledge of
the Saisiyat people.
Yemen Houthis Take Control of Mokha
The Iran-backed Houthi rebel group has taken control of Yemen's strategic Red
Sea port city of Mokha. Houthi and Yemeni officials confirmed the takeover.
This move could bring them closer to controlling a critical waterway to the
Red Sea.
Meanwhile, Yemeni government forces launched airstrikes targeting Houthi
reinforcements west of Taiz.
Clashes also continued along Yemen’s western coast.
Mokha had been held by forces aligned with Yemen’s internationally recognized
government.
The Houthis have been fighting a civil war with the government since 2014.
The fighting now threatens a fragile (脆弱的) truce that took effect in 2022.
TRUMP'S $5,000 DIVIDEND PLEDGE FACES LEGAL DOUBTS AND BOND MARKET JITTERS AS CRITICS CALL IT A BRIBE
US President Donald Trump's pledge to give every American adult five thousand
dollars if Republicans hold Congress in the midterm elections could cost more
than one-point-two trillion dollars, with no clear plan to pay for it.
Legal experts have questioned whether the president even has the authority to
authorise (授權) such a payment, since the US Constitution requires Congress to
approve government spending.
Nick Harper, our reporter in Washington, says the president has a track
record of floating (提出想法、試探性地提出) similar dividend proposals that have never
been delivered.
