Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
**Tai-Ex opening **
The Tai-Ex opened down 3.2-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
15,592 on turnover of $3.95-billion N-T.
The market continued to gain ground on Thursday from the session earlier, as
investors reacted positively to the U-S Federal Reserve announcing that
America's economy is moving toward lower inflation.
The semiconductor sectors attracted strong buying, as foreign institutional
investors continued to move funds into the region, which is expected to have
positive effect on the local main board for the near future.
**NT$6,000 Tax rebate to be Accessible at Most ATMs **
The Ministry for Digital Affairs says the government's planned one-off 6,000
N-T tax rebate payment will be available via most ATMs.
According to the ministry, some 80-per cent of the ATMs islandwide will
provide access to the payment.
And the ministry says it is currently working on ways to directly deposit the
funds into the bank or post office accounts without the need for recipients
(領受者) to register first.
**Traffic Control Plan for Wuling Farm's Cherry Blossom Season **
Police in Taichung say traffic control measures will be implemented for the
cherry blossom season of Wuling Farm in the city's Heping District.
The cherry blossom season begins next Tuesday.
According to police, the daily number of visitors to the farm will be capped
(限制) at 6,000 during the 22-day season.
People will only be allowed to enter the farm run by the Veteran Affairs
Council with a pass issued to those who have made a booking.
The passes are issued to tour groups, people who have booked accommodation on
the farm, and individual visitors who have purchased bus tickets bundled with
tickets to the farm.
Visitors are being encouraged to use public transport.
**US: Chinese Spy Balloon Spotted **
The Pentagon says a Chinese spy balloon spotted over Western US.
AP's Lisa Dwyer has details.
**Guyana Death Sentence for Piracy Attacks **
A Guyanese court has handed down death sentences for two men found guilty of
high seas piracy attacks that killed seven fishermen off the nation’s coast
in 2018.
Authorities say the men were found guilty of attacking a group of fishing
vessels in waters near Suriname in a turf row over fishing grounds.
Seven fishermen perished (滅亡), while about a dozen others were rescued
after drifting on the waters for days.
The men can appeal the ruling to the local court of appeals and also to the
Trinidad-based Caribbean Court of Justice, which is the final court for
Guyana.
**Brazil Bolsonaro Elections Plot Controversy Continues **
A Brazilian magazine has released audio of a senator claiming then President
Jair Bolsonaro sought help in a plot to annul the October elections and keep
himself in power.
In the recording, Sen. Marcos do Val tells the magazine Veja that the idea
was discussed at a meeting Dec. 9, three weeks before leftist Luiz Inacio
Lula da Silva was set to take office.
Veja released the audio after the senator issued denials following the
magazine’s report Thursday morning about the purported (據稱) plot, which
had not cited him as its source.
Bolsonaro is already under investigation following the Jan. 8 riot in the
capital by his supporters.
He is in Florida and did not comment on any of his social media channels.
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.
