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


Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 33-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 20,232
on turnover of $8.7-billion N-T.

The market rose more than 400-points on Thursday to close above the
20,000-point mark and hit yet another record high - as buying was sparked by
a rally on Wall Street overnight.

Gains were seen across the board - as investor sentiment got a major boost
following the conclusion of the U-S Federal Reserve's latest policymaking
meeting, at which America's central bank hinted that interest rates will be
cut three times this year.



Poisoned Black-Faced Spoonbill Released into the Wild
A poisoned black-faced spoonbill has been released back into the wild in
Chiayi County.

The county's Agriculture Department says over the past four years it has
rescued and rehabilitated (使康復；使恢復) 13 black-faced spoonbills,
attaching satellite trackers to them before releasing them into the wild.

One of those rescued black-faced spoonbills was previously sighted along the
county's coastline.

The most recently released black-faced spoonbill was rescued on March 9 after
the Kaohsiung Wild Bird Society reported finding the bird, which was sick and
unable to fly.

The bird was taken to the agriculture ministry's Biodiversity Research Center
for treatment.

The Taiwan Wild Bird Federation says as of November of last year here were
3,905 black-faced spoonbills in Taiwan, representing some 59-per cent of the
global population.


UN Warns More Funding Needed for Haiti
The United Nations' humanitarian coordinator in Haiti has warned that without
more money, aid in the country will be at risk.

Addressing the media remotely from Port-au-Prince on Thursday, Ulrika
Richardson said it would be a 'catastrophe' (災難) if the international body
was unable to hand out meals to Haitians.

This comes as foreign nationals continue to be evacuated from the country, as
violence rips through the capital.

Sally Patterson has more.


EU to Open Membership Negotiations with BosniaHerzegovina
European Union leaders have agreed in principle to open membership
negotiations with Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The 27 leaders gave the political green light at a summit in Brussels after
the European Commission last week agreed to start talks in spite of deep
lingering (揮之不去) ethnic divisions in the nation with 3.2 million
inhabitants.

But the officials emphasized the need for Bosnia to keep on taking “all
relevant steps set out” by the Commission that include economic, judicial
and political reforms as well as better efforts to tackle corruption and
money laundering.


Australia Invest in UK Industry for Subs
Australia is set to provide $3 billion to British industry to support the
construction of nuclear-powered submarines and ensure (確保) its new fleet
arrives on time.

The announcement at an annual gathering today comes a day after the two
countries signed a defense and security pact to better meet such challenges
as China's increasing presence in the South China Sea and South Pacific.

The 10-year deal will boost capacity at a Rolls-Royce factory in the United
Kingdom to build the nuclear reactors that will propel the submarines being
built by BAE Systems in Adelaide, Australia.

The Virginia-class submarines will be primarily from a U.K. design and will
have a U.S. weapons system onboard.

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.
