CPC to invest up to US$4.4 billion in Alaska LNG project The Ministry of Economic Affairs has confirmed that CPC will invest (投資) up to 4.4-billion US dollars in an Alaska liquefied natural gas project and buy 6-million metric tons of LNG a year once production begins. According to the ministry, if the project proceeds on schedule, it could begin supplying LNG to Taiwan as early as 2032. The ministry says partnership with the project's U-S developer is expected to diversify (使多元化；分散來源) Taiwan's LNG supplies. The statements come after U-S President Donald Trump told reporters during that Taiwan has agreed to buy 30-per cent of the gas from the proposed liquefied natural gas project for the next 20 years. WBC outfielder Stuart Fairchild to visit Taiwan in November And, Taiwanese-American outfielder Stuart Fairchild will visit Taiwan in November. According to his agency, the trip will give Fairchild an opportunity to experience the enthusiasm (熱情) of Taiwan fans in person. The agency has not released any information concerning when he'll visit Taiwan or what events his itinerary (行程) will include.

RUSSIAN ATTACKS ON LUTSK KILL SIX AS KREMLIN INTENSIFIES BOMBARDMENT OF UKRAINIAN CIVILIAN SITES Ukraine's emergency services say six people have been killed and twelve injured in Russian attacks on civilian (平民的；民用的) sites in the western Ukrainian city of Lutsk on Wednesday. The deaths come a day after Russian ballistic missiles struck all three of Kyiv's power plants overnight, killing five and leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity — an attack President Volodymyr Zelensky says came with no advance warning (事先警告) from Western allies. US President Donald Trump says Washington is still sharing intelligence with Kyiv, but Ukrainian officials say they were left exposed. Peter Dickinson in Kyiv says captured Russian documents suggest Moscow's aim is to destroy civilian infrastructure and break the country's will to resist through the coming winter months. France Netherlands Food Loss After Cyberattack on Refrigeration Systems Supermarkets in France and the Netherlands are dealing with the aftermath (事件造成的後果) of a cyberattack that disrupted refrigeration systems. The attack, which began overnight from Sunday to Monday, caused temperatures to soar (急升), leading to significant food losses. France's Cybersecurity Agency warned that the attacks might still be ongoing and advised stores to secure their systems. In the Netherlands, a major chain had to restart systems after a cybersecurity incident halted deliveries. Investigations are underway, but no perpetrators have been identified.  Experts say the attack highlights vulnerabilities in older refrigeration systems and the need for better cybersecurity measures.

Taiwan International Travel Fair to open in early November The Taiwan International Travel Fair will be taking place in Taipei in early November. The annual (每年一度的) exhibition was previously called the Taipei International Travel Fair, but organizers chose to add the word "Taiwan" to its title as it enters its 40th year. According to the Taiwan Visitors Association, the travel fair will feature 1,600 booths (攤位) representing 123 countries and cities. Tourism authorities from South Korea, the United States, Thailand, Malaysia, France and the Czech Republic will also be taking part.

HOUTHIS WARN CIVILIANS TO EVACUATE RIYADH AIRPORT AND ARAMCO SITES AHEAD OF THREATENED RETALIATORY STRIKES Yemen's Houthi movement has issued evacuation warnings for Riyadh's airport and two Saudi Aramco facilities, signalling imminent (即將發生的；迫在眉睫的) retaliatory strikes after a coalition attack on a Yemeni oil facility near Sanaa. The warnings come a day after a Houthi ballistic missile struck Aramco's headquarters complex in Dhahran, and as US President Donald Trump confirmed he had spoken with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman but declined to reveal what was discussed. The president faces mounting pressure (日益增加的壓力) to act, with the Saudis having twice previously asked Washington for direct military help against the Houthis and been turned down both times. Kate Fisher reports from Washington. Israel returns Greek artifacts Israel has returned 22 ancient Greek artifacts (文物) that were illegally removed from Greece, marking the first such repatriation (遣返；文物歸還原屬國) between the two countries. Greece's culture minister received the antiquities at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens from the Israel Antiquities Authority. The collection includes a bronze statuette of a woman and pottery decorated with mythological scenes and geometric motifs, dating from approximately 700 B.C. to 320 B.C. The handover comes as Greece intensifies its international campaign to reclaim the Parthenon Marbles. The 2,500-year-old sculptures were removed from the Acropolis and are now displayed at the British Museum in London. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

    Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 175-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 49,126 on turnover of 13-billion N-T. The market closed slightly lower on Monday after recovering most of its early losses, as buying related to co-packaged optics and shipping offset selling in major semiconductor stocks. 12 mayoral candidates sign sustainability pledges ahead of elections Twelve candidates in the upcoming local government elections have signed pledges to promote sustainable and resilient policies if elected. The names of the 12 candidates who have signed the pledges were announced at a press conference held by civic groups. Those civic groups include the Green Citizens' Action Alliance and the Taiwan Climate Action Network. The groups invited candidates running for mayor in Taiwan's six special municipalities to sign the pledge (保證). It focused on 18 policies in the areas of renewable energy, disaster preparedness and resilience, heat adaptation, flood management, and sustainable transportation. Taipei Zoo red panda Chi-Chi adjusting well in Singapore A male red panda transferred from Taipei Zoo to the Singapore Zoo has now begun exploring his new home and is adjusting well to the move. According to the Mandai Wildlife Group, which operates (經營) the Singapore Zoo, when Chi-Chi first arrived, he seemed unsure of his new surroundings and wandered around, but he gradually settled in. The zoo operater says red panda is now lively around visitors and in good physical condition - and roams (閒逛) his enclosure in the morning and around noon before spending time with his keepers in the afternoon. Ten year old Chi-Chi was transferred to the Singapore Zoo in June as part of a partnership to help maintain the red panda captive population. OIL PRICES RISE TWO PER CENT AS SAUDI ATTACKS OVERSHADOW TRUMP'S RUSSIAN DIESEL DEAL AND DISPUTED ENERGY CEASEFIRE Oil prices have jumped two per cent on Monday, with Brent crude hitting its highest level in nearly two weeks, as attacks on Saudi Arabia and accusations of violations to US President Donald Trump's proposed energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine have pushed markets higher. Trump announced on Sunday that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to halt strikes on energy infrastructure — but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia launched a strike on a power plant in Kharkiv shortly after the announcement, and that drone attacks have continued over Ukrainian cities. The Kremlin has declined to confirm the terms of any deal, saying only that contacts are ongoing. Nick Harper, our reporter in Washington, says the Russian diesel deal is facing bipartisan opposition from lawmakers who say it breaches (違反) a 2022 law banning Russian energy exports. Canada PM Makes Case Ahead** of Alberta Separation Referendum** Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is making the case for Alberta to remain in Canada, warning one week before the province’s referendum that separation would begin a “long and uncertain process” at a dangerous time for the country. The Oct. 19 vote asks Albertans whether the province should remain in Canada or begin the process of holding a referendum on separation. Carney pointed to a proposed West Coast pipeline from oil-rich Alberta, as well as new housing and a high-speed rail, arguing that Canada is building major projects again and that division would make that harder. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith called the vote, but supports remaining in Canada. A vote for separation in a future referendum would not automatically make Alberta independent, as provinces cannot secede (脫離（國家或政府)) unilaterally and negotiations with the federal government would have to follow.

The market shed nearly 500 points last Thursday after Wall Street fell overnight - as the tech-heavy Nasdaq declined 0.2-per cent. Medical professionals, social workers speak up amid drug policy dispute Medical and social work groups are voicing support for drug harm-reduction policies (政策). It comes amid a political debate fueled largely by Taipei mayoral candidates ahead of the November 28 local elections. The Taiwan Association of Clinical Psychology and the Association of Taiwan Clinical Psychologists have issued a joint statement supporting harm-reduction measures, including clean-needle programs and methadone maintenance treatment. The statement comes after Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an questioned D-P-P mayoral candidate Puma Shen's position on drugs and his proposed policies - arguing that would encourage drug abuse. Philippines opens largest OFW service center in Taipei, eyes expansion The Philippines has opened its largest overseas Filipino worker service center in Taipei. It's located in the same building as the Manila Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei's Neihu District. The O-F-W Global Center-Taipei is the third such facility worldwide, following centers in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. It is also the largest to date. According to the country's Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, the Taipei center is designed as a one-stop hub where Filipino migrant workers in Taiwan can access government services, welfare assistance (社會福利援助) and training without returning to the Philippines. The facility includes training spaces, a cafe, a karaoke room and areas for government services. NKorea Fires Projectile Towards Eastern Watesr South Korea’s military says North Korea fired at least one projectile toward its eastern waters, adding to a recent streak in weapons demonstrations. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff today did not immediately say whether the weapon was a ballistic missile or how far it flew. Japan described the weapon as a suspected ballistic missile. The launch followed an Oct. 3 test of what the North described as a hypersonic intermediate-range missile designed to evade (逃脫，躲開) missile defenses in South Korea and Japan. North Korea in recent weeks has also conducted live-fire drills and commissioned a new warship. TRUMP DECLARES RUSSIA-UKRAINE ENERGY CEASEFIRE ON TRUTH SOCIAL — ZELENSKYY SAYS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NEWS TO HIM US President Donald Trump has declared on Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an immediate energy ceasefire, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the announcement was news to him, and Moscow has not confirmed it. The announcement follows a bipartisan backlash (強烈反彈) from senators who say the administration's decision to lift sanctions on Russian diesel is illegal — but the White House has shown no sign of backing down. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has defended the move, saying the president has the legal authority to act. From Washington, Kate Fisher reports. Pope Surgery to Remove Lesion Pope Leo XIV has announced he will undergo surgery to remove a nodular lesion on his lung in the first major health event of his 17-month pontificate.. The lesion was found at an early stage and is well-localized. The Vatican said Sunday the surgery is scheduled in the coming days, with a recovery time of about a week. Leo, who is 71 and physically active, made the announcement during his Sunday blessing. He thanked the crowd for their support and prayers. Leo has a major trip planned for November to South America, but it's unclear if the surgery will affect his itinerary (行程表). That was the I.C.R.T.

    Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening  The Tai-Ex opened down 23-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 49,783 on turnover of $11-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed slightly lower Wednesday as large-cap tech stocks (大型股) took a pause ahead of the 50,000-point mark, while the upcoming National Day holiday also kept investors from raising their positions. Analysts say although the local market's fundamentals (基本面) remain sound, uncertainty created by U.S. monetary policy could affect its performance. Li Chen-Hsiu denied right to run for local office in Hsinchu Local election officials have disqualified (取消資格) former lawmaker Li Chen-hsiu from running for mayor of Hsinchu's Zhubei… over a requirement for Chinese citizens naturalized as Taiwanese nationals to have 10 year's household registration before seeking public office. The Hsinchu County Election Commission says that Li, a so-called "mainland spouse," would have had to submit proof of having given up her household registration in China before November 2016 in order to be qualified to run. Li says she became a citizen of Taiwan in 1999 and was approved to establish household registration here, but the Mainland Affairs Council says that she did not submit proof to immigration officials that she had given up her household registration in China until March of last year. Li says she will seek legal remedies (法律救濟途徑) to challenge the Hsinchu County Election Commission's decision and continue her bid for Zhubei mayor. Spain Maricarmen Dies After Eviction María del Carmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman whose eviction (驅逐租客；迫遷) from her Madrid home sparked protests across Spain, has died. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Housing Minister Isabel Rodríguez expressed condolences (哀悼；慰問). Known as “Maricarmen,” she became a symbol for renters struggling with Spain's housing crisis. Her eviction on September 23 led to nationwide protests.  Despite a deal allowing her to return home, her health worsened.  Her lawyer did not disclose the cause of death, but highlighted the impact of evictions on health. Maricarmen's case has galvanized a social movement, leading to a general strike and early elections called by Sánchez. DHS PROPOSES $70,000 FEE ON SCHOOLS FOR EACH INTERNATIONAL STUDENT'S WORK PROGRAMME PLACEMENT The US Department of Homeland Security has proposed a seventy-thousand-dollar fee that universities would have to pay for each international student entering the Optional Practical Training work programme — a move that could effectively end the scheme. The current fee is around five hundred dollars. DHS says the programme has become a pipeline for cheap foreign labour (外籍勞工), but higher education groups warn the proposal would devastate (重創；造成嚴重損害) university finances and damage American innovation. James Gooderson reports from Washington. Italy US Consulate Workers to Receive Payouts for Labor Abuses Foreign workers building the new U.S. consulate in Milan have signed agreements securing payouts (賠償金；支付款項) for alleged labor abuses. More than 60 laborers, mostly from India, were processed Wednesday, receiving their share of a nearly 35-million US dollar settlement with Alabama-based Caddell Construction. Prosecutors say it is the largest labor settlement for exploitation (剝削) in Europe. Workers were paid less than $2 dollars an hour, denied overtime, and subjected to threats. The settlement includes payments for unpaid overtime and housing deductions.  Nearly 480 workers can expect payouts, with some still working on-site and others elsewhere. The investigation against Caddell remains open. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Shares in Taiwan closed at a fresh high Tuesday, but gains were capped as the benchmark index remained below the 50,000-point mark, with some investors selling shares to lock in gains. But contract chipmaker TSMC stayed resilient and still posted gains after retreating from an intraday high, helping the broader market break its previous closing record. New THSRC trains may pave way for family cars, senior citizen cards The minister of transportation and communication says, new Taiwan High Speed Rail trains could pave the way for a pilot program involving family cars and the expanded use of senior citizen cards. Chen Shi Kai made the statement after KMT lawmaker You Hao asked if the THSR planned to designate family cars, since some parents complained about being asked to quiet noisy children. Chen says, the MOTC has discussed the issue with THSR, but noted that space on existing trains is limited. However, Chen says the idea is "well worth" trying out, adding that, when new trains enter service, the ministry will seek to launch a trial (試用) as soon as possible. The first three of the new N700ST trains are expected to begin service in July of next year, improving capacity across the THSR system. 12 are scheduled to be deployed by the end of 2028 to further increase capacity. TRUMP WARNS** US WILL FINISH IRAN WAR 'THE NICE WAY OR THE NOT-SO-NICE WAY'** AS CALIFORNIA ROW DEEPENS US President Donald Trump has warned that America will "finish up" its war with Iran, saying on Tuesday it is only a question of whether it happens "the nice way or the not-so-nice way." The comments at a defence industry event in Maryland came as the president was already facing a backlash over remarks at a campaign rally on Monday night, when he suggested Iran could attack Los Angeles and San Diego — prompting California Governor Gavin Newsom to call him deranged (瘋狂的，神經失常的) and dangerous. The White House says the president was making the point that American cities would have been under threat had his administration not acted against Iran's nuclear programme. Kate Fisher has more from Washington. WHO Pneumonic Plague Risk Low The World Health Organization says that a possible case of pneumonic plague in Russia poses a "very low" risk outside the country. A lab employee died from pneumonia there last week, prompting an investigation by Russian officials. Pneumonic plague is a severe form that affects the lungs and spreads through respiratory particles but is treatable (可治療的) if caught early. Russian authorities have conducted preventive measures and say the situation is stable. WHO has not been asked to send experts to Russia but is monitoring the case. U.S. officials urge transparency, while experts note the pathogen's limited ability to spread due to modern medicine. Nobel Physics Prize for Belgian Scientist and Neutrinos A Belgian-born scientist has won the Nobel Prize in physics for his efforts to demystify a rare group of neutrinos, tiny cosmic particles that researchers believe offer clues to how the universe evolved. rancis Halzen is a physicist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the U.S. Neutrinos are cosmic particles with no electric charge and extraordinarily (极其) small mass, making them difficult to detect. Yet they are virtually everywhere. T he Nobel committee said Halzen's work was key to the construction of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica. Halzen said the research was a collaborative effort. That was the I.C.R.T.

Metaverse healthcare can boost Taiwan's global competitiveness Health Minister Shih Chung-liang says the integration of metaverse technology into healthcare could enhance the country's international visibility and competitiveness in the medical sector. Speaking at a conference in Taipei, the minister said the development marks an important milestone in Taiwan's efforts to combine its strengths in information and communications technology with high-quality healthcare. According to Shih, such technology can be used in anatomy education, preoperative consultations with patients, surgical planning and intraoperative (術中) navigation and guidance. THSRC adds Friday trains, non-reserved seats to ease crowding The High Speed Rail Corporation says it will be adding southbound trains to Taichung starting Thursday, the final working day before the National Day holiday. According to the rail operator, the move is due to the expected increase in passenger volume over the three-day weekend holiday period. The announcement follows complaints (投訴) of severe crowding during the four-day Mid-Autumn Festival and Teachers' Day holiday. TURKEY AND PAKISTAN AGREE TO RAPID TROOP DEPLOYMENT TO SAUDI ARABIA UNDER MECCA DEFENCE PACT AS YEMEN WAR ESCALATES Turkey and Pakistan have agreed to deploy troops rapidly to Saudi Arabia under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, after an emergency meeting in Riyadh on Monday to address the escalating war in Yemen. Iran has warned that any new intervention would only make the situation more complicated, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington will honour its defence pact with Riyadh — though a Western diplomat says the American role is limited to (僅限於) military advisers and intelligence, including targeting data. A third US aircraft carrier is now heading to the Middle East. From Washington, James Gooderson reports. Ethiopia PM on Red Sea Access Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed insists his country must have access to the Red Sea. On Monday, he reiterated this stance despite neighboring countries asserting (斷言) that the sea's governance is for coastal states. Ethiopia lost direct access in 1993 when Eritrea became independent. Abiy emphasizes the importance of a port for Ethiopia's “civilization.” Relations with regional neighbors have worsened, with renewed conflict in the Tigray region and disputes over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. On Sunday, Egypt, Eritrea, Sudan, and Somalia met in Cairo, emphasizing cooperation and rejecting actions affecting the Nile. The U.N. and African Union urge a peaceful resolution. Italy Premier Applies for Voice Trademark Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni has applied to trademark her voice with the European Union intellectual property office in a bid to bolster protections against AI-generated deepfakes. The filing comes as concerns grow over AI tools that can mimic voices and images. Meloni has repeatedly warned about the dangers of deepfakes after fake images of her circulated (流傳) online. The application remains under review and would not automatically block AI-generated imitations, but could strengthen legal protections. The filing follows a separate legal battle launched by Meloni in 2024 against a man accused of creating and posting deepfake pornographic images using her likeness. The case remains pending before an Italian court. That was the I.C.R.T.

Attorney Thomas Giuffra says people have been trying to unmask the woman's identity online, and that at least three other women have been wrongly targeted (針對) as a result. Mitch Mccann reports from New York. Details on FlyDubai Attacker Regional officials say authorities in the United Arab Emirates shared with Israel a list of passengers and crew ahead of last week's FlyDubai flight on which a pilot attempted to seize control of the Israel-bound aircraft and crash it. The details raise new questions over how the attacker evaded detection. Preliminary details have highlighted several major security lapses (安全漏洞，安保疏漏). Israel now plans a review of security around foreign flights to Israel. Officials already have said the Omani co-pilot had been barred from flying by his own country because of his extremist views.
