Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 79-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,867 on turnover of 11-billion N-T. The market closed higher on Wednesday despite coming off the day's high on heavy technical pressure ahead of the 28,000 point mark as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing failed to sustain its initial gains. Taipei City Council approves terms of Nvidia land deal Taipei Deputy Mayor Lee Shu-chuan says the city council has approved the terms of a mutual termination (終止) agreement with Shin Kong Life Insurance that paves the way for the immediate return of a plot of city-owned land being eyed by Nvidia for its Taiwan headquarters. The deal includes a fee of about 4.4-billion N-T payable to Shin Kong Life by the city government. Transfer of the T-17 and T-18 plots at the Beitou-Shilin Technology Park is expected to be ratified (正式批准) by Shin Kong Life at a special board meeting later today. And the Taipei deputy mayor says that will then allow the city government and the insurer to sign the final contract tomorrow. Man who brought crocodile to Legislature to protest exotic pet ban fined And, The Taipei District Court has fined man who placed a live crocodile at the main entrance of the Legislative Yuan last month 10,000 N-T. The crocodile was left at the entrance in protest over a proposed ban on exotic pets on the morning of October 17. The man was quickly arrested by police and referred to prosecutors. He was fined for violating Article 70 of the Social Order Maintenance Act by allowing a dangerous animal to roam in public in the presence of other people. The court also ordered the seizure (查封，沒收) of his crocodile. The same man was arrested and fined 3,000 N-T in 2018 after bringing a crocodile to a protest at the Executive Yuan. US House Passes Bill to End Shutdown The US House has passed a bill to end the nation’s longest government shutdown. The vote today sends the measure to President Donald Trump for his signature after a historic 43-day funding lapse. The Senate has already passed the measure. Democrats wanted to extend an enhanced (提升，改善) tax credit that lowers the cost of health coverage obtained through Affordable Care Act marketplaces and refused to go along with a spending bill that did not include that priority. But Republicans said that was a separate policy fight to be held at another time. They eventually prevailed as the shutdown took an increasing toll on the country. COP30 Report Emissions Rising Still Scientists report that emissions from fossil fuels rose by 1.1% in 2025, marking the second consecutive year of a small increase. This was announced Wednesday at the United Nations climate negotiations near the Amazon. A second report by Climate Action Tracker says the world is on track for 2.6 degrees Celsius of warming, slightly down from last year's projections. The carbon project scientists projected that this year the burning of fossil fuels and making of cement (水泥) will have put another 38.1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide in the air. That's the equivalent of nearly 1.2 million kilograms of heat-trapping gas going into the air every second. The scientists say one bright point is that 35 countries cut their fossil fuel emissions from last year and were still thriving economically. But at the same time the United States, which used to be cutting fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions, spewed 2% more pollution this year compared with last year. That was the I.C.R.T.
