Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 633-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,213 on turnover of $10.4-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed lower Wednesday after giving up earlier gains, as investors stayed cautious ahead of an Nvidia Corp. investor conference and the release of meeting minutes by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Analysts say the bellwether electronics sector failed to stage a successful technical rebound as tech stocks saw their gains eroded amid lingering valuation concerns after recent strong gains among AI stocks. They say investors continued to pocket profits built recently for now with TSMC in focus. KMT, TPP leaders meet to discuss possible electoral collaboration The leaders of Taiwan's opposition KMT and TPP met Wednesday to discuss the prospects for collaboration (合作) in the 2026 local elections. Speaking during their public meeting in New Taipei, KMT Chairperson Cheng Li-wun told TPP Chairman Huang Kuo-chang that she hoped the parties' recent cooperation in the Legislature would deepen in the run-up to local elections. Cheng acknowledged "difficulties" in previous efforts toward a KMT-TPP alliance, but said that after meeting Huang, she felt strongly that they were on the same page. Huang, meanwhile, said he would direct the TPP's think tank to reach out to its KMT counterpart to discuss local governance and the parties' 2026 election goals.

The attack hit two apartment blocks, injuring at least 73 people. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted most of the 476 drones and 48 missiles fired overnight. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Turkey seeking diplomatic support against Russia. He met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Meanwhile, Romania and Poland scrambled (緊急起飛) fighter jets in response to the attacks. Russia claims the strikes targeted Ukrainian energy facilities and military-industrial targets in retaliation (報復) for Kyiv's actions. Brazil NPO: Crime Groups Expanding in Amazon A prominent nonprofit group in Brazil says that criminal gangs expanded their presence in the Brazilian Amazon last year and are now operating in nearly half of the region’s municipalities. The Brazilian Forum on Public Safety says the growth of these crime groups in the region, where U.N. climate talks are currently taking place, is driving violence and threatens the preservation of the world’s largest tropical rainforest. The nonprofit says organized crime groups are now active in 45-percent of over 770 municipalities. That’s a jump of 32% from last year’s report. The NPO says combating organized crime in the Amazon will require a focus on alternate ways of developing the region besides “predatory exploitation (剝削，開發利用) of resources.” That was the I.C.R.T.
