About
Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened down 70-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
33,267 on turnover of $5.6-billion N-T.
The market closed lower Thursday after giving up earlier gains amid lingering
concerns over the situation in the Middle East.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, which accounts for over 40-per cent of
total market value, lost 0.27-per cent and its decline cost the Tai-Ex about
200 points.
According to market watchers, foreign institutional investors have stood on
the sell side for most of the recent sessions and if such selling continues,
large-cap stocks could suffer further.
2,642 flu vaccine doses recalled over discoloration
The Centers for Disease Control has ordered the recall of over 2-thousand
doses of a government-funded flu vaccine following the discovery of a
discolored vial at a clinic in New Taipei.
The dose was manufactured by G-S-K and was found to be cloudy and white
during a routine pre-vaccination inspection.
The vial was reported and later classified as a defective product by the Food
and Drug Administration.
It was not administered.
The C-D-C says it traced the batch and found that 2,642 doses remained unused
across 14 jurisdictions (管轄權), including Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan and
Taichung.
However, about 545,280 doses from the same batch have already been
administered.
According to the F-D-A, the cause of the discoloration is under investigation
and the manufacturer has been asked to conduct a prompt probe under defective
product reporting mechanisms.
Maduro Back in Court Amid Dispute Over Legal Fees
Venezuela's former President Nicolas Maduro returns to a New York court on
Thursday, almost three months after US forces captured him in a dramatic
nighttime raid in Caracas.
Maduro's trial could be years away, but the court has to deal with a number
of issues first including whether the Venezuelan government should be allowed
to fund (提供資金) his legal defense.
Mitch McCann reports:
EU Investigating Snapchat
EU regulators are investigating Snapchat over fears it's not doing enough to
protect children from online harm.
The European Commission opened a formal case on Thursday under the Digital
Services Act.
Regulators say Snapchat’s age checks may not stop users under 13, or spot
users under 17.
Officials also worry that adults can pose as minors.
The commission says Snapchat may not stop grooming or criminal recruitment.
Snapchat said it has been fully cooperating with the Commission's
investigation.
Also Thursday, the commission accused four major porn sites of failing to
protect children from accessing (進入，使用) adult content.
Olympic IOC Excludes Transgender Women Athletes
Transgender women athletes are now excluded from the Olympics after the IOC
agreed to a new eligibility policy.
It aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order on women's
sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
The International Olympic Committee says “eligibility for any female
category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event, including
individual and team sports, is now limited to biological (生物學上的)
females.
The committee says this will be determined by a mandatory gene test once in
an athlete's career.
It is unclear how many, if any, transgender women are competing at an Olympic
level.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
