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



Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened opened up 358-points this morning from yesterday's close,
at 27,282 on turnover of 13-billion N-T.

The positive opening came after the market tumbled more than 350-points on
Monday, as investors reacted to U-S President Donald Trump's threat to hike
tariffs on Chinese goods by 100-per cent.




Taipei City Government and Shin Kong Life remain at odds over compensation
for Nvidia land
The Taipei City government is urging Shin Kong Life Insurance to accept a
compensation agreement in exchange for relinquishing the surface rights of
plots T-17 and T-18 in the Beitou-Shilin Science Park - where Nvidia wants to
build its Taiwan headquarters.

Shin Kong Life has said it's willing to directly transfer the surface rights
to Nvidia, but the city government is stressing that such a move would
violate the contract - as to date nothing has been built on the site.

The city government has offered to pay compensation (賠償) of between 500 and
800-million N-T to Shin Kong Life and return the more than 3-billion N-T the
company bid to acquire the land rights.

However, Shin Kong Life is pushing for 10.7-billion N-T in compensation for
terminating the contract.



Generics and imports to plug gap left by departing drug makers
Health Minister Shih Chung-liang says the availability of generic and
imported medications mean the withdrawal of essential drugs from the Taiwan
market this year is not expected to result in shortages.

The statement comes after the Food and Drug Administration announced that as
of last month, the makers of 47 drugs classified as essential under the
Pharmaceutical Affairs Act have given the legally required six-month notice
of their intention to end local sales.

According to the health minister, there are generics available in Taiwan for
46 of the 47 drugs.

The only drug that currently lacks a locally approved alternative is an
immunosuppressant used in organ transplants manufactured by Padagis.


Joy in Israel as hostages return but many bodies still missing
The families of the last 20 living hostages held by Hamas in Gaza have been
sharing joy and relief at their return to Israel after two years in captivity
(關押,囚禁).

But Israel says only four of the dead hostages have been returned after Hamas
said it does not know the location of some of the other 24.

Blake Sifton reports from Tel Aviv.


Madagascar President Flees Country Amid Coup
Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina says he has fled the country in fear for
his life following a military rebellion.

But he did not announce his resignation in a speech broadcast on national
television late Monday night from an undisclosed location.

Rajoelina has faced weeks of Gen Z-led anti-government protests which reached
a pivotal point on Saturday when an elite military unit joined the protests
and called for the president to step down.

That prompted Rajoelina to say that an attempted coup was underway
(正在進行的) in the Indian Ocean island and leave the country.

The situation remains volatile, with curfews in place in major cities.
