Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 20-points this morning from Friday's close, at 28,253 on
turnover of 5.4-billion N-T.
The market lost ground on Friday after Wall Street fell back following
President Donald Trump's meeting with China's Xi Jinping as investors
remained concerned over persisting trade tensions between Washington and
Beijing.
Urgent Care Centers begin operating on Sundays
Urgent Care Centers began operating on Sunday at 13 locations across the six
special municipalities, staffed by rotating primary care physicians.
Health Minister Shih Chung-liang says centers will be open on Sundays and
national holidays for patients with fevers, respiratory symptoms,
gastrointestinal symptoms, minor injuries or acute (急性) discomfort in
children.
The fees will be lower than large hospitals and are party of efforts by the
government to reducing patient numbers in emergency rooms.
Tainan runners shine at Penghu Cross-Island Marathon
Participants from a Tainan-based group were the biggest winners at Sunday's

The Penghu National Scenic Area Headquarters says a total of 3,443 runners
from 19 countries took part in the event.
They included 101 international athletes, 2,664 from Taiwan proper, and 678
from Penghu.
An eight-member team from Tainan took the line honors (最先完成賽程的榮譽) in
both the men's an women's races.
UK One Train Stabbing Suspect Released Without Charge
British police say one of two men arrested over a stabbing attack on a train
has been released without charge.
The attack took place as the 6:25 p.m. train from Doncaster in northern
England to London’s King’s Cross station was about halfway through its
two-hour journey, having just departed (離開) from a stop.
The only remaining suspect is a 32-year-old British man who remains in
custody on suspicion of attempted murder.
Police said earlier that two men, aged 32 and 35, were arrested after the
attack that left 11 people hospitalized.
One victim remains in a life-threatening condition – a member of train staff
whom police say saved lives with his “heroic” actions.
US Treasury Secretary likens Canadian tariff ad to 'election interference'
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has likened the Canadian province of
Ontario's television advertisement criticizing Donald Trump's tariffs to
'election interference (選舉干涉)'.
He also said that the US president's threat of 10% additional tariffs on
Canada hasn't taken effect yet.
Ira Spitzer has more from Washington.
Italy Revives Temp Bridge to San Michele
Venice has revived a tradition of building a temporary bridge to San Michele
island for All Souls' Day.
The bridge allows Venetians to walk the quarter-mile lagoon crossing to pay
respects to their dead.
The practice, originally made of boats lashed (綁住) together, stopped in the
1950s.
It was revived in 2019 with modern pontoon construction but was interrupted
by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The bridge opened Thursday for the Roman Catholic holiday.
Only residents could use it through Sunday, and it opens to tourists on
Monday.
San Michele has been Venice’s main burial ground since 1807.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
