Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 81-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,818 on turnover of $6.6-billion N-T. The market rebounded on Thursday, after Wall Street ended in positive territory overnight on the back of upbeat economic updates and a steady flow of quarterly reports from U-S companies, which helped counter worries over an A-I bubble. Bag of cash left in train station bathroom leads police to bust fraud ring The Railway Police Bureau says it has arrested 11 suspects suspected of operating a fraud ring after discovering they'd being using a train station public toilet as a hand-off point for illicit cash. According to the bureau, the investigation began after a passenger found a bag containing 1-million N-T cash in a men's bathroom stall at Changhua's Yuanlin Station. Police say a man later appeared at the station claiming he had left his bag in the bathroom. He was questioned, failed to account for where the money came from and was arrested on the spot after authorities concluded the cash was illegally obtained (獲得) via fraud. Police later used surveillance video footage to track the man's movements and identified the organization's leader - who was later arrested at Taoyuan International Airport while attempting to leave Taiwan. The suspects are believed to have defrauded multiple victims of over 10 million N-T. Trump seeks mineral deals with Central Asian nations US President Donald Trump is welcoming the leaders of five Central Asian countries to the White House, as he looks to strengthen relations with the region and secure mineral deals. The US is trying to counter (對抗) the strong ties that Russia and China enjoys with the five nations: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan Nick Harper reports from Washington. UN lifts Syria sanctions The U.N. Security Council has voted to lift a series of sanctions on Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and members of his government days before he's set to arrive in the U.S. for a historic visit to the White House. The U.S. resolution to drop U.N. sanctions tied to al-Sharaa and Syria’s interior minister, Anas Hasan Khattab, passed with 14 members in support. China abstained (棄權) from the vote. American officials pushed to pass the resolution before Monday, when President Donald Trump is expected to host al-Sharaa in the first visit by a Syrian president to Washington since the country gained independence in 1946. Peru Declares Claudia Sheinbaum Peru’s Congress has declared Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum persona non grata. The announcement follows Mexico's decision to grant asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chavez. Peruvian officials have accused Mexico of interfering (幹擾) in their internal affairs. On Monday, Peru’s interim President Jose Jeri severed diplomatic relations with Mexico over the asylum decision. Chavez is being prosecuted for her role in the attempted dissolution of Congress in 2022. Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Ministry has called Peru’s decision excessive and maintains that granting asylum is consistent with international law. Peru is analyzing a legal response while Chavez remains in the Mexican diplomatic residence. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
