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

Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 64-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 43,708
on turnover of 16.2-billion N-T.

in the Middle East.

Lawmakers set to visit Dongsha Island
A group of lawmakers are set to visit the Dongsha Island in the South China
Sea this summer.

If the trip takes place, it will mark the first visit the island by lawmakers
in eight years.

K-M-T lawmaker Liao Hsien-hsiang says the trip is scheduled for July 9 and
lawmakers will inspect Coast Guard personnel stationed on the island and
facilities at Dongsha National Park.

The group will receive a briefing on the government's latest conservation
(保護) and management efforts on the island, visit a water treatment plant and
the Dongsha Post Office, and have a guided tour of Dongsha Wharf.

Dongsha Island is located about 450 kilometers southwest of Kaohsiung.

Jensen Huang to attend employee meeting in Taipei tomorrow
Visiting Nvidia C-E-O Jensen Huang will be attending an employee meeting in
Taipei tomorrow to celebrate the launch of the company's Taiwan headquarters
project.

According to Nvidia, the event will be taking place at the the site of the
company's planned headquarters at the Beitou-Shilin Technology Park.

Known as the Nvidia Constellation, the headquarters will be located on the
T-17 and T-18 plots in the technology park, which is located the Taipei's
Beitou District.

formal approval.

Pope calls for regulation of AI
Pope Leo the fourteenth is calling for the robust (強壯的) regulation of AI in a
manifesto that touches on the future of humanity.

Brazil Commits Funds for Ecological Investment
The Brazilian government has committed $617.5 million to boost ecological
investment in the Amazon.

Eight banks have pledged an additional $2 billion. Announced Monday, this
funding supports sustainable tourism, infrastructure and the bioeconomy.

The Eco Invest program, designed to reduce investment risks, has already
committed $28 billion.

Brazil aims for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

However, recent legislative moves threaten (威脅) environmental policies.

The lower house approved bills that weaken efforts against illegal
deforestation.

These measures still need Senate approval.

Despite setbacks, Brazil's environment minister insists the country remains
committed to reducing deforestation.

That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
