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

Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 179-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
43,815 on turnover of $16.3-billion N-T.

Taipei logs hottest May temperature on record at 38.3°C
The Central Weather Administration says data shows temperatures at the Taipei
weather station hit 38.3-degrees on Wednesday afternoon - marking the hottest
May temperature ever recorded by the station since it was established in
1896.

According to the administration's forecast center, the temperature was
recorded shortly before 3PM at the station in Taipei's Zhongzheng District.

It surpassed the previous May record of 38.2 degrees, which was set twice, on
May 28, 2021 and May 27, 2018.

The forecast center is attributed the extreme heat to the combined effects of
a Pacific high-pressure system, reduced cloud cover and descending (下降) air
currents brought by southwesterly winds, which pushed temperatures higher
across the Taipei Basin.

The highest temperature on Wednesday islandwide was recorded in Tainan's
Yujing District, where the mercury hit 39.8-degrees.

Report: US & Iran reach initial agreement
The US and Iran have reached an agreement to extend (延長) the ceasefire and
open nuclear talks, according to the American news outlet Axios.

However, US President Donald Trump reportedly still needs to agree to the
plan.

Nick Harper reports from Washington.

UN Sexual Violence Report Includes Israeli and Russian Forces
An annual United Nations report documenting sexual violence in conflicts
worldwide has included Israeli forces for the first time since the review
began more than 15 years ago for their treatment of Palestinian detainees.

Russian armed and security forces were also blacklisted for the first time
this year for sexual violence against prisoners of war and civilians detained
during the war in Ukraine.

Israel and Russia both deny the accusations (指控).

The 35-page report was shared by the Israeli mission to the U.N. late
Thursday ahead of its expected release Friday.

The report says the number of cases of sexual violence in conflicts rose
sharply in 2025 from 2024.

Both Israel and Russia were warned in last year's report by U.N.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that they could be put on the list.

The ambassadors of both countries expressed outrage at their inclusion and
lashed out at Guterres.

Canada on US New Partnership
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is calling for a new partnership with the
United States.

He is making the comments just weeks before President Donald Trump decides on
whether to renew the free trade agreement between the countries.

Carney says there should be a “true partnership” that reimagines cooperation
in specific sectors deeply challenged by global competition.

But warned “we live in a world where integration has been weaponized (武器化)”
and noted that is why Canada is diversifying away from the U.S. and signing
trade deals with countries around the world.

Carney made a speech at the Economic Club of New York.

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