Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened down 96-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
23,094 on turnover of 3.7-billion N-T.
The market lost ground on Monday as a decline on Wall Street at the end of
last week resulted in the selling of large cap electronics stocks.
Turnover also remained thin as foreign institutional investors remain away
from the market for the New Year's Day holiday, making it hard for the main
board to rally - leaving the Tai-Ex in consolidation mode.
Government revises 2030 carbon reduction target upwards
The government has revised its 2030 target for the reduction of carbon
emissions upwards - but is warning that uncertainties over electricity usage
and climate change technologies remain.
According to Environment Minister Peng Chi-ming, the government will now
pursue (追求) a goal of reducing carbon emissions by between 26 and 30-per
cent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels.
That's up from the previous goal of between 23 and 25-per cent set in
December of 2022.
Peng says the wider margin of error than the previous forecast is due to
several uncertainties - including international political and economic
developments - which could affect progress on climate change issues
differently across countries.

legal battle over their ownership.

available in chronological (時間順序) order.

South Korean Court Issues Arrest Warrant for Impeached President Yoon Suk
Yeol
South Korea's anti-corruption agency says that a court has issued warrants to
detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol and search his office.
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials said in a
statement that the Seoul Western District Court issued warrants Tuesday to
detain Yoon over his stunning (令人驚嘆的) yet short-lived martial law decree
earlier this month and to search the presidential office in central Seoul.
The agency said it is investigating whether his declaration of martial law
amounted to rebellion.
Yoon's powers have been suspended since the opposition-controlled National
Assembly voted to impeach him on Dec. 14.
The Constitutional Court is to determine whether to dismiss Yoon as president
or reinstate him.
US: Treasury Targeted by Chinese Hackers

Greece to Launch GovOperated App
Greece says it will enhance parental oversight of mobile devices in 2025 by
building a government-operated app, that will help get digital age
verification and browsing controls.
The country's minister of digital governance said the Kids Wallet app will
launch in March and is aimed at safeguarding children under the age of 15
from the risks of excessive and inappropriate internet use.
He said the initiative will help hold social media platforms more accountable
(應負責任的) for enforcing age controls.
The app could be pre-installed on smartphones sold in Greece by the end of
next year.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
