EZ News 11/19/25

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 48-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 26,708 on turnover of $8.7-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan tumbled almost 700 points to close at the day's low Tuesday as sell-off was triggered by heavy losses on the U.S. markets overnight amid fears over the U.S. Federal Reserve's hawkish stance and stretched tech stocks. Contract chipmaker TSMC shed 2.77 percent to close at the day's low, contributing about 320 points to the Taiex's fall. Analysts say judging from yesterday's movement, many investors dumped their stocks in panic to stop losses, so selling was seen across the board, including nontech stocks. Shimen reaches 12.4 degrees The Central Weather Administration says, today's coldest temperature on the main island of Taiwan clocked in at 12.4 degrees in New Taipei's Shimen. They say, Taoyuan's Yangmei and Hsinchu's Guanxi registered similar temperatures this morning. Meanwhile, experts say that areas in the north and east as well as mountainous regions (山區) can expect some rain as well. They say, lowland areas can expect temperatures to get as low as 12-16 degrees today. And tomorrow, experts say temperatures early in the morning will be around the same for areas north of and including Miaoli… while there will still be rain possible along the Keelung North Coast, and in the northeast tomorrow. Also starting tomorrow, experts say, we can expect a slight rise in temperatures across the country. And starting Friday and moving into the weekend, we can expect slightly wetter conditions in the north and northeast. (AH) Trump: Saudi Prince "Knew Nothing" about Khashoggi murder US President Donald Trump has said Saudi Arabia's Crown PrinceMohammed bin Salman "knew nothing" about the 2018 killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. He made the comments during an Oval Office meeting with the Kingdom's de facto ruler in stark (赤裸的，明顯的) contradiction (矛盾) to the finding of US intelligence. Nick Harper reports from Washington. Japan Fire Forces Evacuations Firefighters are battling a fire that has burned through a neighborhood in southwestern Japan and forced more than 170 people to evacuate. It started Tuesday evening and was still out of control this morning. Japan’s Fire and Disaster Management Agency said at least 170 homes have been damaged and a man in his 70s was unaccounted for. The fire started near a fishing port in the city of Oita during strong winds and spread to a forest. Oita is on the southern island of Kyushu. Vatican Pope Backs US Bishops Condemning Immigration Crackdown Pope Leo XIV has strongly backed U.S. bishops who condemned the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. He urged the American people to listen to them and treat migrants humanely (善良地，人道地). As he left his country house Tuesday evening, Leo was asked about the “special message” the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops adopted during their assembly last week. The text criticized the Trump administration’s mass deportation of migrants and the “vilification” (誹謗，詆毀) of them in the current migration debate. Leo has previously urged local bishops to take the lead on speaking out on matters of social justice. He said he appreciated the U.S. bishops statement and urged all people of goodwill to listen to what they said. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
