EZ News

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
22,202 on turnover of 4.9-billion N-T.
The market closed lower on Thursday, following losses for big tech stocks on
Wall Street overnight.
Cabinet Proposes Ban on Corporal Punishment by Parents
The Cabinet has approved draft legal amendments aimed at rescinding the right
of parents to use physical force to punish their children.
The draft amendments were proposed by the Ministry of Justice.
They seek to change Article 1085 of the Civil Code, which currently states
that parents "may, within the limit of necessity, inflict punishment upon
their children."
The revised version of the article will instead state that parents should
"give consideration to (充分考慮) their children's age and level of
development, respect their personalities, and not engage in mentally or
physically violent behavior against them."
Court Bans Kaohsiung City Councilor from Leaving Country
The Kaohsiung District Court has banned city councilor Huang Shao-ting from
leaving the country for eight months as he remain under investigation in a
corruption case.
The ruling came after the Kaohsiung District Prosecutors' Office charged
Huang with violating the Criminal Code and Anti-Corruption Act.
Prosecutors also charged 13 other individuals, including Huang's wife with
embezzlement (貪污) related offenses.
The prosecutors' office says Huang is believed to have embezzled some
14-million N-T during his three-terms as a Kaohsiung City councilor.
Mexico President Clarifies Immigration Stance
Mexico's President Claudia Shienbaum is clarifying (澄清) her country's
stance on immigration - after Donald Trump claimed she "had agreed to stop
migration through Mexico - into the United States."
Toni Waterman has more.
Russia Sentences Human Rights Lawyer
A Russian human rights group says a court in Russia convicted a prominent
(著名的) lawyer and sentenced him to seven years in prison for speaking out
against the war in Ukraine on social media.
The verdict in the case of Dmitry Talantov, who once chaired a regional
association of lawyers in Russia’s central Udmurtia republic, is the latest
in the Kremlin crackdown on dissent after sending troops into Ukraine in
February 2022.
Talantov is one of dozens of Russians arrested under a law adopted just over
a week after the invasion that essentially bans any public expression about
the war that deviates from the official narrative.
According to the rights group OVD-Info, some 1,100 people have been
implicated in criminal cases over their anti-war stance since February 2022.
A total of 340 of them are currently behind bars or have been involuntarily
committed to medical institutions.
Canada Antitrust Watchdog Suing Google
Canada’s antitrust watchdog is suing Google over alleged anticompetitive
conduct in the tech giant’s online advertising business and wants the
company to sell off two of its services and pay a penalty.
The Competition Bureau says that such action is necessary because an
investigation it conducted into Google found that the company “unlawfully”
tied together its ad tech tools to maintain its market dominance (主導地位).
The matter is headed for the Competition Tribunal, a quasi-judicial body that
hears cases brought forward by the competition commissioner about
non-compliance (不合規) with the Competition Act.
The bureau is asking the tribunal to order Google to sell its publisher ad
server, and its ad exchange.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
