[00:07:44] Although Typhoon Baihaitang continues to approach, it did not directly hit Taiwan, but the weather
[00:07:48] was turbulent. Taichung experienced heavy rain overnight. Some roads were flooded
[00:07:52] and a woman riding a motorcycle was caught in the rain for a mere three seconds and was drenched
[00:07:56] by the sudden downpour, like a drowned rat. Taichung experienced a stormy night
[00:07:59] with strong winds and heavy rain. People driving on the road saw continuous splashing water, with the water level reaching
[00:08:03] one-third of the wheel height.
[00:08:06] In Taichung's Donghai business district, there were also strong winds and heavy rain, causing
[00:08:10] floods. People saw traffic cones floating like swimming buoys
[00:08:13] . Although Typhoon Baihaitang did not directly hit
[00:08:17] Taiwan, as it got closer, it still brought turbulent weather.
[00:08:21] Taichung experienced continuous thunderstorms all night, and the rain came down suddenly and quickly. A woman
[00:08:24] riding a motorcycle was caught in the rain for three seconds and was drenched. However, during the typhoon
[00:08:28] season, some people still celebrated Father's Day. They were worried that the thousand-person
[00:08:32] oyster roast in Zhanghua would be cancelled due to the typhoon, but fortunately it proceeded as scheduled
[00:08:35] . It was very
[00:08:37] big
[00:08:42] . They went directly to Zhanghua to roast oysters . In addition to buying clams and grilled
[00:08:46] rice, some people also brought their own ingredients to share
[00:08:48] .
[00:08:53] Fruits, white water chestnuts . Come here
[00:08:57] and take a walk
[00:08:57] .
[00:09:03] The annual thousand-person oyster roast was fully booked as soon as it opened . Even on a typhoon day, they still roasted
[00:09:07] and ate well
[00:09:08] .
[00:09:12] On Taichung's section 74, Dali Road
[00:09:14] .
[00:09:18] The car first hit the outer guardrail and then rushed into the inner lane, violently colliding with the central divider. In Miaoli Houlong,
[00:09:22] an engineering vehicle driver, due to fatigue, swerved around a bend and crashed
[00:09:25] through the gate of a factory on the roadside, then overturned and lay
[00:09:29] in the middle of the road. On Taichung's section 74, a blue sedan swerved from the outer lane
[00:09:33] , lost control, made a 90-degree turn, rushed into the inner lane
[00:09:37] , and then hit the central divider, emitting white smoke . Immediately after, the entire car flipped
[00:09:41] over, scattering car parts
[00:10:55] . His beloved cat, Ami, went missing in March and it has been
[00:10:58] 138 days since then. The owner has been searching for him on the streets
[00:11:02] and even bought surveillance cameras and other equipment to set up. He even paid
[00:11:05] for cat detectives to help search, but there were no results. Now, he is
[00:11:09] directly increasing the reward from 80,000 to 200,000, hoping
[00:11:13] to attract a large number of cat lovers to help find
[00:11:17] Ami as soon as possible. Ami .
[00:11:20] 。
[00:11:22] Come in .
[00:11:24] The owner's heart was broken, so he increased the reward from 80,000 to 200,000.
[00:11:35] He disappeared here
[00:11:37] . It might be because the camera angle couldn't capture it
[00:11:41] . Ami disappeared on March 23rd this year and was last seen in Zhanghua Yuanling Temple. At that time, there was a dog nearby and he was startled and ran away. Ms. Chen, the owner, said that she found Ami 6 years ago when he was shot by an air gun
[00:11:55] . Therefore, she decided to adopt him. They have been together for so many years, and he is like family
[00:12:10] . To find Ami, Ms. Chen once paid for cat detectives to help search, but they couldn't find him either. Now, holding onto a glimmer of hope, she printed 20,000
[00:12:14] flyers and distributed them, hoping that
[00:12:25] air strike on Iran caused geopolitical turmoil. Iran retaliated with missiles and drones against
[00:12:29] Persian Gulf countries, forcing various countries to readjust their security arrangements
[00:12:33] . Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan formally signed
[00:12:37] a defense agreement. Similar to NATO's collective defense, if one party
[00:12:41] is attacked, the three countries will be considered to have been attacked
[00:12:44] . After Iran was jointly bombed by the media, the Middle East war
[00:12:48] continued to spread, forcing various countries to readjust their security arrangements
[00:12:52] . Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan .
[00:13:25] Security commitments began to waver. After Israel attacked Iran at the end of February, Iran and its
[00:13:29] allies retaliated with missiles and drones against Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf countries,
[00:13:33] and even blocked the Strait of Hormuz, impacting global energy transportation. Now, the three countries
[00:13:36] have chosen to band together for warmth . Turkey has NATO's second largest army,
[00:13:40] Saudi Arabia has oil, and Pakistan is the only Islamic country
[00:13:44] with nuclear weapons. The three countries each hold military, energy, and nuclear
[00:13:48] weapons as bargaining chips, especially since Trump only today called for a ceasefire because America's ammunition
[00:13:51] reserves are tight .
[00:13:54] The total investment is 59.1 million. Tourists only need to show their passport to enter for free to experience the popular equestrian sport. If you're lucky, you might even meet celebrities like Guo Cheng. The owner also has different experience zones and games at the horse farm. This moving
[00:16:37] ancestors. Netizens joked that even the ancestors knew to avoid geomantic
[00:16:41] unfavorable areas, while under Xi'an are ancient tombs everywhere. Some excavation routes
[00:16:45] even unearthed more than 1,300 tombs. The ancestors underground
[00:16:49] might be more numerous than the living people above ground . In Jinan, Shandong, mainland China,
[00:16:52] Baotu Spring is known as the "First Spring under Heaven," with a maximum
[00:16:56] discharge of 240,000 cubic meters, which is astonishing. Jinan has
[00:17:00] 72 springs, which made the construction of the subway in mainland China hit a snag. Let's see how
[00:17:03] Jinan's groundwater compares to the selling price of Mao's blood
[00:18:38] . He was admitted to Peking University and solved a mathematical problem that had baffled mathematicians for a hundred years. Another person, Deng Yu,
[00:18:42] revealed that his research inspiration came from eating, specifically when he was having fried chicken
[00:18:46] . With his thick-rimmed glasses, Chang Xiangqing exudes an intellectual aura. Mainland Chinese mathematician Wang Hongrong
[00:18:50] received the Fields Medal, known as the Nobel Prize of mathematics. Another mainland Chinese mathematician, Deng Yu,
[00:18:54] also received the award. The two made breakthroughs in geometry and mathematical physics
[00:18:58] , respectively, setting a record for mainland Chinese mathematicians winning
[00:19:02] the top international mathematics award for the first time
[00:19:06] . The 35-year-old
[00:22:35] . In addition, Tzu Chi was defrauded of 1.06 billion yuan for buying vaccines
[00:22:47] . 218 bottles of local sweetness exceeded the standard .
[00:23:40] BNT was bombed for 1.06 billion. If there is vaccine money, people can buy it randomly. All sectors of society are protesting
[00:23:47] . You were cheated? Then you are the government, you are dead?
[00:26:16] machine guns, aerial bombing, and drone formations
[00:26:20] armored vehicles, they are like sharp rockets
[00:26:28] had originally planned to conduct live fire exercises, but cancelled it to avoid
[00:26:32] the typhoon
[00:29:03] . The two cars collided head-on, and both fronts instantly exploded and were cut in
[00:29:06] half, leaving only scrap metal. Three people were injured . On Taichung's section 74,
[00:29:10] Dali Road, a driver changed lanes and lost control
[00:29:13] . The entire car turned 90 degrees and almost
[00:29:16] slid off the bridge. The driver desperately pulled the steering wheel to save it, but it bounced back and rushed
[00:29:25] violently into a transformer box, and pulled up the power lines
[00:29:28] .
