[00:00:13] In a storm of wind and rain, a giant tornado was seen twisting and turning, moving like a long, thin column over the sea.
[00:00:17] Many fragments flew in the air, and even caused some power lines to collapse,
[00:00:21] and trees were uprooted. This afternoon, the storm
[00:00:24] came suddenly. People queuing to enter the Huashan Cultural and Creative Park
[00:00:28] could only respond. People huddled together. In Taipei,
[00:00:32] there were also strong winds. People were so scared that they hid in shops and dared not walk on
[00:00:35] the road. Some families on the first floor didn't have time to pull down their windows, and
[00:00:39] all kinds of debris were swept into their homes by the strong wind. The Baihaituan typhoon has already reached the vicinity
[00:00:43] of Beihai'an and continues to move eastward. In Yilan, Greater Taipei, and Hengchun areas,
[00:00:47] strong gusts of wind from 7 to 10 on the Beaufort scale have been observed. The impact is expected to be
[00:00:51] most severe over the weekend. In the central mountainous areas and northern regions,
[00:00:55] there will be heavy rain or localized torrential rain. In the northern mountainous areas, there will be torrential
[00:00:58] rain or higher levels.
[00:01:06] The possibility of landslides and other disasters cannot be ruled out. In terms of air traffic, 17 domestic flights
[00:01:10] have been canceled, and 61 international flights have been canceled.
[00:01:14] In addition, the Okinawa area is affected by the peripheral circulation,
[00:01:17] and all flights to and from Taiwan on Saturday have been canceled. But will there be a typhoon
[00:01:21] holiday? Looking at the typhoon
[00:05:12] If you're obedient, your mother will grab your nose, and carry you away like a baby.
[00:05:16] It seems that the love of parents is the same for all animals. They protect when they need to,
[00:05:20] but they will certainly not be soft when disciplining. Reporter Lin Zhihui
[00:05:23] reported from Shuangji. In Yunnan, mainland China, a herd of wild elephants
[00:05:27] broke into an electric car charging station. One of the baby elephants had its leg
[00:05:31] caught by a charging cable. Although it was pulled out and freed not long after,
[00:05:35] it angered the adult elephant nearby. It headbutted the charging
[00:05:39] station and knocked it over. Before that, the staff
[00:05:43] who were repairing the charging station quickly hid in their cars when they saw the elephants. Later,
[00:05:47] it was found that the charging gun and cable were damaged. Wang You shouted,
[00:05:50] "The elephants have a grudge!"
[00:09:29] rolling wildly on the road, smoking, and even catching fire and burning fiercely like a fire wheel. These
[00:09:33] cars were all frightened and swerved, while in Kaohsiung's Xingxing District,
[00:09:37] a driver was riding his scooter and swerving frantically to avoid something.
[00:09:41] The whole car screamed.
[00:11:25] If you encounter this typhoon that disrupts your plans to travel abroad or
[00:11:28] return to Taiwan to celebrate Father's Day with your father, your flight will be affected.
[00:11:32] Let's quickly bring you the latest typhoon dynamics. The center of
[00:11:36] Typhoon Baihaituan is currently located in the sea northeast of Taiwan,
[00:11:40] moving at a speed of 12 kilometers per hour westward and then southwestward.
[00:11:44] The typhoon's path is a bit erratic. Although it is still moving
[00:11:48] towards the mainland, its slow movement also means that the impact of wind
[00:11:51] and rain, as well as the scope, may be extended.
[00:11:55] Currently, the affected area continues to cover northern Taiwan
[00:11:59] and the sea in the northeast. Due to the typhoon's path actually
[00:12:03] being a bit northward, the probability of a land typhoon
[00:12:07] warning being issued for the main island is not high. As for whether a land warning will be issued for Matsu,
[00:12:11] the probability is actually much lower than yesterday. However,
[00:12:14] tomorrow during the day, the peripheral circulation of the typhoon will still have a significant impact on Taiwan.
[00:12:18] Especially, everyone should pay special attention to the accumulated rainfall in the central
[00:12:22] and northern mountainous areas, which will become more significant. The maximum accumulated
[00:12:26] rainfall is expected to be in the mountainous areas of New Taipei City, as well as
[00:12:30] in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli mountainous areas. The total rainfall may reach
[00:12:34] 300 millimeters, and it may be concentrated within 24 hours.
[00:12:38] We need to prevent the crisis brought by the rainfall. Starting tonight,
[00:12:42] in fact, the rain will become heavier and heavier. The main areas affected
[00:12:45] will be the central plains and southern mountainous areas. You can see
[00:12:49] that the current accumulated rainfall is highest in Shengang District, Taichung,
[00:12:53] with 67 millimeters.
[00:14:55] After nightfall until Monday, with the departure of the typhoon and the change
[00:14:58] in wind direction, the rain will start to shift to the mountainous areas and the south.
[00:15:02] So, starting from Monday, you can see that the main areas with rain
[00:15:06] will be in the southern region.
[00:15:08] 。
[00:15:14] This situation will continue until next Friday. That is,
[00:15:18] in the central and southern parts of the front, the probability of rainfall will be higher.
[00:15:22] There will likely be short showers or thunderstorms. And in the north,
[00:15:37] it's 26
[00:15:40] to 31 degrees. Next is the central region, 26 to 33 degrees. And the south, 26 to 35
[00:15:44] degrees. And in the east, it's 29 to 37 degrees.
[00:15:47] Okay, the temperatures in the south and east might reach above 36
[00:15:51] degrees. In addition, the offshore islands are 27 to 36
[00:15:55] degrees. Tomorrow, Sunday, if you want to take your father out to celebrate Father's
[00:15:59] Day, you should go south today. The weather is good, just be careful not to get heatstroke.
[00:16:02] A small reminder for you. Tomorrow, we mainly need to prevent localized
[00:16:06] heavy rain, especially in the central and northern mountainous
[00:16:10] areas. It is expected that in the mountainous areas of New Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli,
[00:16:14] the total rainfall can reach 300 millimeters, and it may
[00:16:18] be concentrated within 24 hours. So, prevent the dangers brought by the rainfall.
[00:16:22] There will be instantaneous heavy rain, thunder, or lightning.
[00:16:26] In low-lying areas, special caution is needed to prevent flooding. As for
[00:16:30] wind force, tomorrow, in areas north of Hsinchu to the northeast coast,
[00:16:33] the Hengchun Peninsula, and the southeastern coast.
[00:16:48] In addition, the coastal waves in various places are relatively large, especially in the northern coast and Matsu area, there may be huge waves, and the wave height
[00:16:51] will be greater than 6 meters.
[00:16:55] Tomorrow, if you are in central or northern Taiwan, try to avoid going to mountainous areas or the seaside.
[00:16:59] Heavy rain will cause landslides, and the sea will have strong winds and waves. Absolutely
[00:17:03] do not go to watch the waves. Safety first. The current typhoon warning is expected to be lifted
[00:17:07] around noon on Monday.
[00:17:07] typhoon warning.
[00:20:19] may attack NATO ally Mongolia next, with troops deployed as early as autumn.
[00:20:23] The US Senate has passed a massive sanctions bill, authorizing
[00:20:26] a tariff of up to 500% on Russian energy.
[00:20:30] Huge fires raged in Kyiv as Russia
[00:20:34] relentlessly bombed Ukraine. The latest US intelligence , however, indicates that Russian President Putin
[00:21:20] focused his efforts on building projects like the White House Oval Office and the Arc de Triomphe.
[00:21:23] Now, the appeals court upheld the original ruling, determining that the project
[00:21:27] was not approved by Congress and must be halted. Trump threatened to appeal
[00:21:31] to the Supreme Court. On the other hand, after Iran was jointly bombed by the media, Turkey, Saudi
[00:21:35] Arabia, and Pakistan signed a joint defense agreement in Mecca,
[00:21:38] stating that an attack on any one country would be considered an attack on all three.
[00:21:42] Like a Middle Eastern version of NATO's Article 5, the three countries, lacking military resources and nuclear
[00:21:46] weapons, chose to form an alliance for defense, also reflecting their stance against the United States.
[00:22:20] Now, there are reports that the Ministry of Education has tightened its review of reports from graduate students
[00:22:23] coming to Taiwan with their teachers, as well as the curriculum and itinerary for graduate students.
[00:22:27] This is seen as raising the threshold and hindering cross-strait exchanges. All sectors are calling
[00:22:31] for more cross-strait exchanges to truly reduce animosity and misunderstanding.
[00:22:35] In the past, cross-strait academic exchanges were frequent. Whether short-term graduate students or degree-seeking
[00:22:39] students, they could freely come to Taiwan for exchanges and studies. Young people from both sides interacting
[00:22:42] could be seen everywhere on campuses. But with the recent tension in cross-strait relations and
[00:22:46] tightening policies, it's no longer the case.
[00:25:50] The divorce was unexpected, but from the perspective of a benign expert, after divorce, there is no need
[00:25:53] to be entangled. The common teaching situation will seem particularly deliberate. Because
[00:25:57] if two mature adults have already decided to separate, why not
[00:26:01] wish each other well?
[00:26:23] This program is of a very high standard, from the host to the guests and the production team. The selected
[00:26:27] topics and the angles taken are all very precise.
[00:26:31] It is a profound
[00:27:02] Thank you, you really helped us understand his feelings.
[00:30:02] You are watching Chung-Shih News Channel.
[00:30:04] 。
[00:30:12] Good evening.
[00:30:12] 。
[00:30:22] The peripheral circulation has now begun to affect Taiwan's land, bringing heavy rain. Let's listen to the latest explanation from the seven mice.
[00:30:25] Good afternoon, everyone.
[00:30:28] 。
[00:30:33] Sea typhoon warning. Currently, Typhoon Baihaituan is still a moderate typhoon, and
[00:30:37] its storm circle is still quite wide. Its storm radius is
[00:30:41] 280 kilometers.
[00:30:44] In the future, it will gradually move westward and then northwestward.
[00:30:48] Therefore, its storm circle has already reached
[00:30:52] the northern waters of Taiwan and the northeastern waters. Currently, the sea,
