[00:03:36] 。 [00:03:43] It was almost submerged by the mudslide [00:03:43] . [00:03:48] Mudslides began to appear in Jishui. Currently, the southbound lane is closed, and the northbound lane [00:03:52] is open for one-way traffic, but not only in the mountainous areas, but also in the urban areas, there are continuous floodwaters, with a scene of devastation [00:03:56] . [00:04:05] The fire raged fiercely, with red flames erupting, like a giant dragon descending and swallowing the entire residential building [00:04:09] . The scene was filled with thick smoke that pierced the sky , and the nearby residents were all terrified, [00:04:13] hurriedly grabbing their belongings and fleeing for their lives [00:04:14] . [00:04:21] They sprayed water fiercely, even climbing ladders onto the roof to desperately fight the fire. Nearby [00:04:25] residents exclaimed that when they saw the flames and white smoke, they wanted to use a hose to extinguish [00:04:29] the fire, but the water flow was too small and the distance was too far. The fire was out of control [00:04:33] . [00:04:38] . [00:04:42] I'm so nervous [00:04:47] Starting from 31 Dahu Road, Qidu, Keelung , a residential building suddenly caught fire in the morning [00:04:50] .

[00:11:29] It was like driving a boat on a sea lane, and the screams of the public were continuous . In addition, on the same day, there were fishermen [00:11:32] in Miaoli who went fishing, but unexpectedly, the boat broke down, and three [00:11:36] people were stranded at sea for nearly two hours. [00:13:56] The incident occurred at noon on the 25th in Tainan's Ann Ding District. The white car driver hit [00:13:59] the wrong car, and netizens sarcastically commented that the red light had been on for so long, yet he still ran it. It felt like the blue car [00:14:03] didn't care about the red light and didn't slow down at all. How could such a person who can't even see traffic [00:14:07] lights get a driver's license [00:14:09] ? [00:14:13] On Fuchien Road, a car turning almost hit a motorcycle. The [00:14:16] motorcycle immediately braked hard and swerved, twisting the rider and vehicle violently, narrowly [00:14:20] avoiding the accident. Netizens were shocked, exclaiming that this missile could turn. The car's driver gasped, even [00:14:24] though turning was necessary. [00:14:56] Running a red light and hitting another car at high speed, the white car was flung out, its rear hitting a utility [00:14:59] pole and bouncing back. It was truly dangerous.

Also [00:15:18] in Changhua, a car that was stopped at a red light suddenly caught fire [00:15:22] . [00:15:25] An explosion was heard , and the driver was so scared that he hurriedly jumped out of the car [00:15:28] . [00:15:37] The next second.

He quickly got out of the car to escape and saved his life. [00:20:42] It was so dilapidated that even the beds and stairs were covered with mold, and there were many traces of patching. Other students also revealed that the walls would leak water when it rained recently [00:20:46] . In addition, a freshman also took a picture of the dormitory of Pingtung University [00:21:50] . [00:21:51] It's really super cheap [00:21:58] . Therefore, starting from the 116th semester . [00:22:05] It's really the wall, massive water leakage, especially it's all peeling off, the floor is all water [00:22:09] . Open the window blinds and there's also a terrifying [00:22:13] black mold. The glass even has a hole, is it a bullet hole [00:22:16] ? Other windows have no glass, only a piece of paper taped on it. [00:23:50] It was very disgusting. I couldn't stand it and vomited once. When I arrived at the station, I vomited three more times. When I picked up my child, I vomited again. [00:23:56] The student bought this bento box with a large piece of braised pork on August 30th. Taiwan Railways responded that the branch office also left a message stating that they would handle refunds and other matters, but after one day, no one has actually contacted them. [00:24:12] I think this is the funniest thing. I haven't received anything or any phone calls, so I think he's just talking nonsense. [00:24:17] Kaohsiung City life after [00:24:50] If even the most basic services cannot be done well, the public's lost [00:24:53] trust cannot be easily regained with just an apology. Reporter [00:24:57] Lian Cao Wen Lin, Taipei Kaohsiung interview report. The government also plans to increase various [00:25:01] medical material administrative fees, with the highest increase reaching 100%. Medical material [00:25:05] 業者 are complaining.

[00:27:32] meeting between the people and the chairman of the White House Economic Council, Hassett [00:27:36] . However, experts question whether the results of the tariffs were basically a waste of more than 10 million [00:27:40] . Some even believe that if the Taiwan-US relationship is so firm, [00:27:43] why does Taiwan have to pay extra to meet with US officials [00:27:47] ? When the US was busy dealing with reciprocal [00:27:51] tariffs with the whole world last year, data from the US Department of Justice showed that last year, Taiwan's National Security Bureau [00:27:55] commissioned a Washington public relations firm to lobby, spending 325,000 US dollars [00:27:59] , or about 10.3 million New Taiwan dollars , to facilitate the meeting of the Director of the National Security Bureau [00:28:13] . One is Tsai Ming-yen, Director of the National Security Bureau, and the other is the Asia-Pacific Peace Research Foundation . The ASG office [00:28:17] also contacted the White House presidential office advisor on June 20, and on July 8 [00:28:21] , Tsai Ming-yen met Hassett. But everyone is curious why the government always boasts that the Taiwan-US [00:28:24] relationship has entered its best period, yet it still has to spend tens of millions of Taiwan dollars to meet officials [00:28:28] under Trump ? [00:29:02] 16 F16V will be delivered starting in 2023, and all of them will be delivered by 2026, but this year only two can be delivered. Are we letting the US earn money and listen to them, extending the military service but still not getting anything in return? Do we still have to pay extra to meet officials under Trump? They want us to buy this and that, and we are overbuying everything. They keep telling me that the crisis is huge, that the CCP is going to attack, and that Taiwan is the most important country in the world. [00:30:32] redeployed mines in the strait , and Iran quickly retaliated [00:30:36] with eight missile attacks on a US military [00:30:40] base in Iraq. The conflict between the two sides escalated . In addition, US President [00:30:44] Trump also reached a historic 25-year bilateral energy [00:30:47] agreement with Venezuela's interim president. Outsiders [00:30:51] interpreted this as the interim president of Venezuela possibly wanting to consolidate [00:30:55] his personal power through this. After a month [00:30:58] , the US military struck again, swiftly and accurately.
