[00:00:00] Trump's related news. Hainan, China's Lingshui hosted the first
[00:00:04] Mermaid World Cup. The competition attracted
[00:00:07] over a hundred top athletes from 12 countries, who competed underwater in the style of mermaids,
[00:00:53] Hengchun Peninsula is experiencing strong winds and heavy rain. The instantaneous wind reached level 10,
[00:00:57] which is the same level as a typhoon.
[00:01:11] Three people were trapped, and the police and firefighters went to rescue them, but the rescue boat
[00:01:14] unfortunately capsized. Two police and fire personnel fell into the water, and one
[00:01:18] unfortunately drowned. Pingtung City experienced heavy rain, and the wind and clouds changed
[00:01:22] dramatically, with strong winds and heavy rain sweeping through. Shop signs disintegrated in the air
[00:01:26] in just a few moments, torn to shreds by the strong winds.
[00:01:30] The instantaneous wind reached level 10, showing the power of the typhoon. Pedestrians walked in the rain, swaying
[00:01:33] left and right, feeling like they were about to be blown away.
[00:01:37] Strong winds and heavy rain also hit Kenting Chuan
[00:01:41] Shi. The heavy rain was at a 45-degree angle,
[00:01:44] and everything in front was a blur. The Nantou Wujie
[00:01:47] search and rescue team advanced, wading through rushing water all the way. The police carefully
[00:01:51] supported themselves against the mountain wall or held hands to move forward. The water
[00:01:53] level was above their knees. Heavy rain caused the water to rise sharply. Five people who were upstream on the Zuo Shui River
[00:01:57] capsized, and three were trapped on the opposite bank. After rescuing one person, there were still two people
[00:02:01] waiting to be rescued. When the police and firefighters were rescuing them, the rescue boat capsized, and
[00:02:05] one police officer fell into the water and was trapped. Despite rescue efforts, he died. In the Pingtung disaster
[00:02:09] area, there was also a mudslide. After the mountain wall collapsed, yellow muddy water gushed out from the cracks.
[00:02:13] The winding mountain road was covered with mudslides, and residents commuting often worried that
[00:02:16] they could go out but would not be able to return home due to the flood.
[00:02:19] 。
[00:02:24] The muddy water from the Modan Reservoir flowed out, creating a powerful torrent like a red disaster.
[00:02:28] The eastern section of Taitung was directly impacted. The road down to the south was completely blocked by mudslides, and the road administration stated that vehicles could not pass.
[00:02:46] The Zhanghua Garden was submerged, and muddy water covered the road. Cars driving through felt like they were going to be swept away by the flood. This was the scene of typhoon 83.
[00:04:00] The intersection of lines 133 and 134. The driver of the white car that was hit was sent
[00:04:03] to the hospital. Netizens sarcastically commented, "The red light has been on for so long, and you still ran it. The blue car didn't care about the red light
[00:04:07] and didn't slow down at all."
[00:04:09] 。
[00:04:12] On the southbound section of National Highway 3 in Xinzhu, a large truck behind aggressively squeezed its way from the outer lane
[00:04:16] and violently collided with the car. The entire section of the road was suddenly shaken, and debris flew everywhere.
[00:04:20] The driver screamed in fright. The dashboard camera also captured the collision
[00:04:23] from behind.
[00:04:24] 。
[00:05:42] In Sanchong, New Taipei, two women actually got into a big fight
[00:05:46] on the bus, pulling each other's hair and hitting each other's faces with bags.
[00:05:50] It turned out that one of them was unhappy that the other person's handbag
[00:05:54] touched her calf, which escalated into a physical altercation.
[00:05:57] In addition, in the North District of Taichung, an elderly man, driving without
[00:06:01] a license, scratched a motorcycle by the roadside. He thought he could just pay to settle it,
[00:06:05] but was stopped by passersby. The elderly man angrily shouted,
[00:06:09] "I have money!"
[00:07:42] The ghost-cut car crashed into a police car and sped recklessly against traffic. The driver was
[00:07:46] apprehended by police right before entering his home. It turned out that this was his
[00:07:50] 11th time driving under the influence without a license and attempting to flee, with a fine of
[00:07:53] at least 200,000 NTD. In Kaohsiung, a man saw
[00:07:57] a police officer and immediately ran, throwing away a suspicious
[00:08:01] smoke bomb while running, trying to shake off the police. However, he himself fell
[00:08:05] to the ground and was arrested.
[00:08:07] 。
[00:09:12] The man ran from the police because he was carrying a suspicious smoke bomb. The man
[00:09:16] evaded the police, ran over obstacles, hit a police car, and sped against traffic. He was only a short
[00:09:20] distance from his home when he was subdued and arrested. This was his 11th time driving under the influence without a license
[00:09:24] and attempting to flee, with a fine starting at 200,000 NTD. I hope he will truly learn his lesson.
[00:09:28] 。
[00:09:31] In Hualien, there's a bar on Mingshi Street. Some customers, in order to compete
[00:09:34] for the attention of the female hostess, got into a big fight inside the bar.
[00:09:38] One of the male customers was beaten by four people, resulting in a serious injury to his right eye.
[00:10:25] The male customer was chatting with the hostess at the time, when suddenly a female customer from the next table
[00:10:28] invited the hostess to move to her table, which displeased the male customer.
[00:10:32] A verbal dispute broke out between the two parties. The female customer's boyfriend and three friends at the same table
[00:10:36] immediately swarmed the male customer, four against one, beating him until his eye was
[00:10:40] seriously injured. The four men were arrested as current offenders.
[00:10:43] The entire case was transferred to the Hualien District Prosecutor's Office for obstruction of public order and
[00:10:46] assault under the Criminal Code.
[00:10:48] 。
[00:10:52] On the other hand, in Banqiao, New Taipei, two men were fighting by the roadside. A woman
[00:10:55] tried to calm down her boyfriend, but instead ignited his anger. He grabbed
[00:10:59] the other person's arm, and with a swift throw, threw him to the ground.
[00:11:02] 。
[00:11:05] The man struggled to get up, but was immediately thrown back to the ground and pinned down
[00:11:09] with someone sitting on him, groaning repeatedly. A passerby said, "My wife and I came
[00:11:13] to fight."
[00:11:13] 。
[00:11:18] It turned out to be a lovers' quarrel. The man and woman were pulling each other by the roadside. A passing man
[00:11:22] glanced at them, which angered the man, who then threw him down.
[00:12:25] They were fighting fiercely.
[00:12:41] I didn't expect the fighting to be not enough.
[00:12:42] 。
[00:12:46] It turned out that not long ago, the man in black used his bag to reserve a seat and went to buy something.
[00:12:49] 。
[00:12:51] The other person moved the bag away, sat down, and started eating. The two immediately started fighting.
[00:13:25] The woman was crying for help, clasping her hands and begging for mercy. She was seeking revenge on the street
[00:13:28] but unfortunately mistook the wrong person. Earlier, he also committed murder on the road, holding a large
[00:13:32] machete and rushing to the coffee shop where his enemy worked. However, along the way, he mistook
[00:13:36] a passing female cyclist for his enemy and pointed his knife at her. Only after she took off her helmet did he realize it was
[00:13:40] not the same person. He then turned around and swaggered away. The police arrested the original suspect in the sauna
[00:13:44] and brought him to justice.
[00:13:48] When the car was making a turn in the middle of driving,
[00:13:51] a woman suddenly fell out of the passenger seat.
[00:19:37] At the Presidential Office, should the DPP's legislative committee announce which accounts not to touch in the future,
[00:19:41] 号 哪 些 名 字 不 要 碰
[00:19:42] lest you accuse us again?
[00:19:56] I can accuse you, but you cannot doubt me. Should the committee members who watch iQiyi
[00:20:00] come out and apologize first?
[00:20:02] 。
[00:20:38] Is it to give money and then let it out, to thank them for supporting the big dam? This is clearly a case of letting it out, and then
[00:20:42] it becomes giving money. Only the DPP's "tsui-yi" and these cultural groups
[00:20:46] supported by the DPP can take money.
[00:21:20] The number of beneficiaries is expected to be relaxed. There are
[00:21:23] 1.05 million people estimated.
[00:21:27] South Korea's medical aesthetic industry has become popular globally. Last year alone,
[00:21:31] the number of foreign visitors for medical aesthetics exceeded 2 million.
[00:21:34] Among them, Taiwanese people spent nearly
[00:21:38] 600 million USD on medical expenses in Korea by July
[00:21:42] of this year. What is the charm of Korean medical aesthetics? Experts
[00:21:45] pointed out that the key is the price, which is at least 40%
[00:21:49] cheaper than in Taiwan.
[00:23:20] Reminding consumers about post-treatment medical disputes. Encountering problems is more troublesome
[00:23:24] than in one's own country. One should do their research first and not just be attracted by pretty prices.
[00:23:28] Risks also need to be assessed. Reporter Chen Shicao Wenlin, Taipei reported. Nepal
[00:23:31] and the Tibetan border, due to
[00:23:35] glacial collapse, triggered devastating floods and mudslides.
[00:23:38] The rescue work entered its sixth day. Currently, at least
[00:23:42] 919 people have died, and 4793
[00:23:46] people are missing. However, there is a green house that
[00:23:50] stood firm in the mudslide, and a family of five
[00:23:54] all survived. The mother recently gave an interview, saying that the key to
[00:23:58] their miraculous survival was two hours. In addition, netizens also found out that
[00:24:01] the Gyirong Port in Tibet successfully resisted an 8.1 magnitude
[00:24:05] earthquake 11 years ago, but now it can't withstand the flood and was
[00:24:09] flattened to the ground.
[00:24:10] 。
[00:24:13] The surging floodwaters carried a large amount of mud and rocks, leaving only the green house standing in the flood. The family bravely huddled on the balcony, believing that the house could withstand the impact.
[00:24:17] The entire family.
[00:25:20] In 2015,
[00:25:20] Nepal experienced an 8.1 magnitude earthquake, and the building 65 kilometers away was able to withstand the red flow this time.
[00:25:29] This flat platform in front
[00:25:33] is the exact location of Jilong Port. The port is 60 meters wide and as tall as a 20-story building. A traveler took a video in front of Jilong Port, but unexpectedly, the entire port was worried that day.
[00:26:03] parents, university campus, you can see parents carrying mattresses, dragging luggage
[00:26:07] to send their children to the dormitory, and there are even exaggerated scenes
[00:26:11] of a whole family of 15 people coming to send their children to school. What makes many
[00:26:14] parents emotional is that more than 20 years ago, they were the children
[00:26:18] who were sent to school by their parents. Today, the roles are reversed.
[00:26:22] They stand at the school gate, reluctant to let their children leave their side.
[00:26:26] And it's not just Asian parents who are like this; European and American parents
[00:26:29] are even more like movers. Dad is carrying a super big bed and dragging a bunch of bags. Is it a new student's first day of school or a whole family's first day of school? Look around the campus and you'll see more parents than students. Dad not only brought luggage but also a bed, paying attention to every detail, fearing that his child would not live comfortably. Some even had a family of 15 people sending their child to school.
[00:26:53] Our sending group arrived, there were 15 of us.
[00:27:02] My dad.
[00:28:34] the student who was sent home by mistake. Folk experts believe that eating food offered to "good brothers"
[00:28:38] may bring bad luck. This restaurant, Haiba
[00:28:41] Wang, specializes in Taiwanese cuisine and boasts fresh ingredients. However, a family
[00:28:45] went to the Taipei Qi Jian branch on August 29th to celebrate their father's
[00:28:49] Father's Day. Unexpectedly, after waiting for an hour, a pot of chicken soup was finally served. When they flipped
[00:28:53] the chicken, they found strange red dots, which meant it was a "three-sacrifice chicken"
[00:28:57] that had been offered incense during the ghost festival. The public was furious, blasting that they spent money to eat a Father's
[00:29:00] Day feast, not to be "good brothers" eating ghost festival chicken. Netizens commented,
[00:29:04] "How exaggerated! They offered it to ghosts and then sold it to people. This is not a matter of perception;
[00:29:08] it's already a matter of food safety. It was clearly to celebrate Father's
[00:29:12] Day, but they ended up helping their father to pass away." It was disrespectful to gods and ancestors.
[00:29:16] The public, unknowingly, would bring bad luck. In folklore,
[00:29:20] it is considered to have negative energy and a complex magnetic field. At the first
[00:29:24] moment, they were still rushing to take the whole pot away, even claiming it was the fault of the religious staff. They
[00:29:28] also questioned why the chicken offered on Thursday, August 27th, appeared on
[00:29:31] August 29th.
[00:30:32] Both sides have their own stories, but the incident at the restaurant, coupled with the spread of rumors,
[00:30:36] made all other diners watch.
[00:30:38] 。
[00:30:41] The car brand has long been concerned with the development of Taiwanese image creation,
[00:30:45] and has continuously held competitions since 2015.
[00:30:48] Starting in 2024, it has also transformed into a short video exhibition,
[00:30:52] with the number of submissions reaching new highs every year. This year, there were
[00:30:55] a total of 2,721 submissions, encouraging creators to see the
[00:30:59] world and explore.
