[00:00:30] Xian Fan said that he didn't know the owner of the shop, and that there was no previous animosity between them.
[00:00:33] He just wasn't in a good mood. The man in white was swaggering
[00:00:37] in front of the claw machine shop, holding a huge machete
[00:00:41] and swinging it constantly. First, he angrily slashed the ceiling,
[00:00:45] then he turned his target to a nearby toy bin. He swung the machete
[00:00:49] forcefully, and the toy bin shattered, scattering things everywhere.
[00:00:52] But that wasn't the end of it. The man
[00:00:56] wandered around and immediately targeted the surveillance camera, continuously hitting it.
[00:01:30] Within three hours, he quickly identified Zhang Xinfan's identity,
[00:01:34] and searched his residence, where he found the weapons used in the crime.
[00:01:37] The incident occurred near a famous nightlife district, which is usually crowded.
[00:01:41] However, the man lost control and damaged the shop with a knife.
[00:01:45] Fortunately, no one was injured, but the shocking incident still
[00:01:49] frightened nearby shop owners and residents.
[00:01:52] In An-ding District, Tainan, a car ran a red light and crashed
[00:01:56] into another car, causing it to rebound. In Xinpu,
[00:03:31] a car almost got hit. On Provincial Highway 6, northbound, a blue car lost control and
[00:03:34] crashed into a silver car. From another angle, the blue car
[00:03:38] came speeding from behind, violently hitting the rear of the car, which then spun out of control.
[00:03:42] The scene was instantly disorienting. At
[00:03:46] that time, the car that was hit then crashed into the guardrail on the outer lane, and the entire car
[00:03:49] bounced up. A similar dangerous scene also happened on Shanying Road in Taoyuan.
[00:03:53] A dark electric car veered to the right and squeezed into the median strip,
[00:03:57] hitting a traffic pole before stopping. The pole was uprooted.
[00:06:42] Affected by the continuous strengthening of the low-pressure system, southern Taiwan
[00:06:46] experienced heavy rain for several days. A kindergarten in Gushan, Kaohsiung,
[00:06:49] suspended classes.
[00:06:53] In Fangshan, Pingtung, a flatbed truck crashed into a median strip, causing
[00:06:57] a power outage for the entire village, and blocking roads, which were then sealed off.
[00:07:01] For more details, let's turn to reporter Jenning. Okay, anchor, as you can see from the screen,
[00:07:04] the overnight rainstorm was intense, turning everything white. The road gradually accumulated
[00:07:08] puddles, and cars driving through splashed up huge amounts of water.
[00:07:12] Due to the widespread low-pressure belt and the continuous strengthening of the southwest monsoon,
[00:07:16] Kaohsiung City experienced continuous rain overnight. A kindergarten in Gushan District announced the suspension of classes.
[00:07:20] In Chunri Township, Pingtung County, Shiwen Village, and Manzhou Township's Changle Village, due to continuous heavy rain,
[00:07:24] landslides occurred, and preventive measures were implemented to suspend classes and close roads.
[00:07:28] Also, tropical depression T of Typhoon Sarika is currently located
[00:07:32] near Hainan Island, and there is a chance it could strengthen into a tropical storm again. It is expected to move
[00:07:35] northeastward, and there is a possibility that a sea typhoon warning will be issued tonight.
[00:07:39] Additionally, in Fangshan, Pingtung, the
[00:08:14] unconscious passenger was taken to the hospital for treatment. That's all the information we have for now, anchor. In Sanxia, New Taipei City,
[00:08:17] two women got into a fight on a bus, pulling each other's hair
[00:08:21] and hitting each other's faces with their bags. It turned out
[00:08:25] that one of them was upset that the other's handbag touched her leg, which escalated into a heated
[00:08:29] argument and a fight. Meanwhile, in Beitun District, Taichung,
[00:08:32] a 75-year-old man drove without a license and scraped a
[00:08:36] motorcycle parked on the side of the road. He wanted to offer money to settle the matter privately, but was stopped
[00:08:40] by passers-by. The old man angrily said, "I'm rich."
[00:10:12] The woman fell out onto the ground and rolled half
[00:10:16] a turn on the road, scaring the driver behind who honked frantically and slammed on the brakes.
[00:10:19] Meanwhile, in this taxi, two passengers
[00:10:23] were arguing. The male passenger in the back not only punched the female driver,
[00:10:27] but also threw a wad of cash directly at the driver's face, which was
[00:10:31] very shocking.
[00:10:34] This unbelievable scene unfolded in front of our eyes: the traffic light turned green and the car in front turned a corner. A woman
[00:10:37] was suddenly thrown out. After opening the car door, she put her two feet out and fell to the ground,
[00:10:41] rolling half a turn on the ground. The driver of the car behind honked frantically, almost hitting
[00:10:45] her. The woman struggled to get up after falling, looking
[00:10:49] quite pained. She walked step by step to the side of the road. This bizarre scene happened in
[00:10:53] Taipei City's Linkou District. The driver was stunned. He said, "Are they playing GTA?"
[00:10:57] Netizens also said that someone jumping out of a car is reckless driving. Could it be
[00:11:00] that she was pushed out of the car after an argument?
[00:11:15] The man's fierce punch made a huge noise that startled the front-seat passenger. He hit someone
[00:11:18] and smashed the seats inside the car. But the out-of-control scene
[00:11:22] wasn't over yet.
[00:13:55] From rent subsidies, social housing vacancies to new campus housing,
[00:13:58] 8.3 billion was spent.
[00:14:02] But I have doubts. If you don't thank the DPP's policies and Wu Si, do you deserve
[00:14:06] to be attacked by the Bluebirds and cursed to death? All of this policy-making is for the public, and the boss says thank you.
[00:14:10] You enjoy the benefits of both sides.
[00:14:14] Should we thank Ma Ying-jeou? We must kneel down and shout "Long live the DPP!"
[00:14:18] It's
[00:16:59] only allowed for me to accuse you, not for you to doubt me.
[00:17:00] Among
[00:18:20] these, military investment increased by 97.5 billion this year,
[00:18:24] promoting multiple procurement plans, including the purchase of
[00:18:28] over 7,000 civilian heavy-duty trucks of various types,
[00:18:32] as well as off-road vehicles and so on. The election
[00:18:35] is approaching, the Financial Times
[00:19:37] also doesn't know how much money was spent at that time.
[00:20:08] Look at Beijing. In the 2008 presidential election, Su Tseng-chang was predicted to win overwhelmingly.
[00:20:11] With a 200,000 vote landslide, he also heavily criticized
[00:20:14] China's development of space industry, saying it would challenge American space hegemony.
[00:20:18] He even wrote unverified fake news, accusing the Central News Agency reporter
[00:20:22] of disclosing that the Taiwan Affairs Office called daily to dictate editorial instructions,
[00:20:26] and was sued in court.
[00:20:27] Especially
[00:20:30] with this person, they are particularly close.
[00:20:32] And with President Tsai Ing-wen, there's no need to mention it. The
[00:20:36] former minister of the Department of Health, and current Central Research Fellow,
[00:21:21] Dr. Huang Yan-nan, directly stated that
[00:21:25] for Taiwan to develop sovereign AI, it must
[00:21:29] seriously address the two major issues of computing power and electricity.
[00:21:32] The investment in the ten major AI construction projects should also be increased.
[00:21:36] Taipei City Mayor Chiang Wan-an was seen
[00:21:39] at a sheltered workshop, donating 300,000 NT dollars to express his support,
[00:21:43] but he was criticized by his opponent, Shen Po-yang, who said that he should have
[00:21:47] abolished the state affairs expenses.
[00:22:06] Or did he simply not take Shen Po-yang seriously? The nine-in-one election opened for registration on August
[00:22:09] 31st and closed on September 4th. The DPP's Taipei mayoral candidate, Shen Po-yang,
[00:22:13] campaigned in Nangang early in the morning. He hadn't seen the rumored Yang Liu yet, but he announced
[00:22:17] that he would bring young candidates to register. The campaign office said the chairman of the general election campaign committee
[00:22:21] would be a mysterious guest.
[00:22:22] But
[00:22:28] the day before registration began, he was photographed by netizens at a sheltered workshop.
[00:22:31] He
[00:22:39] was criticized by the government for affecting the mooncake orders of sheltered workshops. Now, Chiang Wan-an is using action to support sheltered workshops.
[00:22:43] However, Shen Po-yang criticized him from afar, believing that Chiang should have abolished the
[00:22:47] budget for state affairs expenses. But netizens are confused about what the state affairs expenses are.
[00:27:17] In
[00:27:22] Hukou, Hsinchu, a 48-year-old man named Zhang
[00:27:26] stole
[00:27:28] 16,500 NT dollars in cash. After the owner found out,
[00:27:32] he immediately chased him to the train station, and with the help of the public, successfully subdued
[00:27:36] the suspect. When the police arrived, they recovered the stolen money on the spot.
[00:27:40] The man, wearing a hat, entered the store stealthily,
[00:27:44] rummaged through the counter, and then targeted a wallet, picked it up, and
[00:27:47] put it into his backpack. Then, he casually took an item from the table
[00:27:51] and left as if nothing happened. The owner noticed something was wrong and immediately went after him.
[00:27:55] The
[00:29:03] beautiful scenery of Tamsui. However, we can see that currently in the Tamsui area,
[00:29:07] the cloud cover is quite heavy. There are even occasional light
[00:29:11] drizzles. Today, mainly due to the influence of low pressure
[00:29:14] and the southwest wind, the weather in the northern part is unstable,
[00:29:18] with intermittent localized rain or thunderstorms. Moreover, the
[00:29:22] rain may suddenly intensify. Therefore, we remind everyone to
[00:29:26] prepare for rain when going out today. Next, looking at the satellite image, today
[00:29:30] continues to be affected by the low-pressure belt. Other areas will also have localized short showers, and then the rain will be more obvious in the mountains. By the fourth, it will still be affected by the tropical depression. We can see that in the western part of Taiwan, there is a high chance of rain and possibly heavy rain.
[00:30:50] So, by the weekend, the low pressure will still cause some short showers in various places, and the weather will only improve slightly by Sunday.
