[00:00:30] And President Lai Ching-te also personally attended the demonstration, and this is also the first time that the
[00:00:34] Naval Fleet Command has participated in the
[00:00:37] annual live-fire exercise since its official establishment on July 1st.
[00:00:41] We will immediately connect to reporter Hsiao Ping-yi for the latest situation at the scene.
[00:00:45] Okay, today's Han Kuang exercise. So , President Lai Ching-te
[00:00:49] this morning went to the
[00:00:53] Zuoying military port to conduct relevant guidance. And today's main exercise subject
[00:00:56] is the defense of the port.
[00:01:30] Now, through this fleet, they are using relevant
[00:01:33] equipment and
[00:01:37] sturdy drones and offensive drones to conduct this relevant
[00:01:41] exercise. And just a short while ago, the President also boarded this domestic fast
[00:01:45] boat, and also broadcast to these officers and soldiers
[00:01:48] to speak.
[00:01:49] Hello everyone, I am President
[00:01:56] Lai Ching-te.
[00:02:00] At this moment, I am on a missile fast boat.
[00:02:03] You have received orders to depart from the port and
[00:02:07] perform the sea strike mission. The purpose of the Han Kuang
[00:02:11] exercise is to test the command and coordination,
[00:02:15] combat readiness, and territorial defense capabilities
[00:02:19] through live ammunition, on-site, and actual equipment.
[00:02:22] I wish you all a successful mission. You have all worked hard.
[00:02:26] Thank you all. The President also specifically emphasized this.
[00:04:00] In addition, there are 105榴彈砲 (howitzer), rifles, missiles, etc., to deploy a dense
[00:04:04] network to cover armored vehicles. The Kinmen Defense Command aims at actual
[00:04:07] combat training, adopting the method of real people, real objects, real time, real location,
[00:04:11] real situation, and real combat, and simultaneously simulating enemy landing operations.
[00:04:15] According to the requirements of the comprehensive training to react to sudden changes,
[00:04:19] both officers and soldiers can be familiar with the command procedures for dividing and fighting.
[00:04:23] Unexpectedly, it was discovered that the honest woman in the back seat was actually a fugitive wanted by the court, and when she was being questioned, this honest woman
[00:04:38] kept impersonating her sister
[00:04:42] in an attempt to get away with it, but in the end she was
[00:04:46] exposed by the police and arrested according to law.
[00:04:48] Okay,
[00:04:52] anchors and audience, you can see the honest woman in white in the picture being stopped
[00:04:56] and questioned by the police. She not only said she didn't have her ID, but also faced the police's questions.
[00:07:48] The incident caused a total of three injuries, including both parties and a passenger. Fortunately, none of them were seriously injured after being sent to the hospital. However, the details of the incident still need to be investigated by the police. Li Qin.
[00:07:50] Also,
[00:07:53] a serious car accident happened in Qianzhen District, Kaohsiung last night. A driver surnamed
[00:07:57] Guo, driving a Tesla, suddenly lost control and crashed
[00:08:00] near Guanghua Night Market. Not only were 12
[00:08:04] motorcycles and bicycles damaged,
[00:08:08] but also a utility pole and a transformer box were damaged, causing
[00:08:12] the surrounding area to experience a power outage for a while. After arriving at the scene, the preliminary confirmation was that not only two riders were injured, but one person was also crushed by the transformer box.
[00:08:23] As for the reason for the accident, it should be a mechanical failure of the car that caused the crash.
[00:08:28] However, the detailed cause of the accident still needs further investigation by the police.
[00:08:34] The four vehicles were severely damaged, and a whole row of them were piled up together. The scene was a mess, and the impact force must have been considerable.
[00:08:42] The accident happened near Guanghua Night Market in Kaohsiung.
[00:08:46] According to the police, around 7 p.m.,
[00:08:50] a driver surnamed Guo, driving a Tesla, suddenly lost control and crashed at the intersection of Guanghua 1st Road and Sanduo 2nd
[00:08:54] Road.
[00:08:56] In total,
[00:09:01] the accident involved motorcycles, cars, and bicycles, a total of
[00:09:04] 12 vehicles, and caused three injuries.
[00:09:07] But the police also conducted
[00:09:45] a breathalyzer test and drug test on him.
[00:10:58] When the police arrived, they smelled a strong alcoholic odor on the driver. After checking his identity, he was confirmed to be Deputy Director Wu of the Hualien Ji'an Township Office.
[00:11:02] Did you drink? What time
[00:11:04] was it last night?
[00:11:09] He admitted to drinking the night before, but by the time of the incident,
[00:11:12] it was already 10 A.M. the next day, and his alcohol concentration
[00:11:16] was still
[00:11:18] detectable.
[00:11:25] However, this is not the first time he has been caught for drunk driving.
[00:11:28] In June 2017, he drank two bottles near Hualien Railway Station, and his alcohol concentration
[00:11:32] reached 0.89 after driving, and he was prosecuted.
[00:11:36] He was eventually sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay 50,000 yuan to the public treasury. Unexpectedly,
[00:11:39] this time he didn't learn his lesson and drove after drinking again, injuring an innocent
[00:11:43] female rider. He is the deputy director of the Mayor's Office, and he is also his representative. As far as I know,
[00:11:47] this is not the first time he has driven under the influence.
[00:11:51] In this incident.
[00:12:25] The group photo was posted on social media with the caption "accidentally touched it," which ignited public anger. This year's
[00:12:28] election campaign is in full swing, and they are trying to
[00:12:32] boost their election prospects. Reporter Hualien Zonghe reports.
[00:12:35] Last night, a man and his friends went to a
[00:12:39] restaurant in Xinzhuang, New Taipei City to dine.
[00:12:43] After drinking, he casually threw the empty snail shells
[00:12:47] onto the table next to him, which angered a man, and the two sides
[00:12:51] then erupted in a physical altercation.
[00:12:56] The police received a report that a physical altercation had occurred at a restaurant and arrived to investigate.
[00:13:10] A 48-year-old man and a friend went to a restaurant in Xinzhuang District, New Taipei City,
[00:13:14] to dine. After drinking, he threw the empty snail shells onto the
[00:13:17] table next to him, which angered a 37-year-old man. As a result, the two sides
[00:13:21] started arguing. But the result was that the argument became more and more heated.
[00:18:37] Our team reported the typhoon path observed over the past
[00:18:41] few hours. The typhoon has gradually weakened
[00:18:44] and slowed down. However, the outer circulation will affect
[00:18:48] Taipei City from today until tomorrow.
[00:18:51] There may be heavy rain and strong winds in the mountainous areas. So we still
[00:18:55] cannot take this lightly. Therefore, this morning, I came to the EOC to listen
[00:18:59] to the preparations made by various departments for typhoon prevention. We still need to be cautious
[00:19:02] and thorough.
[00:19:05] As for the food safety aspect, it was also reported.
[00:19:39] A total of 218 bottles. Among them, 6 bottles were sold to the Keelung Farmers' Association
[00:19:43] and 94 bottles to individual customers. The remaining 100+ bottles have all been
[00:19:46] removed from shelves and sealed. The health bureau has also
[00:19:50] ordered the business to suspend operations and stop selling related
[00:19:54] bitter tea oil products.
[00:19:56] Okay, let's continue with the topic of party politics. For the 2026 Taipei mayoral election,
[00:20:00] the Democratic Progressive Party candidate Chen Po-yang went to
[00:20:04] the market in Daan District this morning to campaign.
[00:20:37] If the entire Democratic Progressive Party is promoting former Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung,
[00:20:41] why not let Chen Shih-chung run for Taipei Mayor again? Chen Po-yang has the latest response to this.
[00:20:45] But please note. In the 2022 election,
[00:20:49] it became that
[00:21:20] some people don't need to be responsible. And the result is that his
[00:21:24] opponent Chen Po-yang has to withdraw
[00:21:25] from the election.
[00:21:28] This logic is a bit strange, isn't it?
[00:21:45] He thinks this whole thing is very strange. He also said that
[00:21:48] in 2022, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an was slandering Chen
[00:21:52] Shih-chung. Therefore, Chen Po-yang also asked Chiang Wan-an if he agreed with Yang Zhi-dao's
[00:21:56] statement?
[00:21:57] Candidate Su Zhi-rong recently
[00:22:04] released a video. In the video,
[00:22:07] he stood alone at an intersection holding a sign to campaign.
[00:22:11] The campaign team that was supposed to be with him was collectively absent,
[00:22:15] leaving only him waving his hand vigorously at the scene,
[00:22:19] like
[00:23:53] The Ministry of Finance announced that July exports were 75.3 billion US dollars.
[00:24:07] Exports in the first few months totaled 491.95 billion
[00:24:10] US dollars, setting a new high for the same period in previous years, with an annual increase of
[00:24:14] over 40%. The second half of the year will usher in the traditional peak season. With the AI
[00:24:17] wave, it is expected to be even better. Investing in AI international products, as well as the shortage in the electronics industry, drives prices.
[00:24:40] The AI business opportunity is also optimistic that monthly exports will exceed 70 billion US dollars in the second half of the year.
[00:24:46] Above is the latest from the scene. Internationally, the US
[00:24:50] non-farm payrolls in July unexpectedly decreased, reducing the necessity
[00:24:54] for the Fed to raise interest rates in September. This also led to a rise in US stocks on Friday.
[00:24:57] The S&P 500 index hit a new high, and achieved its best
[00:25:01] performance since April with a weekly increase of 3.6%.
[00:25:05] It unexpectedly decreased by
[00:25:09] 23,000 people, far less than the market's expected
[00:25:13] increase of 83,000 people. The unemployment rate also fell to
[00:25:17] 4.1%, lower than economists' forecasts.
[00:27:32] and they said, please don't do it, let's talk, and then they don't, they say,
[00:27:35] we never said that, you know what, the
[00:27:39] fake news knows they did say that, but we are talking, let's see what happens, but
[00:27:43] they respect us.
[00:27:44] Trump said he hoped to have an opportunity to show.
[00:27:47] I want to give him every last chance before
[00:27:49] decapitation.
[00:27:52] Very tough to do what, what we have planned,
[00:27:55] still planned. We'll see what happens.
[00:27:57] US National Highway.
[00:28:32] right now we don't have anything on the books when it comes to direct talks, of course,
[00:28:36] we are doing our job as mediators along with oman and the
[00:28:40] other mediators and everybody in in the region in
[00:28:43] exchanging ideas between parties. So, the US
[00:30:02] military's anti-aircraft missile inventory is running low. The Patriot missile inventory for low-altitude defense
[00:30:06] is only half of what it was before the war. The THAAD system, which is responsible for high-altitude interception,
[00:30:10] has been depleted by 5/4. if it's true that we're down
[00:30:13] 80%, we will be unable
[00:30:16] to fully help our allies in the gulf,
[00:30:20] the arab countries and Israel defend themselves
[00:30:23] .
