Netherlands Hals Paintings Returned A pair of paintings by Dutch Golden Age master Frans Hals, possibly depicting his own children, are returning to the Netherlands after more than a century overseas in the hands of private owners. “Boy Playing the Violin” and “Girl Singing,” were bought at auction Monday for $7.8 million by the Frans Hals Museum and the Mauritshuis museum, with financial support from the Dutch government and a group of foundations. Painted around 1628, the works are seen as an important part of the country's cultural heritage (遺產) and as especially interesting because Hals may have used his own children as models. The museums will alternate showing the works, but will always keep the two together. That was the I.C.R.T.

Cheng says the education ministry has been working on finallizing the guidelines since March and has held talks with experts, officials, civil society groups and educators as to how best to carry out the policy. The education minister says the move is due to what he's describing as "endemic gadget use on campuses." The new rules will apply to classrooms at elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools. However, the education minister say there will be some exceptions to the rules, especially in situations where the policy cannot be fully implemented. Israeli Strikes Kill 70 in Gaza Hospitals and health officials say Israeli airstrikes have pounded northern and southern Gaza and killed at least 70 people.

Mitch McCann reports: Brazil Supreme Court Order on Illegal Seizing of Land A justice on Brazil's Supreme Court has ordered the federal government to seize private properties when owners are found responsible for illegal wildfires or deforestation. In addition, authorities must seek compensation from landowners responsible for illegal and intentional (故意的) destruction. The ruling also directed the government to block regularization, a process by which illegally-acquired land becomes legal. The expectation of regularization has been one of the main drivers of deforestation in the Amazon. Land-grabbers clear land in the hope that it will eventually be titled thanks to lax land laws or government amnesties. The court's decision could be appealed. That was the I.C.R.T.

Cabinet delays release of NT$88 billion US tariff support package details The Cabinet has postponed the release of details of its planned 88-billion N-T support package aimed at mitigating (緩解) the impact of higher U-S tariffs.

Taiwan stocks finished up 9.25 percent Thursday, surging more than 1,600 points at the market's opening after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on his steep "reciprocal" tariffs on most countries.

Taiwan and Cambodia in talks over sending of 179 fraud suspects to China Criminal Investigation Bureau says Taiwan is continuing talks with Cambodia to prevent 179 Taiwan fraud suspects from being deported to China.

The statement comes after media reports out of Cambodia haven suggesting that the Taiwan suspects were to be handed over to China as a goodwill (善意) gesture to Beijing.

According to the report, China is actively recruiting retired miltary personnel and using them to approach active members, recruiting through the internet, enticing (引誘) them with payments, and targeting indebted service members.

Argentina Reaches IMF Deal for Bailout The International Monetary Fund says it's reached a preliminary agreement with cash-strapped Argentina on a $20 billion bailout package. The IMF says the loan is a 48-month arrangement, and "builds on the authorities' impressive early progress in stabilizing the economy”. As a staff-level agreement, the deal announced Tuesday still requires final approval from the IMF's executive board. The deal delivers a lifeline to President Javier Milei, who has slashed inflation and stabilized the economy after years of turmoil with a harsh austerity program. But without cash from the international lender, he has been unable to rebuild the scarce (幾乎沒有，稀有的) foreign exchange reserves he inherited, which he needs to repay debts and lift Argentina's strict currency controls.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 167-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,093 on turnover of 5.4-billion N-T. The market closed little changed on Wednesday, as many investors opted to stay on the sidelines amid lingering concerns over tariff threats from the Trump administration. The slump came after tech stocks took hit on Wall Street overnight - as the Nasdaq lost 2-per cent. Turnover stood at 214-billion N-T and market watchers say the low turnover was evidence that investors are reluctant to chase prices for now before the White House announces its reciprocal tariff policy - which is expected by April 2. Analysts say the local main board is expected to continue to move in a narrow range at around the 240-day moving average of 22,330 points before those reciprocal tariff actions are launched. Four former-servicemen found guilty of selling documents to China operative The Taipei District Court has sentenced four former military personnel to prison terms after finding them guilty of selling documents to a middleman for the Chinese intelligence services.

The four were convicted for breaching (違反) national security laws and accepting bribes and given sentences of between five and seven years. The sentences can be appealed. Academics slam Lai's populism, freedom of speech erosion Some 75 academics are accusing President Lai Ching-te of using populism to rally supporters, leading to the rapid erosion of free speech in Taiwan .. .. and have all co-signed a statement titled "Defending Taiwan's Democracy, Rule of Law, and Peace." They're calling on the government to the government to halt its actions and avoid (避免) further harming Taiwan's democracy and rule of law for the sake of short-term political gain. They're also arguing that "in order to defend" Taiwan's "democracy, rule of law, peace and security," the government should "adhere to the constitutional system and take immediate and effective measures to improve cross-strait relations." NKorea Kim Observes Drone Tests North Korea says leader Kim Jong Un observed tests of newly developed reconnaissance and attack drones this week and called for their increased production. Photos released by state media Thursday showed Kim observing what appeared to be a large reconnaissance (偵察) drone roughly resembling Boeing's E-7 Wedgetail airborne warning and control aircraft. Other images showed exploding drones crashing into targets. The report said the exploding drones feature unspecified artificial intelligence capabilities. State media said Kim expressed satisfaction with the drones' performance and approved plans to expand production, emphasizing that drones and AI should be top priorities in efforts to advance his military and adapt it to modern warfare. Trump 25Percent Tariffs on Auto Imports Donald Trump has announced a 25% tariff on all automobiles imported into the United States.

Ex-captain charged with corruption sent back to Taiwan A former army captain charged with corruption has been repatriated in a joint mission by Taiwanese and Filipino authorities. According to the Ministry of Justice's Investigation Bureau, Lee Chen-yu was detained in the Philippines for over a year after he was arrested by Filipino authorities in Cebu in February 2024 based on information from Taiwan that he was a fugitive. The bureau says Filipino authorities refused to deport Lee to Taiwan, because they mistook him for another fugitive (逃犯) with the same name and needed to investigate whether he was involved in other cases.

SKorea Overturns PM Impeachment South Korea's Constitutional Court overturned parliament's impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, reinstating him as acting president. Han, South Korea's No. 2 official, had become acting leader after President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached by the opposition-controlled National Assembly over his Dec. 3 imposition (實施) of martial law that triggered a massive political crisis. But Han was impeached by the assembly as well in late December following political strife with opposition lawmakers. The Constitutional Court says today it has decided to overturn Han's impeachment. The court has yet to issue a ruling on Yoon's impeachment. Yoon has been separately arrested and charged with rebellion in connection with his martial law decree. If convicted of that charge, he would face the death penalty or a life sentence. And if the court rules against him, South Korea must hold a national election to find a new president.
