Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 107-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,362 on turnover of 5.1-billion N-T. The market closed higher on Wednesday, as it broke through stiff technical resistance ahead of the 240-day moving average of 22,300 points. That came on the back of extended gains for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and amid investor optimism over US-China trade talks. Ma Ying-jeou to attend Straits Forum in China Former President Ma Ying-jeou is slated to attend the 17th Straits Forum in the Chinese city of Xiamen early next week. According to the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation, he will be leading a group of students from the Da Jiu Academy to the event as part of a two-week trip to China. Foundation C-E-O Xiao Xu-cen says after attending (出席) the forum, Ma and the students will travel to Gansu Province for a series of cultural activities and to learn about the Silk Road. Xiao says the visit is aimed at reducing hostility (敵意) across the Taiwan Strait by showing people on both sides the willingness of young people to engage and interact with each other. New tropical depression forms near Philippines The Central Weather Administration says it's monitoring a tropical depression that formed yesterday evening east of the Philippines. It's currently located some 500-kilometers southeast of Eluanbi at the island's southernmost tip and moving in a north-northwesterly direction at 33-kilometers-an-hour. The weather administration says the weather pattern is moving towards Taiwan. It's forecast to bring thunderstorms or heavy rain to much of the island. SAfrica Flooding Leaves Dozens Dead A weather front brings rain, snow, and now deadly flooding to South Africa. The AP's Jennifer King reports. Kosovo US Agreement to Accept Migrants Kosovo says it has agreed to a request from the United States to temporarily accept up to 50 third-country migrants a year. The Balkan country's government said “over the course of a year, up to fifty individuals may be temporarily relocated, with the aim of facilitating (促進) their safe return to their home country." Immediately upon returning to office in January, President Donald Trump started plans for mass deportation to make good on campaign promises to crack down on illegal immigration. It was not clear when Washington made the request or whether it made similar (相似的) requests to other countries in the region. Japan Princess Visits Brazil Japan's Princess Kako of Akishino, a niece of Emperor Naruhito, was welcomed by Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at a private ceremony. The younger daughter of Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko is at the tail end of her 11-day trip to the South American nation. The princess also spoke before lawmakers at Congress, and thanked Brazilians for hosting (當宿主) Japanese immigants for more than a century. Her trip also marks the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. That was the I.C.R.T.

Le président brésilien Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva a effectué une visite d'Etat ce jeudi à Paris. Entre cérémonie aux Invalides, déjeuner de travail à l'Elysée et dîner d'Etat dans la soirée, le président brésilien a été reçu en grande pompe par Emmanuel Macron. L'occasion d'évoquer leurs désaccords dans divers dossiers. Entre les deux hommes, les relations personnelles sont bonnes, mais les positions ne sont pas toujours alignées, notamment sur le Mercosur et l'Ukraine.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 214-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,341 on turnover of 5.5-billion N-T. The main board gained ground on Tuesday despite large-cap semiconductor stocks losing some early gains amid ongoing investor concerns over the U-S' tariff policies. Market watchers say although the index staged a technical rebound from Monday's downturn, investors remain cautious about the U-S introducing possible tariffs on semiconductors. Guatemala president to be in Taiwan Wednesday before heading to Japan Guatemala's President Bernardo Arevalo is visiting Taiwan today. It is his first visit to Taiwan since taking office in 2024 and the trip is part of an Asian tour that will also take him to Japan. Arevalo has said the trip to Taiwan is aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and attracting foreign investment, and he will be meeting with President Lai Ching-te. The Guatemalan president is being accompanied (陪伴) during his visit by the country's economics and foreign ministers as well as his wife. Digital ministry to order social media firms to publish transparency reports Digital Minister Huang Yen-nan says Meta, LINE, TikTok and Google will be required to publish transparency (透明性，公開處理) reports before the end of the year as part of government-led efforts to combat fraud. According to Huang, the move means the four companies will be subject to formal regulatory supervision. Huang says the companies submitted fraud prevention plans in May. The transparency reports are part of the Fraud Crime Hazard Prevention Act, which took effect at the end of July of last year. It means that social media companies must verify the identities of advertisers and sponsors, create fraud prevention plans, and remove any fraudulent advertisements within a set timeframe after receiving a notification from authorities. Family of flamethrower attack suspect detained The family of the man accused of carrying out an "antisemitic attack" with a makeshift (暫時代替，臨時湊合) flamethrower in the US state of Colorado has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem confirmed the news on Tuesday. Nick Harper reports from Washington. Brazil Affirmative Action Law Signed Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has signed a new law to expand the country's affirmative action policies. The law signed on Tuesday increases the quota for government jobs reserved for Blacks from 20% to 30% and adds Indigenous people and descendants of Afro-Brazilian enslaved people to the group of beneficiaries. The changes apply to permanent (長久的，永久的) and public employment positions across Brazil's federal administration, agencies, public foundations, public companies and mixed-capital companies run by the government. As approved by Congress, the quota will be revised in 2035. Brazil's government said 55% of the country's population is made up of Black or mixed-race people. It added that more than 70% of Brazilians living below the poverty line are also Black or mixed race, while only 1% of people from those ethnicities are in leadership positions in the private sector.

C dans l'air du 8 mai 2025 : L'Amérique va-t-elle lâcher l'Ukraine ?Moscou se barricade. À la veille de la traditionnelle célébration du 9 mai sur la place rouge, un dispositif de sécurité XXL a été mis en place par le Kremlin, qui craint des attaques de drones ukrainiens. Vingt-neuf dirigeants étrangers, dont le chinois Xi Jinping et le brésilien Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, seront en tout cas parmi les invités. Vendredi s'annonce donc comme une grande démonstration de force militaire et diplomatique pour Poutine.Mais la situation en Ukraine patine, de l'aveu même des Américains qui voient s'éloigner la possibilité d'un accord de paix rapide. Le vice-président J.D Vance a exprimé ses inquiétudes concernant les exigences russes, donnant de fait raison à Volodymyr Zelensky. La crainte, à présent, est que la Maison Blanche lâche le dossier russo-ukrainien. Qu'en serait-il alors de son soutien militaire à l'Ukraine ?Pendant ce temps, Poutine est en pleine séquence de communication et de propagande. Pour acquérir le peuple à sa cause, se montrer plus proche de lui, et justifier cette guerre, il a récemment dévoilé son appartement privé à la télévision. Les chefs d'Etats invités demain seront aussi l'occasion pour lui de casser toute image d'isolement sur la scène internationale. Pendant ce temps, l'armée française s'inquiète des agissements russes dans l'espace. Entre attaques de satellites et hacking de communication, elle se prépare à toutes les possibilités pour se défendre. Alors, l'Amérique va-t-elle lâché le dossier ukrainien ? Quels sont les enjeux de la célébration de demain pour Poutine ? Faut-il redouter une guerre spatiale avec la Russie ?LES EXPERTS : Général Patrick DUTARTRE - Général de l'armée de l'Air et de l'Espace, ancien pilote de chasse Régis GENTE - Journaliste, correspondant dans l'ancien espace soviétique pour RFI, auteur de « Notre homme à Washington.

Pogreb papeža Frančiška, ki je včeraj umrl za možgansko kapjo, bo v soboto ob 10-ih. Jutri bodo krsto z njegovimi posmrtnimi ostanki iz Doma svete Marte, kjer je prebival in kjer je tudi umrl, prepeljali v baziliko svetega Petra, kjer bo do pogreba. Frančiška bodo na njegovo željo pokopali v rimski baziliki Marije Snežne. Udeležbo na papeževem pogrebu so med drugimi potrdili ameriški, francoski, ukrajinski in brazilski predsednik Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Volodimir Zelenski in Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, pa tudi predsednica Evropske komisije Ursula von der Leyen. V oddaji tudi: - Rusija po koncu velikonočnega premirja znova udarila po Ukrajini. - Bančni sistem ostaja stabilen, krepi pa se gospodarska negotovost. - Pogonska goriva zunaj avtocest bodo od polnoči občutno cenejša.

"Why are there never coup attempts inside the United States?" an old joke among left-wing activists in Latin America goes. "Because there is no U.S. embassy there." It's a reference to U.S. actions during the Cold War to undermine democratically elected governments across the region, including Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz in the 1950s and Chilean President Salvador Allende in the 1970s. Under the auspices of fighting communism, Washington backed right-wing military coups and dictatorships throughout the hemisphere. As late as the 1980s, Jeanne Kirkpatrick - a foreign policy adviser to then-President Ronald Reagan who later served as his ambassador to the United Nations - issued a defense of authoritarian regimes that she believed helped to protect their populations from even worse revolutionary ideologies. But the joke was outdated even before January 2021, when then-U.S. President Donald Trump tried to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. In fact, over recent decades, the view of the United States as a defender of authoritarianism, at least in Latin America, has become an anachronism. Eventually, Washington lent support to the Concertacion coalition that defeated then-dictator Augusto Pinochet at the polls and led to the reestablishment of democracy in Chile in 1990. And in 2001, the U.S. backed the Inter-American Democratic Charter, which clearly states in its opening that "[t]he peoples of the Americas have a right to democracy and their governments have an obligation to promote and defend it," while promising to remove nondemocratic governments from various hemispheric institutions. More recently, perhaps the top three achievements of former President Joe Biden's policies in Latin America all came in defense of democracy. His administration supported a democratic transition in Honduras in 2021 after Xiomara Castro defeated the ruling National Party's candidate in the country's presidential election that year. Washington then had outgoing President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who had stolen Honduras' 2017 presidential election, extradited on drug-trafficking charges so he could no longer interfere in domestic politics. A year later, Biden's team pressured Brazil's military leadership to stay clear of a coup attempt led by outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro after Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won that country's presidential election in 2022. And the Biden team safeguarded an incredibly difficult presidential transition in Guatemala at the end of 2023 to ensure that President Bernardo Arevalo took office, overcoming the efforts of that country's corrupt elites to keep him from power. The U.S. record is far from perfect, and this column will no doubt provoke responses detailing the many wrongs Washington has committed in the region in recent years. But the U.S. really did shift toward a more pro-democracy stance in Latin America since the end of the Cold War. As part of that shift, the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, funded numerous local NGOs that promoted human rights and anti-corruption efforts. The National Endowment for Democracy - a government-funded semi-autonomous organization - backed training for political parties and civil society that contributed to grassroots civic activism at the heart of democratic values, winning NED the hatred of authoritarian leaders who viewed those efforts as a violation of their sovereignty. Various other U.S. agencies also provide grants for research and think tank work that is critical to policy debates in the region. All those efforts go beyond the specific episodes, such as those by the Biden administration, when the U.S. government backed a democratic movement at a critical moment. They were cooked into U.S. policy in nearly every country. That is not to say that U.S. support is the only thing sustaining democracy in Latin America. Democracy can't be imposed from abroad. The biggest efforts come from the people of Latin America, who work to impr...

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 26-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,263 on turnover of $5.5-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Wednesday - as early gains eroded as investor sentiment was spooked by concerns that America could introduce tariffs on semiconductors. Environment Minister confirms carbon cap trade regulations are under discussion Environment Minister Peng Chi-ming says his office has begun discussion regarding carbon cap trade regulations. According to Peng, the aim is to impose a stricter cap than the current self-determined reductions. Peng says his office will be inviting companies with a reputation (名聲) for excellence to work together and form an alliance to better implement any changes. The government has said the carbon fee system will take effect this year - meaning that imposed entities will have to pay their carbon fees according to their 2025 emissions in May of 2026. THSR Zuoying Station set passenger records in 2024 The Ministry of Transport says the number of High Speed Rail passengers hit a record high last year - and the number of passengers entering and exiting Zuoying Station in Kaohsiung both exceeded (超過) 10-million for the first time. According to the ministry, passenger volume on the High Speed Rail reached 78.25-million last year. This marks a 7-per cent increase from the previous year and highest in its 18 years of operations. The High Speed Rail's Taipei Station served the highest number of passengers. That was followed by Taichung Station, then Zuoying Station in third - with the number of passengers entering the station reaching 10.5-million and 10.4-million passengers leaving. Russia makes contact with Syria The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin has spoken to Syria's interim (過渡時期) leader, in the first such top-level contact since the fall of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Mimmi Montgomery reports Australia Investigates After Nurse Claims to Have Killed Israelis An Australian hospital is examining its patient records after a nurse claimed online to have killed Israelis. Officials say there was no evidence of harm to patients. A police unit focusing on a surge in antisemitic crimes in Sydney since the Israel-Hamas war began in 2023 is investigating possible breaches (違規行為) of hate speech law. Two nurses who took part in an online discussion with an Israeli influencer on Tuesday during a night shift at Sydney's Bankstown Hospital were suspended on Wednesday. Authorities say they will never work for the state health department again. Brazil Defends Oil Exploration Near Mouth of Amazon Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is defending oil exploration near the mouth of the Amazon River as a way to finance a transition to green energy. As part of statements pressing the country's enviornmental regulator to approve the plan, Lula says new oil revenue (收入) could provide the funds for the change. The offshore area, Bloc 59, is located in the Equatorial Margin, about 160 kilometers from the coast. In 2023, Brazil's environmental regulator rejected a license, citing issues such as a weak wildlife protection plan in the event of an oil spill that could affect one of the world's most biodiverse regions. State-owned oil company Petrobras appealed and a decision is pending. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. －－－－以下訊息由 SoundOn 動態廣告贊助商提供－－－－

Le 8 janvier 2023, plusieurs milliers d'émeutiers d'extrême droite dévastaient les principales institutions brésiliennes, situées sur la place des Trois-Pouvoirs, à Brasilia, une semaine après l'investiture du président élu, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Des actes violents qui laissent encore des traces dans la société brésilienne. La question de l'amnistie est notamment toujours brûlante. Environ 1 500 personnes ont été arrêtées et une trentaine d'émeutiers ont été condamnés à des peines allant jusqu'à 17 ans de prison pour tentative de coup d'État.Le journal Folha de Sao Paulo montre des images de l'évènement pour ne pas oublier ce qu'il s'est passé ce jour-là. On y voit des milliers de partisans de l'ancien président Jair Bolsonaro affluer vers le siège des trois pouvoirs à Brasilia et pénétrer dans le palais du Planalto, siège du pouvoir exécutif, mais aussi le bâtiment du Tribunal suprême fédéral.Une marée humaine, vêtue de vert et de jaune, les couleurs du Brésil, qui en quelques heures a détruit et vandalisé des œuvres d'art, dont un tableau du peintre brésilien Emiliano Augusto Cavalcanti, estimé à 8 millions de reais (plus de 12,6 millions d'euros), troué à six reprises. Le quotidien montre comment l'œuvre intitulée As Mulatas a été restaurée et a été rendue cette semaine au palais du Planalto. Lors d'une cérémonie de commémoration en présence du président Lula, le tableau a été présenté comme d'autres œuvres endommagées lors de l'invasion du bâtiment.À cette occasion, la première dame Rosangela da Silva a prononcé un discours dans lequel elle a déclaré que le palais du Planalto avait « été victime d'une haine qui continue d'encourager les actes antidémocratiques, ainsi que les discours fascistes et autoritaires » rapporte le Folha de Sao Paulo.Mais il n'y a pas que les œuvres d'art qui demandent réparation. Le journal El Globo publie une interview de la future présidente du tribunal militaire supérieur.Maria Elizabeth Rocha estime qu'il est trop tôt pour parler d'amnistie pour les personnes impliquées dans cette insurrection, car tous les inculpés n'ont pas encore été jugés, notamment les logisticiens qui ont permis le transport ou aidé l'installation des émeutiers lors du campement devant le quartier général de l'armée. « Il faut avoir une vision complète de ce qu'a été le 8 janvier, tout clarifier, et pouvoir en parler, car l'amnistie, c'est le pardon, pas l'oubli », précise celle qui aura la tâche de superviser l'enquête sur ces évènements, et pour qui la date du 8 janvier est toujours « une blessure ouverte qui prendra du temps à cicatriser ».15 ans après le séisme en Haïti : « Une réponse internationale motivée par une certaine peur »16h53, le dimanche 12 janvier 2010. Une date et une heure qui resteront à jamais gravées dans la mémoire des Haïtiens. Ce jour-là, un séisme de magnitude 7 au large de Port-au-Prince engloutissait la capitale haïtienne, faisant plus de 280 000 morts et 300 000 blessés. Dimanche prochain, le pays commémorera les 15 ans de la catastrophe, dans le contexte d'insécurité que l'on connait. Une situation qui n'est pas étrangère à la gestion directe de l'après-séisme par la communauté internationale. C'est la thèse défendue par l'Américain Jake Johnston dans son livre paru l'an dernier Aid State : « La réponse internationale au tremblement de terre était motivée par une certaine peur », estime le chercheur au Center for Economic and Policy Research de Washington DC dans un entretien avec RFI. « C'est une peur qui a eu des conséquences fatales : définir comme priorité la sécurité, les ressources militaires dans une situation qui exigeait une réponse humanitaire, a de fait ralenti la délivrance de cette aide. » Jake Johnston estime que les objectifs capitalistes américains et européens de longue date ont piégé et ré-asservi Haïti, sous couvert de l'aider : « C'est de cette manière que fonctionne le système d'aide que nous avons créé et que les pays riches soutiennent. En grande partie, il est fait pour bénéficier aux pays qui développent cette aide, et pas à ceux qui en ont besoin. » Le chercheur donne l'exemple des agriculteurs haïtiens qui n'ont pas pu lutter contre l'arrivée massive de nourriture importée et distribuée gratuitement après le séisme.À Cap Haïtien, les appels à l'aide se multiplient après les pluies diluviennesDans une interview au Nouvelliste, l'ingénieur Raoul Lecompte, qui est aussi le directeur départemental Nord du ministère des Travaux publics, Transports et Communications, appelle à la mise en place d'une « urgence gouvernementale » et dénonce une administration paralysée par le manque de moyens et notamment « l'absence criante de matériel » pour faire face aux catastrophes naturelles. La plupart des véhicules sont soit en panne, soit insuffisants pour permettre d'intervenir après chaque pluie diluvienne. Mais la problématique est bien plus profonde, souligne Le Nouvelliste, qui évoque « un environnement devenu invivable » pour les habitants qui doivent évoluer parmi les immondices qui s'accumulent, et « amplifient les risques sanitaires » en raison d'une gestion inadaptée des déchets et d'un « mauvais drainage des eaux de pluies ».États-Unis : l'état d'urgence déclaré à Los Angeles pour « des incendies sans précédent »Le violent feu de forêt qui ravage le quartier huppé de Pacific Palisades qui surplombe Los Angeles, a forcé des milliers de personnes à fuir alors que des vents de la puissance d'un ouragan posent un « danger mortel », selon les autorités.La reporter du Washington Post Brianna Sacks témoigne sur place de vents violents qui attisent le feu et qui ont obligé des habitants paniqués à abandonner leurs véhicules sur l'une des seules routes entrant et sortant de la zone et à fuir à pied le feu qui a déjà ravagé près de 1 200 hectares.La journaliste relate des problèmes de circulation alors que des voitures sont en feu au bord de la route. Son père qui vit dans les environs a dû être évacué et elle témoigne de la difficulté pour elle de couvrir cet évènement d'un point de vue émotionnel. Environ 30 000 personnes sont sous le coup d'un ordre d'évacuation, selon les autorités qui ont déclaré l'état d'urgence, « plus de 1 400 pompiers ont été mobilisés pour combattre ces incendies sans précédent », explique le gouverneur de Californie, Gavin Newsom.À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: un quartier luxueux de Los Angeles évacué à cause d'un intense incendieLa vente de voitures électriques encouragée par la politique climat de Joe BidenToujours aux États-Unis, la présidence de Donald Trump laisse craindre un recul sur les politiques environnementales.

Lors de son premier mandat, il a sorti son pays de l'Accord de Paris et il n'a eu de cesse de critiquer les dépenses engagées par Joe Biden pour une transition vers les énergies vertes.

Tras la toma de posesión del actual presidente brasileño Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, partidarios del exmandatario del país Jair Bolsonaro irrumpieron en la Plaza de los tres Poderes de Brasilia provocando graves disturbios y enfrentamientos con la policía. Por esos hechos la Policía Federal de Brasil ha presentado un documento que acusa a Bolsonaro de intento de golpe de estado. Para profundizar en esto hablamos con Amílcar Salas Oroño, es doctor en Ciencias Sociales por la Universidad de Buenos Aires, máster en Ciencia Política por la Universidad de São Paulo y autor de diversos articulos sobre la política brasileña.Escuchar audio

A proposito di Sud America, giovedì il presidente cinese Xi Jinping e quella peruviana Dina Boluarte hanno inaugurato un enorme porto nella città di Chancay, una piccola città poco a nord della capitale Lima. L'infrastruttura è stata finanziata con 1,3 miliardi di dollari dalla Cina su un totale di 3,5 miliardi, con l'obiettivo di agevolare il commercio diretto con l America Latina tramite l'Oceano Pacifico: Xi e Boluarte hanno anche firmato l'estensione dell accordo di libero scambio tra i due paesi. Un mega-porto cinese in Perù, per la precisione a Chancay, testimonianza della prospettiva sempre più globale ed extra-asiatica dell espansionismo logistico cinese, che sotto il cappello della famigerata Belt and Road Initiative procede a ritmo spedito (o quantomeno porta a termine progetti avviati in precedenza, come in questo caso). Approfondiamo il tema con Giovanni Tria, Professore Onorario di Economia, Università di Roma Tor Vergata.Al via il vertice del G20 di Rio de JaneiroÈ iniziata oggi la prima sessione di lavori del vertice dl G20 di Rio de Janeiro dedicata alla discussione dell'Alleanza per la lotta contro la fame e la povertà, bandiera della presidenza brasiliana di Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Il progetto - che mira a sradicare la fame e la povertà nel mondo entro il 2030 - si propone di sviluppare e finanziare politiche per combattere la malnutrizione con modelli diversi per ogni regione del mondo. L'accordo ha già incassato la firma di 81 paesi dei cinque continenti, all'Unione Europea e all'Unione Africana, nove istituzioni finanziarie globali e 31 Ong di tutto il mondo. In attesa che parli presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni (alle 16.10 è iniziato un bilaterale con Lula), da Rio ha parlato il ministro dell'economia Giorgetti che ha ricordato come sulla manovra "stiamo meglio di Francia e Germania". Per il ministro: "Certamente stiamo meglio del mio collega francese che gliel'hanno bocciata, del tedesco che manco l'ha presentata. A Landini che dice che siamo autoritari ma noi siamo molti più rispettosi del Parlamento di Francia e Germania, mettiamola così". Ne parliamo con Vincenzo Miglietta, Radiocor.Trump e le nomine chiave al tesoro e alla Federal ReserveSi allarga la cerchia dei pretendenti alla carica di segretario al Tesoro statunitense della prossima amministrazione Trump. Secondo il Financial Times, il presidente eletto starebbe valutando altri profili, oltre a quelli emersi pubblicamente subito dopo la sua vittoria. Restano in prima fila Scott Bessent, che è già uno dei consiglieri economici più importanti di Trump, e Howard Lutnick, copresidente del team per la transizione presidenziale. Secondo fonti vicine al presidente eletto, altre tre persone sarebbero entrate nella cerchia dei pretendenti: Kevin Warsh, ex governatore della Federal Reserve; Marc Rowan, Ceo di Apollo Global Management, e Bill Hagerty, senatore del Tennessee. Approfondiamo il tema con Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore Newsmondo.it.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 38-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,180 on turnover of $7.3-billion N-T. The market closed moderately higher on Wednesday as investors waited for the outcome of the U-S presidential election. The bellwether electronics sector once again acted a driver for the broader market, as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing in focus. Conscripts Test Domestically Made Portable Launchers A group of conscripts drafted following this year's lengthening of mandatory military service has fired domestically made portable (便於攜帶的) rocket launchers during a media event. The live-fire exercises took place at that Southern Taiwan Military Training Center in Tainan. Conscripts who spent several weeks training with man-portable shoulder-launched Kestrel and fired several rounds from the domestically built weapon system. Defense officials say most of the rockets hit targets some 200-meters away, however, one of the conscripts' launchers failed to fire due to a malfunction. The deputy commander of the training center says the launcher that failed to fire has been handed over the the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology for further examination. The conscripts were part of the first group that began their compulsory service earlier this year after the government extended military service for men to one year from the previous four months. US Trump Presidency for Supreme Court Looking ahead after the US election, Donald Trump's presidency could assure (保證) a conservative Supreme Court majority for decades AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports… Canada Orders TikTok Dissolution The Canadian government is ordering the dissolution of TikTok's Canadian business after a national security review of the Chinese company behind the social media app but said it won't block access (使用或看見某物的權利或機會). Canada's industry minister says it is meant to address risks related to ByteDance Ltd.'s establishment of TikTok Technology Canada Inc. TikTok is wildly popular with young people, but its Chinese ownership has raised fears that Beijing could use it to collect data on Western users or push pro-China narratives and misinformation. Amazon Deforestation Drops Amazon rainforest loss in Brazil dropped by one-third compared to the previous year, according to official monitoring. The statistics were announced Wednesday in Brazil's presidential palace, That is the lowest level of destruction in nine years. Moreover, deforestation in Brazil's vast savannah (稀樹草原) also decreased by 25.7%, the first decline in five years. The area destroyed reached 8,174 square kilometers. The results sharply contrast with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's predecessor, far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro, who prioritized agribusiness expansion and weakened environmental agencies.

This Day in Legal History: The Allies Declare War on GermanyOn September 3, 1939, the world witnessed a pivotal moment in legal and military history as the United Kingdom, France, New Zealand, and Australia officially declared war on Germany, marking the beginning of World War II for the Allies. This decisive action was a direct response to Germany's invasion of Poland just two days earlier, on September 1. The declarations were rooted in a series of mutual defense agreements and the moral imperative to counteract Nazi aggression, which threatened the stability of Europe and global peace.The legal frameworks for these declarations were based on international treaties and commitments, most notably the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations Covenant, both of which sought to prevent such unilateral aggression. The declarations marked the start of a global conflict that would reshape international law, particularly in the areas of war crimes, human rights, and the rules of war.As the conflict expanded, it underscored the limitations of interwar diplomacy and collective security measures, leading to significant legal and institutional changes after the war, including the establishment of the United Nations and the Geneva Conventions. September 3, 1939, thus stands as a day when legal commitments transformed into military action, shaping the course of the 20th century.After the Justice Department's recent antitrust victory against Google, the tech giant is facing increased legal challenges, with Yelp filing a lawsuit alleging Google's monopoly power in the local search advertising market. Yelp's complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, follows a ruling by Judge Amit P. Mehta that confirmed Google's monopoly in general search services and search ads.This ruling is likely to encourage more private antitrust lawsuits from competitors and consumers, potentially leading to a wave of litigation against Google. While some companies may wait for the appeals process to conclude, others, like Yelp, are acting now, hoping to capitalize on Mehta's findings.Yelp's suit focuses on Google's alleged "self-preferencing" in local search results, claiming that Google's practices harm competitors by directing users to its own products and away from sites like Yelp. However, legal experts note that Yelp will need to prove that consumers were harmed by these practices, which could be challenging.The DOJ case centered on general search markets, while Yelp's claims are specific to local search advertising—a different market that might require different legal arguments. Despite these differences, the ruling against Google in the DOJ case could provide some advantage to future plaintiffs, though each case will need to address its unique circumstances.Google in Tech Rivals' Sights for Suits After DOJ Antitrust WinA recent court ruling against Shaquille O'Neal highlights the increasing legal risks for celebrities who promote cryptocurrency and digital assets. The case involves O'Neal's promotion of Astrals and Galaxy NFTs, which have been classified as securities by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The court found that O'Neal, by soliciting purchases of these tokens, could be considered a "seller" under securities law, making him liable for the tokens' loss in value following the collapse of the crypto platform FTX.This ruling underscores the broader legal challenges facing other celebrities, such as Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen, who have endorsed similar projects. The decision is significant as it expands the definition of solicitation to include public communications via social media and online platforms, not just traditional advertising.With the law around digital assets still developing, this case serves as a cautionary tale for celebrities. Legal experts suggest that celebrities should seek legal advice before promoting such assets, as they could face significant liability under securities law. The case also sheds light on the ongoing uncertainty in how courts will treat digital assets and their promoters, potentially leading to more civil litigation in the future.Shaq's NFT Case Expands Legal Perils for Celebrity PromotersTensions between Elon Musk's companies and Brazil have escalated as the country's telecom regulator, Anatel, threatened to sanction Musk's satellite broadband company, Starlink. This comes after Brazil's Supreme Court upheld a decision to ban the social network X (formerly Twitter) for failing to comply with local regulations, including naming a legal representative. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva supported the court's action, criticizing Musk's influence. Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who led the suspension of X, also ordered the freezing of Starlink's accounts, suspecting them of being used to pay fines owed by X.In response, Musk hinted at retaliating by seizing Brazilian assets but did not specify how. Starlink, defying Moraes' order, refused to block access to X in Brazil, prompting Anatel to consider revoking its operating license. The conflict highlights a broader feud between Musk and Moraes over compliance with Brazilian laws, with critics accusing the judge of overreach and supporters praising his defense of democracy. The suspension of X, which remains inaccessible to most Brazilians, has sparked debates over freedom of expression and the role of tech companies in upholding legal obligations.Starlink emerges as fresh battleground between Musk, Brazil | ReutersGoogle has struck a deal to avoid a proposed "link tax" in California by agreeing to fund local journalism and an AI initiative, totaling nearly $250 million over five years. This includes $55 million from Google for a "News Transformation Fund," to be administered by UC Berkeley, and $62.5 million for a "National AI Innovation Accelerator." In my column for Bloomberg this week, I critique the agreement between Google and California, where Google has committed over $172.5 million to support journalism and AI initiatives. While this might seem like a win for journalism, I see it as a temporary fix that sidesteps more substantial regulatory measures, such as a proposed "link tax" or a broader data tax. In my view, these ad-hoc arrangements fall short of providing the long-term support that journalism truly needs.I believe a more effective solution would be to implement a comprehensive data tax on companies like Google, targeting the revenue they generate from user data used in advertising and the data they ingest for training AI models. This would ensure ongoing funding for journalism and better reflect the enormous influence these tech giants have in our digital economy.The deal struck between Google and California may offer some short-term benefits, but I'm concerned that it might ultimately lean too heavily on taxpayer subsidies, given that much of Google's contribution could be tax-deductible. In my opinion, a data tax would be a more equitable and sustainable approach, ensuring that tech companies contribute fairly to public goods like journalism.I see the proposed data tax as a critical step toward creating a more balanced relationship between states and large tech companies, providing a more permanent solution that better supports journalism and other digital platforms.Google–California Deal Falls Short Where a Data Tax Would SucceedGoogle avoids “link tax” bill with deal to fund California journalism and AI | Ars Technica This is a public episode.

High Court Rescinds Bail for Former Taoyuan Mayor The High Court has revoked a decision by the Taoyuan District Court to release former Vice Premier Cheng Wen-tsan on bail of 5-million N-T. Cheng was released on bail Saturday after being questioned by the Taoyuan District Prosecutors' Office in connection with an investigation into corruption (貪污，腐敗) while he served as Taoyuan mayor. The High Court has ordered another bail hearing because of what it's describing as several unanswered questions left by the district court in allowing bail. The Taoyuan District Court is holding a new bail hearing this morning.

Brazil Report on Bolsonaro Jewelry Embezzlement Unsealed Brazil's Federal Police allege former President Jair Bolsonaro embezzled jewelry worth about $1.2 million during his time in office. The report on its investigation was unsealed Monday by the Brazilian Supreme Court. It, alleges there was “a criminal association for the embezzlement of high-value gifts that were received due to the position of former President Jair Bolsonaro.” The jewelry included diamond-encrusted Rolex watches, a necklace, rings and cufflinks (袖扣), among other items. The report says some of the presents were given to government staffers acting on Bolsonaro's behalf during international trips. Bolsonaro was indicted last week charging embezzlement, asset laundering and criminal association in connection with luxury jewelry. The investigation adds pressure to the far-right leader who governed in 2019-2022 before losing his reelection bid to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. He has already lost his political rights until 2030.

Brazil Withdraws Ambassador to Israel Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has withdrawn his ambassador to Israel after months of tensions between the two countries over the war in Gaza. It's the latest repercussion (反響) from a South American nation over Israel's military campaign in the Palestinian territory. Lula has been a frequent (常) critic of Israel's offensive in Gaza. He compared the campaign to the Holocaust earlier this year. That led Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz to summon the Brazilian ambassador to the national Holocaust museum in Jerusalem for a public reprimand (懲戒). Israel says its war in Gaza is a defensive action triggered by Hamas' unprecedented assault. Israel rejects any comparisons of its offensive to the Holocaust. Iceland Volcano Eruption A volcano in southwestern Iceland is erupting again. The volcano is spewing red streams of lava and triggered the evacuation of the popular Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. The eruption Wednesday occurred in an area north of Grindavik, a coastal town of 3,800 people. The town was largely evacuated after a December eruption that ended centuries of dormancy (休眠). It was the fifth eruption and estimated to be the area's most vigorous (劇烈的) so far. The Icelandic Meteorological Office said lava shot 50 meters into the sky from a fissure (裂縫) that grew to 3.5 kilometers in length,. Anyone still in the town was ordered to leave.

Murder rates in Brazil have fallen under President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, but surveys show that people believe violence to have increased in the country. There is little trust in the police and judicial system, 64,2 million live in households with food insecurity, there have been more than 4 million cases of dengue in the first four months of 2024 alone, so how can Lula reduce the massive inequalities in Brazilian society, combat organized crime run from prisons and address poverty?  On The LatinNews Podcast this week we speak to Graham Denyer Willis, Professor of Global Politics and Society in the department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge, how can Brazil address its historical condition to violence and poverty?

Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has made saving the Amazon rainforest – now a key condition for a trade deal between the EU and South America's Mercosur bloc – a priority for his government. A year after Lula came to power, his gamble has paid off: deforestation has been halved in the Amazon. But this success comes at the cost of sacrificing another ecosystem that's just as vital to Brazil: the Cerrado. This savanna has already lost half of its natural vegetation due to intensive farming, notably for soya and maize. FRANCE 24's Fanny Lothaire, Louise Raulais and Anne-Laure Desarnauts report.

Kindred spirits or odd couple? Three days of joint photo ops featuring Emmanuel Macron and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva make for more than just entertaining viewing: they're downright confusing. The first state visit by a French president to Brazil in 11 years highlights how long overdue this reckoning was. Ironically, leftist Lula wants to get a South America trade deal with Europe over the line. But free marketeer Macron wants to protect French farmers from what's denounced here in Europe as the globalisation of agribusiness.Both do have a common foe in far-right leaders, like Lula's predecessor Jair Bolsonaro, who has no qualms about chopping down the Amazon – or France's Marine Le Pen, who's quietly rooting for a return of Donald Trump to the White House. So where do common interests lie for the likes of Brazil and France?Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Juliette Brown. 

Caracas califica de injerencias los reproches de Colombia y Brasil. RFI analiza estos roces con Luis Salamanca, profesor politólogo de la Universidad Central de Caracas. Por su parte, Argentina acoge a seis opositores venezolanos en su embajada en Caracas. Brasil y Colombia expresaron este martes su "preocupación" por las restricciones contra candidatos opositores de cara a las elecciones del 28 de julio en Venezuela, que reaccionó a asu vez calificando de "injerencistas" los pronunciamientos de estos gobiernos aliados del presidente Nicolás Maduro. "El gobierno brasileño acompaña con expectativa y preocupación el desarrollo del proceso electoral", dijo en un comunicado la cancillería del gobierno del presidente izquierdista Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, que se había mantenido al margen de las críticas a los comicios venezolanos. La cancillería de Colombia también expresó "preocupación por los recientes acontecimientos acaecidos con ocasión de la inscripción de algunas candidaturas", lo que "podría afectar la confianza de algunos sectores de la comunidad internacional" en las elecciones.Luis Salamanca, profesor politólogo de la Universidad Central de Caracas, ha afirmado en entrevista con RFI: ".Yo no lo llamo injerencia, creo que es manifestación de una preocupación que es legítima y en verdad es que cada día son menos aliados en el sentido no solamente político, sino económico. Esta es una diferencia crucial que tienen en relación con el manejo del poder. O sea, le están diciendo a a Maduro estos dos países están diciendo mire, ustedes llegaron por el voto, respeten el voto, respeten el derecho al sufragio, respeten el alternabilidad. Claro, en Venezuela está establecida la reelección indefinida".El plazo de inscripción de candidatos cerró el lunes, sin que la principal coalición opositora, Plataforma Unitaria Democrática (PUD), pudiese registrar a su abanderada, aunque este martes inscribió "provisionalmente" a un exembajador, Edmundo González Urrituia. La oposición busca postular a Corina Yoris, académica de 80 años nominada por María Corina Machado para representarla en la elección.  Machado arrasó el año pasado en las primarias opositoras, pero fue inhabilitada."Hay una oposición mayoritaria que es la que encabeza María Corina Machado y la Plataforma Unitaria. Luego hay una oposición que ha jugado en un claroscuro. Todavía faltan dos etapas la etapa de impugnaciones y la etapa final de sustituciones. Y ahí, ahí tendríamos ya finalmente la candidatura opositora. No, todavía no está cerrado el juego. Entonces digamos, aquí hay un juego muy fuerte para impedir que me la Corina sea de todas, todas, la candidata o coloque a alguien que sea su sustituto, porque obviamente le trasladaría todo el capital político que tiene" dice Luis Salamanca, de la Universidad Central de Caracas en RFI.  Argentina acoge a seis opositores venezolanos en su embajada en CaracasArgentina ha anunciado este martes que ha brindado asilo en su embajada de Caracas a seis opositores al régimen de Nicolás Maduro. Buenos Aires ha denunciado que el Gobierno venezolano cortó el suministro eléctrico de su residencia oficial en Caracas este lunes después de que la delegación recibiera a los líderes políticos venezolanos. La Cancillería argentina ha advertido a Maduro “sobre cualquier acción deliberada que ponga en peligro la seguridad del personal diplomático argentino y de los ciudadanos venezolanos bajo protección”, en un comunicado publicado este martes por la tarde.“El Presidente Javier Milei insta al socialista Nicolás Maduro a asegurar la seguridad y bienestar del pueblo venezolano, así como a convocar a elecciones transparentes, libres, democráticas y competitivas, sin proscripciones de ningún tipo”, exige el comunicado publicado por la oficina del presidente argentino.Las relaciones entre Argentina y Venezuela pasan por uno de sus peores momentos desde que Milei asumió la Presidencia. Uno de los últimos episodios fue la prohibición para los aviones argentinos de surcar espacio aéreo venezolano, en represalia por el decomiso hacia Estados Unidos del avión de Emtrasur, retenido en Ezeiza durante meses por orden del juez Federico Villena, al igual que su tripulación compuesta por venezolanos e iraníes.

Brazil recalled its ambassador after a row developed following President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's controversial statements about Israel's military operation in Gaza. Also: Navalny's grieving widow vows to continue his work, and British Museum's social media flooded with calls regarding return of Easter Island statues.

Culminó el primer año de presidencia de Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva en Brasil con puntos positivos respecto a su programa económico. El desempleo cayó en un 7.5% en el primer trimestre y la inflación parece controlada. Sin embargo, sigue habiendo muchos desafíos y mucha incertidumbre.  El presidente de Brasil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, inició un nuevo mandato convulso el 1° de enero del 2023. Pocos días después de su investidura, Brasil presenció un inédito asalto del Congreso por parte de seguidores de Jair Bolsonaro, perdedor de las elecciones.  La polarización sigue vigente, pero superado ese violento episodio, los brasileños hoy están en condición de juzgar la gestión de Lula da Silva en función de sus resultados.  Este primer año de mandato ha permitido resultados positivos, como una baja del desempleo. Este alcanzó el nivel más bajo desde el 2015. La inflación se mantuvo por debajo del 5%.Reciclaje de programas de años anteriores“Hubo el remplazo del techo de gas y realizó ajustes microfiscales”, recalca Thiago Vidal, director de análisis político de la red Prospectiva Public Affairs LATAM en Brasil. "También hubo la reforma tributaria, pero ésta no vino del gobierno sino del Congreso. Sin embargo, hay retos en términos de política pública porque estos programas son reciclajes de programas de gobierno del PT de años anteriores, como la Bolsa Familia, la farmacia popular o el programa de aceleración del crecimiento”. “No hay una política sectorial y sobre todo no hay una política industrial”, afirma el analista. Para 2024, Lula da Silva enfrenta además un desafío político mayor: las elecciones municipales de octubre. Debe cumplir promesas electorales como la protección de la Amazonía. Enfrenta también la inseguridad ciudadana, tras una ola de criminalidad en los estados de Río de Janeiro y Bahía. 

Brazil, renowned for its cultural diversity and vast rainforests, is experiencing significant political transformation.Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's return to power marked a departure from Jair Bolsonaro's conservative government. This shift heralds a renewed focus on social welfare, poverty reduction, and inclusive growth, mirroring Lula's previous term in the 2000s.However, Brazil's journey is mired in global challenges, from Russia's invasion of Ukraine to the war on Gaza. These issues raise important questions about Brazil's role and position as a major global economy.We explore these complexities as Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva talks to Al Jazeera.Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribeFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AJEnglishFind us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aljazeeraCheck our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile@AljazeeraEnglish#Aljazeeraenglish#News

durée : 00:39:03 - Le Temps du débat - par : Emmanuel Laurentin - Depuis sa prise de fonction en janvier 2023, le président du Brésil a multiplié les visites diplomatiques. Cette semaine, Luiz Inacio Lula da Siva, était en visite officielle à Riyad en Arabie Saoudite. Faut-il considérer le Brésil comme un nouvel acteur essentiel à la scène internationale ? - invités : Silvia Capanema Historienne spécialiste du Brésil contemporain, maîtresse de conférence en civilisation brésilienne à l'université Sorbonne Paris-Nord; Christophe Ventura Directeur de recherches à l'IRIS, responsable du programme Amérique latine et Caraïbes; Ligia Maura Costa Professeure titulaire à l'Ecole d'administration des entreprises de São Paulo de la Fondation Getulio Vargas (FGV EAESP) et chargée de cours à Sciences Po Paris et à l'Universität St Gallen en Suisse

Recta final esta semana para los electores argentinos que deberán elegir el próximo domingo a su presidente. El balotaje es un punto clave para la política latinoamericana. Los líderes se posicionaron en dos bandos. Los que apoyan a Javier Milei y lo que apoyan a Sergio Massa, como es el caso del presidente de Brasil, Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, el principal socio económico de la región. El presidente Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva no dejo lugar al misterio. Eligió el campo del oficialista Sergio Massa como candidato ideal a la presidencia de Argentina."Cuánto podemos crecer juntos”, dijo indirectamente Lula en redes sociales acerca de Massa.El balotaje del domingo se acerca y el mandatario brasileño utiliza el argumento de las buenas relaciones comerciales que hay que proteger entre ambos países.El mensaje de Lula da Silva es económico, pero también diplomático, con fondo de marketing político. “Su declaración se suma a la de otros dirigentes”, dice a RFI Thiago Vidal, director de análisis político de Prospectiva Public Affairs Latinoamérica, en referencia al apoyo por ejemplo de la expresidenta Michele Bachelet.“El tono de la campaña de Massa, ya sea mediante comerciales, propagandas, discursos que ha hecho el candidato o debates presidenciales, se vio muy claramente la influencia de ‘marketeros', como se les llama en Brasil”, apunta Vidal.A menos de una semana del balotaje, la inflación se sitúa en un 142,7% interanual, uno de los índices más elevados del mundo, mientras la pobreza se calcula en 40% en Argentina."Segunda marea rosa"El presidente brasileño Lula da Silva también declaró que Argentina necesita “un presidente que le guste la democracia, que respete las instituciones, que le guste el Mercosur y América del Sur”.Para Thiago Vidal es una clara crítica al candidato Javier Milei. “Lo ve como si fuera Bolsonaro.  Por su estilo y su discurso, pero también por la relación que hay entre Milei y la familia de Bolsonaro. Milei es un candidato mucho más sofisticado porque maneja bien el tema de la economía. No forzosamente es cierto lo que defiende desde una perspectiva económica, pero lo hace con datos y eso suena mucho más convincente”, explica.El politólogo añade que además Latinoamérica está viviendo una “segunda marea rosa”. “La primera fue justamente en la que participó Lula durante sus dos primeros gobiernos y en la cual participaron los Kirchner en Argentina en aquel mismo momento”. Dice que la marea rosa 2.0 es “muy distinta a la primera porque el 80% del PIB de América Latina hoy está en las manos de presidentes de izquierda o centro izquierda”.Las encuestas indican un empate técnico en Argentina entre ambos candidatos para las elecciones del 19 de noviembre. Expresidentes como el argentino Mauricio Macri, como los mexicanos Felipe Calderón y Vicente Fox, el colombiano Iván Duque y el chileno Sebastián Piñera llamaron por su parte a apoyar a Javier Milei.

South Africa's president, Cyril Ramaphosa will host Chinese President Xi Jinping, Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the country's largest city, Johannesburg, from Tuesday to Thursday.

The nuclear plant was knocked out by a massive earthquake and tsunami that killed around 18,000 people in March 2011. Japan insists the gradual release of the water is safe, but there are concerns that the more than 500 Olympic swimming pools' worth of water is contaminated.

Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has started his trip to China. The trip's aim is to upgrade relations with China now that Lula is back in office and seek new Chinese investment in the Latin American country.

Brazil's newly-elected president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has pledged to protect the Amazon and to reach zero deforestation by 2030. During a recent meeting with US President Biden, Lula said the rainforest had been "invaded" under the previous administration. His predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, relaxed environmental protections, encouraging mining and logging in the Amazon that he said would help economic development. Voters will now be waiting to see if they can trust Lula to follow through on the promises he has made so far for the Amazon. But Lula faces huge challenges: The Brazilian Congress elected in the October polls is still largely dominated by conservatives, with Bolsonaro's PL the largest party in the lower house. Lula's government will also have to contend with widespread violent crime and illegal mining and logging taking place across the region, even in the protected territories of indigenous communities. The Amazon has been under increasing pressure recently with Brazil setting a new deforestation record last year for the amount of trees cut down in the rainforest in one month. So what needs to happen to save the Amazon? Can preservation and economic development go hand in hand? How important is the conservation of the rainforest for the rest of the world? And will Lula live up to his promise to end deforestation by the end of the decade? Chris Morris is joined by: Carlos Nobre is a climatologist who is chair of the Brazilian Panel on Climate Change.
